Andrea Horwath, NDP Leader and MPP for Hamilton Centre, issued the following statement in response to the anti-Semitic graffiti and vandalism at the Beth Jacob Synagogue, as well as concerning incidents at the Hamilton Downtown Mosque involving an unknown man taking photos of the congregation:
“There is no place for hatred, anti-Semitism or Islamophobia in our community. Acts of vandalism and fear-mongering will not deter us from attending our places of worship and practicing our faiths.
“We stand with the Jewish and Muslim communities during this difficult time. As a community, we must continue to call out these callous and cowardly acts and work collectively to put an end to hate in Hamilton.”
