The explosion in antisemitic fervour did not suddenly appear out of nowhere. Rather, it has emerged out of an ideology that has become increasingly embedded in our social institutions and manipulated by Islamic radicals to co-opt masses of useful idiots.
This ideology is used to fuel hostility toward Jews and other supposedly “white adjacent” minorities, such as Hindu- and Chinese-Canadians. It emerges from a simplistic oppressor-oppressed ideology, which has gained prominence over the last few years and now dominates many institutions and sectors of Canadian society. It holds that we can neatly designate identity groups as either “privileged” or “marginalized” based on skin colour, average household incomes or educational achievement.
We can’t fight Jew hatred without fighting the ideology that fuels it

By contrast, under this ideological framework, members of Indigenous communities, Muslims, Black Canadians and trans people, among others, are all considered “oppressed.” Anything they do or say against their “privileged oppressors,” including Jews, or for the benefit of other “oppressed” groups, including Palestinians in Gaza, is thus justified?
If we’ve learned anything in recent years, it’s that deferring to radical ideology begets more and crazier forms of that ideology. Take, for example, the Toronto District School Board’s (TDSB) embrace of “anti-Palestinian racism,” or APR. APR absurdly holds that challenging the Palestinian narrative of “the Nakba,” or catastrophe, of Israel’s creation can be a form of racism against Palestinians.
Last week, in the face of unprecedented antisemitism sparked by radical Islamists over the past year, it was revealed by the Heritage Ministry that Elghawaby had let loose another extremist tirade in late August. She sent a letter to university and college heads stating they should hire more Muslim, Arab and Palestinian professors. The very people who — to a great extent — have incited the antisemitism we have been witnessing. The very people who have supported the occupation of college campuses across North America.
She had the audacity to write that,”since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in October 2023, a dangerous climate has arisen on campuses.” Without a word on who started the “dangerous climate.” It wasn’t started by Jewish students. Aside from her hiring call, she suggested briefing campus leaders, “on civil liberties and Islamophobia.” Though Canada has seen a slight increase in anti-Islamic incidents it pales in comparison to the more than 300% increase in antisemitic incidents as documented by the League for Human Rights.

It adds that hiring of professors has to be based on their “excellence and competence,” and “certainly not based on their religion.”

Rather than fighting discrimination, she has only served to fuel the hatred on our streets
