🇨🇦 Toronto's 12th Antisemitic Shooting and the Political Class Still Reaches for Press Releases

At 1:30 a.m. on Friday, a man crossed Avenue Road in broad darkness and fired repeatedly into a Jewish-owned Toronto restaurant — the 12th such incident in the current wave, as Israel's ambassador Iddo Moed confirmed publicly, calling on Mark Carney, Doug Ford, and Olivia Chow to act before it is too late. Three synagogues. Two restaurant locations. Armed police command posts outside Jewish institutions during Passover. This is not a spike — it is a sustained campaign.

Israel's president held a virtual emergency meeting with Toronto's Jewish community back in March. The city's response has been task forces, reassurance videos, and statements of concern. Moed is right that statements are no longer sufficient. What is not being said loudly enough is that this escalation did not emerge from a vacuum — it emerged from years of importing ideological grievances wholesale through mass immigration while calling anyone who noticed a bigot. The political class built the environment. Now they are surprised by the weather.
