After peaceful, anti-genocide protesters established an encampment on the campus of Montreal's McGill University, two pro-Israel students sought a sweeping injunction barring pro-Palestinian protests near university buildings. Their application was dismissed. Undeterred, McGill University itself is now seeking an injunction to compel Montreal police to dismantle the encampment with force. McGill is taking this step at the very moment when Israel is escalating its genocide in Rafah.
Dimitri Lascaris discussed these developments with Montreal-based author, political commentator and activist, Yves Engler. In 2002, Engler helped lead a student revolt at Montreal's Concordia University which led to the cancellation of a speech by Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
