Talk about a dubious distinction for a big city with world-class aspirations. I’m increasingly asked by people both in Canada and abroad about Toronto’s antisemitism problem. Indeed, at conferences I attended in New York and Ottawa earlier this month, many delegates, Jews and non-Jews alike, commiserated with me over this deplorable situation.
… What Jews are now facing in Toronto shouldn’t be happening in this city. Not in 2025. Jews shouldn’t be living in fear, compelled to hide their identity for their safety. Lamentably, much to its own detriment, Toronto has changed when it comes to antisemitism. For this corrosive, downward spiral to end requires a commitment from non-Jews. How long are Jews supposed to wait? How long can we wait?
Toronto has changed when it comes to antisemitism. It is rapidly transitioning into a majority-minority 3rd world city.
Toronto’s new people are either by faith antisemitic or are indifferent to Jews at best sharing nothing of Canada’s Judeo-Christian tradition.
No one I know invited this deluge of incompatible cultures.
When I and others spoke against Islamist immigration we were called racists and Islamophobes by our government and also by some of the same people who are wondering about that wait.
Our white skin alone makes us some sort of Hybridized Islamophobic Nazis we’re told.
Our government and all the very best people say so.
What people? The ones who demand we protect the Jewish community from the Muslims they invited here. Our elites Dear reader!
The smart people aren’t waiting. They’re leaving. The GTA is lost.
