Richard Robertson holds up an Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents in Canada in Ottawa on Monday, May 6, 2024. Antisemitism in Canada exploded last year as the war unfolding in Israel and Gaza was used to "justify" the targeting of Jews in Canada, B'nai Brith said Monday as it released its latest report on antisemitism.
Robertson said 77 violent incidents were recorded, more than three times the number in 2022. That included firebombings and shootings at Jewish schools, synagogues and community centres. "The systemic nature of the antisemitism has forced Canadian Jews to question the continued vitality of the nation's Jewish communities," he said. "For perhaps the first time there was a genuine concern that the Jewish Canadian narrative … is at risk of being subject to erasure."
"In a country like Canada, it should be and it must be safe to declare oneself a Zionist, Jewish or not," he said.
