If the Israeli election returns a version of the current coalition, we can expect widening rifts between Canada and Israel, between Canadian Jews and other Canadians, and within the Jewish community itself
Canadian Jews feel stressed.We love Canada. Not only the grandeur of its geography but the tolerance, sensibility and rich diversity of its people. Canada has been good for us, and we’ve been good for Canada. But the sharp rise in antisemitism in its varied forms alarms us. We worry about the safety of our schools and synagogues, the future of our children.
