Police are banning pro-Palestinine protesters from residential streets in this Toronto neighbourhood

A police spokesperson said barring Palestinian activists from residential streets in York Centre was a “targeted response to specific safety concerns,” but demonstrators say it violates their rights.

Police are banning pro-Palestinian activists from demonstrating in residential parts of a North Toronto Jewish community, a decision that’s drawing praise from the local councillor, but pushback from protesters who say it violates their rights.

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) confirmed to the Star on Monday that it is ordering protesters not to picket on residential streets near the intersection of Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue, the site of regular demonstrations and counter-demonstrations since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the country’s ensuing assault on Gaza.

Exhibition showing ‘Jews’ eating babies not abusive or insulting, police claim

Drawings at an “anti-Semitic” art exhibition allegedly showing Jewish people eating babies are not “directly abusive or insulting” to Jews, a police force has decided.

Kent Police has ruled that art in the exhibition condemned by leading Jewish figures and politicians for portraying anti-Semitic tropes has not reached the threshold to be considered either a hate crime or a non-crime hate incident.

Labour council promotes exhibition showing ‘Jews’ eating babies

An “anti-Semitic” art exhibition with drawings allegedly showing Jewish people eating babies was seemingly promoted by a Labour council.

The Drawings Against Genocide exhibition at an independent gallery in Margate, Kent, features hundreds of crudely-drawn pictures that critics claim contain anti-Semitic tropes.

It is the work of Matthew Collings, 70, formerly one of the country’s leading art critics, who said the art was “about raising consciousness about hell” and that “Israel is the pure encapsulation of it” through its actions in Gaza.

As mayor of Vaughan, I’m urging Mark Carney to meet our Jewish community

I have an urgent request for Prime Minister Mark Carney: please come to Vaughan, Ont., to meet with our Jewish community.

As Vaughan’s mayor, I want you to know that Jews here feel angry, scared, defiant, tired, shocked and beleaguered. Who can blame them? I’ve lived my entire life in this country, but I have never before witnessed the shocking levels of antisemitism and Jew hatred we now see so regularly. I never imagined I would. Not here. Not in Canada.


Del Duca is lying.

He supported the Liberal Party and that means he supported their immigration policy that opened the floodgates to incompatible cultures like Islam.

I have no doubt he would smear anyone who opposed the death cult as an Islamophobe and a racist.

I hate that these pols are trying to wash their hands of responsibility.

Attack against Canadian Jewish community a ‘realistic possibility,’ federal report warns

A violent extremist attack against Canada’s Jewish community is a “realistic possibility” in the next six months, the federal Integrated Threat Assessment Centre warns in a report obtained by The Globe and Mail.

ITAC, which is a specialized organization in the Canadian intelligence community, also said it is unlikely that “Iranian lethal operations” in Canada would target Jewish public officials, such as MPs and cabinet ministers who support Israel. ITAC shared the report with the federal government and often shares such information with people or organizations that could be affected.


Don’t worry folks the threat has ended, the CBC found a couple more Nazis

Apparently Muslims love Jews and would never attack them according to the CBC.

Antisemitism has reached alarming levels. Now what?

Yes, this is another column about antisemitism. If you’re wondering, why are they on about this again, have a peek at the news. If you’re grumbling – enough already! – maybe there’s a different question you should ask yourself.

Antisemitism is infecting daily life – violently and openly. But also more quietly, even silently. Each act, from microaggression to murder, fuses to create an atmosphere of normalcy for this hatred. And for the hated? Fear.


Keep pretending Islam can be reasoned with, that it can be integrated and before you know it Canada will be just like the UK or the Great White Banlieue! Nothing ever gets better with Islam.

Guardian amends ‘antisemitic’ opinion piece about Gail’s bakery

The Guardian has amended an opinion piece about Gail’s bakery after it caused controversy among readers, Jewish staff and the boss of the high street chain.

The article was edited on Tuesday evening to clarify a reference to the opening of a branch as “an act of heavy-handed high street aggression”.

Published on Saturday under the headline “A corner of north London where food has become a battleground in the Israel-Gaza war”, the article by Jonathan Liew prompted accusations of antisemitism against the Jewish-heritage business.

UK: Muslim hate crimes twice as likely to be prosecuted as those against Jews

Hate crimes against Muslims are almost twice as likely to result in prosecution than those against Jews, figures have revealed for the first time.

The rate of the offences targeting Muslims that resulted in a charge or summons was 6.7 per cent in the year to March 2025, equivalent to one in 15 offences recorded by the police.

However, just 3.8 per cent of anti-Jewish hate crimes led to a charge or summons in the same 12-month period, which was one in 26.

Blast at Amsterdam Jewish school ‘a deliberate attack’, says mayor

An explosion at an orthodox Jewish school in Amsterdam on Saturday was “a deliberate attack against the Jewish community” and a “cowardly act of aggression”, the city’s mayor said.

The overnight attack on a school in Buitenveldert, an upmarket district in the south of Amsterdam with many Jewish businesses and synagogues, damaged an external wall of the building. There were no injuries.

Aviva Klompas: Olivia Chow has herself to blame for antisemitic violence

Last week, gunfire struck three synagogues in the Greater Toronto Area. We have grown accustomed to the response: hollow expressions of sympathy, feeble condemnations and the familiar promise that the city stands with the Jewish community.

But what is unfolding in Toronto is not an abstract rise in hateful rhetoric. It is the steady normalization of violence against Jews, and the city’s leadership appears determined to ignore the reality that we are at risk of a mass-casualty attack targeting the Jewish community.

The rot runs deep. Chow is just one public symptom.

Canada is ‘one of the centres of antisemitism, globally,’ says Israeli ambassador, on tour of targeted synagogue

The Israeli ambassador to Canada called the country “one of the centres of antisemitism globally” during a visit to a Thornhill, Ont., synagogue that was shot at last week.

While Ambassador Iddo Moed noticed “a rising trend in antisemitism” following his arrival in Canada in August 2023, it was after the October 7 terror attacks on Israel that a “dramatic spike” occurred, he said.

Charges are being dropped against Canadian anti-Israel thuggery at an astonishing rate

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s statement on Saturday, in response to yet more gunfire aimed at Canadian synagogues — this time in Toronto and Thornhill, just north of the city — was notable for one reason: It did not aver that “there is no place in Canada” for what had happened, or use any similar verbiage. It was a tiny mercy in a very unnerving time. At this point, the phrase has transcended cliché and entered the realm of the offensively meaningless. Yet somehow politicians’ communication advisers still keep churning it out.


Nothing is being done because the elites who created this mess would have to implicate themselves.

Once they find a way to blame it on the proles well look out!

And believe me their trying …

Larry Maher: Canadian Jews are angry. It’s a start

We have been painted as ‘white oppressors’ with our own history of persecution erased

” …The need to constantly define and negotiate with others about racism, religious hatred, and cultural intolerance demonstrates how lost society has become. The Jewish community believed that if we spoke in the language of progressives and their ideology of DEI, we would be accepted as a minority that deserves a spot at the table. Instead, we have been painted as “white oppressors” with our own history of persecution erased.”


He doesn’t condemn the racist foundation of DEI and call for it to be dismantled. Instead he expresses disappointment that Jews were painted as White oppressors under DEI despite efforts to be accepted as official members of the racist club that claims the right to perpetually condemn White people as evil just for the colour of their skin.

Doesn’t that imply he’s fine with DEI’s ongoing hatred of White people and would be doubly so had only his team won a seat at the table?

That’s some blind spot … at the table.
