If you’re in the Bay Area, this Sunday, May 3, join me at @magnes Jewish Arts & Bookfest! I’m on a panel at noon with two extraordinary authors, @Susan_BK@ZeevaBukai We’ll be talking about how we mine our history to find stories and ourselves.
“Anti-Zionism is a libel-driven hate movement that incites violence and the targeting, exclusion, and marginalization of Jews in the diaspora and has as its ultimate goal wiping Israel off the face of Mother Earth and the death of all beings within it.”

No, you @AnitaAnandMP are deeply concerned about any conflict that involves Israel, yet you are noticeably silent when it comes to conflicts within Canada, especially when Jews are targeted.
Canada is deeply concerned by the resumption of conflict between Iran and Israel. We call on both parties to exercise maximum restraint, de-escalate tensions, and ensure that civilians are protected. A return to dialogue to advance a diplomatic solution is essential to resolving this conflict and to advancing lasting peace, regional stability, and indeed global security.
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
You don’t have to read between the lines to know Alghabra’s intentions with this letter. He doesn’t have to worry about nuanced writing or what Canadian Jews will think. Because he’s on the combat antisemitism council organised by @MarkJCarney
Mr Alghabra has been tapped by Carney to solve what he said is a "crisis of antisemitism."
Below is Mr Alghabra's letter condemning the annual UJA Toronto Walk With Israel event.
This isn't it public relations mistake. It's a public relations strategy.

“Jews are not allowed to stay with us”
Israelis who tried to book a room at a hotel in Bavaria through travel app Booking were shocked to receive a blatanly antisemitic message.
Following a complaint they filed, the hotel was removed from the platform.
German authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.
Banning Jews from your establishment isn’t about politics. It’s pure hate.
Carney has unveiled a new council to combat antisemitism in Canada. The lineup includes a former Liberal minister who is a Muslim, a DEI executive who is also Muslim, a progressive lawyer interested in social justice issues who represented pro-Palestinian encampment activists, an LGBT activist, and an Olympic speed skater.
Only one member is Jewish: Senator Marc Gold, has a long public record in Jewish communal and pro-Israel advocacy.
Seems like expertise in antisemitism was considered optional. If the goal was to reassure Jewish Canadians, this is a bizarre way to go about it.

Dr. Emmanuel Moss, the chief of cardiac surgery at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, is resigning and moving to the United States amid rising antisemitism 🇨🇦
He is one of the only cardiac doctors performing robotic heart surgeries in Quebec.
Why is Quebec choosing to protect hateful antisemites over heart surgeons who save people's lives?

Gazan children at a funeral of a Hamas commander:
"We tell our Zionist enemy: the dead commander will replace other commanders. The shahid will replace 1000 shahids."
This is what they are taught - to praise terrorists and become one themselves.
This week, the UN placed Israel on a shame list with Hamas, ISIS, and Boko Haram.
Meanwhile, 1,500 UN employees in Gaza are under investigation for terror ties to Hamas. Nothing has been done.
Once again, the UN totally ignores its own mission to bully a democratic nation and embolden terrorists.
It’s ridiculous for the UN to put a democracy like Israel—with robust rule of law that conducts investigations and holds criminals accountable—on the same level as terrorist organizations like Hamas & ISIS which DELIBERATELY target civilians for sexual violence as a weapon of terror. https://t.co/JOXsvnyBP0
