A Conversation with Pierre Rehov

“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism.” — Zoheir Mohsen, late PLO senior official, Trouw, March 31, 1977.

The chair of McGill Law School’s Faculty Advisory Board resigned on Sunday in a public letter, faulting university leaders for turning a blind eye to antisemitism on campus.

“Over the past two and a half years, I have observed an escalating pattern of hostility toward Jewish students, faculty, and alumni met with persistent inaction,” Jonathan Amiel wrote in a letter addressed to McGill Law School dean Tina Piper.

A police spokesperson said barring Palestinian activists from residential streets in York Centre was a “targeted response to specific safety concerns,” but demonstrators say it violates their rights.

Police are banning pro-Palestinian activists from demonstrating in residential parts of a North Toronto Jewish community, a decision that’s drawing praise from the local councillor, but pushback from protesters who say it violates their rights.

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) confirmed to the Star on Monday that it is ordering protesters not to picket on residential streets near the intersection of Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue, the site of regular demonstrations and counter-demonstrations since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the country’s ensuing assault on Gaza.

An “anti-Semitic” art exhibition with drawings allegedly showing Jewish people eating babies was seemingly promoted by a Labour council.

The Drawings Against Genocide exhibition at an independent gallery in Margate, Kent, features hundreds of crudely-drawn pictures that critics claim contain anti-Semitic tropes.

It is the work of Matthew Collings, 70, formerly one of the country’s leading art critics, who said the art was “about raising consciousness about hell” and that “Israel is the pure encapsulation of it” through its actions in Gaza.

A fire bomb attack on ambulances belonging to a Jewish volunteer service is being investigated by counter-terror police.

Four ambulances belonging to a Jewish volunteer service have been set on fire in an antisemitic attack outside a London synagogue.

Four emergency vehicles in the Hatzola Northwest’s fleet were firebombed at around 1.40am on Monday morning on Highfield Road in Golders Green.

A violent extremist attack against Canada’s Jewish community is a “realistic possibility” in the next six months, the federal Integrated Threat Assessment Centre warns in a report obtained by The Globe and Mail.

ITAC, which is a specialized organization in the Canadian intelligence community, also said it is unlikely that “Iranian lethal operations” in Canada would target Jewish public officials, such as MPs and cabinet ministers who support Israel. ITAC shared the report with the federal government and often shares such information with people or organizations that could be affected.

Don’t worry folks the threat has ended, the CBC found a couple more Nazis

Apparently Muslims love Jews and would never attack them according to the CBC.

Yes, this is another column about antisemitism. If you’re wondering, why are they on about this again, have a peek at the news. If you’re grumbling – enough already! – maybe there’s a different question you should ask yourself.

Antisemitism is infecting daily life – violently and openly. But also more quietly, even silently. Each act, from microaggression to murder, fuses to create an atmosphere of normalcy for this hatred. And for the hated? Fear.

Keep pretending Islam can be reasoned with, that it can be integrated and before you know it Canada will be just like the UK or the Great White Banlieue! Nothing ever gets better with Islam.

Seriously? I mean, WTF? https://t.co/k1jCE1HyPi

The Guardian has amended an opinion piece about Gail’s bakery after it caused controversy among readers, Jewish staff and the boss of the high street chain.

The article was edited on Tuesday evening to clarify a reference to the opening of a branch as “an act of heavy-handed high street aggression”.

Published on Saturday under the headline “A corner of north London where food has become a battleground in the Israel-Gaza war”, the article by Jonathan Liew prompted accusations of antisemitism against the Jewish-heritage business.
