I am disgusted by the targeted antisemitic attacks that took place in North York over the last several days, including last night outside a synagogue.
These attacks will not be tolerated and I’m pleased the Toronto Police have acted quickly in response and have a suspect in custody. I expect that all those who are responsible will be punished to the full extent of the law.
LiUNA is deeply concerned by the rise of blatant anti-Jewish hatred within parts of the labour movement, spaces where institutions are meant to uphold the rights, safety and dignity of all workers.
Those institutions do not exist to advance ideology or tolerate hate. When they fail in that responsibility, when rhetoric crosses the line into discrimination or silence enables it, they willfully undermine the very principles they were built to protect.
What is most troubling is the growing double standard. We are seeing voices quick to condemn hate in some instances, yet hesitant, selective, or silent when it comes to antisemitism. Hate cannot be acknowledged only when it is convenient or politically aligned, it must be confronted in all its forms, without exception. Because this isn’t a political issue. It is a human on.
Let there be no ambiguity, we will never tolerate or sit in silence while antisemitism shamefully holds space in the labour movement. Not in our unions, not in our workplaces, and not in the institutions that represent working people. This is not a Jewish issue alone, it is extremism that undermines the very Canadian values leaders have a responsibility to uphold.
LiUNA has been clear and consistent: we will always stand firmly against anti-Jewish hatred. We maintain zero tolerance for hate in any form, and we expect the same standard across the labour movement.
Anything less is a failure of leadership, a failure of responsibility and a shameful stain on the labour movement.

I’m really not sure what makes me more anxious.
The fact that people feel so comfortable expressing publicly how antisemitic they are.
Or the fact that I was always living amongst these people, I just didn’t know to what extent they hated the jewish people until now.
An arrest has been made for the individual who shot at visible members of the Jewish community with a replica firearm using non-lethal ammunition.
Ruslan NOVRUZOV, 18, from Vaughan was arrested. His name is of Azerbaijan origin.
Sesame Street shared a 48-second Jewish American Heritage Month video about matzo ball soup, featuring actress and singer Kat Graham celebrating Jewish family traditions.
The post said nothing about Israel, Gaza, or politics. But the comments still filled with antisemitic abuse, Hitler references, accusations of “Jewish supremacy,” and anti-Israel slogans.
This is how normalized Jew hate has become: even a children’s show celebrating Jewish culture is treated like an invitation to attack Jews.
Canada’s hospitality is genuinely impressive. The Muslim Association of Canada’s 2026 convention opens later this month at the Enercare Centre, one of the largest PUBLICLY owned venues in the country.
The speaker list reads like a who’s who of Muslim Brotherhood-linked figures from across the Western world.
Siraj Wahhaj: named in U.S. federal court records as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, who publicly praised the attack’s convicted mastermind.
Anas Altikriti: his father led the Iraqi branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. He runs the Cordoba Foundation, flagged repeatedly in British parliamentary reporting as a Brotherhood front.
Khaled Hanafy: senior official in the Brotherhood’s own political party, which governed Egypt under Mohamed Morsi.
The Muslim Brotherhood founded Hamas. Its charter describes jihad as obligatory and martyrdom as the movement’s highest aspiration.
Multiple governments designate it a terrorist organization. Western intelligence has monitored its networks for decades.
Canada let them in. Then gave them a stage.

Last night, three individuals standing outside a Toronto synagogue were shot at with a replica firearm, leaving one person with minor injuries. This marks the second such incident in a week, following three separate shootings targeting synagogues in March.
This is not normal, and it cannot become normalized. Individuals were targeted outside a Jewish institution and subjected to intimidation and violence because of who they are and where they were.
The cumulative impact on the Jewish community is profound. Families should not have to fear attending synagogue, gathering in community spaces, or simply standing outside Jewish institutions in Toronto.
Governments, law enforcement, and civic leaders must treat these incidents with the seriousness they deserve and ensure those responsible are identified and held accountable.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Toronto Police.
A sitting MP had to stand up in Canada’s own legislature and formally call on a government agency not to be weaponized against Jewish people.
In Canada. In 2026.
Anthony Housefather had to look his colleagues in the eye and say, out loud, on the record: please don’t use the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a cudgel to destroy Jewish institutions.
That is where we are.
For months, a coordinated campaign has been working methodically to strip Jewish organizations of their funding, their legitimacy, and their standing in Canadian civil society.
Methodically. Coordinated.
Those are not my words. Those are the words of a 🇨🇦 MP raising the alarm on the floor of Parliament.
A federal judge reviewing the CRA treatment of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) found conduct carrying “the flavour of abuse of process, bad faith decision-making, and abuse of public office.”
If this were happening to any other community in Canada, would we still be whispering about it? Would we still be threading it politely through procedural motions and carefully worded requests?
Shabbat Shalom!
Remember to light Shabbat candles today before sunset! Check your local times.
Shabbat candles bring both physical and spiritual light, illuminating homes and adding holiness to the world.
Millions of candles are lit every Friday before sunset, a tradition that continues to brighten Jewish life everywhere.
Good Shabbos!
There are only 2 organizations that openly declare that they are part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
One is Hamas, the other is the Canadian organization hosting this conference. They are also about to open a university in Ontario which would allow them to grant student visas. Fun.
The Campaign documentary gets its worldwide debut!
Today Kari Hollend and I are excited and honoured to share that our documentary, The Campaign, will have its world premier at the @docaviv Film Festival in Tel Aviv, taking place May 28-June 5. We will be there for it, too.
The Campaign is a documentary that pulls back the curtain on modern information warfare: how narratives are manufactured, how division is monetized, and how digital propaganda is shaping the world we live in.What began as a film about strategy and influence became something much bigger. A journey into the forces manipulating both history and reality. A wake-up call and a cautionary tale.
More to come about the festival and other worldwide showings. In the meantime, we are very excited about this honour, and grateful to all of you who supported The Campaign.
You can now win Pulitzers for fake news!
The FAUX-tojournalist of this New York Times cover piece, Saher Alghorra, just won a Pulitzer Prize for it.
Remember when the Time had to retract this fake story?
Now this LIE will go down in history for excellence in journalism.🏆

Three people were just shot with a pellet gun outside of a synagogue in Toronto.
Stronger than the average BB gun, pellet guns aren't toys for children. They are even used in hunting small animals.
It's assault, plain and simple. And it is happening outside of a synagogue. Officials are even wondering if it's related to a similar incident.
The hate in Canada is out of control.
