“Expressions of concern must now be accompanied by decisive action,” said Israel’s consul-general in Toronto
Israel’s consul-general in Toronto on Saturday urged the Canadian government to take “decisive action” after two Canadian synagogues were attacked within 24 hours.
The assaults on Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom in Montreal and Congregation Mishkan Avraham in Toronto came “only days after Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly acknowledged that Canada is facing a severe antisemitism crisis and that Jewish Canadians are being disproportionately targeted,” Consul-General Idit Shamir wrote on X.
“These recent attacks demonstrate precisely why expressions of concern must now be accompanied by decisive action,” she added.
