Protesters at an anti-Israel event in Montreal this week displayed effigies of Israeli and American politicians hanged with a rope, video showed.

Footage shared on social media showed that figures representing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and US President Donald Trump hanging from nooses at a protest that took place Sunday in the center of the Canadian city, organized by the extremist group Montreal4Palestine.

Other videos that were more widely shared on social media seemed to indicate that the figure of a Jew wearing a kippah was hanged. Viewed from the front, it was evident that the figure was a depiction of Ben Gvir.

Scenes of the display were included in a video montage the group posted on social media after the event.

The display also appeared to include the flag of the local hockey team, the Montreal Canadiens. No reason has been given.

Canadian MP Anthony Housefather called the display “disgusting, antisemitic and clear incitement,” while city councilor Leslie Roberts said the incident is “unacceptable.” Both said the police should investigate.
