B’nai Brith Canada said that for the third year in a row, it has recorded the largest number of incidents of Jew-hatred in the country
Dozens of anti-Israel activists demonstrated Sunday in Montreal, Canada, where they displayed hanging effigies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), the advocacy group of Jewish Federations of Canada-UIA, protested the display organized by the Montreal4Palestine group in Phillips Square.
“Let us be clear: This is not a debate about the Middle East. Hanging effigies of Jews in the streets of Montreal evokes some of the darkest antisemitic imagery in history and is completely unacceptable. This is not ‘peaceful activism.’ It is the promotion of hatred and the incitement of violence that fuels the radicalization of our social climate. What will it take for authorities to treat these acts as the serious threat they are?” CIJA said.
