This was my school growing up in Toronto. The antisemitism is just relentless: this week’s threats at a Jewish school and the shooting in Edmonton. Never imagined this reality in Canada in 2024. https://lnkd.in/gMTpmqZX
when we were kids at AHDS, some boys rode by on their bikes while we were playing in the yard and whipped rotten eggs at us, while yelling anti-semitic things. i was the lucky recipient… and i never forgot it. but today, 45 years later, it is so much scarier.
It’s terrible this wave of antisemitism and terrible the flacid response from politicians
Harassing children at their school is not acceptable.
I am so heartbroken Professor Geist.
I feel like I’ve been screaming into the void about this contagious and all-consuming hatred for months. Can the world just not recognize the danger we’re in? Do people not realize that this is exactly how it happened before? And that it very much has the potential to happen again? I don’t even know what else to say.
