April is Genocide Remembrance Month, significant for the Jewish community as it coincides with Yom HaShoah, highlighting rising antisemitism fueled by online hate and misinformation. A study revealed that 61% of Torontonians and 80% of Gen Z rely on social media for news, with 76% believing it spreads antisemitism, coinciding with a 69% increase in antisemitic hate crimes in Toronto post-Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. The urgency for education and critical thinking about online content is crucial to combat misinformation and empower future generations against hate.
