Anti-Racism • November 27, 2023 • Judy HaivenIt may seem crude to compare the ravages of Islamophobia with the problem of antisemitism in Canada. I’m looking at the antisemitic incidents since October 7, 2023, which have spiked. In its 2021 Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents, B‘nai Brith claims the cumulative total of violent antisemitic incidents for the entire five-year period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020 was 61. And yet, improbably, according to B’nai Brith Canada, Canada leads the US in antisemitic incidents by a staggering factor. He noted that there were 15 antisemitic incidents reported between October 7 and October 25.
