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.
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.
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.

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/
