Demanding Enforcement of Provincial Laws Against Hate-Mongering
"Recent incidents, including mob intimidation and harassment at the Eaton Centre just last week, as well as ongoing intimidating marches through residential neighbourhoods near Bathurst and Sheppard, are completely unacceptable.""When such incidents occur repeatedly and without visible consequences, it substantially undermines public confidence in the rule of law and in the institutions responsible for upholding it.""The responsibility now rests with police leadership to ensure that existing authorities to act are used promptly and decisively when criminal acts of hate and intimidation are taking place.""Strong action is required to prevent further escalation and hold offenders to account.""These incidents have left many residents living in a state of heightened fear and anxiety, concerned about a lack of visible response and feeling unable to move freely and safely in public spaces."Ontario Solicitor General Michael Kerzner"This is into its third year now, of these mobs on the streets of Toronto.""De-escalation has not worked, strategic ambivalence has not worked, constructive engagement has not worked.""So the time has come where you really need to push."Coun. James Pasternak (York Centre)

Finally, one level of provincial authority has responded to the never-ending harassment of Canadians by groups such as those representing Palestinians in Canada or their sympathizers who hold all Jews responsible for the plight of Palestinians in Gaza under fire manipulated by the terrorist government in the Territory for which they voted, Hamas. Palestinian terrorists in the thousands led by Hamas operatives streamed across the border into southern Israel on October 7, 2023, for the express purpose of mounting a mass atrocity. They succeeded with their goal to an excruciating extent, raping, torturing, looting, murdering in jubilation at their courageous enterprise against a civilian population.
These are the barbaric monsters that Palestinians hail as 'liberators' battling an 'occupation', which they define as the existence of the State of Israel on its own ancestral land which Palestinians insist is theirs and theirs alone. Arabs from Syria and Egypt who had migrated to the parcel of land named by Roman occupiers as 'Palestine', to expunge its true name of Judea (and Samaria) claim that the Jewish presence is that of an occupying force, when it is in fact those Arabs which have coopted the name of 'Palestinians' as their identity which comprise the true 'occupiers' of land not their own.

For well over two years, Muslims who have immigrated, migrated, and been accepted through refugee programs into Canada in the past two decades now constitute a considerable number in Canada, five times greater than the Jewish presence which dates back over a hundred years. That presence has been weaponized against the .9 percent of the Canadian population that is Jewish by the 4.9 percent of the Canadian population now Muslim. Canadian multiculturalism was not meant to pit one ethnic/religious/cultural/historical group against another, but to celebrate a mix of backgrounds living amenably among themselves. The presence of Muslims has changed that to an extent never anticipated.
Weekly demonstrations of hordes of anti-Israel, pro-Hamas/Palestinian supporters have blocked city streets in Canada, disrupted public events, disturbed the civil ambience of a civilized society, preyed on an ethnic minority unceasingly, interrupted municipal meetings and federal conferences, intruded into private property, taunted and threatened Canadian Jews, boycotted and slandered Jewish businesses, vandalized synagogues, conducted mass public prayers while closing off ingress and egress, disturbed the public peace, and no government at any level has intervened, much less police forces.
Finally, Ontario's solicitor-general has spoken, instructing the Toronto Police Service to step up enforcement of "hate, intimidation and harassment-motivated offences". A letter was forwarded by the solicitor general's office to Chief Myron Dimkew of the Toronto Police, a copy to the chair of the civilian oversight board, instructing them that remedial action must be taken. Evidently spurred by the Boxing Day anti-Israel protest mob occupying Toronto's downtown shopping centre.
The constant harassment of the Jewish community located around Bathurst and Sheppard where a large percentage of the city's Jewish community call their home, should have been enough to have elicited a rebuke to the police for their inaction in the face of ongoing events to shatter the peace of a community. Michael Kerzner is the MPP for York Centre riding, and is himself the highest ranking Jewish member of the government led by Premier Doug Ford.
He reminded the police force that the provincial government has equipped, trained and empowered Toronto police to respond to these and other such incidents to enforce provincial laws, broken with stunning regularity by such marches bombarding the air with shouts to 'globalize the Intifada', and urging 'Final Solution', along with 'Palestine will be free from the river to the sea'.
His intervention is not the only one recently undertaken by a concerned civic authority. Chief Demkiw and Mayor Olivia chow had received correspondence of a similar vein a month earlier, from York Centre Conservative Member of Provincial Parliament Roman Barber.
