During the incident at Concordia University, a 22-year-old student was arrested by the SPVM (Montreal Police) for assaulting a security guard.
Online videos show anti-Israel students aggressively grabbing Israeli flags and the property of the pro-Israel students. Yet, a lingering question remains: will those involved in these antisemitic acts face similar charges, echoing previous cases where teenagers faced criminal charges for pulling down an LGBTQ flag in their schools?

We have sought perspectives from both anti-Israel and pro-Israel students to provide a comprehensive understanding of the incidents. The situation escalated so abruptly that multiple police officers were deployed to restore peace.
