ATTN: Request for the immediate granting of asylum to the United States for any Canadian Jew due to religious persecution in Canada.
Canada has been experiencing a very rapid increase in violent anti-Semitism over the past two years. The Jewish community lives in daily fear and the government โ federal and provincial officials โ completely ignore their pleas for help.
My grandparents escaped the pogroms in Eastern Europe in the late 1800s and were happy to come to these shores to find a safe and secure home to raise their families. My father and uncle went on to serve in WWII in the European Theater; proud to serve with the other American boys defending our great country. Many of the Jews in Canada have similar stories of immigration and contributions to their country. The only difference is that the situation in Canada has become untenable and Canadian Jews must once again uproot themselves; as their ancestors had to do back in Eastern Europe.
Please help them.

That's an incredible story. They were very lucky. The men would never have come back. Going back one more generation on my side, my great grandfather was taken from his family when he was a kid and put in the czar's army. He managed to survive in the army for 25 years and came along with his son here.
Growing up these stories always intrigued me. I grew up in a small Midwestern town where I saw my share of anti-Semitism, but that doesn't compare with what's going on in the world now. Canada is much further along than we are, but we could be catching up.
I hope something can be done here quickly for Canadian Jews. Watching the videos and reading the complete bullsh-t Carney was saying, and the 'committee to study the issue', I can just imagine how you and your family must have felt.
@delieberman I'm so sorry that you're going through this. My grandparents fled the pogroms to come to this country in the 1890s. I don't think they could have imagined we would be having these conversations in 2026.
John Fetterman is correct to be concerned. The goals that Trump boldly expressed at the beginning of the Iran War have all but evaporated over the past two weeks. And Trump, the non-politician, has surrendered to the call for political expediency.
Trump very much wants a Legacy. He wants to be remembered for something great. He had that Legacy in his grasp, and he could have given freedom, security, and safety to the world. Instead, he will be remembered for missing a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Surrounding yourself with a small fringe group of anti-Zionist Jews is meaningless and shows your complete disdain for New York's Jewish community. You wouldn't go to the Israel Day Parade because you would have had to associate with Jews - real Jews - who support Israel.
Like all anti-Semites you try to separate Judaism from Zionism. While you're spending time with your anti-Zionist friends why don't you ask them how many times Zion is written in the Bible - I'm sure they will have no idea, but there's always Google. You and your friends might learn something.
Zionism and Judaism are inextricably linked, they cannot be separated. You continue to insult New York's Jews and show your hostility to them, by cherry picking the handful of so-called Jews you choose to meet with.
@jerseyjersey48@VividProwess@BarnabyAma94476 Sadly yes. The Regime will never give up on their objective to d*stroy the 'Little Satan' and the 'Big Satan' no matter what deal they make.
Exactly. The Islamists are very methodical. They have been creating communities throughout the country. And they have been laying the groundwork for placing Islamists in key administrative positions as well as on the ballot in elections at all levels. We saw this yesterday in New Jersey and we saw it several months ago with the election of Mamdani in NYC. And these are only 2 examples.
The most important thing people don't understand is that the Islamists are not here to assimilate like prior waves of immigrants. Their playbook is Demand, Control and ultimately Dominate. And getting their people in key elected positions will help in this. They are already pushing for Sharia Law in some areas.
This is not conspiracy or paranoia. Just look at the UK where Starmer rolled out the red carpet for the Islamists. And we see the results today.
@Yael4Hanover@CBHeresy This is horrific. I hope she is ok. Curious if anyone helped her.
And you're very right, Jews who still identify as Liberals will sadly not wake up. The term 'Suicidal Empathy' is a very accurate phrase to describe this mindset.
I'm where you are. I gave up about 10 days ago, but if I had any lingering hope Trump's actions and words yesterday ended that.
And you're very right, we have lived for thousands of years with no help, but from ourselves. President Trump did not 'save' us, in fact he has now sadly joined all former presidents who always seek to tie our hands behind our backs in time of war.
The real losers in this whole morass are the Iranian people. He promised them freedom and then he betrayed them. And for what, that's the million dollar question. As upset as we are at the man we thought would do the right thing, it can't compare to how the Iranian people must feel right now.
