Let us be clear: this is not a debate about the Middle East. Hanging effigies of Jews in the streets of Montreal evokes some of the darkest antisemitic imagery in history and is completely unacceptable. This is not “peaceful activism.” It is the promotion of hatred and the incitement of violence that fuels the radicalization of our social climate. What will it take for authorities to treat these acts as the serious threat they are?
Le CIJA@CIJAQC

Ne nous y trompons pas : il ne s’agit pas d’un débat sur le Moyen-Orient. Voir des effigies de Juifs pendues symboliquement dans les rues de Montréal renvoie à une imagerie antisémite profondément inquiétante et totalement inacceptable.   L’utilisation de cordes de pendaison ne relève pas du  «militantisme pacifique» . Elle constitue une forme d’intimidation et un appel implicite à la violence qui contribue à la radicalisation du climat social. Quand les autorités vont-elles le traiter comme tel.

A joint statement, which was issued on the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, that condemns Israel while ignoring the Palestinian Authority’s responsibility reflects a troubling double standard that does not advance the conditions for peace or security. The Palestinian Authority continues to financially reward terrorism through its “pay-for-slay” program, incentivizing violence against Israelis and Jews, while failing to implement meaningful democratic reforms. If Canada intends to be a serious partner for peace, then any commitments made by the Palestinian Authority in exchange for recognition must be independently verified, enforced, and subject to transparent public accountability — not simply accepted at face value, especially as the Palestinian Authority continues to incentivize terror. pm.gc.ca/en/news/statem…

Waiting for Canada to issue a harshly worded statement about abuses and excess by Spain. It won’t come because it isn’t about Israel.

Police forcibly detained Global Sumud Flotilla members and their supporters at Bilbao Airport after the activists returned from Israeli detention. Videos showed officers from the Basque regional police force beating and dragging people. Four people were reportedly detained.

Elon Musk on Israel🇮🇱: "I’m a huge admirer of the innovation coming out of Israel, it is objectively true that Israel punches high above its weight — I think honestly number one in the world… innovation per capita, Israel is by far number one in the world."

The Lebanese people have the right to live in peace and security as do their neighbours in Israel. The conflict is rooted in Hezbollah’s relentless terror attacks, which have made large swaths of Israel’s north uninhabitable. For the past 20 years the Lebanese government and UN forces have failed to address this threat. Israel has a fundamental obligation to defend its citizens from attack. Any path to peace needs to credibly deal with the cause of this conflict— Hezbollah’s threat to Israelis and Lebanese civilians alike. pm.gc.ca/en/news/readou…

Last night, three individuals standing outside a Toronto synagogue were shot at with a replica firearm, leaving one person with minor injuries. This marks the second such incident in a week, following three separate shootings targeting synagogues in March. This is not normal, and it cannot become normalized. Individuals were targeted outside a Jewish institution and subjected to intimidation and violence because of who they are and where they were. The cumulative impact on the Jewish community is profound. Families should not have to fear attending synagogue, gathering in community spaces, or simply standing outside Jewish institutions in Toronto. Governments, law enforcement, and civic leaders must treat these incidents with the seriousness they deserve and ensure those responsible are identified and held accountable. Anyone with information is urged to contact Toronto Police.

SHOOTING: Bathurst St. & 401 area 10:49 p.m. (May 7) - 3 people standing in front of synagogue were shot at from vehicle w/ a replica firearm - 1 person struck and suffered minor injuries - this is being investigated as a suspected hate-motivated offence - anyone with info, contact police at 416-808-3505 #GO944378 ^vs

Congratulations @kinsellawarren
Warren Kinsella@kinsellawarren

The Campaign documentary gets its worldwide debut! Today Kari Hollend and I are excited and honoured to share that our documentary, The Campaign, will have its world premier at the @docaviv Film Festival in Tel Aviv, taking place May 28-June 5. We will be there for it, too. The Campaign is a documentary that pulls back the curtain on modern information warfare: how narratives are manufactured, how division is monetized, and how digital propaganda is shaping the world we live in.What began as a film about strategy and influence became something much bigger. A journey into the forces manipulating both history and reality. A wake-up call and a cautionary tale. More to come about the festival and other worldwide showings. In the meantime, we are very excited about this honour, and grateful to all of you who supported The Campaign.

Last year, the Canadian government said recognizing Palestine was predicated on governance reform by the Palestinian Authority and other commitments that would create a more peaceful future for Israelis and Palestinians. Yet today, the Prime Minister offered premature praise for “reform commitments,” even as the PA continues to maintain “pay-for-slay” — incentive payments for terrorists — an ongoing practice that fundamentally undermines claims of meaningful reform or moderation. We would like to see details of the reforms being praised here. When Canada speaks, clarity and consistency matter. pm.gc.ca/en/news/readou…

Public funds should never support organizations that promote division or amplify symbols associated with banned terrorist groups.

It’s important to see reports that the government is seeking repayment from Toronto Palestinian Families over social media posts. But it should never have reached this point.
 
We urge the government to put in place appropriate screening mechanisms to ensure public money is used responsibly -- and so this doesn't happen again.

The best part of international sport is that it allows people to put political conflicts aside in the spirit of peaceful coexistence. It should never be a platform for voices that fan the flames of hatred and violence, especially at a time when violent rhetoric has too often led to real-world harm. Yesterday, Canada denied entry to the head of the Iranian Soccer Federation, who has links to the IRGC. But Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestine Football Association and a convicted terrorist who was previously denied entry by Australia and censured by FIFA for incitement and racism, was allowed into Canada. He was also the head of “internal security” for the PLO, responsible for terrorizing Palestinians who dared to speak out against the regime, and he has a long record of glorifying and encouraging violence and terror, including the terrorist attacks at the 1972 Olympics and the October 7 Hamas-led massacre.

Yesterday, in the Spring Economic Statement, the federal government announced a significant increase in support for the Canada Community Security Program. A vital program helping community institutions that are increasingly forced to divert resources away from education, social services, and childcare to meet urgent security needs. As reported by the @nationalpost, this step forward was a direct result of our community's collective advocacy, including the voices of Jewish Federations and 100 organizations from across the country.
