Canada’s Jews at minutes to midnight
A Bondi Beach tragedy can happen at any time- and if that happens, our leaders should be held responsible and accountable
The Bondi Beach massacre was avoidable. It was a direct consequence of Australia’s failure to confront the Jew-hatred festering in that country. The same antisemitism is being fostered here in Canada. There is a somewhat bizarre disillusioned partnership that Western Liberal leaders seem to have with the Jihadist movement, though every fibre of this ideology is opposed to the values of Canada. Australia, Canada, and others of the same ilk- have rewarded terrorism with the recognition of a Palestinian state which in turn has provided license to Jewish disenfranchisement. When 15 victims were murdered by a radicalized father-son team fulfilling their jihadist mission, it was as if Albanese, the Australian Prime Minister pulled the trigger.
I would rather be accused of Islamophobia than endure what is certainly coming. I cannot bear the guilt of remaining silent when the opportunity to speak has passed. That window is now. Every person of conscience has a responsibility to expose the fatal attraction with jihad. Looking back, the words “I did not know” will offer no consolation to those murdered.
I find that Canada is living in an alternate reality as its leaders will defy any sense of logic to allow Al Quds, a day of protest birthed by the father of terrorism, Iran’s previous supreme leader, Khamenei. To allow these demonstrations to proceed in a time where a just war against Iran is underway, where the threats to Jews is at its highest; it is as if we are rolling out the red carpet for antisemetic action.
The goal to Islamize the world could not be more obvious. We are at the tipping point where “should have, could have, would have” will be whispered in hushed corners of a world overtaken by global jihad. The bizarre alliance between Western Marxist activists and jihadist movements—united not by shared values, but by a shared enemy: liberal democracy, the West, and the Jewish state—threatens the very foundations of our civilization.
We are living through a systemic anti-Jewish campaign building for years. October 7th launched what had been simmering in society’s underbelly—blatant, arrogant displays of anti-Jewish protests flooding streets and public spaces everywhere.
I recently interviewed Dr. Mordecai Kedar, on my podcast, the Unfiltered View. Professor Kedar is a retired Lieutenant Colonel with 25 years in Israeli intelligence and a leading expert on Islam. He identifies the Islamist movement as a coordinated global effort demanding total submission to God’s will. He explains that global jihad is misunderstood in both timing and rationale. Islamists plan well beyond individual lifetimes, while Western culture forecasts only the foreseeable future.
“The sanctity of life is a far lower priority for Islamic world domination,” Kedar notes. “The end justifies whatever means necessary.”
Our Educational institutions have become ground zero for Islamic global movements. Qatari funds have flowed for years through organizations receiving accreditation from cash-strapped systems. The rewriting of history, reversal of victim status, and anti-Jewish narratives now manifest in the next generation’s curriculum.
Recent examples: The Toronto District School Board acknowledged “Anti-Palestinian Racism.” The book “We are Palestinian: a Celebration of Culture and Tradition” frames the 1948 Arab-Israel war as “the catastrophe—the Nakba”. Teachers took their students on field trips to join anti-Israel protests, encouraging political chanting. These policies indoctrinate students with one-sided views against Israel and Jewish people. Dissenters are shunned into silence.
The infiltration runs deeper into public and corporate services than anyone admits. Anti-Jewish sentiment creates an unsustainable future where Jews face discrimination and harassment, where rights and safety are violated.
“Jews will be denied education,” Alan Dershowitz stated in a recent interview with me. “Universities will mirror Munich in the 1930s”—violence, intimidation, exclusion, and widespread antisemitism locking out Jewish students and teachers.
On an Air Canada flight, I was forced to experience a flight attendant wearing a “from the river to the sea.” symbol. Call me crazy but At 35,000 feet we have been here before.
Mezuzahs were ripped from a Toronto Jewish senior residence. A visibly Jewish Montreal man was beaten before his children, his kippah removed, spat on, and tossed into a fountain. Throngs of protestors took over Toronto’s Eaton Centre, intimidating shoppers with shouts of “Free, free Palestine!”; “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”; “We demand intifada” / “Intifada right now” cries for violence against Jews - a massive banner calling for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was unfurled. In three separate recent incidents, Toronto synagogues bare the distinct spider impression having been sprayed by bullets.
A website which effectively hunts Jews. FindIDFsoldiers.net publishes lists of Canadians who served as lone soldiers in Israel’s IDF, along with their families. My son and I are on this list. Despite complaints to all levels of government, no one will shut down this incitement to hatred.
Ninety years ago, Nazi Germany compiled Jewish lists and meticulously recorded their murder.
Violence, targeting, exclusion, and double standards result directly from failed enforcement by police and courts. The normalization and demonization of Jews aims to create moral indifference. Islamist influence learned well from the Nazi propaganda machine.
Canada is at its tipping point, the markings of a tragic event are being written. As I write this article there is an active shooter being reported at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Michigan. What more needs to happen before our government leaders and policing recognize we have a real threat here to the Jewish people of this country.
At Bondi Beach, the individual who heroically confronted and disarmed the attacker was a Muslim—Ahmed al-Ahmed, a Syrian-Australian who acted without regard for his own safety, was shot twice, and survived. His courage likely saved many Jewish lives. I want to believe—and largely do—that the majority of Muslims living in Canada support Canadian values and seek lives of peace, dignity, and prosperity. The concern I raise is not with peaceful migration, but with irresponsible and inadequate screening in an era of global jihadist violence.
According to official Canadian government statements, over 1,750 individuals who exited Gaza passed security screening by July 8, 2025. A Global News investigation cited intelligence alleging over 450 have direct Hamas associations. These individuals are highly probable to radicalize others and plan or carry out domestic terrorism.
Canada’s border security lapses repeatedly allowed individuals with terrorist ties to enter. In 2024, Egyptian immigrant Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi and his son were arrested for plotting an ISIS-inspired Toronto attack, despite the father’s appearance in ISIS propaganda—a glaring vetting failure. Pakistani student Muhammad Shahzeb Khan entered Canada in 2023 and was apprehended in 2024 en route to execute an ISIS attack on Jews in New York. These incidents amplify concerns about Canada’s temporary resident visa program for Gazans.
Dr. Kedar and similar Israeli security experts would likely characterize Canada as facing moderate-to-high latent threat—masked by social calm but enabled by permissive conditions. Canada’s own political culture increasingly acknowledges high terror risk: if individuals with histories of terrorist involvement or radical network ties enter undetected or inadequately monitored, they will contribute to further radicalization, recruitment, and operational planning. Democratic societies are uniquely vulnerable to such threats when vigilance is subordinated to political or moral hesitation.
Failure to acknowledge these risks—to confront antisemitic rhetoric, resist the normalization of anti-Israel incitement, and enforce the rule of law without fear or favoritism—stands in direct opposition to the very security institutions tasked with protecting Canadians. As hostility toward Jews is increasingly licensed, excused, or ignored, the conditions that enable violence are steadily reinforced. History leaves little ambiguity about where such neglect leads.
If Canada experiences its own Bondi Beach, there will be no refuge in claims of ignorance. Governments at every level have been warned. The evidence is overwhelming. The patterns are clear. The question now is simple: will they listen—or will they wait until Jewish blood is spilled on Canadian soil before taking the threat seriously?

Thank God I don’t live in Canada but was recently on an Air Canada flight ( I am a Hindu) and the lady at the gate was wearing a hijab and a pin with the same symbol you mention. I wrote and complained about the pin, saying no political symbols should be allowed. Of course, I got no answer. https://substack.com/home/post/p-179989240
Yes, Yes and Yes! If there had not been an armed security guard at the Temple Israel Synagogue in Michigan - who was able to stop the perpetrator with a bullet - there would have been scores of horrific deaths, including of young children. Canadian Jews are a soft target for these violent, blood-thirsty Jihadists. We need armed guards at ALL Canadian Jewish community centers and places of worship, NOW.
We warned Canadian politicians and law enforcement for YEARS that their appeasement of violent rhetoric was emboldening the jihadists and violence would follow. The violence has arrived in Canada. Deaths will follow in short order unless significant deterrent action is taken immediately.
CANADA
- Stop enabling the indoctrination!
- Stop enabling and excusing the violent vilification of your Jewish citizens!
- ACT NOW to protect your Jewish citizens from the violent expressions of Jihad, which you have enabled for years.
Jews will start leaving Canada en masse, the country in whose name we have had an enormously positive impact over the past 150 years. History shows that countries who lose their Jewish population - we who value education, hard work, family values, charity, and making positive contributions to the society - those countries become less tolerant and poorer for that loss. Poorer economically, politically, educationally and spiritually.
