Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attacked pro-Palestine demonstrations held across Canada, dubbing them a "glorification of violence" before heading over to a pro-"Israel" rally in a show of support to the Israeli occupation government.

Claiming Resistance is "terrorism", Trudeau writes, via his X account, that "The glorification of violence is never acceptable in Canada – by any group or in any situation. I strongly condemn the demonstrations that have taken place and are taking place, across the country in support of Hamas’ attacks on Israel. Let’s stand united against acts of terror."

“Hamas terrorists aren’t a resistance, they’re not freedom fighters. They are terrorists, and no one in Canada should be supporting them, much less celebrating them,” the Prime Minister said as he condemned the attack at a vigil in Ottawa in the crowded Soloway Jewish Community Centre earlier on Monday evening.

Making no reference to the massacre of Gaza, the history of Israeli occupation dating back to 1948, nor the beginning of the era of the siege of Gaza, Trudeau sent a message to "Israel" in a recently published statement claiming, without the consent of a large number of pro-Palestine supporters, that "Canadians stand with you," adding "And our government stands ready to support you. Our support for Israel is steadfast."

Trudeau further alleged that "Canada unequivocally condemns Hamas’ barbaric, brutal terror attacks – and reaffirms its support for Israel’s right to defend itself. We also call for the immediate release of those being held hostage, and we demand that they be treated in accordance with international law."

The Canadian even chose to "honor those whose lives have been cut short by Hamas’ terror attacks against Israel," and announced that Ottawa will be "lighting the Peace Tower in blue and white – and we’ve lowered the flags on the Peace Tower, at the Prime Minister’s Office, and across Parliament Hill. Canada stands with Israel."

This came days after the Prime Minister invited Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old ex-volunteer affiliated with the 14th Waffen SS Grenadier Division, a Nazi military unit that was deemed a criminal organization during the 1946 Nuremberg trials, to Parliament where he received a standing ovation.

The protests included statements and chants that reaffirmed their commitment to the Palestinian cause without any condition in the face of zionist attempts to criminalize Resistance and commit a possible second Nakba in Gaza.

PYM also stressed on Palestinian people's right to Resistance and self-determination, highlighting their "Solidarity with people in Palestine who’ve resisted zionist occupation for 75 years and the people of Gaza, under 16 years of violent blockade "
