| A pro-Palestinian rally drew thousands to Nathan Phillips Square | |
| on Saturday with demonstrators pleading for a ceasefire in the | |

| The rally was organized by Toronto4Palestine and it was one of | |
| many demonstrations that took place across the city and around | |
| the world. | |
| Waqas Ali said he joined the protest to show solidarity with | |
| Palestinian people after the Canadian government abstained from | |

| Pro-Palestinian protesters in dozens of cities | |
| The shows of solidarity | |
| "I don't feel like Western countries see the value of kids in | |

| "I feel like there's injustice." | |

| Jewish high school closes early after bomb threat | |

| The head of a private Jewish high school is speaking out after | |
| staff received an email Friday alluding to bombs on and around | |
| school property. | |
| Jonathan Levy said he and other administrative staff at The Anne | |
| & Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto in North | |
| York received an email after 11 a.m. that said there were a | |
| number of bombs "in or around the school" and that "many Jews | |
| were going to die today." | |
| "We are incredibly grateful for the response of Toronto police | |
| ... for the speed with which they have assisted us | |
| The incident is the second the school reported in the past few | |
| weeks. On Oct. 12., three males were arrested after allegedly | |
| making threats to the school. | |
| United Jewish Appeal Federation of Greater Toronto said its | |
| "concerned and outraged" at the incident. | |
| It said how the school handled the threat is "an example of the | |

| and a high level of readiness." | |

| Canadian Jewish community shocked over anti-Semitic school, | |
| synagogue attacks | |
| [quote] | |
| Lorne W., who preferred not to give his last name, told AFP he | |
| is "very, very, very much" concerned about the sudden uptick in | |
| hate directed at the province's Jewish community, which is one | |
| of the oldest and most populous in Canada. | |
| "Myself and my neighbors, we're very cautious and we're very | |
| hyperaware of what's going on in the streets. It makes us | |
| nervous," he said. | |
| a surge of anti-Semitic attacks that last week saw two Jewish | |
| schools in Montreal's Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood targeted at | |
| night by gunfire -- twice in one case -- and a synagogue | |
| firebombed a few days earlier in the suburb of | |
| Dollard-des-Ormeaux. | |
| For Diana Singal, a Hampstead resident out walking her dog, "it | |
| is scary. I might think of avoiding some Jewish institutions, | |
| because there might be some people that will just lash out." | |
| The streets of Hampstead, an upscale English-speaking | |
| municipality of 8,000 -- 75 percent of whom identified as Jewish | |
| in the last census, which was in 2021 | |
| The town hall is flying the Israeli flag at half-mast. | |
| "It is surprising" to see such aggressive acts in Canada, local | |
| rabbi Moishe New said. "We didn't expect it." | |
| Montreal police counted more anti-Semitic acts in the past month | |
| than in all of 2022. The same trend has been observed elsewhere | |
| in the world, including in several European countries. | |
| "We haven't seen this level of anti-Semitism in Montreal, ever," | |
| said Levi. | |

| [quote] | |
| A controversial queer activist has been suspended from | |
| employment at the Toronto District School Board � for the second | |
| time � over his obsessive anti-Israel and antisemitic posts on | |
| X. | |
| Javier DaVila, who calls himself a �queer Latinx award-winning | |
| educator� is an equity program advisor with the TDSB. | |
| He announced on Twitter Monday that he�d been suspended | |
| �minutes� after he called out the Centre for Israel and Jewish | |
| Affairs (CIJA) for allegedly making up lies about what students | |
| from Marc Garneau Collegiate said at a rally last Friday. | |
| one student cried, �Judah, Judah, you can�t hide� � Judah being | |
| a highly antisemitic term for Jew. | |
| The school board claimed at the time that they did not authorize | |
| or sanction his manuals and were also investigating his toxic | |
| tweets. | |
| he was returned to his duties a few months later | |
| Prioritizing a relationship with a political lobby group for an | |
| apartheid genocidal state (that's not even Canada) over the | |
| safety, rights & dignity of racialized students who are | |
| demanding justice for Palestinians, is not a good look for any | |
| school board. | |
| He appeared at another walkout this past Monday in which he | |
| claimed hundreds of students from the same high school walked to | |
| �demand a ceasefire, to end Israel�s genocide and to protest | |
| TDSB�s silence.� | |
| In response to his announcement about being suspended, a number | |
| of activists and radical Muslim sympathizers came on his Twitter | |
| feed expressing outrage. | |
| But DaVila, who appears to consider himself a Freedom Fighter, | |
| was tweeting obsessively before and since his suspension. | |
| We resist genocide, settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing & | |
| apartheid. Our liberations are connected. | |
| Davila, who is being represented by two lawyers who have | |
| defended antisemites in the past, has established a GoFundMe | |
| campaign to pay his legal bills against the B�nai Brith | |
| Davila says he�s taking legal action against the �pro-Israel | |

| the shots fired at schools, the assaults, the defacing of | |

| So what is at the root of this rising hatred? In a conversation, | |
| Shimon Fogel, chief executive officer of the Centre for Israel | |
| and Jewish Affairs, and I discussed several possibilities. | |
| One factor could be the arrival in recent years of tens of | |
| thousands of people who were victims of the Syrian civil war, | |
| the Taliban reconquest of Afghanistan and other calamities. | |
| These refugees come from a region where there is intense | |
| antipathy toward Israel. | |
| �I don�t think it is universal, but certainly within the | |
| ideologically driven, Islamist ranks of the community, evidence | |
| of hate, from the pulpit to the grassroots level, is clearly | |
| present,� Mr. Fogel believes. | |
| fundamentally we see Israel as a thriving democracy and a refuge | |
| for Jews | |
| Mr. Fogel speaks of �this binary notion that the root of all ill | |
| and evil in our society is white privilege, and the Jews are the | |
| poster child for white privilege.� | |
| The anger and emotion swirling online and in the streets over | |
| Jews and Israel threaten to undermine Canada�s multicultural | |
| consensus. Losing that consensus would be among the greatest | |
| [s]tragedies[/s] that could befall this country. | |
| Jews in Canada right now live in rising fear. Parents are afraid | |
| to send their children to school. College students face | |
| harassment and worse. Protesters are targeting Jewish businesses | |
| and community centres. | |
| Jews know where this leads. | |

| �He is risking Jewish safety�: Five Tweets responding to Justin | |
| Trudeau�s statement on Israel | |
| [quote] | |
| On November 14, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a | |
| prepared statement that called on Israel to exercise �maximum | |
| restraint� in its military response to Hamas�s terrorist | |
| attacks. He spoke of how �killing of women, children, and | |
| babies� in Gaza needs to stop. | |
| The prime minister�s statement drew criticism from across the | |
| political spectrum in Israel (including the country�s three most | |
| recent prime ministers) and among domestic voices who accused | |
| him of unfairly targeting Israel | |
| Trudeau�s polarizing statement drew several responses from | |
| Israeli leaders across the political spectrum who were united in | |
| their condemnations of the Canadian prime minister. | |
| Yair Lapid, another former prime minister and now leader of the | |
| opposition party in Israel who has called on Netanyahu to resign | |
| from office, found common ground with his political opponent on | |
| this issue and released his own statement on X in an attempt to | |
| counter Trudeau�s talking points. | |
| The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, which represents | |
| Jewish federations across Canada, echoed the statements of | |
| Netanyanhu, Bennett, and Lapid by noting that Trudeau�s rhetoric | |
| is harmful in the way that it encourages Hamas. | |

| [quote] | |
| Jewish Canadians are feeling vulnerable following a series of | |
| antisemitic incidents across the country. | |
| recent surge in violence expressed towards members of the Jewish | |
| faith has the community concerned for their safety. | |
| Rich Robertson, B�nai Brith Canada�s manager of research, told | |
| True North that Jewish Canadians are experiencing unprecedented | |
| anxiety. | |
| �Our community has gone from a period of devastation and | |
| mourning following the [s]terrorist[/s] attack on the morning of | |
| the seventh, to facing unprecedented anxiety ever experienced by | |
| the Canadian diaspora.� | |
| B�nai Brith operates an app, hotline and a website that allows | |
| Jewish Canadians to report and record acts or experiences of | |
| antisemitism. | |
| Since the October 7 [s]terrorist [/s]attack on civilians in | |
| Israel there has been an alarming increase of incidents directed | |
| towards Jewish Canadians. | |
| To address the safety concerns of Jewish Canadians, officials | |
| should �mitigate incitement at pro-Palestinian rallies,� | |
| Robertson said. | |
| �These rallies are fueling incitement | |
| A few weeks ago, a group of pro-Palestinian demonstators swarmed | |
| the Israeli coffeehouse Aroma while slapping �boycott� stickers | |
| on its windows. | |
| Last month, at a demonstration in Montreal, an imam, in Arabic, | |
| condemned �Zionist aggressors� and called on Allah to �kill the | |
| enemies of the people of Gaza and to spare none of them.� | |
| Madi Foglia, an 18-year-old Barrie resident said, that a recent | |
| pro-Palestinian rally in the city �had the Jewish community | |
| questioning the safety they thought they had here.� | |
| Last month Foglia had been putting up posters of missing and | |
| kidnapped Israeli women and children, when she noticed someone | |
| taking them down. | |
| �There is this [s]very twisted narrative[/s] that Jews are | |
| colonizers, that Hamas is only resisting occupation as a | |
| justification for the violence committed against communities | |
| world wide.� | |
| �Historically when we are scared for our well being, when we | |
| have to hide who we are, we disappear, and no one pays attention | |
| to Jewish suffering.� | |
