Israel's Diaspora minister said statistics show "a systemic failure to deter anti-semitic violence" on the part of Canada's government
Amichai Chikli, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, said on Tuesday that the shots fired at a Toronto synagogue the night before were part of a pattern of incidents against the Jewish community of Canada.
Only last month, Chikli noted, he had sent an urgent letter to Canada’s Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree, revealing that Canada’s government itself had warned that “the scale and severity of the incidents in Canada were clear warning signs before a disaster.”
Nevertheless, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney “continues to turn a blind eye to rampant antisemitism in the country,” Chikli said.
