Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is calling for people in the city to reject hate and violence amid rising tensions over the Israel-Gaza war that have seen homes and businesses targeted with hate crimes.

“I am hearing people being very fearful, being targeted,” Chow told reporters at a news conference Friday.

She said she receives daily texts from Toronto police highlighting criminal activity in the city and she has seen a rising number of hate crimes of late.
