Canada: Quebec man beaten with stick for not surrendering Israeli flag at Israeli Independence Day rally MAY 11, 2022 12:00 PM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS 1 COMMENT 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. Take, for instance, the fact that in May 2021, during Operation Guardian of the Walls, Palestinian flags could be seen in many neighborhoods. No one was attacked, or should have been. 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. It is also difficult to tackle antisemitic hate crimes without knowing who is perpetrating them most frequently. Yet for years now, Western police generally do not release the names of perpetrators, especially when it is a Muslim name, to protect Muslims against “Islamophobia.” “WATCH: Canadian man with Israeli flag beaten with stick on Independence Day,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem Post, May 10, 2022: A Quebec man was attacked and beaten with a stick after he refused to surrender his Israeli flag after an Israeli Independence Day rally in Westmount on Thursday. “Give us the flag,” the attackers, in their late teens or early twenties, had demanded of the victim in French, eyewitness Dan Goldstein told The Jerusalem Post. In a video filmed by Goldstein and his wife Liat Lev-Ary Goldstein, the youth struggled to pull the flag out of the hands of the victim and when they were unable to tear it from his grip, they struck him in the head from behind with a stick. A passerby tried to drive off the attackers but was also struck repeatedly with the weapon. Goldstein was looking out the window from his office to see if he could spot his daughter, who attends a nearby school. He said that they wave at each other when they see each other, which is the highlight of his day — But on Thursday, he spotted a violent crime instead. “All of a sudden I realized they’re assaulting this man,” said Goldstein. While he didn’t see what the victim was holding at first, “I realized very quickly it was an Israeli flag.”… The Montreal Police hate crimes unit is investigating the attack as a hate crime, The Suburban reported….
