Nearly three years after the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre in Israel, and more than six months after US President Donald Trump announced his ceasefire initiative for the Gaza Strip, one reality remains painfully clear: Hamas is still armed, still in control of large parts of the Gaza Strip, and still openly refusing to surrender its weapons.
We are witnessing the beginning stages of a new Jewish exodus, not from Egypt and slavery, but from Canada’s rising antisemitism. There are the high-profile cases like bestselling author and professor Gad Saad or Dr. Emmanuel Moss, the chief heart surgeon at the Montreal Jewish General Hospital.
The Walk with Israel had not even begun and Toronto Police set the tone with its first arrest.
Toronto City Councillor James Pasternak says that he has been told by police that they will not allow the same “Gauntlet of Hate” to hector Jews to occur at the Walk with Israel as it did one year ago.

Had a good turnout.
Many people welcomed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s forceful denunciation on Monday of the “scourge of antisemitism” as something that is “specific, severe and demands a targeted response.” But the new initiative he announced — the launch of the Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion — is woeful.
It’s no secret that these are bad times for most Jews in the diaspora. Anti-Semitism across the West has reached a virulence not seen since the 1930s.
A clear danger should lead to greater solidarity, but instead we are seeing greater division among Jews. Shockingly, the scourge of Jewish anti-Zionism has metastasized after October 7, often allying itself with Islamists committed to the eradication of Israel and, in some cases, assaults on Jewish communities around the world.
Black advocates call out Carney government for excluding them from diversity council
Advocates for Black Canadians say the Carney government is reinforcing the barriers they face by launching an inclusivity council that does not include any Black people.
They said the decision raises questions about the prime minister’s approach to tackling discrimination.
“We’re tired of being an afterthought, tired of having to raise our voices to be heard and seen fully,” said former MP Jean Augustine, the first Black woman elected to the House of Commons.
Years ago, my wife and I were out for a walk when she asked me a question that has never left me.
“When did they know it was time to leave?”
University of Toronto law professor Peter Biro has resigned his fellowship from Massey College after he says the institution wanted an “advisory committee” to vet an antisemitism conference he was organizing.
“A good portion of Canadian society is utterly oblivious to the fact that our current age represents the next great transmutation of jew-hatred in human history,” Biro wrote in his resignation letter dated May 31. “That only underscores the critical importance of this conference.”
This week, while spring cleaning, I opened a drawer and found an old copy of the satirical French magazine, Charlie Hebdo.
Not an ordinary issue, but the edition published one week after the magazine was targeted by a violent terrorist attack, in which 12 people were murdered and 11 others were injured. The cover defiantly showed a tearful Muhammad holding a sign reading “Je suis Charlie” (I am Charlie).
Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw has laid down the law to anybody thinking about disrupting Sunday’s Walk with Israel.
“You are going to see a very substantial police presence and police response,” the chief told Newstalk 1010’s John Moore on Friday morning just hours before his Deputy Chief Frank Barredo was set to hold a briefing about the plan.
Performative hindsight?
A raging woman spewing antisemitic hate targeted a Jewish rider on a Big Apple subway Sunday, shouting in the packed train car “Jews are eating kids,” according to the victim and shocking video.
The suspect was shouting her furious rhetoric against Jewish people on a C train around 2:15 p.m., the victim, a 23-year-old Upper West Side woman, told The Post.
"It's okay for her to eat kids, but I can't choke her down?"
This is how blood libel becomes violence against Jews. People genuinely feel that attacking Jews is not just their right, but righteous.

Canada has an antisemitism problem, but listening to our politicians, government agencies and some in the media, it’s easy to get the impression that no one really knows where the hatred is coming from or who is committing attacks against Jews.
In his much-discussed speech Monday at a Toronto synagogue, Prime Minister Mark Carney called out Jew-hate as a “crisis” that is testing the very “nature” of our country. He tacitly admitted that some immigrants are bringing old-world hatreds with them when he said, “When you come to Canada, you bring your faith, your tradition, your language, your story. You leave behind your wars and your animosities.”
Islamic extremism is enthusiastically supported by our so called “elites” in government, the academy, the justice system, the media, policing and unions.
I won’t even hazard a guess on how much our political class spends on KY Jelly per Islamist vote.

OTTAWA — On the evening of June 1, at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto, Prime Minister Mark Carney told an audience of Jewish leaders something no Canadian prime minister had said so plainly: that the country’s “civic compact is failing Jewish Canadians.” Antisemitism, he said, had surged to levels not seen since the postwar period.
To mark the moment, he unveiled the Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion, with the former senator Marc Gold, a past chair of the Jewish Federations of Canada, among its members.
Within a single day the gesture was already coming apart.
Jewish groups dismiss as ineffectual the appointment of @CdnHeritage committee to investigate anti-Semitism. “Canada is not facing an anti-Semitism awareness problem. The country has been poisoned with Jew hatred and we need a remedy.”

Miller is a stupid magnet.
In response to rising antisemitism in Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a new racism advisory board on Monday and tasked it with assessing antisemitism in the country.
However, the board included among its members a politician who had previously rejected describing the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades as a terrorist organization, along with a lawyer who had represented anti-Israel encampment activists.
Year after year, Toronto police have allowed Muslim pro-terrorist mobs to invade and harass the Jewish community. Now, PM Mark Carney has declared that there is a “scourge of antisemitism” and plans to combat it with a DEI council.
