Its about time they start beating the shit out of them. Hopefully the same in Toronto Monday.

Montreal police use gas, batons on pro-Palestinian protesters

Police said: 'We had to intervene, as they were blocking a main street and not complying with police orders'
The Montreal police used tear gas and batons to disperse a pro-Palestinian protest they say was blocking a busy downtown street Monday afternoon.

Video of the intervention circulating on social media shows officers in riot gear firing gas canisters, as well as shoving and aggressively striking protesters with batons.
Police say protesters from the nearby Université du Québec à Montréal pro-Palestinian encampment attempted to block President Kennedy Ave. and de Maisonneuve Blvd. around 3:30 p.m.

“When police intervened to disperse them, the protesters did not co-operate with the officers’ demands,” said police spokesperson Sabrina Gauthier.

“After several discussions on-site, the officers had to use chemical irritant gas and batons to repel the demonstrators,” Gauthier added. “We had to intervene, as they were blocking a main street and not complying with police orders.”

She said there were no arrests or tickets issued; nor were any serious injuries reported, according to Gauthier, though protesters say otherwise.

A spokesperson for the encampment at UQAM could not immediately be reached Tuesday morning.

In a social media post, those behind the encampment denounced the police force’s “immediate crackdown” and said it came without warning or notice to disperse.

“Demonstrators were pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed and bludgeoned,” they wrote.

“Several people were injured, including head injuries (falls and truncheon blows), facial injuries (tear-gas grenades to the head and truncheon blows), minor wounds and contusions,” they added.

They said the protest was intended to be a “temporary zone of autonomy” for the Palestinian cause. It was used to draw awareness and invite people to join the student protests against Israel’s military response in Gaza.

“The disproportionate police intervention testifies to the police’s fear of the spread and popularization of the struggle for the liberation of Palestine,” they added.

The pro-Palestinian encampment at UQAM has been in place since May 12. There was a noticeable police presence around the site over the weekend.

On Monday, UQAM rector Stéphane Pallage released a statement to staff at the university saying the situation had become more worrisome of late, with three entrances to the school shut off by protesters, more barricades being erected around the encampment and some protesters stockpiling pieces of asphalt within the camp.

“People dressed in black with their faces covered are intimidating those who approach the barricades,” Pallage wrote. “There was an altercation with a journalist, and even with two police officers who were attempting to stop graffiti from replacing the name Pierre Dansereau with Al-Aqsa. Some of our employees are speaking of a growing sense of insecurity.”

Pallage said the encampment has been infiltrated by groups with more radical objectives, and with entrances being blocked and the security situation deteriorating on campus, he would not hesitate to call for an injunction to dismantle it if things do not improve.

Another encampment has been in place on McGill University’s downtown campus for more than three weeks.

Congratulations, Amoeba, on the equivalent of post-grad thesis for a one-celled organism. Unfortunately your thesis is based on a racist and fraudulent hypothesis.

BTW, what thuggish acts did she personally partake of
?

Accusing someone of thuggery and then having no evidence to back it up is the essence of cluelessness.
Feigning stupidity? Unlikely.

They shouldn't move into Western countries that don't align with their culture. Either do what the Italians do or stay in your country. The Divine comedy is one of the greatest works of Western literature.

Backlash as Muslim children in Italy exempted from studying Dante

An Italian school’s decision to exempt Muslim children from studying Dante because the mediaeval poet placed Mohammed in hell in The Divine Comedy has sparked a backlash and a debate over cancel culture.

Politicians from both the Left and Right said that Dante was a pillar of Italian literature and that it was unacceptable for children to be exempted from studying his writing because of their faith.

The row broke out after a secondary school in Treviso in the north of the country reportedly allowed two Muslim children, aged around 14, to not attend classes in which The Divine Comedy was being studied.

Written at the start of the 14th century, it is an allegorical poem that revolves around a man’s journey to Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, aided by two guides, Virgil and Beatrice.

In the epic work, Dante places the Prophet Mohammed and his cousin Ali in Hell, where they are tortured by sword-wielding demons.

“How is Mohammed mangled! Before me walks Ali weeping, from the chin his face cleft to the forelock,” Dante wrote.

The exemption was criticised by MPs from across the political spectrum.

‘Shameful case of cultural cancellation’
Simona Malpezzi, a senator with the centre-Left opposition Democratic Party, said it was “deeply wrong” to deprive any pupils of the chance to acquire the “deep knowledge of Italian culture that studying Dante brings. Knowing Dante does not take anything away from children’s religious faith and adds a great deal to their knowledge of Italian culture”.

Federico Mollicone, an MP from Brothers of Italy, the party led by prime minister Giorgia Meloni, said: “This is just the latest shameful case of cultural cancellation. An exemption like this not only undermines our national identity but deprives new generations of formative scholastic study.”

Carlo Pasquetto, a member of the centre-Left Azione party, said it was “madness” to view Dante as being offensive to Muslims.

“Dante is the father of humanism, of Italy, of Europe. To decide not to teach him in the name of a false conception of tolerance will create enormous problems of integration in society. This is not tolerance, nor integration, it is the suicide of the West which instead of celebrating plurality is cancelling its own identity.” Dante should be taught to all children in Italy, he said, “regardless of the colour of their skin or the religion of their parents”.

“True integration should not be about exempting Muslim children when you talk about Mohammed in the 27th Canto [of The Divine Comedy] but to get them involved so that they can explain their own culture and their own points of view on the narrative.”

Matteo Salvini, deputy prime minister and the head of the Right-wing League party, said on social media platform X that the exemption was “shameful and unacceptable”.

“Those who don’t want to adapt to our culture, traditions and values can quietly go back to where they came from. Dante is the father of the Italian language and a genius who champions our country on the world stage,” he wrote.

Mario Conte, the mayor of Treviso, also criticised the school’s decision. “I would prefer that they cut down on kids looking at TikTok and social media rather than Dante. Less mobile phones, more Divine Comedy.”

What acts of thuggery did she commit, as you claim? I already asked you once and this is your reply to that question? Stupidity indeed.

I agree with you, though. You don't have to feign stupidity.

Some libtard shot up a Jewish school in Toronto

Last year if there were shots fired around Dufferin and Finch people would be starting multiple threads about the increase in gang warfare.
Today its immediately declared antisemitic.

Wait for the investigations.
