In September 2002, we covered the story of the violent demonstrations at Montreal’s Concordia University that forced the cancellation of a speech by former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Today IDF Dave emailed a link to a documentary on this event; and it’s absolutely shocking. This shows the thuggish, extreme nature of the Saudi-funded Muslim Student Association in a way that hasn’t been exposed before; they believed they had the upper hand, and they had utter contempt for the Canadian authorities. It was a little intifada, right in the middle of Montreal.

And note that all of this occurred at the time of the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

IDF Dave comments about the film:

Lizards, give credit where credit is due. It was Martin Himel’s film, and it was produced by Elsash productions. Any kudos, should go to them. I’m just saying!

Martin Himel made this documentary (except for the first minute intro). He is a genius and he deserves our praise for making this documentary and giving a sense of what life was like at Concordia during that year.
