Toronto Police's Hate Crime Unit Investigates Anti-Jewish Rant at Bathurst and Sheppard 

A Toronto Police Hate Crime Unit investigation is underway following a joint statement released by CIJA, B'nai Brith Canada, and Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center posted on X, which called out the hateful remarks and the nearly three years of, "antisemitic harassment, intimidation, and provocation [at Bathurst and Sheppard]." 

This past weekend, an individual with a megaphone in hand repeated anti-Jewish blood libels that have been used for centuries to justify hatred and violence against Jewish people. As the joint statement went on to say, "allowing this behaviour to go unchecked is to normalize antisemitism as an everyday feature of life in this city."
