A lot of elected officials are still silent in response to what occurred in Toronto this weekend. Why does antisemitism continuously get a free pass to override our laws and safety? It seems our government holds no space for hate, unless Jews are the target. To those in a position of power, wake up and start doing your job. It is because of your lack of leadership and inability to act with moral clarity that has brought us here. 8 months of this nonsense. No more lip service and empty platitudes. We have a criminal code, we have laws. Enforce them.

A long post but sadly needed. When I am asked why I am so outspoken against hate and antisemitism, I have to pause for a moment because I’m not sure how anyone can be silent. Take a look at what happened just yesterday when families, children and participants at the UJA Walk with Israel, became the direct target of vile antisemitic hatred. Peaceful participants were met with cheers for Hamas and the glorification of terror, a masked mob of hate finding their way through a field behind the JCC building to terrorize families, openly threatening their lives, gleefully calling for the death of Jews, giving a $ “award” to anyone who can identify Jews marching in the walk, having children hold up signs with swastikas…the list goes on. While I would normally not allow any space for their vile bigotry on my platform, it is important to highlight the dark and twisted reality of what we are fighting against and who we are fighting for. Allies, please step up. This fight cannot and must not rest on the Jewish community alone. Immense gratitude to our police services who took swift action but this cannot become the norm in our country. The fact that such a heavy police presence was needed should be a stark reminder that by appeasing antisemitism and emboldening hate for 8 months, Canada has failed our Jewish community. Yesterday will be remembered not for their hateful attempts to harass and intimidate but for the strength and resilience of the Jewish community standing together in peace, in hope and in unity. Hate will not win. Photo credit to: Beth Baisch 📸 Leviathan
