If the Pro-Hamas anti-Semites who vandalized Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman’s Thornhill constituency office think they are going to terrorize the outspoken MP, they don’t know her.

She’s tougher than them and does not hide under the cover of night or sneak around wearing a mask like they do.

Instead, Lantsman is out there transparently fighting for Canadians of all backgrounds.
“They will not silence anyone with intimidation,” Lanstman told The Toronto Sun from Ottawa.
But they are sure going to try.

Day after day, week after week, protesters under the cover of darkness — or behind masks — target Jewish coffee shops, schools, synagogues, hospitals and infrastructure in Jewish neighbourhoods, at will.
This time it was done to a Jewish MP who could one day be in cabinet and perhaps even prime minister.
The front of her office was plastered overnight Wednesday with many hateful anti-Israel messages, including one which suggested she’s got “blood on your hands” and another accusing her of being responsible for funding Israel.

Lanstman is on the opposition benches and not responsible for any of the government’s decisions. What she has been is supportive of all the efforts to bring home the hostages and call out the horrific terror that went down on Oct. 7. And she will continue to do that.

York Regional Police’s Hate Crime Prevention Unit is investigating.
There was outrage coming from some of her peers and from those who are keeping track of post-Oct. 7 anti-Semitism because they know if they don’t record it, it will get scrubbed by people who will deny any of it ever happened.
“Having your office vandalized is awful,” said Liberal MP Anthony Housefather. “I know this personally.”

On its X platform, B’nai Brith Canada posted: “The continued harassment of Jewish politicians in Canada must cease immediately. Attacks against constituency offices, like those that recently occurred at the offices’ of BC MLA Selina Robinson and Deputy Leader of the federal Opposition Melissa Lantsman are unjustifiable and an affront to Canada’s democracy. B’nai Brith Canada stands in solidarity with Jewish politicians across the country and insists that these acts of vandalism be investigated as hate-motivated offences.”
Dr. David Jacobs posted on X “this is Thornhill, Canada. MP Lantsman, the Deputy Leader of the Official Opposition, woke up to this plastered on her office window. She is one of nine Jewish Members of Parliament. How many of the other 329 MPs had their offices vandalized last night?”

None . And none should.
The constant anti-Semitism continues because Canada’s leaders are trying to go down the middle and not offend anybody – specifically Muslims, who are overwhelmingly not responsible for any of the vandalism we have seen.
If leaders think all Muslims are supporting Hamas, they are clearly not speaking with Muslims. When something like this happens to a prominent parliamentarian who happens to be Jewish, there should be no middle ground.
Everybody should agree that this is intolerable.

Somebody should tell the politicians and law enforcement that. There are not two sides. Hamas is a banned terror group. Hamas is the bad guy.
Until they make that clear, the people who are trying to scare Jews and create Kristallnacht-style events will continue to do so.
It’s a gross time when those who support terrorism, the rape of women, the taking of hostages and the murder of innocent people try to bully governments to stop Israel from defending itself against genocidal Hamas.
No one wants to see innocent people killed or wounded in war, but it must be noted Hamas caused all of it.
Every death that comes out of the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by barbaric terrorists from Gaza, who slaughtered innocent Israelis, are the result of the bloody hands of Hamas.
Lantsman has stood up to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when he suggested Conservatives run with people carrying Swastikas — and she will stand up to this.
“They mobs won’t win,” she declared.
But clearly, those who back Hamas don’t agree and feel they are above the law. They’ll do whatever they want, when they want, to whoever they want.
This time it was a top politician. Who knows who or what their next target will be?
