Halifax International Security Forum, November 22-24

Militant Anti-War Rally Defends the
Interests of Canadians

Demonstration at Halifax International Security Forum, November 23, 2024

Despite the pouring rain and high winds, between 50 and 60 people gathered in Peace and Friendship Park to denounce the 15th Annual Halifax International "Security Forum."

These so-called security forums are a product of the aggressive, warmongering NATO organization, and bring together war criminals and warmongers from around the world who are associated with the U.S. empire. Amongst them are those connected with the genocidal campaign of the Israeli Zionists. At this year's conference there was a bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation. These are the same people who welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to Washington, where they gave him numerous standing ovations and voted for credits to support the Israeli war machine.

Additionally these conferences include Israeli Zionist delegates such as former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and other government and military officials.

Protesters this year included many pro-Palestinian activists who were there to express their rage at the U.S. and its allies involved in the current genocide. Speakers at the rally including representatives of Voice of Women for Peace, Labour 4 Palestine, Independent Jewish Voices and No Harbour for War.

With a high level of militancy, people at the rally shouted above the howling winds such slogans as Not one nickel, not one dime. No more money for Israel's crimes!; Hey Trudeau, what do you say, How many kids did you kill today?; Killing children is a crime! Killing doctors is a crime! Bombing hospitals is a crime!
