Read the article. It’s claiming that all Canadian Jews are Zionists.
By pretending all criticism of the Israeli government is directed at Jewish people in general,
I’m not pretending, Read the fucking article. It’s saying that Canadian Jews are all Zionists.
Synagogues are getting shot at all the time in Canada. There were three of these events that occurred the week the Ayatollah was killed. It’s pretty obvious the “anti-Zionists” are targeting Jews in Canada. It’s not me thinking Canadian Jews are the same as Israeli Jews, it’s the “anti-Zionists” that think this.
Read the article. It telling the anti-zionist crowd that it’s ok to target Canadian Jews. The majority of racist attacks in Canada target Jews. Antisemitism is very real in Canada and it’s being perpetrated by people that claim to be “anti-zionists”. And now people are rationalizing why attacking Jews in Canada is perfectly acceptable because “they’re all zionists”.
This is just how hate groups work. There’s a target for hate, say a black man that raped a woman. We all agree that’s terrible. Then the target of hatred becomes broader. Maybe it’s all black criminals. Then it becomes broader, maybe it’s black people that dress a certain way or talk a certain way. Then eventually it’s just hating black people.
That’s what’s happening here. You start out “just criticzing Israel”. Then you’re hating some people in the IDF committing war crimes, then it’s all of the IDF, then it’s all Israelis. Now you’re explanding to hating Jews in Canada. If you’re hating Canadian Jews, you’re not “just criticizing Israel”, you’re being straight up antisemitic. Especially considering the context of that racist violence that’s happening to Jews in Canada already. You’re throwing more fuel on the fire of antisemitism.
Try as you will to rationalize your way out of this, I don’t care. If you’re pushing narratives that result in violent attacks against Jews in Canada, you’re an antisemite. Go to the US and live among the bigots there, you don’t belong in Canada.
I read the article. It’s not the best prose, but it’s well-sourced, and I didn’t detect any falsehoods. The article doesn’t excuse or condone, and least of all does it encourage, violence toward Jews. It simply describes, among other things, prevailing attitudes toward Israel, and the actions thereof, among Canadian Jews.
Accurately describing the attitudes held by Canadian Jews toward Israel does not constitute anti-Semitism. Identifying as a Jew does not give anyone a free pass to support genocide without being subject to criticism.
Claiming that criticism of Zionism will inevitably lead to anti-Semitism is transparently fallacious. Zionism is a political ideology, not a religion or an ethnicity. Based on the available data, conflating Zionism with Judaism will only serve to increase anti-Jewish sentiment in Canada, and presumably elsewhere. If that isn’t your goal, you’re going about things the wrong way.
