Anti-Semitic incidents in Canada reach all-time high

Recorded anti-Semitic incidents reached an all-time high in Canada last year, B’nai Brith’s annual audit indicated.

The yearly tally, released June 11, shows there were 1,627 reported anti-Semitic incidents in 2014, a 28 percent increase over the year before.

The previous record was 1,345 incidents in 2012.

Most cases last year – 84 percent or 1,370 incidents – involved harassment; there were 238 reported incidents of vandalism, or 15 percent of all cases; and 1 percent of recorded incidents, or 19 cases, involved violence.
