Counter Protest on Zionist Independence Day
Montreal, April 24, 2007

On April 24, 2007, members of Montreal's Jewish Community gathered in downtown Montreal to celebrate the 59th anniversary of the Zionist state.

Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews held a counter-demonstration near the rally, asking for the speedy and peaceful dismantlement of the Zionist State.

The so-called "Israeli Independence Day" has been a day of mourning for traditional Jews since the creation of the Zionist State in 1948.

Demonstrations and protests were also held in Jerusalem, Holy Land. View images from the Jerusalem Zionist Independence Day protest. or the Beis Shemesh Zionist Independence Day Protest
