Police say they've arrested 3 people after an anti-NATO protest that included two car fires and left some businesses with smashed windows.

Anti-NATO protesters gathered again in Montreal on Saturday to demand Canada withdraw from the alliance, a day after a demonstration organized by different groups resulted in arrests, burned cars and shattered windows.

the purpose of the protest was to demonstrate against what he called NATO’s “complicity with Israel’s military while it’s conducting its genocide in Gaza, … war crimes in Lebanon, Syria” and that “it’s enforcing illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.”

However, Allard rejected accusations of antisemitism. He said the protests were against the actions of the state of Israel and not Jewish people, adding that earlier this week the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    NATO went in by request of the Iraqi government, to train their army and police. In 2004. The coalition of the willing invaded 2003. You’re on the wrong wikipedia page.

    What certainly can’t be denied is that many countries who did participate did so to crawl up the US’s arse. But that doesn’t mean that the US is controlling them, it means that the US has a comfortable asshole.
