Tensions ran high & frustrations were palpable at a TDSB parent budget meeting Tuesday night, where parents pressed for answers on hundreds of staff cuts and program reductions planned for this fall.

But the Ford government-appointed TDSB Supervisor didn’t answer questions during the meeting & declined an interview with me afterward. Watch:

If they would have nuked Lebanon the “Walk with Israel” probably would have been bigger. The more lawless and genocidal Israel acts the greater the number of Toronto Jews who take to the street in support of their beloved supremacist state.

Sunday’s “Walk with Israel” was reportedly the largest ever. United Jewish Appeal says 60,000 participated and $670,000 was raised for Israel. It was apparently even larger than New York city’s Israel Parade. No city outside Israel brings out genocidaires like Toronto!

As the “Walk with Isreal” and polls suggest, Toronto Jews largely support a lawless genocidal state. Anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim bigotry is rife in the highly influential community. Incredibly, multiple MPs and the chief of the Toronto police attended the genocide walk on Sunday. Additionally, a massive police presence was mobilized to intimidate and arrest anti-genocide protesters.

Being in Toronto during Israel’s brutal 2014 attack on Gaza opened my eyes to that city’s fanatical Jewish supremacism. My experience of the dynamic driving Canadian support for Israel was articulated in Canada and Israel: Building Apartheid. I wrote, “during 15 years of activism in Montréal, Ottawa and Vancouver I haven’t seen anything equivalent to the racist, militarist pro-Israel movement experienced recently in Toronto.” I saw thousands demonstrate in favour of Israel’s onslaught and was shoved, spat on, had my bike damaged and lock stolen by men wearing “never again” T-shirts who were angry with my support for Palestinians. Over the two-month long summer “war,” I witnessed numerous random outbursts of anti-Arab racism, including an older woman interrupting a phone conversation I was having about Israel’s destruction of Gaza and yelling she hoped Israel kills “10,000 more.”

With 1,500 Palestinian civilians (versus six Israeli) killed during the seven-week war Toronto’s United Jewish Appeal and other Israel lobby groups organized a large pro-war demonstration under the banner: “We Will Not be Silent: A March Against Global Anti-Semitism.” Framed as a challenge to prejudice, the march was little more than a group of white people calling for the further subjugation of brown folk.

In my 2014 article “Toronto’s racist, militarist pro-Israel movement”, I wondered, “While the Jewish Defence League would likely back the complete incineration of Gaza, one wonders just how far the more mainstream groups are willing to go in cheering on Israel’s current onslaught, its third large-scale assault on Gaza in five years. Will the Jewish establishment withdraw support if 2,000 Palestinian are killed? Or is the breakpoint 5,000? Or maybe B’nai B’rith and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs would back the Israeli military all the way to 50,000 dead?”

Unfortunately, we now know the answer. No amount of Israeli killing of Palestinians, Lebanese or Iranians appears likely to break Jewish institutional support for that faraway country. In fact, when it comes to attendance at the Walk with Israel attendance appears to rise alongside Israeli criminality.

As they march and promote a lawless genocidal state, many in Toronto’s Jewish community also claim victimhood. But they are likely the best-off ethnic/religious community in Canada’s largest city. A Jewish person in Toronto is more likely to earn above the median income, own a home, have a university degree, sit on a corporate board or be a billionaire. They are less likely to be incarcerated, have their children taken from them or die young.

Hate crimes are the only widely used indicator of discrimination in which the Jewish community fares poorly. While the genocide lobby exaggerates the scope of the problem, Jews are substantially overrepresented as victims of hate crimes. But they fare better (often significantly so) than other groups on the other indicators commonly employed to identify status/oppression.
The Toronto Jewish community may be the best placed of any in the world. Describing it as “the envy of the UJA federation world,” Alan Dershowitz told United Jewish Appeal’s late 2014 Toronto Major Gifts dinner: “You must never be ashamed to use your power and strength. Never be afraid that people will say, ‘You’re too strong and powerful.’ Jews need power and strength. Without this strength — economically, morally, militarily — we can’t have peace.” But UJA-Toronto isn’t seeking “peace.” Rather, they’re working to strengthen a Sparta-like, Jewish-supremacist state in the Middle East.

UJA funds a slew of institutions that promote genocidal Jewish supremacy. Over the years they’ve distributed billions of dollars to schools, camps, synagogues and community centres promoting Zionism. People attached to those institutions are overwhelming who attended the Walk with Israel. Those are also the main people fundraising for Israel, joining its military, lobbying for its interests in Canada, etc. There’s an extensive and well-funded network of institutions promoting genocidal Jewish supremacy in Toronto.

But there’s little appetite to challenge them even though all taxpayers underwrite most of the institutions through direct government grants and charitable subsidies. In fact, many leftists prefer to obscure the organized reality. In a recent Breach commentary on antisemitism Jordy Cummings claimed Jewish support for Israel reflected “false consciousness” while many critics of the Walk with Israel suggested it was about European settler solidarity. While Canadian colonialism has undoubtedly shaped this country’s ties to Zionism, United Jewish Appeal bringing out tens of thousands of Toronto Jews to promote genocide is not driven by “settler solidarity”.

Yes, groups like Jews Against Genocide and Independent Jewish Voices as well as tens of thousands of Toronto Jews oppose Israeli violence. Still, that shouldn’t stop anti-genocide campaigners from highlighting the mainstream Toronto Jewish community’s role in promoting anti-Palestinian and Muslim racism and the genocidal Jewish supremacist state. We will never change the truth until we acknowledge it.

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

How the NY Times describes the Azov Regiment, a unit of US-armed Ukrainian fascists whose symbol is the Nazi-inspired Wolfsangel and whose torsos are emblazoned with Totenkopf tattoos:

“A well known military unit”

Much less descriptive than its account of Graham Platner’s tats

An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.

NY Times reports today that Israeli Shin Bet agents "were discovered to have tried to plant a listening device in a Secret Service vehicle"

This confirms my reporting from September 2025

I was told that Secret Service vehicle was one which would respond to an emergency involving the president

Everyday I learn something about Zionists that’s even worse than the horrible thing I learned the day before.

This is very on Brand:

[Rabbi David Mivasair @RabbiMivasair]

“The growing wave of antisemitism in Canada is a myth. B’nai Brith Canada, a pro-Israel lobby group, has invented “a national crisis” of antisemitism by defining opposition to Zionism and criticism of Israel’s conduct as Judeophobia. The organization, along with other pro-Israel partisans, are pressing Canadian governments at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels to implement legal measures to criminalize pro-Palestinian, pro-democracy and anti-Zionist, anti-colonial political positions.”
