End Jew hatred in our schools – here’s how

In recent days, plenty has been happening in respect of the Israel-Hamas war. The Middle Eastern conflict is a firehose of news, with several major developments flooding onto newspaper front pages every morning.

Notably, there has been the recent monstrous decision of Canada, and others, to officially recognize Palestine, a “state” run by a designated terrorist entity. That move has (a) shown Hamas that terrorism pays dividends (b) persuaded Israel that compromise is a waste of time, ramping up settlements in the West Bank and (c) prompted U.S. president Donald Trump to warn that Canada has jeopardized trade negotiations by legitimizing a terror group.

At the local level, too, plenty of bad stuff has been happening. On university, college and school campuses in particular. Since October 7, 2023, educational institutions have witnessed an explosion in Jew hatred – in Canada, and around Western democracy.

Just on Thursday alone, there have been these reports:

• Western University has abandoned an investigation into a secret online group chat where its “pro-Palestinian” students promoted Hitler, discussed making a “yahoodi” (Jew) list, and declared that “Allah will burn” Jews.
• Concordia University’s student handbook no longer recognizes Christmas or Canada Day – but highlights pro-Palestinian and far-Left milestones, and has a Palestinian flag on its cover.
• Metropolitan University saw masked pro-Palestinian types violently attempt to disrupt a speech by the federal minister for artificial intelligence – who happens to be a Jew.

Education has become a minefield for Canadian Jews and those who support them. So, a group called End Jew Hatred has launched a campaign to, as they put it, “end hatred in education.”

The civil rights campaign was launched in New York last week, and is aimed at confronting “rising antisemitism, radicalization, and ideological indoctrination” in schools. The Canadian arm of the campaign will start in the coming days.
