The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Nov. 25, edition that a York University professor is among 11 people facing criminal charges in the defacing of a bookstore with red paint and accusations its Jewish founder supports genocide. The Globe's Sean Fine writes that Toronto Police said the incident was motivated by hate. Associate professor Lesley J. Wood was charged with mischief over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence by Toronto Police. The allegations relate to red paint thrown on doors and windows at the Bay-Bloor outlet of Indigo Books & Music, Canada's largest bookstore chain, and posters depicting its founder and chief executive officer, Heather Reisman, on a fake book cover entitled Funding Genocide. Three student organizations issued a joint statement shortly after the Oct. 7 atrocities committed by Hamas, describing what occurred as an act of Palestinian resistance against "so-called Israel." The incident at Indigo sent shock waves through the Jewish community, said Bernie Farber, founding chairman of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network. He called it a "classic case" of anti-semitism. He said, "We see our history flashing before our eyes."
