'Death to all Zios': Nova Scotia man charged with hate crimes
Jewish groups are praising a small-town Nova Scotia police force after a man who allegedly called for 'death to all Zios' and said 'we are going to ruin Zio Joo lives' was charged with hate crimes. On Saturday, New Glasgow Regional Police charged a 22-year-old man with advocating genocide and promotion of hatred. He is in custody and expected to appear in court on Monday. The arrest followed alleged postings calling for the deaths of 'all Zios and people who support them,' a reference commonly used by anti-Israel activists to describe Zionists. The Toronto-based Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation commended the Nova Scotia police force for its 'swift and efficient reaction' to a complaint of online hate. 'Within 36 hours of receiving this complaint, they effected an arrest and laid charges,' the group said in a 'letter of commendation' posted to the X social media site. The foundation noted such charges require the consent of provincial prosecution authorities. 'Amazing,' the Tafsik Organization , a Toronto-based Jewish civil rights group, concurred on X. @caefto congratulates and commends the constables of the New Glasgow NS Regional Police for their exemplary efficiency in investigating an antisemitic hate crime complaint and swiftly arresting and charging a suspect.
