Since the Hamas invasion of Israel to massacre Jews on Oct. 7, 2023, there has been an eruption of public Jew-hatred in Canada. The most recent example occurred this past weekend, at the start of Passover, when “pro-Palestinian” demonstrations took place on Parliament Hill during which an officer was spat upon, in Edmonton blocking a bridge, while in Montreal, just ahead of Passover, “demonstrators” vandalized Concordia University’s Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies.
