Stop saying: "Antisemitic hate has no place in our community."
Start saying: "Antisemitic hate has tragically gained a large, persistent, and potential deadly place in our community - and we all need to do some deep introspection on how and why it happened."
#NEW: Toronto police are investigating after two locations of Jewish-owned Kiva’s bagel bar were targeted in separate incidents Sunday morning, including one where a window was struck by gunfire.

Synagogues are firebombed so often in Canada, it's easy to glaze over the details. But let's slow down a moment.
Last week in Montreal, the shul that was hit:
•Has a pro-peace, pro-Palestine, LGBTQ+ Rabbi
•Hosted a Muslim Awareness Shabbat to memorialize QC mosque shooting

May is Canadian Jewish Heritage Month! In recognition, we want to highlight Goody Rosen, one of just two Jewish baseball players born in Canada to play in the Major Leagues (along with Adam Stern).
Rosen's baseball career began shagging fly balls at Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto as a child. He went on to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants throughout the 1930s and '40s. The talented outfielder had his best season in 1945 when he registered in the top 10 in several offensive categories. Goody Rosen was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984.

The attacks on Canadian synagogues are getting bolder. This was not vandalism in the middle of the night. This was during Shabbat services.
What was he hoping to do if he got inside?

It's apparently a newly controversial position, but American Jews should have the right BOTH to support the state of Israel as the redeemed national homeland of the Jewish people AND ALSO not to have their children murdered by depraved gunmen.
In @TheAtlantic on the Michigan terror attempt. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…
"If the Jewish state is the source of world evil—meriting its eradication from the “river to the sea”—then it’s just a matter of statistics that, sooner or later, somebody will decide to begin the eradicating against easier targets closer to home. The project of encouraging anti-Zionism without fomenting anti-Semitism is reminiscent of many other attempts to separate marginalized groups from their aspirations to equality: anti-feminism without misogyny, anti-desegregation without racism. It’s not theoretically impossible, it just doesn’t happen very often or very naturally in the real world."

Canadian politicians need to understand that “there is no place for this here” or “this isn’t who we are” statements in response to antisemitic violence and criminal intimidation is RAPIDLY becoming our version of Republicans offering thoughts and prayers after a school shooting.

The belief that Jews are to blame for their own persecution is fundamental to antizionists, as it was to antisemites before them.
It's a rhetorical flip that makes every act against Jews another reason to hate Jews. 1/2

I’m not one to marinate in Jewish victimhood or vulnerability, but this particular ubiquitous response (“False flag!”) is repulsive. The number of genuine, confirmed attacks keeps piling up. But they still trot out same pathetic deflection. It’s pathological.
No one has any idea who did this. Considering the history of false flag staged attacks on Jewish institutions, don’t jump to conclusions. If someone wanted to harm Hews rather than generate an excuse for more claims of antisemitism, they would have fired those shots a few hours earlier when the synagogue was full of people.

I am also a proud Jewish Canadian. To my knowledge, I'm probably one of the only openly Jewish news anchors in the country, and apparently that's one too many for this antisemite. What we are witnessing in our city & country are the clear signs of a society in decay & decline.

Australian Prime Minister @AlboMP visits Ahmed el-Ahmed, the man who attacked one of the murders but doesn’t visit the victims. He’s trying to turn this into a “good news” story. It’s not. One exceptional act by a hero does not obliterate the murderous terrorism of #bondibeach
I was very happy to see that Prime Minister @AlboMP visited the Bondi hero Ahmed el-Ahmed in hospital. That was absolutely necessary!
But has he visited any of the other Jewish survivors from the Chanukah festival? I am still in hospital & have not had any approach from the PM.

Imagine quoting someone calling for the de-normalization of antisemitism, calling it divisive and disgusting, and then acting as if you’re standing up for the Jewish community
Disgusting to see elected officials take advantage of an antisemitic act of mass violence targeting the Jewish community to push more hate for those protesting genocide (some of whom are Jewish, btw).
Stand with the Jewish community that is hurting today and stop co-opting their trauma for political, hateful purposes.

The anti-Israel movement in the West often expresses itself in acts of symbolic violence, in genocidal chants, and in terrorist dress-up. Fantasies of murder naturally mutate into the reality of murder.

"I am under no obligation, legal, moral or otherwise, to love Jews, and I do not love them. If that means I meet the Jewish definition of anti-Semitism, so be it”
A 71-year-old man stabbed an elderly woman in a kosher supermarket in Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦 earlier this week.
Then, antisemitic social media posts by the same man came to light.
Thankfully, the woman has since been released from the hospital.
I’ve said it so many times. Hate online turns into real attacks on Jews in the street.
Stop ignoring it. It’s time to call this out.
