Montreal man seeks $86,301 in damages after being arrested while displaying an Israeli flag at a cycling race. The criminal charge was later withdrawn.
A Montreal man has filed a lawsuit against the city's police department after he was arrested while displaying an Israeli flag at an international cycling competition, alleging that officers used excessive force and provided an inaccurate account of the incident, CTV News reported.
The lawsuit comes against the backdrop of a rise in reported antisemitic incidents in Montreal following the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023.
Background on Quebec - the separatists in the province have liked to show common cause with the so-called Palestinians. Just as they are supposedly occupied and oppressed by Israel, so too is Quebec an unwilling and oppressed member of Canada. Quebec has long been recognized as the most anti-Semitic province in the country (although British Columbia is trying to catch up).
