(National Post) Since the October 7 terror attacks in Israel, Canadian police have thwarted six alleged terror plots across the country, with arrests spanning from Edmonton to Ottawa to Toronto. Some of these plots reportedly targeted the Jewish community, reflecting rising concerns over the safety of Jewish Canadians.
Since the outbreak of war in Gaza, following the Hamas massacre of more than 1,200 people in Israel and the taking of hostages, massive anti-Israel protests have erupted worldwide, including in Canada. Some of these protests have featured pro-Hamas slogans, one of the terrorist organizations responsible for the October 7 attack. This has heightened fears within Jewish communities, as some protests have directly targeted Jewish institutions, such as synagogues.
Canada, long known for its liberal values and commitment to multiculturalism, is now grappling with the complex challenges posed by these threats.
