Toronto: Hate crimes up 28% in 2017, Jews, not Muslims, are again the most targeted group

56

I doubt that these statistics are correct. Many hate crimes against Jews are not even reported, and many hate crimes against Muslims have turned out to have been faked by Muslims themselves. Yet all the hate crimes against Muslims receive international headlines, while the hate crimes against Jews are ignored.

And even taking these statistics at face value, they show that despite all the media and government hysteria about “islamophobia,” hate crimes against Jews are still far more common than hate crimes against Muslims. Where is the Trudeau government’s “Anti Jew-Hatred” Motion? Why the sole focus on Muslims?

Also, why are hate crimes against Jews increasing? Obviously because of Canada’s rapidly increasing number of Muslims. But all we will continue to hear about is “islamophobia.”

“LEVY: Toronto hate crimes up 28% in 2017,” by Sue-Ann Levy, Toronto Sun, April 18, 2018 (thanks to Mark):

…Hate crimes were up 28% in Toronto in 2017 with 186 reported occurrences compared to the year before — the highest number of incidents in the past 15 years.The most targeted group yet again?

According to the annual Toronto Police Service Hate Crime report, it was the Jewish community with 53 incidents or 28% of all hate crimes reported — mostly involving mischief to property such as vandalism or graffiti.

Those 53 incidents represent a disturbing 23% increase over the previous year.

Occurrences directed at Toronto’s black and Muslim communities were tied at 33 each — which each represented 18% of all groups victimized by hate occurrences. Incidents against both of these communities also increased from 22 each in 2016.

The LGBTQ community was subjected to 22 occurrences in 2017, the report also notes.

While the general increase is troubling, one has to remember that the Jewish community represents only 3.8% of the religious population in Toronto — while being targeted with 28% of the hate crimes.

That compares to the Muslim community which is 8.2% of Toronto’s religious population and the black community which represents nearly 9% of the city’s visible minorities….

B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn said Wednesday that while the report is concerning, this “sadly” is nothing new for the Jewish community.

“For years Jews have remained Toronto’s single most targeted group for hate crimes, despite our very small numbers,” he said….

Canada has a little boy MORON ruling them that is upset EVERYONE may have seen his mother’s naked bits. The boy ANGRY, vows to destroy WHITE Canada by bringing in your enemies by the truckloads – to KILL YOU ALL.

That is the ONLY way the boy MORON will feel smug that those may have saw his mother’s naked bits – IS DEAD.

Yeah, weird. But Canada is run by Frenchmen. And we all know what happened to them in WW II.

President Obama only cared for the richest 1%. That’s why he offshored so many technology jobs to India; saved Bill Gates a lot of money: in India he could hire three programmers for the price of one in USA. Toronto is a part of the Islamic Republic of Canadastan, ruled by the unholy trinity of terror: Premier Kathleen Wynne, Metrolinx I&IT (Indian and Islamic Technology), and Prime Moron Jihad Trudope. So I’m not surprised bigotry against Jews is so high.

Very true, Suresh, whether it is Islam the Cult, the pro-Palestinian Front, Canadian leaders from all forms of government kowtow to the Islamist scourge. Anti-Semitism although more prevalent gets little coverage as opposed to any so-called Islamophobic so-called crime. Fake Islamophobic crimes are prevalent but are treated as if they are factual.

The pro-Islam PM, Trudeau is not shy about his veneration of Islam. Not unlike here, the universities, colleges and lower schools are permeated with pro-Islam educators. To be a Jew at any level of education as a student is ripe for Jew-Hatred; sanctified by the schools overlords but denied. Progressivism is shoved down the students throats, there is no intellectual integrity.

The same can be said here in America; indeed, Trump is the Gatekeeper but unfortunately there are those who, also, have keys rightly or not. There are those, too, the FBI, the Dems, the RINOS and a myriad of others bent on the downfall of our Gatekeeper, Trump. If or when these traitors usurp Trump or regain power by nefarious means, America will be no different from Canada or the EU.

Hopefully, I am dead wrong; that said, I have little faith in our Governments whether it is the Fed, State or Municipal overlords. Thus far we have been fortunate, let’s hope, pray it lasts.

When I went to school in California, I was forced to learn Spanish in grade school. I hated it, so I only remember a few words. I also had to learn German when my stepfather was stationed there. I’m not fluent, but I get by. I was in Japan for a few years, so learned Japanese. Yeah, remember about a dozen or so words. Also a few words of Dutch, Italian, French and a couple I can’t remember what they are. The only language I speak fluently is English – and the English, Australians, Welsh, Scots and Irish complain I don’t speak their language.

Oh, well!

Very right young lady! I stopped counting after I reached 69 some years (or is it decades?) ago! That way, my wife and I can joke about our age being very fun.

Youth is just a lack of numbers. Age is just a totaling up of numbers, and in my case, I forgot to total anything after “69” – I just think it is just a popular number. Not saying anything else about it, but why count higher? Well, when I hit 100, I’ll say that I’m just starting over at “00”.

You aint kidding about the moon god bit. http://www.bible.ca/islam/islam-allah-pre-islamic-origin.htm Allah “the god ” (capo di tutti capi ) of the pagan pantheon, father of 3 daughters, one of them Venus, to whom child sacrifices were made. Hamas are true followers. Or as Francis states, exactly the same as the God of Christians.

Its upto canadians to get rid of pro-jihadi PM.

Trump was conned by Abbas initially but when he found out the truth boy was he mad as hell at the jihadi http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ

That’s when he decided enough is enough and that inspite of huge opposition led to shifting of Embassy to Jerusalem and No more funding to the jihadis.
