In a series of events across Canada, particularly in Toronto and Montreal, protests have escalated into violent confrontations and displays of antisemitism. Protesters disrupted a York Centre Federal Liberal Association dinner in Toronto, blocking entry and exchanging heated words with attendees. The dinner tickets were priced at $750 each. In Montreal, pro-Hamas demonstrators and pro-Israel counter-protesters clashed outside of significant Jewish sites, including the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue and the Montreal Holocaust Museum. Protesters performed Nazi salutes, chanted 'Death to Jews,' and called for the genocide of Jews at various locations. High-profile MPs, including Chrystia Freeland and Ya’ara Saks, were expected at the disrupted Toronto event, while in Montreal, the violence targeted Jewish community centers, schools, and synagogues. The Canadian government, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has been criticized for its silence and inaction in the face of these events.
Antisemitism is reaching new heights in Canada; the provincial and federal governments are failing Jewish Canadians, and this is the result. Watch as pro-Hamas protestors march through a Jewish neighborhood harassing people at their homes. https://t.co/wM4BL58qFW
