(JEWISH GROUP) Hanged effigies of Trump, Netanyahu paraded through Montreal by anti-Israel groups

Effigies of US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and what appeared to be National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, hung by nooses, were paraded through Montreal on Sunday at an anti-Israel rally, according to videos published on social media by Montreal for Palestine.

The hanged effigies drew outrage from Canadian politicians and Jewish community groups, angered by footage of an effigy of a figure with a white kippa.

The effigy with the white kippa appeared to be a representation of Ben-Gvir, with a TikTok video from an April 19 protest showing an identical figure with Ben-Gvir's face.

Montreal city councilor Leslie Roberts said on social media that he asked the Montreal Police Service to investigate the incident, which he called unacceptable.
