More than 3,000 people marched through downtown Montreal on Sunday, protesting Israel's military campaign against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

Many of the demonstrators said they felt compelled to come out after hearing about Israel's attack on the village of Qana, which killed at least 56 people, mainly women and children.

"Nobody is speaking, everyone is silent," one protester told the CBC. "I'm ashamed now of being Canadian. I'm proud to be a Quebecker because the Bloc Québécois is the only one who denounced what's going on."

On Friday, Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe and interim Liberal leader Bill Graham criticized the stance taken by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. When the conflict erupted on July 12, the prime minister described Israel's response to Hezbollah militants as "measured" self-defence.

1. Has anyone read harper's response to the murderous bombing

in Qana? Leaders from around the world have condemned Israel, except the US and UK of course, yet I have searched the news sites and have NOT found one word from our slimy, chicken-shit Prime Minister. Surprised, no, disgusted yet again, yes.
