In this Toronto Sun column, Warren Kinsella connects the Yom Kippur attack on Belleville’s Sons of Jacob Synagogue to a broader escalation of antisemitism across Canada. He recounts threats, boycotts and intimidation directed at his partner and local businesses, then describes how two police officers intervened when an armed attacker targeted worshippers, leaving Const. Jeff Smith grievously wounded. Kinsella places the violence within Canada’s longer history of organized hatred and argues that recent firebombings, shootings, assaults and threats have been enabled by political passivity, institutional double standards, hostile activism, selective media coverage and the refusal of bystanders to confront what is happening.
