<p style="font-weight: 400;">A Canadian man who threatened to bomb every synagogue in Toronto “to kill as many Jews as possible” was only sentenced to house arrest for 60 days.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In addition to house arrest, Waisuddin Akbari, 41, was given three years of probation, a 10-year weapons prohibition, and was ordered to provide a sample of his DNA, The National Post<a href="https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/bomb-toronto-synagogues-house-arrest?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=NP_social&amp;utm_content=news" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> reported</a>.</span></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">In March 2024, Akbari conversed with a salesman at a BMW dealership, claiming he wouldn’t lease or finance a new car; he claimed Israel and the Jews controlled world events and made money from interest payments on every car loan. He said Israel would kill anyone who was not Jewish and deserved to be killed themselves.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Evidence in court stated that Akbari continued, “Before I go, I want you to remember my name and remember my face because the next time you see it, I’ll be on the news. I know when I’m going to die because I’m going to plant a bomb in every synagogue in Toronto and blow them up to kill as many Jews as possible.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When the salesman queried whether he was serious, Akbari answered, “Yes, I’m serious. I’ll make sure those attacks are filmed and posted online so the world can see what I’ve done.” The salesman later reported to the court, “Based on the seriousness in his tone, I didn’t think for a second he was joking.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Judge Edward Prutsch, who issued the sentence, stated, “Jewish Canadians did not and do not feel safe in their own communities. The constant threat of attack has left members of the community in perpetual fear for their wellbeing and has led to members of the community questioning their future as Canadians.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">He added his reasons for the leniency of the sentence: “It is important to be clear about what Mr. Akbari is — and is not — being sentenced for. He is not being sentenced for taking any material steps to act on the threats he made. There is no evidence before me of the collection of weapons, explosives, maps, planning or coordination. Indeed, following his arrest, police conducted extensive checks and searches on Mr. Akbari to ensure the safety of the community was not still at risk. Mr. Akbari’s guilt is based on empty threats he communicated to a stranger, mistakenly assuming (he) would be sympathetic to Akbari’s own warped and hateful worldview. There was no effort to publicize his threats beyond the conversation.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“That is not to say that the threats were harmless,” he acknowledged. “Mr. Akbari’s threats were clearly motivated by bias, prejudice and hate towards Israelis and Jews. … Hate-based threats are not just words, they are the gasoline upon which even more serious offences burn. Where hate is normalized, harm follows.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“At a time of rampant antisemitism in Canada and elsewhere, it sends an alarming message that threats to slaughter Jews and bomb synagogues may be met with leniency. That is extremely disappointing and profoundly unsettling for our community,” Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, a director with the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, responded to the sentence.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A Canadian government report released in July found that more than 10% of the Canadian province of Ontario’s 30,000 Jewish school-aged children have experienced antisemitism in school. “Perhaps most troubling is the revelation that approximately 17% of incidents were either initiated by a teacher or took place during school-sponsored programming. In nearly half of all reported cases, school authorities failed to investigate the incident,” Combat Antisemitism <a href="https://combatantisemitism.org/cam-news/report-reveals-one-in-six-antisemitic-incidents-in-toronto-schools-linked-to-educators-or-school-sanctioned-activities/">reported</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In May, the Toronto Police Service 2024 Annual Hate Crimes Statistical Report <a href="https://www.cija.ca/antisemitism_in_toronto_is_escalating_and_the_numbers_prove_it">stated</a> that although Jews comprise less than 4% of Toronto&#8217;s population, 40% of all hate crimes and 81% of religiously motivated hate crimes in the city were targeted against Jews.</p>
