Recent incidents in Toronto have sparked controversy as a Jewish school was shot at by masked gunmen, leading to protests at the University of Toronto where a Hamas spokesman's speech was cheered. Politicians, including Mayor Olivia Chow, were present at a solidarity rally, but MP Ya'ara Saks faced criticism for boycotting events related to the attacks. Despite a trespass notice, anti-Israel protesters at the university refuse to disperse.
The presidents of some of Canadaβs largest universities had few answers for parliamentarians as to why antisemitic incidents havenβt been properly addressed on campuses. https://t.co/Q8BeC2r0vX

The hate weβre seeing on campuses is not a Jewish problem, itβs a π¨π¦ problem. Inaction is a choice and, today, @OCAD is being held accountable for choosing to ignore the rampant #antisemitism Samantha & other Jewish students have endured. Everyone deserves to be safe on campus. https://t.co/dQsYpuCJfh

I'm shaking my head. Saks refused to attend a solidarity rally this morning for the Jewish girls school that was shot at by masked gunmen. It was in her own neighbourhood. Every other politician was there, but her. And now she rubs those girls' face in it, by posting this. https://t.co/7MZVcD0rZD
She'll travel all the way downtown to raise a flag for the "Azerbaijani community". But she won't travel five minutes to the Jewish school in her own neighbourhood that was shot up by masked gunmen. Ya'ara Saks is a disgrace to her community. https://t.co/EgfMlLmn43 https://t.co/7MZVcD0rZD
University presidents appear before the Justice Committee and admit to @AHousefather that campus chants represent Jew-hate. So if they know itβs Jew-hate, why have they allowed it to continue β and worsen β over the past 8 months? Fire them all. https://t.co/Bc7w4eDViK
Canadaβs university presidents are smarter than their American counterparts. They admit antisemitic chants are antisemitic. So why are they not acting? https://t.co/aaDSSXuY4S
Ya'ara Saks could not spare a moment to visit the Jewish school attacked by masked gunmen, in her own riding. Because she was too busy approving the cabinet decision to increase immigration from Gaza by 500%. https://t.co/EgfMlLmn43 https://t.co/EeejMp2qNG

Holy sh!t. In an attempt to distract from her boycott of the Jewish school that was shot up in her riding, Ya'ara Saks publishes some vanity photo ops she did yesterday with some government PR campaign. She's really rubbing it in: she just won't stand with the Jews. https://t.co/ggdSkriylS

Why did your local MP, Ya'ara Saks, boycott the community solidarity rally today? The Conservatives and even NDP were there, some from hundreds of miles away. But not the neighbourhood Liberal MP. No Liberals at all, in fact. Why? (Maybe Yaroslav Hunka knows.) https://t.co/fG6MfvaTjM
Rain or shine, I stand with #Torontoβs Jewish community.

Even the antisemitic mayor, Olivia Chow, is here. She has boycotted various Israel events around the city , but even she knows when a girls school is attacked, she must put her hatred for Israel aside. But Yaβara Saks refused to come. What a disgrace. https://t.co/EgfMlLmn43 https://t.co/fx1VNhG6XX
