This happened in the affluent suburb of Westmount, Montreal. Antisemitic incidents are on the rise in Canada, to the degree that to merely raise an Israeli flag carries a risk. It is noteworthy, however, that many raise Palestinian flags, and not only on al-Quds day, without experiencing attacks.

Palestinian flags are also proudly raised at pro-Palestinian protests and al-Quds day rallies, which are infamous for fueling the fires of antisemitism. Despite inciting hatred, nothing is done.

This attack in Westmount, Montreal, could have been by a Nazi sympathizer or a pro-jihad Islamic supremacist.
