A petition pushing for investigations into and even charges against Canadians who served in Israel’s military is an “antisemitic witch hunt,” says a Jewish advocacy group. “Canadian IDF veterans are no different than any other foreign veterans who have made Canada their home,” said Wolle. “Malicious attempts to prosecute them contribute to an environment where Jewish and Zionist Canadians are increasingly persecuted for their beliefs. It makes me more all the more proud,” the 48-year-old told National Post. It has always been about targeting.”In February 2025, National Post reported on a publication that created a list of Canadian Jews who served in the IDF.
