In a series of incidents across Canada, pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas demonstrators targeted Jewish institutions, including synagogues and the Montreal Holocaust Museum, with protests and violent rhetoric. In Toronto, demonstrators outside a synagogue made threats and chanted "Long live the intifada", a sentiment echoed in Thornhill, Ontario, where pro-Hamas and pro-Israel groups held competing rallies. The Montreal Holocaust Museum was blocked by protestors over a pro-Israel event, with some performing Nazi salutes and calling for the death of Jews while holding signs accusing "synagogues complicit in Palestinian ethnic cleansing". Amidst these tensions, a Quebec court granted a Jewish group an injunction against pro-Palestinian protesters, marking a significant legal action against the demonstrations. Canadian leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have been criticized for their response to the events, with accusations that Trudeau has "lost control". Some protestors were reportedly escorted by police.
