“Hate persists when apathy prevails,” reads a new report on hate crimes by a federal government ombudsman who is supposed to be the “voice of the victim.”
Hate also persists if you just ignore it. For example, the report by the victims’ ombudsman specifically does not mention any attacks on Jews, Jewish institutions, or the alarming number of antisemitic protests in this country.
The Office of the Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime reports that there was a 32 per cent increase in 2023 in the number of hate crimes reported to police but ignores the fact that attacks on Jews increased 71 per cent that year.
It’s not as if attacks on Jews were quiet, trivial, local affairs that didn’t attract any attention.

Toronto mosques struck by Islamophobic vandalism six times in three months
Political and faith leaders are speaking out against what they say appears to be a pattern of hate-fueled crimes at two downtown Toronto mosques.
CBC News report
As of January 2024, CBC News reported 24 arsons and five suspected arsons at Christian churches in Canada. Nine of the arsons resulted in arrests, and 12 people were charged in relation to the arsons.
2 is 100% more than 1.
You know you’re probably not doing your best as a leader to stem an ever-growing wave of hate in your country when another leader has to personally phone you up to tell you so. That’s what happened Thursday after a repeated attack on Beth Tikvah synagogue in Montreal. That’s the message that was delivered.
No doubt frustrated and exasperated to be watching the relentless attacks on synagogues and intimidation in Canadian Jewish neighbourhoods from afar, the President of the State of Israel, Isaac Herzog, took to social media platform X on Thursday to let everyone know about the conversation he had with our often mealy-mouthed-in-the-face-of-antisemitism Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

(Herzog’s tweet was in response to a second firebombing on Beth Tikvah synagogue in Montreal early Wednesday morning. The first firebombing attack was in November of 2023.)

Canada’s special representative on combatting Islamophobia is blaming a terror attack on a Christmas market in Germany that killed five, including a nine-year-old boy, on “Islamophobia” and “anti-Muslim rhetoric.”
The attack perpetrated by a Saudi Arabian refugee who drove a vehicle at full speed into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, left 200 injured; 41 of those are in “serious condition” with lives endangered, according to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Amira Elghawaby, a Trudeau appointee tasked with taking on Islamophobia in Canada, said anti-Muslim bigotry is the culprit.
“Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones and those who have been injured in a senseless attack on a Christmas market that demonstrates the devastating impact anti-Muslim rhetoric, hatred, and Islamophobia can have on our societies,” Elghawaby said in a social media post.
Local media have identified the alleged terrorist as Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian refugee who has been living in Germany since 2006.
Abdulmohsen has been arrested and charged with several counts of murder, among other charges.
A scan through the alleged terrorist’s social media shows that he’s criticized Islam since applying for asylum in Germany.
A video circulating online of Abdulmohsen’s arrest shows a man yelling “Allahu Akbar,” a term used frequently by Muslims which means “God is the greatest.” It’s unclear if the man being arrested in the video is the one who yells the Islamic refrain, however.
According to one Saudi Arabian political commentator, Abdulmohsen had fled Saudi Arabia in 2006 after being accused of rape and implicated in “serious crimes.” Saudi Arabia had requested his extradition, but Germany rejected the request, citing human rights concerns.
Abdulmohsen publicly declared himself as an ex-Muslim fleeing Islam and the Saudi regime, criticizing Germany for rejecting Saudi Arabian refugee claims while also accusing Germany of importing Islam into the country.
According to reports, Abdulmohsen had repeatedly made explicit threats against Germany, accusing it of conspiring against Saudi refugees, though he was determined not to be a risk. He claimed German police had failed him and other refugees as a justification for the threats.
“I will make the German nation pay the price of the crimes committed by its government against Saudi refugees,” one threat said.
Abdulmohsen is a self-proclaimed Saudi activist who purported to help asylum seekers, primarily from Saudi Arabia, seek asylum. According to Saudi sources, Germany was repeatedly warned about the man and potential attacks.
The attack comes eight years after an Islamic terror attack, perpetrated by a Pakistani asylum seeker who had his asylum claim rejected, rammed a truck into a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 13.
German authorities have said the date wasn’t a coincidence but fell short of calling the incident “an Islamist” attack.

They probably wouldn't give him a driving license.
Perhaps he’s a criminal that fled from Saudi Arabia? I really don’t know & am just speculating.
Yesterday, as shoppers were returning unwanted presents, revelling in Boxing Day sales and enjoying the Christmas tree light show at the Toronto Eaton Centre, a group of anti-Israel protesters disrupted the joyful experience by harassing bargain-hunters and unfurling a large banner with a crude likeness of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the words “arrest this criminal” emblazoned in red. Like the twisted image of Netanyahu, and the chants that filled the mall, nothing these protesters say or do is to be trusted.
It was 4 p.m. when the large blue and white Eaton Centre Christmas tree started to play music, lighting up for shoppers and their families to enjoy. That enjoyment was quickly drowned out by an increasingly aggressive chant of “free, free Palestine.” But free them from what? Not Hamas, apparently, who many claim Palestinians are simply a victim of, yet whose recently deceased leader has been championed in Canadian streets.
Popular anti-Israel greatest hits ensued, including: “from the river to the sea,” “while you’re shopping, bombs are dropping,” and “there is a genocide happening with our tax dollars.”
(Well then. While spreading these lies, protesters rely on the fact that many Canadians aren’t particularly well-informed about Israel’s many attempts to achieve a two-state solution, Palestinians’ history of bloody rebukes and the Hamas mission statement which, spoiler alert, doesn’t include Jews. Hence, the “from the river to the sea” jingle)

But why were Canadians subjected to this at the Eaton Centre, a downtown Toronto landmark, in the first place? It’s one thing if anti-Israeli protesters demonstrate in the streets. But this was private property. Security personnel kept the protesters under close observation but made no attempt to stop or evict them. I reached out to the mall’s general manager for comment, but did not receive a response by publication time.
Interestingly, Cadillac Fairview, which is owned by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, shut down its Ottawa mall, the CF Rideau Centre, within hours of the start of the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests by truckers. Curious.
