I want to thank @vicpdcanada & the @bcprosecution for holding Khalid El Boyok accountable for inciting antisemitic hate. Sadly, @StatCan_eng numbers show our community is 25x more likely to experience a hate crime compared to other Canadians. 1/2 #bcpoli ctvnews.ca/vancouver/vanc…
Last year, a Jewish Canadian was 25 times more likely to experience a hate crime than any other Canadian. Our CEO @nshack says that the numbers don’t paint the full picture. Click the link to read more: globalnews.ca/news/11300254/…
In the last days, we have seen countless posts from Quebecers calling out a glaring double standard. For nearly two years, while the City of Montreal has has condemned antisemitism it has not taken concrete action against those chanting “death to Jews,” glorifying terror,…
If you’re going to allow “death to Jews” marches in Montreal for two years, this type of city response seems insane.
Canada has been on the record: Hamas must have no future in Gaza. Today, the Prime Minister committed to taking steps to make this a reality. Here's the path forward: Pressure on Hamas to release all Israeli hostages. No actions that embolden Hamas to continue its campaign of…
With another UN Conference taking place in New York, Former President Biden's Mideast Envoy, @Brett_McGurk has an important warning for the delegates: don't empower Hamas.

According to the latest @StatCan_eng data, Jewish Canadians are the number one target of hate crimes. This is not only a threat to our community, but to the values all Canadians hold dear. Go to actionhub.ca and call your MP. Tell them how you feel about…
As our CEO @nshack shared, we all want to see a ceasefire agreement reached. Israel accepted the deal — but mediators report that Hamas is acting in bad faith. Yet the Prime Minister condemned Israel and called on “both sides” to negotiate in good faith. This only serves to…
To launch Pride in Montreal, @CIJAQC, Ga'ava, and @IsraelaMTL hosted the 10th Annual Pride Cocktail Party — celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and our shared fight against homophobia and antisemitism in Quebec. Thank you to the dignitaries, allies, and friends who joined us.…
We all want to see the hostages returned, the humanitarian situation in Gaza resolved, and a ceasefire agreement reached. Tragically, negotiations collapsed today, with mediators concluding that while Israel agreed, Hamas was acting in bad faith. Despite these developments,…
Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are…
All students and staff have the right to be safe in Ontario schools. Jewish students are being harassed, excluded, and dehumanized—by their peers and, in some cases, by their teachers. When antisemitic incidents occur, administrators are failing to hold school staff accountable.…
Extremely disappointing. Israel agreed to a ceasefire, while Hamas responded with more violence. Just days ago, Hamas thanked Canada and other countries for a one-sided statement that positioned Israel as the sole party at fault for the conflict. Today, yet again, we’re seeing…
BREAKING: Trump envoy Witkoff says the U.S. team is cutting short Gaza ceasefire talks in Qatar because Hamas is not "acting in good faith." apnews.com/article/mideas…
Kneecap's promotion of terrorism and hate speech poses a public safety risk to any country in which they perform. This is why all Canadians should be concerned about their upcoming performances in Canada. Visit ActionHub.ca to send the government a message.
When any community is targeted because of who they are, it erodes the values all Canadians count on. @HenMazzig highlighted the urgent reality Jewish Canadians are facing. That’s why we need our leaders to step up with impactful measures. Learn more in our CEO @nshack statement:…

Every child has the right to be safe at school. Head to Actionhub.ca and tell the government: stop antisemitism in Ontario classrooms. actionhub.ca/stop-antisemit…
Following the release of a federal report confirming widespread antisemitism within Ontario's schools, we wrote to the Government of Ontario, urging them to develop and implement a strategy to stop antisemitism in our classrooms. Jewish students are being harassed, excluded, and…
