"Blacklock's Reporter says Mohammed Hashim, CEO of the taxpayer-funded #Canadian #RaceRelations Foundation, told the #Senate #humanrights committee that criminals targeting #Jewish institutions are deliberately sending a message meant to intimidate the community.
“All these incidents across the country are to send a message, that #Jews cannot be safe here,” he said.
Hashim said Jewish #schools and #synagogues have been hit repeatedly.
#Toronto’s Kehillat Shaarei #Torah #Synagogue, he noted, has been #vandalized 10 times despite cameras, reinforced windows and fencing.
A Toronto day school, Bais Chaya Mushka, was shot at on three separate occasions.
“To every Jewish Canadian who feels unsafe or alone, who fears they need to be hidden, I want to say #Canada will always be a place of safety for you,” Hashim told senators.
Sen. Marilou McPhedran pressed him on how he could make such a promise.
“Hope,” he replied. “No one knows what the future is going to hold.” 😂
