Several incidents involving pro-Palestinian protesters making threats and inciting violence against Jewish communities in Canada have sparked outrage. In Toronto, masked protesters threatened to kill people at the Eaton Centre in front of police officers, with no arrests made. Similar incidents were reported in other cities, including Victoria and Ottawa. A 16-year-old was arrested for plotting a terror attack targeting Ottawa's Jewish community. The lack of police action in response to these threats has raised concerns about the handling of antisemitic acts and the rise of extremism in Canada.
Hatred and violence against Jewish communities have no place in Canada. I spoke about that with @DeborahLyonsSE and about how, in light of the horrifying news that someone was allegedly plotting a terror attack against Jewish people, we must keep working to combat antisemitism.
Yesterday violent pro-Palestinians protesters in a Toronto 🇨🇦 mall threatened to kill people, and Toronto police stood by and did nothing. So today Deputy Prime Minister of Canada 🇨🇦 met with the Jewish community. Just kidding, she met with Muslims to condemn Islamophobia 🤡 https://t.co/OqkysKOKNA
There is no place in the U.S. for antisemitic phrases like: ❌ “From the river to the sea” = a call for a wipe out of the only Jewish homeland on earth. ❌ “Gas the Jews” = a call for Jews’ extermination. The United States must stand firm against antisemitism.

Victoria, B.C., Imam Sheikh Younus Kathrada is at it yet again - calling for destruction of Jewish people. But B.C. politicians, incl. from the city of Victoria, don't raise a peep. I've asked them for their views. They don't get back to me. #islamophobia #cdnpoli https://t.co/KtxsCdlcOQ

This is not how the law works. When a cop witnesses a threat they must arrest. The Toronto police are political stooges and are allowing Hamas supporters to threaten to kill people now. https://t.co/G2CHaKvnWU
If I hear Trudeau or one of his surrogates again say “there’s no place in Canada for hate like this” I may scream. The fact is there is a place for it and by essentially ignoring or tolerating the wave of antisemitism sweeping the country, that “place” seems to be expanding. https://t.co/S7I6CAIFjl
Just last week PM Trudeau says he understands the anger of this protester threatening to kill a member of the public in front of the Toronto police. https://t.co/zLz5MM47R9
So police witnessed a death threat, but they won’t do a thing if the victim is too afraid to press charges? Just pretend these Hamas thugs are peaceful anti-vax protesters. You had your batons out then, you useless cowards. And why is the union the spokesman here? #cowards https://t.co/iTNnZdjMni

These antisemitic acts of hate have no place in our community and no place in our country—period, end of story. Those responsible must be found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/am12g3FpL2
