UMVA has learned that a devastating shooting in a Montreal Jewish neighborhood has left one police officer dead and another injured, alongside a Jewish man, Michael Moshe Mizrahi, in a disturbing escalation of antisemitic violence in Canada.
The shocking incident occurred on Monday morning in the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, a vibrant area home to many visibly Jewish families and institutions, including Beth Rivkah Academy, Chabad NDG, and the Vaad Ha’ir. Witnesses reported hearing as many as a dozen shots ring out, prompting an immediate police response.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the shooter, clad in camouflage gear, was eliminated by another officer as he attempted to reload. The police operation is still underway, with authorities urging residents to shelter indoors and avoid the area.
The brutal attack bears an unsettling resemblance to a growing pattern of antisemitic violence worldwide. Graphic and bloody videos began circulating online, showing bodies and blood on the sidewalk near a kosher supermarket, with an SKS-style semi-automatic rifle – a weapon favored by terrorists – visible near the unmoving assailant.
This latest atrocity is part of a disturbing trend in Canada, now considered by Israel and experts to have one of the worst antisemitism problems globally. Antisemitic incidents have been escalating alarmingly, with schools, businesses, and synagogues targeted in a spate of violent attacks.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Prime Minister Carney recently acknowledged the growing crisis in a speech at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto. However, the address offered few concrete solutions, sparking concerns that the government is not doing enough to address the issue.
The Montreal shooting has sent shockwaves through the community, raising fears that Canada is becoming a hotbed of antisemitic violence. As the investigation continues, one thing is clear: the country needs more than just words – it needs decisive action to protect its Jewish citizens.
The neighborhood where the shooting occurred is one where families have traditionally coexisted peacefully. The attack has left many wondering if this is the latest manifestation of a global trend of antisemitic terror.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that authorities are still exploring the motivations behind the attack, but the eerie similarities to other antisemitic attacks worldwide are hard to ignore. For now, the community remains on edge, demanding answers and action from their leaders.
