On Facebook, “Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights McGill” deplored the attack on a hospital in Gaza.
The demonstration aims to demand an end to this “genocide which deliberately targets medical and civilian targets”.
“The bombs currently being launched in Gaza are American and our Canadian state has given the green light to this genocide,” proclaims the student organization.
