Pardon the colour language. This was the scene this evening in a #Jewish , not #Israeli , neighborhood in #Toronto . Another #FreePalestine group targeted the Jewish community on #Shabbat & congregated outside a Jewish day school. This is why we say anti- #Zionism is #antisemitism

In just over 80 years, this genocidal call has come full circle. From the Nazis "Final Solution" to campus chants for "One Solution," the Judenfrei to Zionist Free mindset is not progressive or inclusive, but rather fosters Jew-hunting, outing, & violence.

I'm amused that as I fight for #Jewish students to be included in the creation of safe & inclusive learning environments, anti-Zionist trolls flood my accounts with "Free Palestine". It's ironic because these are the same individuals who profess anti- #Zionism isn't #antisemitism .

Tonight in #Toronto , as #Jews celebrate #Shabbat , a " #FreePalestine " rally protested outside Ohr Chaim, a Jewish (not Israeli, not an embassy or consulate) school, shouting antisemitic tropes & sloganeering. These same groups will also tell you anti- #Zionism is not #antisemitis .

I am absolutely disgusted by the targetted vandalism and threat made against @MaritStiles , her office, and the @NDP . While politically we might disagree, this act of violence is NEVER ok. I stand with Marit and her staff in this troublesome time.

For more than 20 yrs teaching politics & global affairs, I told students there are 3 sides to every story: your side, my side, and the truth. Be informed, make sound decisions. Read & find the middle ground. #IsraelUnderAttack & #GazaUnderAttack share 2 very different narratives

With #Canada putting #Hunka & the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS under the microscope, why is there still a memorial to them in St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery? I've asked this for years & have gotten nowhere. @AnitaAnandMP @townofoakville @OakvilleMayor @stcrawford2

Following multiple allegations of #antisemitism , MPP Sarah Jama had been censured & subsequently booted from the #NDP Caucus. Today, Jama's court challenge of her censure at the Ontario legislature was dismissed.

Many say that anti- #Zionism isn't #antisemitism , yet these messages are popping up across #Toronto . No misunderstanding at Parliament & Oak. Thank you to everyone who sent this to me. @311Toronto @oliviachow @TPSMyronDemkiw @kristynwongtam @MarciIen @TTChelps @cityoftoronto

As more provinces, cities & #school boards adopt IHRA's definition of #antisemitism , it's important to challenge the left-wing activist groups mobilizing & attempting to define antisemitism for the #Jewish community. On 11/15, Support #Vancouver City Council in adopting it.

Our article is posted. It's time we rethink how we educate about atrocities. Times have changed, and so must our approach to understanding history, brokering peace, and character #education .

Thank you @TDSB_Glenview for rescheduling Photo Day from #RoshHashanah to a future day in efforts to accommodate Jewish students who will be absent while observing the #Jewish New Year. Wondering how many other schools across #Canada will follow suit? @tdsb @TDSB_JH @AviBenlolo

Wow @CharlieAngusNDP , I would say do better by not calling out #Jews for calling out #antisemitism but, this is what the #Canadian #Jewish community has come to expect. We need allies so be part of the solution, not the problem. @RachelBendayan @NDP @theJagmeetSingh

Dear @RachelBendayan some helpful advice: Don't use the Holocaust for a gotcha moment. And if you're going to take this gutter approach at least make sure you're not a day behind the #NDP who have spoken clearly on this issue. #gettingschooledonbeingapoliticaltroll

As we move into #Shabbat , we must be reflective that in our fight for #inclusivity , #diversity , anti- #racism & #equity , we ensure that spaces remain safe for all. This week, AGPI launched our 2023 Canadian Universities #Antisemitism Report, read it here:

Reviewing the recent @OSSTF D12 PD, there's a serious revisionist issue that's being perpetuated. The slide indicates that Ben Gurion called for the expulsion of Arabs. In the original Hebrew text, the excerpt translation is in fact the opposite. This is the Pappe-Morris Debate.

Spotted in Gaza: A billboard celebrating a "heroic martyr", better known internationally as a Palestinian terrorist who murdered seven Jews who were praying in a synagogue, on Shabbos, in Jerusalem, was out up 24 hours after the attack. Disgusting.

@iamIqraKhalid Yesterday you posed with a sign that read #Zionists are committing a Palestinian #Holocaust . @BonnieCrombie condemned the ambush. Today, in speaking about the #Israel / #PIJ conflict, you failed to add #jewishlivesmatter & failed to comment on @cd4_hr 's ambush. Is this your stance?

While my grandmother survived the Stutthof concentration camp, many didn't, which is why there is no statute of limitation on crimes against humanity. I'm glad that the former #Nazi camp secretary, 97, has been convicted of being accessory to 10k+ murders

Scene of man shooting (blanks) inside Schneerson #Jewish Center on Wednesday night in San Francisco. The center is mainly Russian Jews. With sparsh media coverage, I wonder what media & public reaction might've been had this been a mosque or church in a racialized community
