The entire population of Gaza is traumatized beyond measure after nearly 11 months of genocide. Over 2 million people will likely never feel or be safe again, but we’re supposed to believe simply drawing attention to this makes Zionist Jews “feel unsafe”. Utter fucking depravity.
8-year-old Palestinian girl Sama Tabil has lost her hair due to stress and trauma caused by Israel’s war on Gaza. She says she wants to travel to get treatment so she can 'be beautiful again.'

I’m a proud 4th generation Jewish Ottawan. My family helped build the community & ran the most iconic Jewish business in the city’s history — the Rideau Bakery. Raising the flag of a state committing a genocide goes against every value I was instilled with & betrays our humanity.

🇨🇦’s official policy is that 🇮🇱’s colonies in the West Bank & East Jerusalem are war crimes. During a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, stolen lands in these colonies are being sold as Jews-only property in a synagogue in 🇨🇦.
Why does Minister Saks omit this context for us?
There are appropriate places to demonstrate. In front of a synagogue and community centre in the heart of a Jewish community is not one of them. That is not freedom of expression or protest against the conflict between Israel and Hamas - it is antisemitism.

Groundbreaking data on Jewish Canadian views of Israel shows:
- 91% of Canadian Jews believe Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state.
- Only 3% said that Israel does not have the right to exist as a Jewish state.

To protect Jews from antisemitism let’s create a state where another people already live, expel them from their homes, occupy & steal their land, kidnap, torture & murder their children & humiliate them daily for generations all while playing the victim. That should do the trick.
Israel went to Jenin today, in the West Bank, and kidnapped this 7 year old girl from her family. They do these things often but we rarely catch them on film.

this is who you think is appropriate to provide "guidance and advice on addressing systemic and specific cases of antisemitism”? Jewish students at your university identify as anti-Zionist. Arthur vilifies them. They can’t feel safe & neither can Palestinians.
It is IJV that is not a credible source. They speak for a tiny fraction who are anti-Zionist secular Jews. They cause great harm to the vast majority of us who see Israel as key to our identity. They contribute to gaslighting Jews & provide cover for incitement & hate against us.

Same goes for young Jewish Canadians. Its always been unethical to spend 10 days partying while fellow Palestinian Canadians w/ family born there can never even visit, & while Israeli apartheid reigns from the river to the sea.
But during a genocide? You’d have to be a lunatic.
If you’re an American Jewish young person signed up for a Birthright trip this winter, do not go. You’ll spend ten days being spoon fed propaganda while — just a few miles away — millions of Palestinians are starving and worried about if they will survive Israel’s next bombing.
