“The protest currently underway in front of a Jewish place of worship, Shaar Hashomayim, in Montreal are a disgusting display of vitriol and beyond the pale any form of acceptable protest,” said Miller in a post on X.

“Protests tonight outside the synagogue not only violate the current injunction protecting places, of worship, but violate the peace and safety of residents and of our Jewish community members in particular,” wrote Gainey, the MP for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount. “The hate speech and antisemitic chants filling the quiet residential street are obscene. It’s unacceptable and has to stop.”
According to the Montreal police, around 40 pro-Palestinian protesters were holding a demonstration outside the Shaar Hashomayim.
As of around 9 p.m., the protest was peaceful and no arrests had been made, a spokesperson for Montreal police said.
