In a rare move, the Israeli government has released a detailed report singling out Canada as a hotbed of antisemitism since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel.

Published by the Israeli Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism on Monday, the paper raises the alarm about a record-breaking level of Canadian antisemitism. Since the October 7 terrorist attacks, the report notes, antisemitism in Canada has increased by 670 per cent, with the targeting of Jewish places of worship, community centres and day schools. On Saturday morning, the Bais Chaya Mushka Elementary School, a Toronto Jewish girls’ day school, was shot at for the second time.
