The Western Standard reports:

In 2023, Jews were the most frequently targeted group in police-reported hate crimes across Canada, despite making up less than one percent of the population, according to Statistics Canada.

[T]he agency reported that anti-Semitism led all other hate crime categories last year.

Jews were identified as the leading target in 900 separate hate crimes, surpassing sexual minority Canadians (860 reported crimes), blacks (784), Arab Canadians (265), indigenous Canadians (262), Muslims (211), and Catholics (49).

With Jews numbering 335,000 out of Canada’s 40 million people (less than 0.9 percent), the disproportionate targeting is stark. In contrast, Muslims number 1.8 million in Canada.


Here is a chart of anti-Jewish vs. anti-Muslim hate crimes since 2014, according to Statistics Canada data.


Anti-Jewish hate crimes have more than quadrupled since 2014 with the biggest spike in 2023 - but the numbers had been growing alarmingly even before last year.

This year, it will undoubtedly be worse. Already in 2024 there have been multiple attacks on Jewish schools and synagogues. In May, Belz Yeshiva Ketana at the Young Israel of Montreal synagogue was hit with gunfire. The week before, two masked men jumped out of a vehicle and fired shots at the Bais Chaya Mushka school in Toronto. 

In Montreal, there were more anti-Jewish hate crimes in the single month from October 7 to November 7 than the total number of hate crimes of all types in all of 2022. 

The latest hate crimes report from the Toronto Police, from 2022, showed a steady increase in antisemitic hate crimes over the previous years, outpacing all other categories. And that has only increased since then. 



The number increased from 63 to 135 in 2023 At the end of May, Toronto police reported that nearly half of all hate crimes reported so far in 2024 were antisemitic crimes. At that pace, the number of antisemitic hate crimes this year would hit over 210.

But don't worry: the Toronto District School Board is on top of things. In their latest report, they describe what they are doing to combat antisemitism. They are very happy to emphasize the Holocaust , but they do not mention the word "Israel" or "Israelis" or "Zionism" once, completely denying any connection between the surge of antisemitism and the unhinged hate of Israel.

They do, however, highlight "Palestinians."

The TDSB introduced  a new category of bias to teach students about: Anti-Palestinian Racism.  This is in addition to their existing initiatives on Islamophobia


So while Jews are being attacked, the school district is doing more to protect Palestinian-identifying learners than the Zionist Jews that are being demonized on the streets of every major Canadian city, every day. 

Maybe, just maybe, there is a relationship between the pro-Palestinian policies of Canadian institutions and the huge increase of antisemitism in Canada. Perhaps some academic scholars will spend a couple of years to look at it and then pretend to debunk it, because they don't want to admit what it glaringly obvious to anyone who isn't already infected with  antisemitism.
