Montreal activist groups Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) and Tadamon! organized two marches in just as many weeks to bring public attention to the ongoing crisis in Gaza. The anti-Israel demonstration gathered supporters in front of the Hall Building last Saturday, and proceeded down Ste-Catherine street, stopping in front of the Indigo bookstore.
