Simon Wolle, CEO of B'nai Birth Canada, discusses the alarming rise of antisemitism across Canada. He examines how online platforms have normalized hatred, the troubling conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism, and why this represents a broader threat to Canadian values. He also argues that antisemitism is evolving into new forms while maintaining historical patterns of Jewish demonization, and calls for urgent action, including digital literacy strategies and stronger law enforcement mechanisms to combat hate.
