“Why did the Jews stay?”
This question, asked by a high school student during a recent Holocaust education session I gave at a Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., high school, shook me. Today, as violent antisemitism surges in cities like Montreal, Amsterdam and beyond, it is a question many Canadian Jews, including myself, are now asking.
… For many, escaping was logistically and financially impossible — one needed a place to go and the means to get there by train or boat. Some believed the horror was temporary, trusting non-Jewish friends to demand justice. Sound familiar?
This article goes directly to the victimhood fail file. The author is a former union leader who happens also to be Jewish.
He was an OPSEU member. What does OPSEU have to say about Diversity? About Muslims? About White people?
In a world where racism, far-right ideology and white nationalism are on the rise – where Jews, Muslims, immigrants and other equity-seeking groups are threatened with discrimination and increasing violence – we must take a stand against division and fear, and embrace unity and hope.
So Whites who stand up for themselves, who care about the Canada we are in the process of losing are slandered as “White Nationalists” undeserving of a country or protection under his treasured concept of “equity”.
Any opinion that is right of Stalin is of course smeared as “Far-Right”.
These policies were in place while Arbus served.
He is a tone deaf hypocrite to lecture us about the silence of support and the hatefulness of Canada when he and his union are among the “oppressor class” of institutionalized anti-White racism in Canada.
Avast me Hearties!
