In February , Omar Elkhodary was convicted of assaulting a woman as he tore down the posters she was putting up on a Toronto street showing children held hostage by Hamas .

Kenneth Gobin was to face sentencing for doing a Nazi salute, spouting Hitler rhetoric and spitting on a Jewish couple walking home from their synagogue in Vaughan , Ont . The trio of cases has caught the attention of national Jewish organizations, which said they would be reading victim impact statements at the sentencing hearings of all three men.

Tilda Roll says she will read a victim impact statement at Gobin ’s sentencing hearing Wednesday .

Gobin raised his arm in a Nazi salute and said, “ Heil Hitler ,” according to the court decision.

He spat on the Rolls before riding down a cul-de-sac and entering a park.

The sentences are an opportunity for the courts to show that hate crimes will not be tolerated in Canada .

If you look at Jewish schools, they look more like prisons than Jewish schools. That shouldn’t be like that. Kids should not feel this way.”.
