examples of

antisemitism

in our city

The hateful Your Ward News, delivered to hundreds of thousands of Toronto homes as a free “newspaper, “ promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories and accuses “Marxist Jews” of mass murder

The annual Al Quds Day rally in downtown Toronto, where a presenter once called for the shooting of Israelis, features a public prayer for “the eradication of… the Israelis and Zionists.”

Neo-Nazi posters plastered in mid-town Toronto, including on the gates of a school, promote Nazi social media pages and declare “the Nazi youth are here.”
