The knock against the Toronto Police Service over the past 19 months is that they have engaged in two-tier policing. Specifically, when it comes to policing protests that are pro-Palestinian, in many cases outright pro-Hamas, that TPS takes a hands-off approach – that is when they aren’t delivering them coffee and donuts.

Granting one side exclusive rights to present their narrative as the only truth is a not policing it is the handiwork of those who use the police as private mercenaries to silence dissent.

Warning: It will be exhausting reading this.

As a Jew, I not only worry about the hate in Canada, where I live, I worry about Israel, the Jewish homeland. How many Polish people living outside Poland worry about Poland; or Germans worry about Germany, or British worry about Britain-oh wait-they should be worried about Britain.

I just finished my 74th year. I am exhausted. Not from my age. From being Jewish.

The fight for the right to be Jewish and left alone never ends. Here is the latest missive from Muslims.

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.

As the Gaza war nears its 20th month, pressure is building on Hamas from different fronts—not least of which is the growing anger among ordinary Palestinians who have had enough of the hunger, sleeplessness and the ever-present threat of airstrikes from Israeli forces.

Israel says it has started to expand its military offensive in the Gaza Strip, potentially displacing more Palestinians and occupying territory. The specter of starvation is growing from two months of Israel blocking humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave after a fragile cease-fire broke down. A U.S.-backed aid distribution is being planned, which Israel says would prevent Hamas profiting from seizures of food and fuel deliveries to civilians. An Israeli airstrike this week targeted Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas’ top leader in Gaza, which if proven to be successful would be a big blow to the militant group.

But few expected Hamas to be wrestling with the most visible internal challenge to its authority since it seized control of the Gaza strip in 2007: the people it professes to represent.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering a plan to move one million Palestinians from Gaza — roughly half the current population — to Libya and resettle them there.

Poor Libya!
