(Canadian Press) Pro-Palestinian protests that include hatred or harassing behaviour cross a line, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday.
Trudeau said at a press conference in Toronto that he’s heard from too many members of Canada’s Jewish community who have seen protests at synagogues and community centres and who now feel unsafe.
Nobody can be indifferent to the suffering in the Gaza Strip amid the Israel-Hamas war, and Canadians have a right to protest and make their anger heard, he said.
“This loss of civilian lives and the impact on Canadian families and people who are worried about their loved ones is entirely understandable.”
But Trudeau said he expects Canadians, including police, to act within the law and make sure everyone can feel safe.
