Wednesday, November 17, 1993 - 11:00

According to police, an August 6 anti-war protest in Montreal drew 15,000 people. A coalition of 60 groups called the demonstration. Some marchers chanted "Israel terrorist, Harper accomplice", referring to the country's Prime Minister Stephen Harper. According to a Canadian Press report, "Some of the loudest ovations were received by some ultra-religious Jews who denounced Israel's actions and its right to exist". "We are totally in opposition in every step of the way to what the state of Israel is doing", Rabbi Israel David Weiss, a member of Jews United Against Zionism from New York, told the protest.
