Last Thursday, anti-Israel demonstrators gathered outside the Montreal residence of former Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly. The protest crossed the boundary between her public and private life. Protesters projected messages onto her condo, including phrases like, "Mélanie war criminal — every time Mélanie lies a child in Gaza dies. Israel terrorist. Mélanie complice (complicit)."

A woman using a megaphone stated, "Canada’s arming of Israel during this genocide is the greatest stain of our generation. Ms. Joly’s actions warrant immediate consequences." However, she did not specify what those consequences should be.

Earlier this month, current Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand closed her constituency office in Oakville, Ontario, citing safety concerns stemming from anti-Israel protests. The tactics employed by these demonstrators appear to be intensifying. This comes despite Prime Minister Mark Carney's recent commitment to recognize Palestine as a state under certain conditions.

In a video discussion, political strategist Anthony Koch and a commentator analyzed whether these protests, along with the historical connections between FLQ terrorists and the Palestinian Liberation Organization, could lead to an increase in political violence in Quebec, reminiscent of the October Crisis of 1970.
