Do you hate the Jews?
I am sure your answer is, “Of course not. I don’t hate people and certainly not based merely on how they were born.”

Great. Here is the follow-up question.
What is your level of concern over the rampant, hateful and dangerous anti-Semitism in Canada right now?
At the level you are worried that if masked haters marching swastikas through Jewish neighbourhoods and bullets rocketing through the windows of Jewish schools continue to be taken lightly by authorities, bullets through Jews could be next?
Or is it the level of concern Jews have become accustomed to through history?
“Not my concern and it will probably go away soon.”
Nothing to get upset about?
The Jews are always complaining, right?
Right. Here is what they are complaining about.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got so upset with some protesters making noise and employing a bouncy castle in Ottawa that he invoked the Emergencies Act, reducing the rights of all Canadians and freezing bank accounts.
(No, it wasn’t because of the border at Windsor, Ont. or Coutts, Alta. Those had been handled hours before he did it.)
Yet he can’t seem to show the same level of concern over supporters of the terrorist group Hamas — after its vicious, uncivilized attack in Israel — marching and protesting on our streets and campuses.
Sure, he did force himself to say some protesters have gone too far, but then he emphasized that people have the right to protest and that horrible things are happening.
He is acting like it is just a political disagreement.
The protesters are not innocent people decrying the deaths of innocent people. They are organized and driven by supporters of terrorism.
The National Post reported: “In the early hours of Oct. 7, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) switchboards lit up across America, coordinating a lightning PR response to Hamas’s invasion of Israel.
“The group’s “Day of Resistance Toolkit” distributed to its chapters called the slaughter “a historic win for Palestinian resistance.” The toolkit contained information for walkouts on campuses across the U.S. and Canada and templates for a graphic featuring a hang glider, a novel weapon used by Hamas fighters penetrating the Israeli border on the day of the invasion.”
Anyone marching and camping on campus is either willfully part of that response or useful dupe of SJP.
The protests are driven by hate, but where are our leaders?
The University of Toronto wrings its hands, but perhaps that is not surprising.
The annual anti-Semitic, “Anti-Israeli Apartheid week,” started at U of T.
From the National Post: “More than 100 Jewish doctors who are faculty members at the University of Toronto’s medical school are removing all mention of their affiliation with the school.”
In a press release, Doctors Against Racism and Antisemitism said the faculty members are “protesting the failure of (U of T) and the (medical school) to defend Jewish learners and faculty.”
The hate we see in our communities today is not made of the events half a world away. It was already here, boiling under the surface.
Every day it is emboldened by weak response from authority at all political levels, plus public apathy.
Hamas wants nothing less than the death of all Jews.
Apathy facilitates hate.
First, they came for the Jews.
