Over the past 19 months, on several occasions, Toronto Police Service has published figures showing an alarming surge in antisemitic hate crimes in our city. Just this month, the TPS released data showing a historic high in reported hate crime incidents in 2024, with Jews the most targeted.
While the Jewish community represents less than 4 per cent of Toronto’s population, anti-Jewish hate crimes accounted for 40 per cent of all reported incidents.
Remarkably, even in the face of incontrovertible, well-documented facts, some people seek to diminish or rationalize this sobering situation. They insist it’s not about Jews, it’s about Israel. But the reality on the ground tells a very different story, as Jewish individuals and institutions continue to face an onslaught of hate, as documented by the recent police statistics.
The author ends with a plea for non-Jews to take action especially our public officials.
Beyond lip service nothing will happen.
Our public officials are part of the problem. It was they who imported the Islamists.
Years of conditioning Canadians as racist settler Islamophobes has paid off thanks to DEI and CRT.
