“Although our community has waited far too long to see this, we are pleased to see that the city has finally decided to tackle this serious issue and will be discussing a policy framework regarding the city’s response to demonstrations at next Tuesday’s council meeting.” - CIJA VP @MStock2024

Today, Toronto City Council will consider measures to protect our community from rising hate. This includes serious steps we have long been calling for, including a bylaw to protect institutions from protests, more resources for police, and other policies to keep our city safe. We urge all councilors to support these measures without delay. The time for empty rhetoric is over. #topoli

BUYcott Indigo Books on Sept 25th! For months, anti-Israel groups have targeted Heather Reisman and Indigo Books. In response, @cijainfo is organizing a national BUYcott. Shop in-store or online to stand against this harmful campaign!

A new independent poll has confirmed what we at CIJA have been saying all along about the anti-Israel protests on Canadian university campuses: the majority of Canadians believe protesters have engaged in racist, discriminatory, and violent demonstrations that have damaged property and threatened school safety. As such, they oppose these protests, which are promoted by a marginal element.

Universities must take note. Canadians do not support them kowtowing to these tactics, and university administrations must show clear resolve in enforcing campus rules and regulations. With the next semester approaching, universities need a clear, publicized plan to ensure the public can be confident that these toxic protests will be dealt with appropriately.

It’s time we all said, “Enough of the extremism that’s defining our campuses and communities.”

It's not about Israel. It's about dead Jewish people.

This hateful graffiti was painted outside of the Holocaust Museum in Montreal. When will Canada wake up & realize we have a serious antisemitism problem?

[CIJA @CIJAinfo]

We are pleased to see the federal government's updated Anti-Racism Strategy continues to enshrine the #IHRA definiton of antisemitism and supports @DeborahLyonsSE's work on the IHRA Handbook.

[Hillel @HillelIntl]

As long as there are Jewish students on college campuses, Hillel will be there to support them.

We will continue to proudly serve the hundreds of thousands of students who rely on Hillel, and we will never stop working to create a campus climate free from hate.

The individual arrested by the @VancouverPD, Charlotte Kates, who is behind the #siege attack @UBC, did a training session for @Columbia called “Resistance 101” 2 weeks before the siege.

“During the virtual session with one of the speakers, #Samidoun coordinator Charlotte Kates told attendees, “There is nothing wrong with being a member of Hamas, being a leader of Hamas, being a fighter in Hamas… These are the people that are on the front lines defending Palestine,” according #YouTube footage cited in the @WSJ report.” -article below

@ubcprez @Dave_Eby @NikiSharma2 and @lisabeare everyday you allow the siege to continue, you are one day closer to a Columbia outcome.

‼️🚨 When people show you who they are, believe them. We are deeply disturbed by this photo of a protestor at @uOttawa proudly wearing the Hamas logo on their back. Hamas is a listed terrorist organization in 🇨🇦 — one that targets Jews not just in 🇮🇱 but around the 🌎 

That anyone would parade around their support and promote this terror group is shocking and has no place on campus or in our society.  

The university has a duty to ensure such glorification of terror is met with more than condemnation. It needs sanctioning. Dismantle this encampment. Now.
