And the Montreal Police, apparently, do nothing. Will the Jew-haters soon start burning books in this store, the way the Nazis did?
The mob takes over a Jewish-owned bookstore — as it’s done regularly for almost two years.
Montreal Police observe the pandemonium with a hands-off approach.
Oh, and meanwhile, the entrance had been illegally and hazardously barricaded with bike lock.

An anti-Israel blockade at the site of the Montreal Holocaust Museum has been roundly condemned by Quebec politicians as a pro-Hamas “hate” mob.
National Post“To the Pro-Hamas demonstrators who gathered outside a Montreal Jewish community building, spreading anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiments: your disgrace is inappropriate and misplaced,” reads a Monday night statement by Jeremy Levi, mayor of the Montreal-area municipality of Hampstead.
As documented in a series of social media call-outs, this event was explicitly targeted by anti-Israel demonstrators who sought to blockade entrances to the site and force the talk’s cancellation. “Child killers not welcome in Montreal, join us to shut it down,” read one Instagram post that made the rounds of Montreal’s anti-Israel community.

My great grandmother who came her as a Holocaust survivor and refugee would be very saddened by what Montreal has become. This has nothing to do with Israel, it is simply an excuse for the antisemites to show their true feelings. Stop blaming innocent Jews for actions of the Israeli government that you dislike. If they had legitimate arguments they wouldn’t need to rely on these tactics and intimidation. They know deep down they have lost the debate and most of the world still believes in Israel’s right to defend itself (in accordance with international law) after the most brutal terrorist attack since the Holocaust. Free Palestinians from Hamas.
Democracy has room for genuine critiques of any group or government but it cannot survive if authoritarian groups like these protesters are permitted to silence the opposition. These are not the actions of activists who genuinely care about the human rights of others, this is the behaviour of petulant children who wish to express their rage and antisemitism. I hope every single person who made a threat at this event is arrested and charged in the harshest possible way. Hate crimes laws should also be applied since they exist.
The action was organized by the Concordia University chapter of Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights. This is the same group whose immediate response to the Oct. 7 massacre was a statement explicitly endorsing the Hamas-led attack, and framing the murder of 1,200 civilians as the expression of “an unfaltering desire for liberation.”
“The Genocidal Zionist Army’s event has been set to happen in the vicinity of a Holocaust museum,” reads a message sent out to blockaders on Monday. It added, “we will not fall for your traps,” and accused organizers of “a new low, even for the Zionist entity.”
In a lengthy statement, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs — a co-sponsor of the event — criticized the Montreal police for allowing demonstrators to swarm the building’s entrances and exits without opposition.
“SPVM’s public order unit was not able to maintain buffer zones and failed to ensure access to all entrances and exits,” it read, noting that, “members of our community could not access an event and others were prevented from leaving for hours.”
