The unfolding narrative of antisemitism in Canada under Justin Trudeau’s leadership paints a troubling picture of societal and institutional erosion. In a deep investigation, the escalating hatred toward Jewish communities is traced back to the normalization of anti-Zionist rhetoric and the failures of government and educational institutions to address it. From York University professor Sarah Rugheimer’s firsthand experience with swastika-covered posters and campus hostility to acts of synagogue vandalism and threats against Jewish students, the piece reveals a chilling pattern of increasing hostility. Shockingly, even liberal political circles have embraced “Anti-Palestinian Racism,” a framework that brands foundational Jewish and Zionist beliefs as inherently racist.

This atmosphere of fear and targeted hate is compounded by Canada’s immigration policies and a rise in ideologies that conflate anti-Zionism with progressive values. The Jewish community’s sense of security has been shattered, with hate crimes soaring by 670% since October 2023 and law enforcement stretched thin. As antisemitism weaves into Canada’s political fabric, liberal leaders like Selina Robinson have faced severe backlash for deviating from accepted narratives. The broader concern isn’t just the Jewish community’s safety—it’s a warning about the fragility of Western values under the strain of unchecked hatred and divisive politics.
