We released the Canadian Handbook on the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism.
I advocated for this since I came into office as a key part of serving our community.
I’m so proud of this work & all who contributed to it. It takes all of us to combat antisemitism & fight hate.
Samidoun must be listed as a terrorist organization. I have been working on this file for a year and pushing on it almost every day. After its words and actions over the last few days getting this done expeditiously is a necessity & I won’t rest until our government does it.
One of my biggest priorities is getting Samidoun listed as a terrorist entity. Its words and actions over the last couple of days just give added evidence to our security services & then cabinet that this needs to be done & I follow up on this on a daily basis.
The pro terror mob is now burning a Canadians flag in the streets of Vancouver after a year of lawlessness and escalation everyday with no consequences.
Is everyone awake yet? 🇨🇦
Antisemitism & all forms of hate have no place in 🇨🇦.
With the new Canada Community Security Program, we’re sharpening security programs at schools, community centres & places of worship.
This is about empowering people, offering support & building an inclusive future for all.
Israel’s Peter Paltchik breaking down with coach Oren Smadja after winning bronze in Judo just now.
Smadja lost his son Omer in Gaza just a month ago. An entire country is crying with them. #Olympics 🇮🇱 🥋
Deeply concerning to see that signs in front of Kehillat Shaarei Torah Synagogue were set on fire. This #northyork synagogue has been targeted with acts of vandalism multiple times this year. This pattern of hate must be addressed and condemned. #TOpoli
What a loathsome spectacle it is to see a fringe group of anti-Zionist Jews protesting outside Pride of Israel Synagogue in Toronto tonight, attempting (and failing) to block access to a crowd of over a thousand Jews and our allies, who have gathered to stand in solidarity against antisemitism in our city. We stand strong and united as a community now and always!
Our city, our community and Canada must be a place where everyone belongs.
Targeting Jewish places of worship, schools and neighbours must be condemned and rejected.
Those responsible must be identified and held to account.
Antisemitism cannot and will not be tolerated.
The recent acts of arson and vandalism directed against Toronto’s Jewish community are deeply disturbing and unacceptable. I’m pleased to see the Toronto Police Service is taking these acts seriously and is working to identify the people responsible.
Let’s come together in support of our Jewish friends and neighbours as we stand against anti-semitism and hate.
