FSWC is alarmed that a predominantly Jewish residence building in the North York area of Toronto has been the target of antisemitism. Jewish tenants are being victimized by an aggressive assailant who is removing "mezuzas" from their doorways and leaving defamatory post it notes on their doors. Many of the residents are elderly and some are suspected to be either Holocaust survivors or children of survivors. The police is investigating - however, FSWC continues to encourage Ontario's Attorney General to allow for hate crimes charges once the offender has been identified.
