Councillor Pasternak Condemns an antisemitic attack at Dufferin and Wilson

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TORONTO, ON – Councillor James Pasternak condemns an antisemitic attack at Dufferin and Wilson and thanks police for their work in apprehending the suspect.

“I condemn in the strongest terms possible the unprovoked hate-motivated attack on a Jewish senior in North York which took place last week. It is deplorable that a young man would physically and verbally assault a defenceless person for any reason. This incident, unfortunately, shows that antisemitism exists in Toronto, and more work needs to be done to make sure that hate of any kind is met by the full force of our anti hate laws.”, says Councillor Pasternak.
