It is hard to believe that two years ago I wrote this piece on the front page of the @nationalpost, imploring Canadians to stand up against the growing wave of Jew hatred in our country.

Today, more than two years later, that hate has become more emboldened, more radicalized, and far too normalized through silence, complacency, and the unwillingness of too many to confront it head on.

Pandering while the fabric of our democratic society is chipped away by terror and extremism.

Hate does not disappear when ignored. It grows.

Just this week alone, posters of a missing 14-year-old girl were ripped down on the streets of Toronto. Why? Because she is Jewish. A child is missing and this is the response?

In Montreal, effigies including of a Jewish man wearing a kipah hanging at a pro-Hamas rally, a grotesque display of intimidation, hatred, and deadly bigotry. A blatant display of antisemitism.

Though not surprising when also this week, a member of parliament was openly photographed with supporters of the IRGC, who call for bloodshed in the west and the destruction of our values and collective safety.

Canada making international headlines for the hate that has infested our institutions and way of life.

This is not the Canada we should ever accept.

And I refuse to be silent.

Because this is not a Jewish issue. It is a Canadian issue. A human issue. And it is not the responsibility of our Jewish friends to fight the hatred being directed at them.

This is every Canadians fight.

So today, I implore once again for Canadians of conscience to speak out. Say enough. Demand more. And let’s stand together for a Canada we can all once again be proud to call home.

Very powerful. Listen to this Rabbi’s words as he talks about the stabbing sin Golders Green.

What are you doing about this @MayorOliviaChow ? You’re leading us straight to another Bondi Beach. This is one you! Time to crack down

[Melissa Lantsman @MelissaLantsman]

They call it “so-called Canada.”
They shut down the Eaton Centre on Boxing Day to call for the slaughter of Jews.

It never ends there, folks. Look around.

I’m sure this is fine though, apparently it reflects “our values.”

This is 🇨🇦 now. No one will talk about it. Radicalized lawless mobs rule the day. Police stand by. The media doesn’t cover it. And the silence from the top tells you everything.

@Councillorsuzie You have to be out of your mind!

[Edith Levy @Edithlevy21]

@KevinVuongxMP @tdsb Agreed. This is Canada. Our anthem should be in English or French. When did Arabic become an official language???? Digesting @EarlHaigPS and @tdsb and insensitive and insulting.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

"This is ON YOU Prime Minister!"

"Don't you BLOODY DARE say you want to keep the Jewish community safe, when you're part of the reason they're not."

"Shame on you!"

Absolutely SPOT ON.
Well said @JuliaHB1 👏👏👏

@VividProwess Israel….always!

[Edith Levy @Edithlevy21]

@HenMazzig Israel should not pull out. If those other countries don’t like it then they should take a break from participating

[Edith Levy @Edithlevy21]

@rich_toronto He should be stripped of his Order of Canada!

@VividProwess Keep doing your great work!

@EYakoby They should be fired! Disgusting behaviour.

[Edith Levy @Edithlevy21]

@vcmancinelli @iamIqraKhalid Agreed. Antisemitism and support of a terrorist organization should not be rewarded. She should be sanctioned in Canada as well!
