Jewish advocacy organization B\u2019nai Brith Canada expressed outrage after a Jewish man was assaulted by a taxi driver amid a barrage of anti-Semitic slurs earlier this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Sunday, July 28, the victim, who has asked B\u2019nai Brith not to share his name publicly, was visiting his elderly parents at a condo building in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal.<\/span><\/p>\n

While waiting for a cab operated by the Taxi Champlain company to stop blocking the underground garage, the victim heard the taxi driver shout, \u201cI won\u2019t move for any f***ing Jews!\u201d The driver then allegedly threatened to kill the victim, who was visibly identifiable as a Jew because he wears a kippah, or Jewish head covering.<\/span><\/p>\n

The victim then attempted to photograph the taxi number in order to file a complaint, at which point the driver exited his car and punched him repeatedly until a parking supervisor intervened. The victim\u2019s phone was also smashed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much of the incident was captured on a nearby security camera. The victim was injured and had to go to a nearby emergency room for treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a shocking anti-Semitic hate crime, in which someone could have been gravely injured or even killed,\u201d said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B\u2019nai Brith Canada. \u201cOur thanks as a community go out to the good Samaritan who stepped in before this event became even uglier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

B\u2019nai Brith is in touch with Montreal Police Service, who are investigating the incident and have contacted Taxi Champlain to gather evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coincidentally, also on July 28, another Jewish resident of Montreal was subjected to anti-Semitic death threats, this time at a Tim Hortons in the city. This incident was also captured in part on video.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quebec had the largest provincial share of anti-Semitic incidents in 2018 according to B\u2019nai Brith\u2019s Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents, which found that 709 of Canada\u2019s 2,041 total occurrences took place in the province.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many local Jews, especially those who wear a kippah (skullcap) or other visible signs of Jewish identity, have reported feeling less secure in the shadow of Quebec\u2019s Bill 21, which bans religious garments such as a kippah from various public sector professions.<\/span><\/p>\n
