Antisemitic incidents on the rise
Antisemitic incidents are still on the rise in Canada – with the highest numbers in Quebec, many of them from Montreal, although B’nai Brith appears to feel that student criticism of Israel is by definition antisemitic so that may be adding to the numbers.

Some of it is, some of it isn’t. Some of it is simply a way of hiding anti-semitism in what appears to be polite conversation. Are they also condemning the occupation of Northern Ireland, Northern Cyprus, Crimea, Western Sahara, Transnistria, etc? Not to mention Kashmir, Jammu, Sabah, Gibraltar, etc. And should we even mention Hawaii, which was forced into the US without even a plebiscite?
Should we mention that Israel is under 75% Jewish. The rest being Christians, Muslims, Druze, and others.

Hawaii was forced into the US under the rifles of a squad of Marines on behalf of the Dole family… But yeah, international colonialism is kind of a hot topic on campuses these days, hadn’t you noticed? Difference is I don’t recall anyone threatening lawsuits or accusing anyone of racism over people denouncing the occupation of all those other places…

Ian… because hardly anyone ever mentions the other occupations. Haven’t seen a “Free Jammu” sign.
