OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is condemning a weekend protest on Parliament Hill where a participant openly supported the Hamas attack on Israel last fall.
Saturday's protest, which came more than six months into the Israel-Hamas war, featured Palestinian flags and placards calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
In a tweet Sunday, Trudeau described some of the rhetoric as"hateful intimidation" and called it"unconscionable.""Our resistance attacks are proof that we are almost free," a man can be heard saying in the video from the protest. Intifada is an Arabic word with meanings that include shaking off oppression. In English, it is most commonly associated with two periods of particular intensity in the Israel-Palestine conflict, which included a series of attacks by Palestinian terrorist groups on public venues inside Israel.
