No Country For Anyone

 IE - Canada:

The Israeli National Security Council (NSC) has raised the travel alert level for Canada from Level 1 to Level 2, warning of a growing security threat to Israelis and Jews in the country. The decision comes in light of a series of recent incidents targeting Jewish institutions and individuals, as well as an increasingly hostile public atmosphere.

According to a statement released by the NSC on Sunday, the past 18 months have seen several attacks against Jewish community centers and institutions across Canada. These include shootings, Molotov cocktail attacks, and a surge in direct threats against both Jewish and Israeli targets. In response, the NSC is urging all Israelis either currently in Canada or planning to travel there to heighten their awareness, avoid public displays of Jewish or Israeli symbols, and exercise increased caution in public spaces.

The advisory also addresses concerns about planned protests taking place today, May 25, in Canadian cities such as Toronto and Waterloo. These demonstrations, organized by anti-Israel groups, are set to coincide with rallies in support of Israel.

The NSC warned that the discourse surrounding these events has become more extreme in recent days, with certain statements possibly amounting to incitement to violence against Israelis and Jews attending the rallies.

In light of these developments, the NSC is calling on individuals participating in pro-Israel events to adhere strictly to the guidance of local police and security personnel. Attendees are urged to avoid confrontations with counter-demonstrators and to remain vigilant throughout.

 

Why would anyone want to come to a country where the taxes are high, the prices are inflated, the tourist sector is riddled with unvetted migrants that the taxpayer has to support, where interlopers befoul beaches, and the government (which applauded a Ukrainian Nazi) is actively against you?

Boycott Canada.

Antisemitism is exploding on our streets, on our campuses, and in our institutions. In the past year alone, my parents’ synagogue has been vandalized half a dozen times. Jewish day schools have been shot at. A swastika has been scrawled on a Jewish home. Jewish-owned businesses are routinely targeted by protesters. At Concordia, McGill and the University of Toronto, Jewish students have been harassed, silenced or surrounded by anti-Israel mobs.

And while Canadian leaders are quick to offer platitudes, they have failed to provide solutions. It’s only a matter of time before the calls for violence turn into actual violence.

This is not just a Jewish issue. It’s a Canadian one. Because when Jews are no longer safe, no one is. Hatred that festers unchecked eventually devours everything in its path. It corrodes the public square and breaks civic trust. And it gives licence to people who believe they are justified or obligated to act on their rage.

 

 

Just because one hates Israel, that doesn't meant that one shouldn't make money off of it

The Canada Pension Plan tripled wartime investments in Israel even as dozens of MPs demanded an international boycott of Jewish industry. Pension managers put more than a third of a billion in Israel from banks to supermarkets: ‘We navigate these turbulent times.’
