Canadian Jews: The Government of Canada Has Your Back -- With a Knife

"This was an opportunity for the Prime Minister to meet the moment."

"Instead, Canadians heard a speech that described the problem more than it confronted it. The Jewish community did not require another acknowledgment that antisemitism is raging across the country, we needed a plan proportional to the scale of the crisis."

"Canada is not facing an antisemitism awareness problem. Canada has an antisemitism problem. The country has been poisoned with Jew hatred and we need a remedy." 

"The reality is even more severe. For many Jewish Canadians, that civic compact has already failed. The institutions that were supposed to protect them have too often looked away."

"The systems that were supposed to respond have too often failed. The consequences are being felt by Jewish communities from coast to coast, every single day."

Simon Wolle, B’nai Brith Canada's Chief Executive Officer

 

"A country where Jewish schools need security guards, where synagogues need barriers and where Jewish children attend schools hidden behind a protective perimeter is a country that is protecting its citizens, but is failing to protect its civic compact."

"Canada's civic compact is failing Jewish Canadians. If that covenant fails for one of our communities, it fails us all."

"The crisis of antisemitism in Canad today is specific, severe, and demands a targeted response." 

"Our government is fully committed to that response."

That much-anticipated speech informed its Jewish audience at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto what they already know. The Prime Minister's statements, however, erred in claiming that his government has committed to respond to the glut of antisemitism that has roiled Canadian society since October 7 of 2023. That day of historical infamy to join the annals of vicious Jew-hate culminating in an orgy of mass extermination of Jewish babies, elders, women and men by rampaging Palestinian terrorists, whose admiring colleagues teaching and studying in Canadian universities, immediately embarked on a mission to blame Israel for the atrocities perpetrated on its people by Arab Muslims, while condoning the sadistic savagery as the actions of a frustrated people whose noble victimhood steered them toward justifiable mass homicide.

 

In the years to follow, the aggravating social dysfunction of Palestinians in Canada and their academic, union and Jew-hating supporters marched in the streets across Canada, damning the nation that suffered a mass atrocity, actively calling for more of the same through globalizing the 'Intifada', while calling for a 'Final Solution' and jeering at Canadian Jews to 'go back to Poland', all demonstrably hatefully aggressive assaults, while waving the flag of the very perpetrators of the mass rapes and slaughter of innocent civilians, along with the flags of terrorist groups proscribed in Canada. No federal action in response ever was launched, but the previous and present prime ministers were quick to condemn this 'unCanadian' antisemitism, while in the same breath condemning 'Islamophobia'.

For Mark Carney to stand before Jews in a sacred place of worship -- not to him, but to Jews -- and declare that his government is taking steps, at long last, to secure the safety of Canadian Jews is a bald-faced fiction. The conditions in which Jewish Canadians must live, to hide their identities, to ensure that physical measures are in place to protect synagogues, Jewish schools, Jewish-owned businesses, all of which have been vandalized and more, have never been addressed in any measure by authorities, local, provincial or federal. 

 

Toronto in particular has gained an unenviable reputation globally as a place where antisemitic disorder and threats go unnoticed other than by the demographic against whom it is directed. In truth there is no province, no city anywhere in Canada where Jews can feel free to be themselves without continually looking over their shoulders. In approaching medical care, Jews are faced with the prospect of trusting Canadian Muslims to honour the medical code of ethics and care when they know that  among that community there are those who have publicly stated their intention to harm Jews should the opportunity arise.

 

As Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to lay out the government's next steps to combat antisemitism and hate on Monday, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Carney to apologize 'to the Jewish community for the violence, the terror and the fear that his party and his government have allowed to happen over the last decade.'   CBCNews

 

The inaction of the federal government, its provincial and municipal counterparts to these threats against Jews in Canada has led the Jew-haters to the conclusion that they can say, act out and perform any acts of rejection, fomenting hate and encouraging violence, with no repercussions to follow. The federal government at its executive level has, by its absence, given free rein to any and all would-be abusers of Jews. And for the Liberal prime minister of Canada to present himself, his cabinet and their colleagues as committed to the security of the Jewish population in Canada is an outright fabrication.

 

In stating that his government rejects that issues from abroad in other countries not be brought to bear in Canada, he has himself set the agenda by focusing on Israel in its response to terrorism from Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Iranian regime and others by openly and flagrantly condemning Israel's response to its existential threats; appearing to condone those committing terrorist acts against Israel, he is once again leading the way. Illustrating in his lack of knowledge and concern, that official Canada considers Israel to be the aggressor, and in so doing inciting Muslims in Canada to acts of aggression in Canada against Jews.

 

The man, in his gross ignorance is despicable. He would choke himself to death before admitting that it is the work of Muslims in Canada fuelled and urged on by foreign actors like Qatar, Al Jazeera, the IRGC, the Muslim Brotherhood and their allied partners in cultural Jew-hate that have perpetrated this state of viral unwelcome to Canadian Jews, to the extent that many who love the country and have had no other self-remedy to remain as Canadians, are removing themselves and their families to tear up their Canadian roots for safety and security in other countries, including those experiencing their own imported crises of the mass hysteria of antisemitism.

 

Prime Minister Mark Carney said 'Canada's civic compact is failing Jewish Canadians,' in a speech on combatting antisemitism and hate on Monday at Toronto's Holy Blossom Temple. 'If that covenant fails one of our communities, it fails us all,' Carney said.                     CBC

  

 

Liberty!! Equality!! Fraternity!! Vive La France...!

"The analysis suggesting that France’s decision to recognise the state of Palestine in September is behind the rise in antisemitic violence in France is erroneous, abject, and will not go unanswered."

"The current period calls for seriousness and responsibility, not generalisation and manipulation."

French President Emmanuel Macron 

 

"Mr. President, we are French citizens who respect the laws of the republic, but if you adopt a law against anti-Zionism, or if you officially adopt an erroneous definition of anti-Semitism that permits outlawing it, please know that we will break this law with our words, our writing, our art and our acts of solidarity."

"And if you decide to pursue us, to silence us, even to imprison us for that, well, you can come and get us."

"Anti-Zionism is an opinion, a current of thought born among European Jews at the moment when Jewish nationalism was taking off. It opposes the Zionist ideology that advocated [and still advocates] the installation of the world’s Jews in Palestine, today Israel."

"[The essential argument of anti-Zionism is] that Palestine was never an empty territory that a ‘people without land’ are free to colonize based on a divine promise, but a country populated with real inhabitants for whom Zionism would soon become a synonym for exodus, despoilation and the negation of all their rights."

"UN Watch, the independent Geneva-based non-governmental organization that monitors the United Nations, today called on Canada, France, Spain, Norway, the Netherlands, Australia, the UK, and other democracies to explain why they joined in the election of serial abusers of human rights to key UN bodies that oversee human rights."

"On Wednesday, the UN’s 54-nation Economic and Social Council nominated the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN’s Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets next month to shape policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. ECOSOC’s nomination is effectively decisive, as the UN General Assembly customarily rubber-stamps such nominations without a vote."

Ah, yes, France. True to its traditions. During World War II, racial identity cards facilitated deportation of approximately 75,000 Jews in France to their deaths during the Holocaust. This is the land of liberty, equality, fraternity, which celebrates the universal rights of humanity. Exit the Jews and all is well. Well, hang on a minute; 500,000 Jews are citizens of today's France, though many among them think of leaving. Although the number of French Jews represents the third largest aggregation of Jews after the U.S. and Israel, they are vastly outnumbered by the number today of French Muslims, up to four million in number, 10 percent of the French population.

 

Oil and water. The persecution of French Jewry has advanced significantly in lock-step with the growing presence of French Muslims. Not that without the presence of Muslims there would be no Jew-hate in France; the defaming accusations in the 19th century of treason charges levied against Jewish Alfred Dreyfus, defended by none other than Emil Zola of popular French/global literary fame who was then himself accused of libel and forced to flee after his J'Accuse! was published where he charged the French government leadership of antisemitism and the unlawful imprisonment of French Army General Staff officer 35-year-old Alfred Dreyfus. Zola himself was forced to flee France for England, to avoid imprisonment.

 

France became the first Western country to formally recognize the 'state of Palestine', leading others like the U.K., Spain, Australia and Canada to join in that recognition at the U.N. General Assembly in April 2026. Despite that the Palestinian Authority had countless times turned down a peace agreement with Israel that would lead to a formal acknowledgement and a state of their own, adamantly refusing to recognize the right of Israel's existence.

So much for the piety of France's vaunted equality, liberty and fraternity. It must pay heed to the presence on its soil of a massive and growing Muslim-French population. Constant 'unrest' manifests from among many within that demographic, when the non-Muslim-unapproachable banlieues outside Paris and Lyon sporadically explode in violence. The kind of chaos that keeps official France on its toes in prevention, when and if possible. Areas strictly off limits to police, fire-fighting crews, ambulances, where no one who is not Muslim may enter without encountering personal danger.

 

Somewhat like Israelis accidentally straying into West Bank Palestinian towns, risking life and limb. Whereas Palestinians representing 20 percent of the Israeli population with full citizenship need not have any such fears. Israel, where liberty, equality and fraternity is practised as a reality, as much as is possible, given the frailty of human nature. Israel, where Israeli-Palestinians can aspire to and occupy positions in the Knesset, the judiciary, hospital medical communities, alongside Israeli Jews, Druze, Circassians, Christians, Kurds and B'hai, among others.

 

In France, a Code Noir remains on its law books, dating from the 17th century. When it was enacted three-and-half centuries ago, signed into law by King Louis XIV, the Black Code represented the architecture of the country's colonial slavery system. It formalized the legal basis for African captives to be transformed into property. Interestingly, the first article of the Black Code was to legalize the expulsion of Jews from French Caribbean colonies. 

 

The Black Code exemplified the French slave economy of forced labour in exchange for which enslaved Blacks received the benefits of Christian benevolence as members of the one true religion. The Jesuits, among other orders in the Catholic Church, educated the enslaved populations and operated slave plantations which financed their missions abroad. A Dominican priest managing a sugar plantation in Martinique in the 1690s ordered torture as a penalty for any Blacks caught taking part in African religious rites. Versions of the Code were practised in Indian Ocean colonies of Mauritius and Reunion and the Louisiana Territory.  During the Haitian Revolution,  an estimated 200,000 Black Haitians fighting for freedom in the late 18th and early 19th centuries perished for their own cause of liberty, equality and fraternity.
