A video circulating on social media Monday shows the pro-Hamas group Mtl4Palestine displaying the flag of the ice hockey team Montreal Canadiens with an effigy of a man wearing a kippah hanging near the flagpole, while a keffiyeh-clad participant pounds a drum.

Not a Zionist, but a Jew.

The radical group has been criticized for its support for Hamas, aligning itself with groups that explicitly support the terror group, praising the armed actions of Hamas, promoting armed resistance and refusing to condemn the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

Montreal has seen a number of controversial incidents in which effigies of Jews have been hanged or burned. In May 2024, an anti-Israel encampment at McGill University in Toronto hung a cardboard cutout of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in prison-style clothes at the gates of the campus. Jewish groups condemned the incident as antisemitic, saying it evoked violent Holocaust imagery.

Also Monday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said he spoke to Canada’s foreign minister, Anita Anand, about the problem of soaring antisemitism in Canada.

“I also highlighted the horrific antisemitic wave in Canada — an average of 19 incidents a day,” he posted on X. “The Canadian government must take steps against antisemitic incitement and attacks.”
