Toronto has experienced a significant rise in hate crimes, with a particular surge in antisemitic incidents, as reported by the city's police chief and various news outlets. The increase in reported hate crimes, which has been quantified at 93% since October 7, coincides with the aftermath of Hamas' deadly attack in October and the ongoing war in Gaza. This period has seen hate crimes against both Jewish and Muslim communities in Toronto escalate, with 203 reported hate crimes since October 7. Specifically, of the 84 hate crimes reported in 2024, 56% have been identified as antisemitic, marking the highest number of such incidents in the last three years.
