In the wake of the October 7 Islamic attack on Israel, Canada has become increasingly dangerous for its Jewish population, with incidents ranging from gunfire at schools to genocidal calls against Jews, all amid a troubling lack of government action.

Canada, under the left-wing leadership of Justin Trudeau, has become increasingly hostile towards its Jewish citizens. Since the October 7 attack on Israel by Islamic terrorists from Hamas, there has been a dramatic surge in anti-Jewish incidents across the country. This rise in violence and intimidation has not been met with sufficient outrage or action from the government, leaving the Jewish community feeling vulnerable and unprotected.

The Latest Attack: Shots Fired at a Toronto Jewish Girls School

In the most recent and alarming incident, a Jewish primary school adjacent to a synagogue in the Côte-des-Neiges – Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough was reportedly the target of four gunshots during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday.

When the police arrived around 6 p.m. Wednesday, they noticed a projectile impact on the Belz school building on Hillsdale Road, near Van Horne Avenue. The police carried out a search operation early in the evening. Fortunately, no one was inside the establishment at the time the shots were fired, so the incident caused no injuries.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante reacted to the event on social media, calling it “unacceptable” that a Jewish school was targeted.

C’est totalement inacceptable qu’une école juive soit à nouveau prise pour cible. L’antisémitisme n’a pas sa place à Montréal.

Le SPVM est sur les lieux pour enquêter et je suis confiante qu’ils trouveront encore une fois la personne coupable. https://t.co/DyqtYvNqSA

In another shocking attack this past Saturday, multiple suspects fired shots at the Bais Chaya Mushka, a Jewish girls’ elementary school in North York, Toronto, early in the morning. The attackers, who fired from a dark-colored vehicle, caused damage to the school’s front, but fortunately, no injuries were reported. The targeted nature of this attack is undeniable, and it has been taken seriously by the Toronto police, who have involved their guns and gangs task force and hate crime unit in the investigation.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford condemned the act on social media, calling it a “gross display of antisemitism” and urging anyone with information to contact the police. Jewish organizations, such as The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, have demanded immediate and decisive action to protect the Jewish community from further violence.

A Disturbing Pattern of Antisemitic Attacks

The attack on the two Jewish schools is part of a broader, troubling pattern of increasing antisemitic violence in Canada, especially since October 7. Here are a few of the other incidents that exemplify the escalation and severity of the situation:

1. Montreal Attacks: Shots were fired at two Jewish schools in Montreal, causing significant fear and concern within the community​​.
2. Vancouver Vandalism: Marcus Stiller, owner of Fish Café in Vancouver, found a swastika on his restaurant wall after he displayed an Israeli flag in his window. The attack escalated to receiving a photo depicting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as a Nazi​.
3. Toronto Threats: The Community Hebrew Academy in Toronto faced threats leading to the arrest of three men.
4. Calls for Jihad against Jews in Victoria: Muslim Younus Kathrada, an Islamic preacher in Victoria, has been spreading antijewish rhetoric, calling for jihad against Jews and celebrating attacks on Israelis. Despite complaints and police investigations, he continues his incitement under the guise of religious expression​.
5. Firebombing in Montreal: Two Jewish institutions in Montreal were targeted with firebombs, causing significant fear and disruption within the community​
6. Montreal Holocaust Museum Event Blockade: On March 4, 2024, pro-Hamas demonstrators violently blocked Jews from attending an event at the Holocaust Museum and the Federation CJA building in Montreal. The mob, chanting “Allahu Akbar” and “Death to Israel, Death to the Jews,” surrounded the building, threatening the safety of Jewish attendees and escalating tensions in the city​.
7. Parliament Hill Incident: On November 12, 2023, Jewish Canadian soldier Raz Hadar was harassed and arrested by Parliamentary security officers while peacefully advocating for peace at a pro-Hamas rally in Ottawa. Hadar, wearing a Yellow Star of David, was targeted by both the crowd and law enforcement, raising serious concerns about freedom of speech and the treatment of Jews in Canada​.
8. Hamas Encampment: At the University of Toronto, a young man, his face concealed by a mask and hood, openly praised Hitler. “Heil Hitler. Heil Hitler. Heil Hitler,” shouted the radical as he gave the Nazi salute.
9. Terror Plot Foiled: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrested a young Muslim male, whose identity is protected due to his age, on charges of plotting a terror attack against the Jewish community.
10. Kristallnacht 2.0: Kehillat Shaarei Torah synagogue in Toronto became the target of an attack for the second time in less than a month. Radicals shattered the synagogue’s windows and doors.

The escalating anti-Jewish violence in Canada demands immediate and decisive action. The recent attacks on children’s schools serve as a reminder of the increasing threats Jewish Canadians endure. The inadequate response from the left-wing government has only encouraged radicals, both on the left and among Islamic supremacists, fostering a climate of escalating violence.
