Pro-Palestinian rally draws thousands into downtown Toronto
[quote]
A pro-Palestinian rally drew thousands to Nathan Phillips Square
on Saturday with demonstrators pleading for a ceasefire in the
Israel-Hamas war.
The rally was organized by Toronto4Palestine and it was one of
many demonstrations that took place across the city and around
the world.
Waqas Ali said he joined the protest to show solidarity with
Palestinian people after the Canadian government abstained from
voting for a United Nations General Assembly resolution that
passed on Friday.

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters filled Dorchester Square
Park in downtown Montreal on Sunday afternoon
Bearing signs such as “Bombing children is not self-defence” the
demonstrators listened to speeches and echoed chants spoken by
organizers on megaphones of “Boycott Israel.”
It was one of many such protests organized in Montreal since
Hamas fighters attacked Israel on Oct. 7
Before setting out on the march, organizers warned demonstrators
not to engage with “Zionists” along the route. “They are just
there to provoke us,”
“We are here to show solidarity with the Palestinian people,”
the speaker said.
She called on the Canadian government to sever diplomatic
relations with Israel until it “respects international law.”

Jewish high school closes early after bomb threat
[quote]
The head of a private Jewish high school is speaking out after
staff received an email Friday alluding to bombs on and around
school property.
Jonathan Levy said he and other administrative staff at The Anne
& Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto in North
York received an email after 11 a.m. that said there were a
number of bombs "in or around the school" and that "many Jews
were going to die today."
"We are incredibly grateful for the response of Toronto police
... for the speed with which they have assisted us
The incident is the second the school reported in the past few
weeks. On Oct. 12., three males were arrested after allegedly
making threats to the school.
United Jewish Appeal Federation of Greater Toronto said its
"concerned and outraged" at the incident.
It said how the school handled the threat is "an example of the
importance of Jewish institutions maintaining security protocols
and a high level of readiness."

Canadian Jewish community shocked over anti-Semitic school,
synagogue attacks
[quote]
Lorne W., who preferred not to give his last name, told AFP he
is "very, very, very much" concerned about the sudden uptick in
hate directed at the province's Jewish community, which is one
of the oldest and most populous in Canada.
"Myself and my neighbors, we're very cautious and we're very
hyperaware of what's going on in the streets. It makes us
nervous," he said.
a surge of anti-Semitic attacks that last week saw two Jewish
schools in Montreal's Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood targeted at
night by gunfire -- twice in one case -- and a synagogue
firebombed a few days earlier in the suburb of
Dollard-des-Ormeaux.
For Diana Singal, a Hampstead resident out walking her dog, "it
is scary. I might think of avoiding some Jewish institutions,
because there might be some people that will just lash out."
The streets of Hampstead, an upscale English-speaking
municipality of 8,000 -- 75 percent of whom identified as Jewish
in the last census, which was in 2021
The town hall is flying the Israeli flag at half-mast.
"It is surprising" to see such aggressive acts in Canada, local
rabbi Moishe New said. "We didn't expect it."
Montreal police counted more anti-Semitic acts in the past month
than in all of 2022. The same trend has been observed elsewhere
in the world, including in several European countries.
"We haven't seen this level of anti-Semitism in Montreal, ever,"
said Levi.

The outpouring of anti-Jewish hatred that has continued unabated
since Hamas’ [s]barbaric[/s] attacks Israel a month ago has
baffled and dismayed many people in this country while
emboldening antisemitic voices in unprecedented ways.
Jewish communities in Canada and elsewhere have been warning the
world for years about the steady rise of anti-Jewish sentiments
and antisemitic attacks.
the online gaming community has given digital camouflage to
anti-Jewish hatred, steeping thousands of young people (my own

LEVY: Antisemitism is running rampant in Canadian schools
[quote]
A controversial queer activist has been suspended from
employment at the Toronto District School Board – for the second
time – over his obsessive anti-Israel and antisemitic posts on
X.
Javier DaVila, who calls himself a “queer Latinx award-winning
educator” is an equity program advisor with the TDSB.
He announced on Twitter Monday that he’d been suspended
“minutes” after he called out the Centre for Israel and Jewish
Affairs (CIJA) for allegedly making up lies about what students
from Marc Garneau Collegiate said at a rally last Friday.
one student cried, “Judah, Judah, you can’t hide” – Judah being
a highly antisemitic term for Jew.
The school board claimed at the time that they did not authorize
or sanction his manuals and were also investigating his toxic
tweets.
he was returned to his duties a few months later
Prioritizing a relationship with a political lobby group for an
apartheid genocidal state (that's not even Canada) over the
safety, rights & dignity of racialized students who are
demanding justice for Palestinians, is not a good look for any
school board.
He appeared at another walkout this past Monday in which he
claimed hundreds of students from the same high school walked to
“demand a ceasefire, to end Israel’s genocide and to protest
TDSB’s silence.”
In response to his announcement about being suspended, a number
of activists and radical Muslim sympathizers came on his Twitter
feed expressing outrage.
But DaVila, who appears to consider himself a Freedom Fighter,
was tweeting obsessively before and since his suspension.
We resist genocide, settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing &
apartheid. Our liberations are connected.

defended antisemites in the past, has established a GoFundMe

Jewish Canadians living in rising fear as violence and vitriol
increase
[quote]
the shots fired at schools, the assaults, the defacing of
stores, the scrawled swastikas
So what is at the root of this rising hatred? In a conversation,
Shimon Fogel, chief executive officer of the Centre for Israel
and Jewish Affairs, and I discussed several possibilities.
One factor could be the arrival in recent years of tens of
thousands of people who were victims of the Syrian civil war,
the Taliban reconquest of Afghanistan and other calamities.
These refugees come from a region where there is intense
antipathy toward Israel.
“I don’t think it is universal, but certainly within the
ideologically driven, Islamist ranks of the community, evidence
of hate, from the pulpit to the grassroots level, is clearly
present,” Mr. Fogel believes.
fundamentally we see Israel as a thriving democracy and a refuge
for Jews
Mr. Fogel speaks of “this binary notion that the root of all ill
and evil in our society is white privilege, and the Jews are the
poster child for white privilege.”
The anger and emotion swirling online and in the streets over
Jews and Israel threaten to undermine Canada’s multicultural
consensus. Losing that consensus would be among the greatest
[s]tragedies[/s] that could befall this country.
Jews in Canada right now live in rising fear. Parents are afraid
to send their children to school. College students face
harassment and worse. Protesters are targeting Jewish businesses
and community centres.
Jews know where this leads.

‘He is risking Jewish safety’: Five Tweets responding to Justin
Trudeau’s statement on Israel
[quote]
On November 14, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a
prepared statement that called on Israel to exercise “maximum
restraint” in its military response to Hamas’s terrorist
attacks. He spoke of how “killing of women, children, and
babies” in Gaza needs to stop.
The prime minister’s statement drew criticism from across the
political spectrum in Israel (including the country’s three most
recent prime ministers) and among domestic voices who accused
him of unfairly targeting Israel
Trudeau’s polarizing statement drew several responses from
Israeli leaders across the political spectrum who were united in
their condemnations of the Canadian prime minister.
Yair Lapid, another former prime minister and now leader of the
opposition party in Israel who has called on Netanyahu to resign
from office, found common ground with his political opponent on
this issue and released his own statement on X in an attempt to
counter Trudeau’s talking points.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, which represents
Jewish federations across Canada, echoed the statements of
Netanyanhu, Bennett, and Lapid by noting that Trudeau’s rhetoric
is harmful in the way that it encourages Hamas.

PM’s Objectionable Gaza Remarks Fuel Misinformation Across
Country
[quote]
B’nai Brith Canada is indignant that Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau felt the need to indirectly accuse Israel of targeting
civilians in Gaza in an emotionally charged Tuesday address in
Vancouver.
“Unfortunately, the PM did not offer any constructive solutions
to help people on the ground in Gaza,” said Mostyn, B’nai Brith
Canada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Passionately conveying
misinformation is especially irresponsible at a time like this,
when antisemitism is spiking.”
Within the last two weeks, tensions spilling over from the
Middle East conflict have contributed to hatred and even
violence on our streets.
Surely the Prime Minister must understand the negative impact
spreading misinformation about Israel has on the Jewish
community in Canada.

11 people charged in Indigo bookstore vandalism
[quote]
Eleven people have been charged with mischief following
vandalism at an Indigo bookstore earlier this month, Toronto
police said.
On Thursday, the force said officers arrested a 41-year-old on
Nov. 14 and then subsequently arrested 10 others on Nov. 22.
Police called the mischief "hate-motivated."
However, dozens of protesters gathered outside 52 Division on
Wednesday, calling on police to drop the charges. They dispute
that the alleged actions were "hate-motivated" and called for
the release of those charged.
The police allege that those charged approached the bookstore
(Indigo), glued posters to the windows and doors, and poured red
paint on the nearby sidewalks.

“When we have to hide who we are, we disappear”: Canadian Jews
defiant amid rising antisemitism
[quote]
Jewish Canadians are feeling vulnerable following a series of
antisemitic incidents across the country.
recent surge in violence expressed towards members of the Jewish
faith has the community concerned for their safety.
Rich Robertson, B’nai Brith Canada’s manager of research, told
True North that Jewish Canadians are experiencing unprecedented
anxiety.
“Our community has gone from a period of devastation and
mourning following the [s]terrorist[/s] attack on the morning of
the seventh, to facing unprecedented anxiety ever experienced by
the Canadian diaspora.”
B’nai Brith operates an app, hotline and a website that allows
Jewish Canadians to report and record acts or experiences of
antisemitism.
Since the October 7 [s]terrorist [/s]attack on civilians in
Israel there has been an alarming increase of incidents directed
towards Jewish Canadians.
To address the safety concerns of Jewish Canadians, officials
should “mitigate incitement at pro-Palestinian rallies,”
Robertson said.
“These rallies are fueling incitement
A few weeks ago, a group of pro-Palestinian demonstators swarmed
the Israeli coffeehouse Aroma while slapping “boycott” stickers
on its windows.
Last month, at a demonstration in Montreal, an imam, in Arabic,
condemned “Zionist aggressors” and called on Allah to “kill the
enemies of the people of Gaza and to spare none of them.”
Madi Foglia, an 18-year-old Barrie resident said, that a recent
pro-Palestinian rally in the city “had the Jewish community
questioning the safety they thought they had here.”
Last month Foglia had been putting up posters of missing and
kidnapped Israeli women and children, when she noticed someone
taking them down.
“There is this [s]very twisted narrative[/s] that Jews are
colonizers, that Hamas is only resisting occupation as a
justification for the violence committed against communities
world wide.”
“Historically when we are scared for our well being, when we
have to hide who we are, we disappear, and no one pays attention
to Jewish suffering.”
