Jews Attacked By Anti-Semitic Mob in Toronto Canada. Multiple Arrests Made

On November 5, 2025, a disturbing incident unfolded in Toronto, where a private event featuring Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) veterans was violently disrupted by masked anti-Israel protesters.

The attack, which left several attendees injured, including lacerations from broken glass, has reignited concerns about the rising tide of antisemitism in Canada and beyond.

The event, organized by Students Supporting Israel (SSI) at Toronto Metropolitan University, was intended to host a lecture by IDF veterans. However, the gathering was abruptly invaded by a group of protesters who shattered a glass door to gain entry, leading to chaos and physical altercations.

Video footage shared by Israeli tech influencer and Zionist advocate Hillel Fuld captures the moment of the intrusion, showing the protesters' aggressive actions and the subsequent injuries sustained by attendees.

One particularly harrowing image from the video reveals a close-up of an attendee's arm, marred by deep cuts and bleeding, a stark reminder of the violence that erupted. The Toronto Police Service confirmed multiple arrests following the incident and is currently investigating the event as part of a broader pattern of hate-motivated attacks targeting the Jewish community.

Since October 2023, Toronto police have investigated over 20 such incidents, with a notable spike in antisemitic activities. This includes the vandalism of synagogues, with Kehillat Shaarei Torah reporting its tenth attack since April 2024 alone.

The persistence of these attacks highlights a troubling trend of increasing hostility towards Jewish communities in Canada.Hillel Fuld, known for his advocacy for Israel and promotion of aliyah (immigration to Israel), used the incident to underscore the dangers faced by Jews in the diaspora.

"I genuinely don't understand how Jews are staying put in Canada. Or NYC. Or Australia. Or South Africa. Or the UK. Please come home, people," Fuld wrote on X, contrasting the safety risks abroad with the challenges of living in Israel. His call to action comes amidst global reports of a 400% rise in antisemitic incidents since October 7, 2023, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

The attack in Toronto is part of a broader context of escalating antisemitism worldwide, fueled by geopolitical tensions and extremist ideologies. In Canada, despite progressive attitudes towards diversity, the recurrence of such incidents points to a persistent undercurrent of prejudice. The formation of new Jewish security groups, like the Jewish Security Network in Toronto, reflects community concerns and the need for heightened protection amidst these threats.

As investigations continue, the incident serves as a grim reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by Jewish communities globally. It also prompts a critical conversation about the safety and future of Jewish life outside Israel, with figures like Fuld urging a reevaluation of where Jews choose to reside in an increasingly hostile world. The challenge now lies in addressing these acts of hatred, ensuring justice, and fostering a safer environment for all communities.
