“Are we in the 1930s in Germany here where people are firebombing and committing acts of arson against people they think are Jewish?”
Yes.
“‘Targeted’: Police investigating hate-motivated arson, graffiti at Jewish-owned deli in North York,” by Hannah Alberga, CTV News, January 3, 2024:
Toronto police are investigating suspected hate-motivated arson and graffiti at a deli in North York on Wednesday.
Staff Superintendent Pauline Gray said officers were called to International Delicatessen Foods (IDF) on Steeles Avenue near Keele Street around 6 a.m.
Gray said the inside of the local business was on fire and “Free Palestine” graffiti was sprayed on the exterior doors when they arrived at the scene.
“We suspect this to be motivated by hate,” Gray told reporters Wednesday night. “Based on the totality of circumstances, we believe that it was committed with bias or prejudice.”
Gray described this incident as a “tipping point” in Toronto, which she said will receive the full weight of the police force’s resources to investigate, arrest and prosecute the person responsible.
“This is not graffiti on a bus shelter. This is not a lawful protest protected by constitutional right. This is a criminal act. It is violent. It is targeted. It is organized,” Gray said.
“We will leave no stone unturned.”…
Deputy Mayor Michael Colle called the incident “disgusting” while speaking with CTV News at the scene.
“It’s targeted because whoever did it might have perceived it to be a Jewish-owned business. And ironically, the place of business is called the International Deli Foods and the monogram in front of the sign says IDF,” Colle said, referring to the coincidental acronym for the Israel Defense Forces.
“You wonder where we are. Are we in the 1930s in Germany here where people are firebombing and committing acts of arson against people they think are Jewish?”…
Toronto police announced last month there have been nearly 100 hate crimes reported since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7, more than double the number observed during the same time period in 2022.
Police classified 56 of the 98 occurrences as antisemitic. Another 20 were categorized as anti-Muslim or anti-Palestinian….

Let’s not jump to conclusions
Mike says
Aren’t many of the anti israel people boycotting and protesting against Starbucks because it used to have a Jewish CEO?
A.T. H. says
Conclusions, no. Rationalizations, yes. There are 5 mosques in the vicinity of that food store. Start by checking them out first. Do any of them have a particularly activist preacher who incites parishioners? They found a gas container on the roof. Check all service stations in the area to see if any recall anyone buying gas in a container. The writing on the door was done by someone young and illiterate. Granted that covers a huge percentage of towel heads and lice beards.

Even if it points to muslims inspired by their “not so holy” book?
abu taleb says
Revealing that the perpetrator was a muslim would be Islamophobia even if it was the truth.
Mike says
Of course! It’s the fault of the Jews for provoking it (according to Islamist reasoning), so the Juice are to blame for the arson as well.
OLD GUY says
This type of criminal activity will continue to grow as long as our criminal justice system is undermined by the left. Until we reach a point where we prosecute and punish individuals for their criminal actions this violence will continue. Or we will have vigilantly style justice handed out by the citizens of the community.
We need to bring back costly penalties for criminal actions and a system that buts prompt justice for the victims. A fair trail is one thing but 20 or 30 years of appeals is ridiculous.

The Nazi’s are alive and thriving. Christal nacht all over again but now in Canada.
Disgusting.

Why are my comments not showing up?

Just wait till the Marxist and Islamist criminals are fully unleashed, for now, they are sublimated by command from their overlords and masters. Yet, still at present, 80% percent of ALL crimes in the West is in their doings. The full fledged proscriptions are coming…
