    Since October 7th, I have witnessed a total of one instance of open anti-Semitism around me. Some man (who might have had BPD) was shouting hate towards Jews on the Vancouver SkyTrain, but apparently later apologized after calming down according to another person I was with.

    So it’s out there, but not nearly as common as the media portrays it.

      This article is more focused on Selina Robinson’s resignation. She alleged extreme internal antisemitism within the NDP but is either in denial over how hate filled her statements were or just wants to try and cynically cover her ass. Selina Robinson was a rather good minister - my wife worked with her a while back, but it’s unconscionable to keep someone in government who expresses such hatred and lacks the backbone to walk back those statements while a genocide is ongoing in Isreal.
