The Jewish community in Toronto is facing a surge in antisemitic violence and rhetoric. This includes the gruesome murder of a Canadian national by Hamas, two-tiered policing in support of pro-Hamas gangs, and a Jewish-owned business being firebombed and graffitied. The police are accused of refusing to uphold the law and adding support to the Hamas blockade of a Jewish neighborhood. City officials are urged to address the alarming escalation of Jew-hate and take action to ensure the safety of the Jewish community.
Virulent antisemitism is being peddled on the streets of Toronto and no one should be surprised at the escalation to violence. Jewish neighbourhoods being targeted by hateful protests and now a Jewish business being targeted in a suspected hate-motivated arson and graffiti…
There's been an alarming escalation of Jew-hate in Toronto, evidenced by a Jewish-owned business set ablaze this morning with "Free Palestine" sprayed on its door, indicating a hate-motivated arson. https://t.co/DLiaoKdOnI
This is despicable. Toronto’s Jewish community deserves to feel safe in our city. This has gone too far and it’s long past time to stop this antisemitic violence and rhetoric. I will keep working with @PasternakTO to address this with Council and the Mayor. https://t.co/yns3qK22dV
A Jewish-owned business in Toronto was firebombed and graffitied. This isn't an act of political protest, it's a terrifying act of unadalterated Jew-hatred. https://t.co/0wdOIZoVBp
Toronto’s unprofessional police refuse to uphold the law and in fact are adding their support to the Hamas blockade of a Jewish neighbourhood. Think about that. It’s thugs with badges that are actually stopping Jews. They’re in partnership with the in thugs in masks. If Jews try… https://t.co/X2Fpr0QpCH
Going into Toronto's #Jewish neighbourhoods and telling them to "go back to Poland" under the guise of 'protesting the war' isn't only dispicable but also HIGHLY #antisemitic! @MayorOliviaChow @fordnation this has to be addressed! https://t.co/HCTIGD4Z6r
Two-tiered policing. Toronto’s partisan, unprofessional, disreputable police aren’t stopping the masked, pro-Hamas gangs. They are positively assisting them. The cops are literally shutting down a Jewish road in support of the gangs. https://t.co/PIp7sn8zdn
At last, @JustinTrudeau speaks up! It should not have taken though 48 hours and such intense demand for him to speak out, following the gruesome murder of another Canadian national by Hamas! https://t.co/NhRcYNqnQh https://t.co/mVEA87zMdj
