Tensions on the rise at McGill encampment

Tensions surrounding Mcgill's encampment are growing. On Friday, a small group of Jewish activists made their way to Mcgill's Lower Field to talk to protesters. They're trying to show that in order to be pro the Palestinian people, for which I'm very pro, they're my cousins, you have to be against the Israeli people, and there is no future without either populations. This latest escalation comes just days after a judge ruled against Mcgill's request for an emergency injunction, the university reacting shortly after the incident on campus, saying the university will move forward with the next steps in the process. To seek an interlocutory injunction. In this step, the judge will weigh in on the legal merits of Mcgill's request to clear the encampment. Free Free Palestine. Back in the encampment, the property senior said, recruited the community to quote, protect them. We had some Zionists come on campus, you know, saying they were looking for dialogue. They're usually never looking for dialogue. On the other hand, a few Jewish students who happen to pass by also ask for help. I heard that a few of my friends are here, and I heard that they're being surrounded. I didn't want them to be alone. So I obviously came and I wanted to support them. But it's chanting louder. The Jewish group was escorted out of Roddy Gates. One of the students, who did not want to appear on camera, told Global News that police moved them to prevent a large outbreak of violence. We're not here to be violent. We're not here to be hateful. We're here to show that the only way forward is together, and they're here to show that the only way forward is without me. The SPVM did not respond to Global News requests for comment, but confirmed that no arrests were made in connection to protests. Matilda Sharona, Global News Montreal.
