NEW @thevosf ⁦👇🏼
The social media broadcast of the hunting of Scott Wiener at Trans Shabbat wasn’t a protest. It was an instructional video — and the audience wasn’t Wiener.

Teaching exemplary intimidation means you don’t need to threaten every Jew in San Francisco—just the most visible gay Jewish elected official in the city: you surround him, you mob him, you film the humiliation and the bystander effect, and then you broadcast it on social media as a trophy.

WARMINGTON: Another Toronto synagogue vandalized as city braces for Walk for Israel https://t.co/odDnG8q8ur

@joe_warmington @TorontoPolice Thank you for continuing to cover this story @joe_warmington. Such a relief she’s been found.

Joint Statement by CIJA, @UJAFederation, and @FederationCJA: 

There is a coordinated campaign to erase Jewish life in Canada. And it is not only being waged through violence and intimidation.

For months, a veritable witch hunt across various channels has targeted all Jewish community institutions with the goal of erasing Jewish life in this country. Today, this campaign, orchestrated by radical anti-Jewish and anti-Israel groups, has crossed a new threshold by attacking our community's schools, with a clear and blatant intent to weaponize the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Fringe activists have filed malicious complaints targeting 11 of our schools across Canada, as well as members of our community. The goal is not transparency, but a blatant desire to paralyze and destroy Jewish community life in Canada. Targeting our schools means targeting our children, and that is unacceptable.

Let’s recall the facts: since October 7, Jewish schools have faced real threats—gunshots, incendiary devices, antisemitic graffiti, and harassment. Instead of protecting children, these malicious actors prefer to put a target on their backs, using them as pawns for their vile antisemitic propaganda, which ultimately attacks the very values of our country.

CIJA, supported by leading legal experts, is actively engaged with the government to counter this offensive. While there is no indication of elevated security threat, we will continue to work with Security Networks all across the country and authorities on security and safety. Targeting Jewish schools means targeting Canadian children, which is sickening and unacceptable. We trust that Canada Revenue Agency will reject this cynical attack on the integrity of schools that, every day, proudly teach Canadian values.

“When they came to tell us that Hersh had been executed, then I realized that those 330 days had been the good part, because he was alive. And now I'm in this place... How do I walk through this place without a piece of me here?” says Rachel Goldberg-Polin, whose son was executed by Hamas in 2024. https://t.co/Zrfdrya99X

Tragic. Avoidable. And a devastating path that McGill seems either unable or uninterested in righting. Jewish Canadians, all Canadians, deserve better from this leading institution of higher learning.

"An institution that cannot ensure the safety, inclusion, and dignity of its own community cannot credibly
sustain its claim to excellence."

Read & weep Jonathan Amiel’s lucid letter of resignation to my alma mater @mcgillu, the Faculty of Law that my own father, now threatened by the same pernicious hate in his own beloved city of Montreal, dedicated decades to.

Belgium’s Defence Minister has announced that the military will be deployed to protect the country’s Jewish population. Yes, the army. In Europe. In 2026.

“…city leaders have tried to persuade the public that statements are an adequate response — statements of concern, statements of solidarity, statements condemning antisemitism. But statements do not stop bullets.”

Two more synagogues in Toronto have been hit with gunfire. This is the third shooting of a synagogue in about a week, on top of multiple acts of antisemitic vandalism on Jewish-owned businesses. It feels like our own Bondi is right around the corner.

[Barbi Green @1tsBabs]

@joe_warmington @joe_warmington remember when you came to my wedding at Shaarei Shomayim? Better, more peaceful days. 💕

[Michael Levitt 🇨🇦🎗️ @LevittMichael]

Two more synagogues were shot at overnight in the GTA.

Shaarei Shomayim in Toronto.
The BAYT in Thornhill.

On the Jewish Sabbath.

As a Canadian Jew, I feel anger and dread. Antisemitic violence is escalating in real time, and tragically it’s becoming normalized.

Gunfire at synagogues should shake this country to its core. Instead, it risks becoming just another headline.

Canada’s leaders must confront this with urgency.

Tragically, we all know where this road leads.

Bondi Beach.

For years, it has been clear that Hamas uses hospitals as military bases. @MSF and other NGOs chose to ignore this war crime, and instead lambasted Israel for anti-terror operations targeting Hamas infrastructure.

MSF’s admission that Hamas military presence in hospitals threatens their humanitarian work is ironic, and acutely overdue. 🧵>>

I watch this video every Holocaust Remembrance Day.

And I cry each time, because it revives my hope in humanity!

This is Sir Nicolas Winton, who rescued 669 (mostly Jewish) children from Czechoslovakia during the Holocaust & brought them to Britain in the Kindertransport.

Everything possible needs to be done to prevent a likely massacre of Jews in Canada.

[Adrian Hilton @Adrian_Hilton]

In a world of news which shocks or disquiets me almost daily, to read of this happening in the UK is a cause of anguish, shame, and educational disgrace. There should be questions in Parliament. I want the headteacher and governing body to explain themselves. I want the Education Secretary to demand answers. It is intolerable that a state school can bar a Jewish MP from visiting in their own constituency simply because teachers object to the presence of a Jew. It is utterly, utterly outrageous.

MIssissippi's largest synagogue destroyed in an arson attack on the Sabbath. The fact this isn't the biggest story of the morning, or the day so far, should tell you just how normalized anti-Semitic action is becoming.

Next time, it would be nice for the media to talk about antisemitism before it ends with 15 of us murdered while lighting candles on the beach.

Jews appreciate that the world knows how to mourn us. But we wish it would learn how to protect us, instead.
