Trudeau condemns brawl at Concordia, gunfire at 2 Jewish schools in Montreal: ‘Not who we are’

On Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced the recent increase in threats and antisemitism amid a recent series of violence in Montreal that saw tensions between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli student groups at Concordia University escalate into a brawl on Wednesday and bullet holes found on the exterior of two Jewish schools overnight. “No matter how strongly felt your fears or convictions are, it doesn’t give you the right to do what we saw yesterday at Concordia or in the shots fired at Jewish schools today in Montreal. These are not who we are,” Trudeau said.
