Toronto (April 16, 2026) – Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) welcomes the sentencing of Nicholas Amor, 30, of LaSalle Ontario, for inciting hatred against the Jewish community as well as weapons-related offences. FSWC filed a criminal complaint about Amor with the LaSalle Police Service near Windsor, Ontario in October 2025, following its own in-depth investigation into Amor’s extensive campaign of online hatred against the Jewish community. This prompted a police investigation as well as charges against Amor.

In court today, Justice Mikolaj Bazylko called Amor’s actions “vile" and “disgusting” and “antithetical to the values of this country.” Justice Bazylko sentenced Amor to two years less a day in prison – the maximum provincial sentence for his crimes – as well as three years probation. Amor is barred from accessing social media, attending protests or approaching Jewish community institutions for three years following his release from prison. He is also prohibited from possessing firearms for 10 years.

Over the span of nearly two years, Amor – using the online personas of “Nic Macri” and “globalizeintifada” – published social media content referring to Jews as “rats,” “baby killers” and “infected scum,” he falsely accused Jews of heinous crimes such as organ harvesting, pedophilia and intentionally spreading disease, glorified the Nazis and Hamas as valiant killers of Jews, and blamed Jews and Israel for all the world’s problems. He also repeatedly called for violence against Jews in both Canada and Israel.

During their investigation into Amor’s activities, LaSalle Police also discovered a stockpile of Molotov cocktails in his residence.

In the courtroom today, FSWC’s Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy Jaime Kirzner-Roberts outlined the impact of Amor’s conduct on the Jewish community, emphasizing the real-world harm caused when antisemitism is amplified and left unchecked. “Mr. Amor’s hateful rhetoric is not new,” she told the court. “It draws directly from the same tropes that have fuelled centuries of discrimination, persecution, and mass violence against Jews. When such narratives are revived and disseminated publicly, they do not exist in a vacuum – they normalize hatred and lower the threshold for others to act on it.”

FSWC commends law enforcement and the Crown prosecutors for their diligence and commitment in ensuring accountability in this case. “We welcome today’s sentence as an important step in holding individuals accountable for the promotion of hate and incitement to violence against the Jewish community,” says Kirzner-Roberts. “This sentence appropriately reflects the gravity of Mr. Amor’s actions and sends a message that such conduct will be met with serious consequences.”
