(Jewish Group) Jews Are The Most Targeted Minority Group In Canada, Study Shows

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

For the third straight year, Canadian Jews in 2018 remained the most targeted minority group for police-reported hate-crimes throughout the country.

The data was released on Monday by Statistics Canada.

But the good news is that incidents dropped by four percent from 360 in 2017 to 345 in 2018, while other minorities saw more significant declines.

Hate crimes against Muslims, for example, fell 50 per cent to 173, while Black Canadians saw a 15 percent drop to 283 reported hate crimes.

Antisocial people, it validates their ugliness as normal.

Canada is rife with antisemitism. Jews in the Montreal suburb of Outremont have been harassed for DECADES. They are largely chassidim (Bobov, Vizhnitz, Belz, Lubavitch, and I think Satmar) therefore VERY visibly Jewish.

The GTA is the GTA.

Vancouver has a small Jewish population and an even smaller Orthodox/visible Jewish population. Most are too afraid too "act or look" Jewish.

I’ve been moved out to live with my son in very rural NM. (We go to shul once a month in El Paso.)

Today I went to Home Depot at Alamogordo with my daughter in law and her son (my grandson, our driver).

My grandson speaks fluent Spanish.

A very young Mexican National (not to be confused with a native New Mexican). Asked his mom what we are. The translation was “ They are righteous men, like Moshe”. She brought them over for a blessing. We explained we were not worthy to give him our blessing, but she insisted.

So we did. Right there in Home Depot.

I was deeply humbled.

I like the country.
