(Worthy News) – A new report shows that Canada has seen the number of reported antisemitic incidents, including violent crimes, surge by a massive 670% since Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel last year, Ynet News reports.
Showing that Jews in Canada have suffered murder, arson, child harassment, and attacks on synagogues and schools in the last year, the report was released on Tuesday by Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combatting Antisemitism, Ynet reports.
“In Toronto, 19% of all hate crimes in 2023 were directed at Jews, with a sharp increase in the last quarter as tensions in the Middle East escalated,” Ynet said in its report.
“In a recent incident, Toronto police launched an investigation into a suspected hate crime after a shooting outside a Jewish girls’ school on Yom Kippur. No injuries were reported, but a school window was shattered by bullets,” Ynet said.
Mass Pro-Palestinian protests have been seen around the world, with such activity notably taking hold on college campuses. “This has led to increased support for terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, along with violence during demonstrations in cities such as Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto, as well as universities like McGill,” Ynet noted.
