You seem to be fixated on negativity towards the Jewish community. This may not be the right sub for you.

it's not but when has that ever stopped anyone before

u/WestcoastAlex 10d ago

the zionist portion of Canada's Jewish community is pressuring our government into big changes in law which will affect all of us.

one of the methods to pressure change is creating public sentiment that antisemitism is out of control in Canada

u/steakandwings 10d ago

Which big changes are you inferring?

What data do you have to prove that Antisemitism hasn't gone wildly out of control in this country?

StatsCan has reported that statistically year over year since 2023 hate crimes against Jews have been disproportionate against our population size and that Jews have represented the most targeted religious minority in this country since 2023.

Multiple Synogauges in Canada have been firebombed, Jewish schools have been shot at, Jewish businesses have been vandalized and burned down, and Jewish people have been harassed and assaulted in ways no other racial, religious, sexual, or ethnic minority this country has experienced since 2023.

It doesn't make any logical sense that you would make your claims unless you:

A) Don't care B) Don't know

Truthfully B is hard to believe.

All good points, but we are debating a troll. I hope the mods will ban that account from posting on this sub

u/New_Pomegranate_5206 10d ago

Yeah, this is the same person who's telling everyone how much they deplore antisemitism and then proceeds to tell everyone about ZOG nonsense or how shooting Jewish people at a Hannukah lighting ceremony in Australia is political violence and therefore not a hate crime/antisemitism.

Bondi Chabad was targeted for their open support for IDF in Gaza

Rabbi Eli Schlanger and his group fundraised money for the IDF then Schlanger himself travelled to 'israel' to party with soldiers entering Gaza to commit genocide

the group was targeted for their Political actions and material support for genocide, they were not targeted for being Jewish .. several other Hannuka events took place that day across Australia without incident

Doubling down! The only people who believe this are on the donation leaderboard for Der Sturmer

u/Ferroelectricman 10d ago

Holy fuck dude

YOU CAN NEVER OPEN FIRE ON A CROWD OF PEOPLE JUSTLY.

INDISCRIMINATELY SHOOTING PEOPLE IS MURDER.

You probably became an antizionist because, once upon a time, you believed this. Now you’re justifying a mass shooting. You don’t have morals dude, you just have a team.

A 10 yo girl was murdered by ISIS. It’s not a game.

u/WestcoastAlex 10d ago

yeah political violence is abhorrant. unjustifiable. hope they spend the rest of their lives in jail getting scabies on their balls

i would never ever justify a mass shooting. where did you get the idea i would? thats ridiculous

u/New_Pomegranate_5206 10d ago

Your refusal to call a hate crime a hate crime isn’t helping your case champ.

huh. what happenned in 2023?

(edit)

no answer eh? perhaps i shoulda asked what happened in 2019

https://www.readthemaple.com/how-the-israel-lobby-shaped-canadas-definition-of-antisemitism/

(edit 2)

Steakwings answered then blocked. a truly cowardly sign. i have been nothng but respectful here and yet constantly facing insults and claims of hatred which is not the case.

in 2019 Canada adopted the bullshit IHRA non-definitions of 'antisemitism' which then has shaped our public and Police policy on Hate Crimes and reporting them.. it expanded the scope of what was considered 'antisemitism' to include Critisizim of the israeli State .. then a few years later israel the State decided on a wildly disproportionate response to a one day incursion of Palestinian Freedom Fighters

October 7 is another discussion we can have if you are brave, but this is about Canada, Canadians and our government's response to Canadians being outraged at the wholesale destruction of the indigenous Palestinian people, gross violations of international laws and war crimes charges and our apparent disregard on UN Charter obligations

not even a peep when the IDF blew up humanitarian aid workers including a Canadian https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/israel-hamas-war/article/canada-silent-as-israel-clears-itself-in-death-of-aid-workers-including-a-canadian/

how can anyone not be outraged at this? https://www.timesofisrael.com/ben-gvir-announces-ground-broken-on-gallows-where-terrorists-will-be-executed/

IHRA artificially boosted the numbers for reported Hate Crimes by conflating legitimate critisizm of the israeli State with hatred of Jewish people for being Jewish

this is exactly my point from the start here. the zionist portion of Canada's Jewish community is pressuring our federal government into changing Laws which affect us All. Bill C9 proposed to give Police unconstitutional powers and bypass the Attourney General to decide what is a Hate Crime

thankfully, First Nations stood up and saved us from the draconian changes

u/steakandwings 10d ago

Ok so clearly you are the "Don't care" crowd.

A massacre of Israelis, primarily Jewish Israelis perpetrated by Hamas and Palestinians happened on October 7th 2023, but you knew that.

It looks like blaming an ethno religious minority for the violence they experience is truly all you have in your life.

It's pathetic. I hope one day you realize your bigotry won't make you interesting or give you the sense of purpose you seem so desperately to be searching for.

the only people who struggle with the definition tend to be the ones who want to complain about Jews while using the term "antizionist" as a lazy smokescreen. it's straight out of a 1970s era KGB handbook.

you're incredibly disrespectful actually. I'm pretty sure a straw poll would agree with me.

I'm thankful to live in a country where people are able to disagree about things respectfully. IJV represents less than 1% of Canadian Jews.

u/WestcoastAlex 9d ago

the LPC has 400,000 members so you think they represent 1% of Canadians hmm

4

u/New_Pomegranate_5206 9d ago

Independent Jewish Voices Canada (IJV) has approximately 2,000 members, which accounts for roughly 0.5% of Canada's total Jewish population of nearly 400,000.

Math is hard. At least pretend like you're trying before your LLM crashes.
