James hits the nail on the head: “It was our Canadian elites who decided Anglo Canada needed to be Multicultural Canada, and later those same elites who provided safe harbour for Jew hating Islamic extremists. Multiculturalism means that criticism of minorities is verboten. The one minority that is a threat to Jewish citizens is allowed hate speech in our streets, while we, and especially mainstream media, deny ourselves the right to speak freely about totalitarian Islam.

If you mean elite in intelligence, then yes, of course canada needs to be multicultural for the OBVIOUS reason that canada IS multicultural.

According to the 2021 Canadian census, over 450 "ethnic or cultural origins" were self-reported by Canadians.

The threat to Jewish citizens is tiny compared to the death and destruction that has been heaped upon the Palestinian people in this zionist Holocaust for over 3/4ths of a century.

Thank you for this reasonable and strong article, sound on all points. I would like to add two complementary facts:

First, antisemitism is deeply embedded in Islam, with the Qoran stating that Jews are the enemies of Allah. A major source on this issue is Andrew G. Bostom's THE LEGACY OF ISLAMIC ANTISEMITISM (Prometheus Books, 2007, 766 pp), which consists largely of texts from Islamic sources.

Second, I would argue that DEI, which identifies Jews as white oppressors, is an important source of contemporary Western antisemitism. I elaborate this argument in https://www.mindingthecampus.org/2025/01/21/dei-is-antisemitic/

Another fact, far more important, is the indisputable fact that zionists stole the lands and wealth of the Palestinian people, aided and abetted by crimes against humanity, uk, usa, canada, and the other usual suspects.

Interestingly, all the above mentioned purveyors of genocides, Holocausts also have their own Holocausts they have committed over the centuries.

"anti-semitism" is a badly and deeply overplayed bit of rank propaganda by all the above Holocaust producing "nations".

"When I was a young Zionist in college, I went to a Hasbara(propaganda) training at the Israeli Consulate. I remember being shocked that one of the things we were told was that when someone argued against Israel not to address the argument, but instead to accuse the person of antisemitism."

Not only are your arguments not "indisputable," they are grotesquely false. And quoting people of Jewish background who have converted to the Progressive Religion does little to support your dubious case.

Always lame nothingness, aka zero evidence, from lying zionists and their lying supporters.

Donna Nevel knew when she was a young adult how much zionists lie. Donna Nevel describes the immoral and amoral actions certain zionists seek, lamely, to advance. Which are obviously massive and serial lies.

"Palestine was hardly Britain's to give away." ---- John F Kennedy

Note well how you avoided, TOTALLY, the issue of all those western "nations" who support, aid and abet the zionists' 3/4 century plus Palestinian Holocaust, having their own Holocausts.

If an anti-Zionist like Ilan Pappe says the claim that BDS came from a call of Palestinian civil society “not true”, I’ll believe it. It’s what is known in legal circles as a “statement against interest” and that increases its reliability.

James Pew: "Jews today can leave Canada or Britain, or any other place unable to deal with an escalation in anti-Semitism, to seek peace and security in the Jewish state. Why would anyone want to take that from them?"

================

You failed to ask the more important question, James. Why would anyone support the zionists stealing the lands and wealth of the Palestinian people in this 3/4 century plus long Holocaust?
