Oui, ils sont au Canada et ils veulent tuer des Juifs.
Mais ils ne s’arrêteront pas aux Juifs.

At a time when Canadian workers face serious challenges, the labour movement should be focused on unity, workers’ rights and collective bargaining, not symbolic political battles over foreign conflicts.
The @CanadianLabour Congress’s decision to sever ties with Israel’s largest labour federation raises serious questions about the meaning of solidarity.
As @jeffarbus, former vice-president of @OPSEU and special advisor to @JewishLabourCA, writes in the @TheHubCanada, Jewish workers deserve the same respect, inclusion and protection as every other worker.
A member is a member. A worker is a worker. No exceptions. No selective solidarity.

A member is a member is a member
This article by @jeffarbus eloquently describes how the Canadian Labour movement has failed in its mandate to unite for a common cause
By alienating Jewish workers, it has fractured and weakened the labour movement

Either @MarkJCarney & @AnitaAnandMP are amateurs and were duped by the Palestinians
Or
they knew this was going to happen & didn’t care because they were dead set on recognizing a Palestinian state — and lied to Canadians.

These people used UofT to glorify murder, rape, kidnapping and torture - they are despicable
The President of @UofT forbade this gathering from occurring on University property
UofT should charge those who participated with trespassing, and any students should be disciplined

This article is worth reading
It’s time everyone acknowledge what the even the Federal government has finally figured out
Antizionism is antisemitism
If you condone harassment or violence against Canadian Jews in the name of hating Israel, you are a racist

J’adore la fête de Soukkot, qui commence ce soir.
Pendant une semaine, les Juifs quittent le confort et la solidité de leurs maisons pour habiter (ou à tout le moins manger) dans une soukka, une cabane fragile dont le toit laisse voir le ciel. (J’espère que la météo collaborera…)
Soukkot nous rappelle que la sécurité n’est jamais absolue. Que nos certitudes peuvent être fragiles. Et que, malgré — ou est-ce à cause de? — cela, nous avons le devoir de nous réjouir et d’accueillir.
Ce message, plurimillénaire, est particulièrement actuel : Soukkot nous dit que la force d’une société se mesure à sa capacité d’ouvrir sa porte à l’Autre, qui est et pense autrement.
Hag Soukkot Sameah!

I love the holiday of Sukkot, which begins tonight.
For a week, Jews leave the comfort & security of their homes to live (or at the very least, eat) in a sukkah, a fragile hut with a roof that lets you see the sky. (I hope the weather cooperates…)
Sukkot reminds us that security is never absolute. That our certainties can be fragile. And that, despite—or is it because of?—this, we have a duty to rejoice and to welcome others.
This message, dating back thousands of years, is particularly relevant today: Sukkot tells us that the strength of a society is measured by its ability to open its doors to the Other—those who are different and think differently.
Hag Sukkot Sameah!

This scathing rebuke of @avilewis very eloquently explains the harm he has caused
By blaming Jews in Canada for the (alleged) actions of another state, something that would be unheard of for any other demographic group, he has justified violence against Jews
He should resign
Avi Lewis’ foolish statement should be disqualifying for the leader of a major political party.
However, because he is leader of the NDP, and because his target was Jews, it very well could boost his internal support by five points.

A police officer was shot defending a synagogue in Belleville tonight as Jews began the holy day of #YomKippur
@avilewis has insisted there is no threat
@RabbiMivasair has dismissed concerns from the Jewish community
What do they have to say now?

Au coucher du soleil, commencera le Yom Kippour. Beaucoup de Juifs seront à la synagogue et ce, pendant des heures aujourd’hui et demain.
Au Canada, bien que les Juifs ne soient que 1% de la population, ils sont la cible de 68% des crimes haineux pour motifs religieux.
Je veux remercier d’avance les policiers, les agents de sécurité et les bénévoles qui assureront notre sécurité, en cette période trouble.

At sunset, Yom Kippur will begin. Many Jews will be at synagogue for hours today and tomorrow.
In Canada, although Jews make up only 1% of the population, they are the targets of 68% of religiously motivated hate crimes.
I would like to thank in advance the police officers, security guards, and volunteers who will ensure our safety during these troubled times.

Hey @progresstoronto,
Do you want to #DefundThePolice and put that money into programmes for those who need them?
Maybe stop promoting #antisemitism and pull your support for a Mayor who has failed Toronto’s Jews
Then we won’t have to pay for police protecting Jewish schools

CBC journalists can now call the September 11 attacks what they were: terrorism.
Credit to @kinsellawarren for bringing CBC’s 9/11 language guidance to light — and to @CBCNews for responding to the criticism and changing its policy.
However, broader CBC policy remains in place, requiring attribution when describing other acts of terrorism.
That includes Hamas. Nearly three years after the October 7 terrorist attacks, CBC still refuses to call Hamas a terrorist organization without attribution — despite Hamas being a listed terrorist entity in Canada since 2002.
CBC should address the larger problem: listed terrorist organizations like Hamas should be called what they are. Terrorist attacks should be reported as terrorist attacks.

I don’t think many people were fooled anymore, but if they were…
When you protest a Yiddish festival that has nothing to do with Israel, that’s antisemitism
Yiddish, a language of the European Jewish DIASPORA
It was never really about Israel, it was always about hating Jews

Boy George stood with the Jewish community. Now, Canadians are standing with him.
As the @TheCJN reports, Boy George and Culture Club’s September 7 Vancouver concert is going ahead despite calls to cancel the performance over his support for Israel and the victims of the October 7 terrorist attacks.
The @PNE_Playland has stood firm, rejecting calls for censorship and making clear that audiences should decide which artists they want to see and support.
As CIJA’s @nicoslobinsky told The CJN: “Calls to cancel a concert because of an artist’s views cross an important line.”
Thank the PNE for standing up for artistic freedom — and show Boy George that Canada welcomes him.
Take action:
