Another Synagogue Attacked in Trudeau’s Canada: Firebombed in Montreal
A synagogue in Montreal, Canada, was set ablaze by
a crude firebomb thrown through a window overnight Tuesday into
Wednesday, the latest attack on a Jewish house of worship on Prime
minister Justin Trudeau’s watch. Listen To Story
The Montreal Gazette reported:
Prayer services at Congregation Beth Tikvah were held outdoors Wednesday morning, as the synagogue entrance was taped off after a crude firebomb was thrown through a window overnight.
It’s the second time the building has been attacked in 14 months. The synagogue was the target of a Molotov cocktail in November 2023, one month before Hanukkah. Wednesday’s attack took place one week before the Jewish holiday.
…
During an inspection at 7:20 a.m., police discovered two windows were smashed in the Federation CJA building [housing local Jewish institutions] across the street. No incendiary objects were found at that location.
Trudeau condemned the attack:
This vile antisemitic attack against Montreal’s Jewish community is cowardly and criminal.

The @SPVM is investigating the incident — and I trust the perpetrators behind this hateful act will be quickly brought to justice.https://t.co/q04ahurUvz
However, it was not an isolated incident. Jewish institutions in both Montreal and Toronto have been hit by gunfire this year.
Critics argue that Trudeau’s anti-Israel policies have encouraged antisemitism. Last month, Trudeau said he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the orders of the International Criminal Court — which has never taken action against the now-deposed genocidal dictator of Syria, Bashar al-Assad.
