The Facts
On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau again condemned violence at pro-Palestine and anti-NATO protests in Montreal over the weekend.
Amid heightened tensions between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine supporters in the city, the protests on Friday came following a week that included a number of anti-Israel boycotts and reports of an instance at the University of Concordia in which a masked demonstrator was filmed appearing to direct Nazi terminology at pro-Israel counter-protesters.
The protests also came in a week that saw the International Criminal Court (ICC) issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Canada's hosting of the NATO parliamentary assembly. Police made three arrests after cars were set on fire and shop windows were shattered, with protesters accused of throwing smoke bombs and metal objects.
The Spin
Left narrative
It's important to maintain law and order. Protesters cannot be allowed to run amok, setting cars on fire, smashing windows, and throwing rocks at the police. There is no place for antisemitism, intimidation, or violence in Canadian society. Trudeau has rightfully condemned these appalling actions.
Right narrative
While lawless protestors were running roughshod around Montreal, smashing up businesses and burning cars, Trudeau was shaking his tail-feather at a Taylor Swift concert. It tells you everything you need to know about Canada's Liberal government.
