A Jewish school in Montreal, the Belz School at the Young Israel of Montreal, was targeted with gunfire, marking the fourth instance of a Jewish school being hit by bullets during the night. This is the second such incident in Canada within a week, following a similar attack on a Jewish school in Toronto. The recent attack has sparked widespread condemnation from various leaders and organizations. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his disgust and relief that no one was hurt, while opposition leader Pierre Poilievre called for stronger government action to protect Jewish Canadians. Montreal police are investigating the incident, and Jewish groups have urged the community to remain vigilant. Additionally, an incendiary device was thrown at the Schara Tzedeck synagogue in Vancouver, causing minor damage but no injuries. These incidents highlight a troubling rise in antisemitic violence across Canada. Reporting by Jennifer Cowan.
Three vile acts of antisemitic hate at schools and synagogues this week. Countless families terrified their kids won’t make it home. This isn’t the Canada I know. The Canada that promises sanctuary. The Canada that welcomed me as a refugee. Enough is enough.
Jew hatred in Canada 🇨🇦 is spiking. This week alone, two Jewish schools—in Montreal & Toronto—were targeted with gunshots and a synagogue in Vancouver with an incendiary device. An effigy of Israeli Prime Minister was hung at McGill University as part of the anti-Israel… https://t.co/6XIYXAK9sD

Another Jewish school targeted with gunfire in Canada. To combat this anti-semitism Trudeau is bringing 5000 more families to Canada from a Country that hates Jewish people. https://t.co/8BbxI8uUcw
Question for @JustinTrudeau: How many Jewish schools have to be shot at before you do more than offer empty statement? #cdnpoli
Disgusted that another Jewish school has been the target of a shooting. Relieved that no one was hurt, but I’m thinking of the parents and community members in Montreal who must be incredibly shaken. This is antisemitism, plain and simple — and we will not let it win.
Another horrific incident of a shooting at a Jewish school in Montreal. When is enough going to be enough for the “this isn’t who we are crowd?” Weak governments. No enforcement. Unchecked rampant antisemitism. Canada in 2024. #cdnpoli
The second shooting at a Jewish school in a week. We are witnessing a terrifying escalation of anti-semitism in this country. The Trudeau government must step up and finally do something to protect Jewish people in Canada against this violence. https://t.co/pxClNh2Rgw
Another Jewish school - this time in Montreal - was hit by gunfire. Days ago, someone shot at a school in Toronto. It's time for Canada to wake up. You are failing to protect Jewish Canadians. https://t.co/obi160Jd7U
Another Jewish school has been shot at in Canada, this time in Montreal. A wave of domestic terror is sweeping this country and inaction seems to be the only response. It’s utterly incomprehensible. https://t.co/YPHznUWqux
