Once upon a time, Jews in Toronto could expect only one public antisemitic hate-fest every year when enemies of Israel would gather downtown to mark the annual Al-Quds Day. How almost strangely quaint that now seems in view of today’s reality.
For Jews in 2024, amid a staggering rise in antisemitism, almost every day is starting to feel like Al-Quds Day, given the increasingly frequent and toxic anti-Israel and anti-Jewish incitement playing out on the streets and university campuses of Canada’s major cities.
It will not get better.
