Peloni: Ron East provides an important and very well documented resource depicting the rise of Jew Hatred across Canada which of course carries with it an important question about how criminal Hate Crimes against the Jews might be judged in Canada. Indeed, we are at a point where it will be determined if there will indeed be two forms of justice pursued in Canada, with the dividing line resting with Jews on one side, and their Gentile neighbors on the other. Has the mark of equality before the law in the Great North been mislaid amid the burgeoning campaign of Jew Hatred gripping the world, and Canada in particular, or will we see justice executed according a fair weighing of the evidence described, even as the chanting mobs sing out their manufactured songs of blood libels against the Jewish people. Of course, the answer to the question “will justice be done?” will have a bearing to both the Canadian Jews as well as their Gentile neighbors, as the Jews are only the canary in the coal mine, and the loss of institutionalized justice, and this is true for both Canada and for the Western World in general.
In just three weeks, Canada has seen suspected arson, attacks on Jewish institutions, antisemitic chants, arrests, hate-propaga nda prosecutions and disturbing new evidence about Jewish life on university campuses. The question is no longer whether Canada has an antisemitism problem. It is whether governments and institutions are prepared to confront it.

An Israeli cultural pavilion at Edmonton’s Heritage Festival faced a frightening incident involving a knife. An Israeli soccer player was subjected to antisemitic abuse during a Major League Soccer match in Montréal.
