NEW: Pro-Israel voices have suggested that anti-Zionism, the pro-Palestine movement and “anti-Israel” policies were responsible for causing the Belleville attack. There is no public evidence to support any of these claims. I provide a timeline of how pro-Israel voices warped the narrative about the attack. readthemaple.com/how-pro-isr…

Yesterday, @TheAtlantic published an article falsely claiming The Maple listed two specific synagogues in Toronto as being complicit in Israel’s genocide. The author did this by citing a quote from a September 2024 article I wrote about complicity in Israel’s crimes that did not even mention either of these synagogues, and then not telling readers where the quote was from or when it was published. This was seemingly intended to give readers the impression that it came from a December 2025 database of mine the author mentioned that did include public information about those two synagogues. It did not. Moreover, that database did not claim the synagogues are complicit in anything, nor did it even use the word “complicit” anywhere. The author of the piece was almost definitely aware of these facts when they stitched together the paragraph. The Atlantic editors/fact checkers should have caught it and edited it properly. I alerted them to this serious error yesterday, but they have yet to respond or make a correction. The article also didn’t link to or name either piece, so readers weren’t able to check the sources themselves. Here’s the September 2024 article: readthemaple.com/are-canadia… And here’s the December 2025 database: gtatoidf.com
