We often travel long distances looking for things that we could have found in our own backyards.
If you don't know by now, I am a strong, proud, Jewish activist! I have posted about various topics over the years but the main reason I blog, send emails, attend rallies, go to lectures, etc., is to counter the vicious antisemitism that sadly has attacked all corners of the world. So today I'm going back to my roots.
Right here in my beautiful, internationally acclaimed city, the largest and most diverse city in Canada, Toronto, antisemitism has flourished! The oldest form of bigotry in the world, the hatred of Jews has been allowed to grow much like that little corner of your shower that might have a bit of mold a year ago or longer but has been ignored until finally today it has spread all over the shower walls. To the point that one can't shower any more until the mold is eradicated.
In the past couple of weeks I have been forced to write numerous emails about antisemitic behaviour that is occurring right under my nose. Where exactly? In our schools. Arguably the worst place to let it grow. Because schools are where children learn. The education we give them determines their morals, ethics and views on so many things. If we teach them the wrong things, they will behave accordingly. If we teach them to hate blacks, odds are they will hate blacks. If we teach them to hate Jews, they mostly likely will. This isn't rocket science.
So who's to blame? All of us. Of course the main culprits are the antisemites themselves. And boy, they are many! But regular citizens like you and me have failed. For the most part, we have buried our heads in the sand and are oblivious of the rampant antisemitism that has spread across our schools right here at home. Sure some of us might realize the obvious antisemitism that Israeli Jews face every day. They are in a constant existential fight with so many Muslims and others who not only hate them, but want them dead. Sadly Israelis have been killed in large and small numbers since her modern day recreation in 1948.
But many of us, whether we are Jewish or not, are not aware about the ongoings with our school system. The TDSB (Toronto District School Board) has been simmering for years with antisemitism. Meanwhile I would bet that this is not common knowledge. Like the mold in the shower analogy, we can't shower anymore. I mean, we can't send our kids to school anymore. Of course we can, but should we? One of my favourite mentors, Dennis Prager, had warned parents about sending their kids to university. He cited so many cases where parents paid tons of money to send their kids to college with high hopes that their kids would return as mature young adults loaded with the required education and skills to make a living in the careers of their choosing. But instead their kids came home loaded with Leftist ideology and antisemitism. Even Jewish students are brainwashed to hate Israel and to attribute to Israel some of the most outrageous lies ever promulgated. Their educators, an oxymoron if I ever heard one, were themselves brainwashed and were on a mission to get the next generation of haters on their side. Jews are an easy people to hate. Because we are more or less peaceful. Whereas other minorities like Blacks have lately become associated with some nasty violent organizations like BLM. So many people, organizations and governments have bought their propaganda and refuse to even look at their astounding violent behaviour and threats. If even the smallest hint of anti-Black racism was discovered at the TDSB, there would be an immediate outcry and believe me, heads would role.
Likewise if anti-Muslim racism was discovered at TDSB, all hell would break loose. And perhaps heads would role, literally. I will never forget how just this past summer, downtown Toronto was taken over by tens of thousands of radical Muslims and their supporters looking for trouble. A peaceful protest, it wasn't. And hardly anyone noticed it or wanted to.
Us Jews are a very small minority in Toronto. There are pockets in the greater area that have a high percentage of Jews but overall, certainly compared to most other minorities, we are tiny. We can't expect others to speak up for our us. We are responsible for our own well being. Last I heard, we still live in a free, democratic, society. But if we do nothing, we'll lose that. Now is the time to speak out. As I've written ad nauseam, a simple email is so easy to do. And if we write enough of them and send them to the media, our politicians, the schools, organizations, companies and the individuals who need them, we can affect change. I wrote this email to our TDSB trustees the other day:
Subject: Please reject the unjust censure of Trustee Alexandra Lulka
Dear Toronto District School Board Trustees,
It has become obviously apparent to me that your board has a problem with Jews. There have been far too many issues recently that have highlighted this serious racist behaviour.
The latest attempt by your board to attack your fellow Jewish trustee, Alexandra Lulka and attempt to censure her for discriminating against Muslims and Palestinians is more proof of your very own antisemitism.
Alexandra’s complaint was with TDSB Equity advisor Javier Davila for distributing antisemitic material (a claim that the commissioner agreed with). Because she did her job and identified a serious problem with a TDSB employee, she has been attacked by the board unfairly. BTW, he is neither Muslim or Palestinian (not that that should matter).
I urge you all to please look at the facts alone and see what’s going on there. There exists a dark circle of people and ideas who wish to silence anyone who speaks out against antisemitism. And if one defies silence, then they are punished for opening their mouth. What kind of example do you want to set for our students and future generations right here in Toronto, one of the most diverse cities in the world?
I sent that email to all of the trustees as follows:
harpreet.gill@tdsb.on.ca, dan.maclean@tdsb.on.ca, patrick.nunziata@tdsb.on.ca, christopher.mammoliti@tdsb.on.ca, alexandra.lulka@tdsb.on.ca, chris.tonks@tdsb.on.ca, robin.pilkey@tdsb.on.ca, shelley.laskin@tdsb.on.ca, stephanie.donaldson@tdsb.on.ca, chris.moise@tdsb.on.ca, rachel.chernoslin@tdsb.on.ca, alexander.brown@tdsb.on.ca, james.li@tdsb.on.ca, trixie.doyle@tdsb.on.ca, jennifer.story@tdsb.on.ca, michelle.aarts@tdsb.on.ca, david.smith4@tdsb.on.ca, parthi.kandavel@tdsb.on.ca, zakir.patel@tdsb.on.ca, manna.wong@tdsb.on.ca, yalini.rajakulasingam@tdsb.on.ca, anu.sriskandarajah@tdsb.on.ca, chair@tdsb.on.ca
Dear Mr. Kushner, A fabulous expose on the realities that have, and are, occurring right in your neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to outline a deeper issue that is directly related to your article and the reason for what has happen, and is happening, to produce the subjects you write about.
The subject is the intentional hollowing out of Canada, and all Western nations, by a highly organized agenda of sedition and treason: Socialism/Communism, Globalism and now Islam.
For the past 100+ years there has been a Socialist/Communist agenda highly active in all Western nations with the goal of wiping out Judeo-Christian civilization and replacing it with their own form of totalitarian Utopianism.
Every Western nation has a very active Communist Party.
Going back in history to the 1700s Secret Utopian Societies from Germany made their way into France. They formed "The Jacobins" who were largely responsible for the French Revolution. This movement had many like minded splinter groups that fled and infiltrated numerous other nations in Europe; the Cabanari to Italy, the Philadelpians, Pythatoreans, League of Just Men and numerous other Socialist Communist front groups that have been popping up ever since.
In the UK the Fabian Socialist Society was formed and later they formed the Labor Party as well The London School of Economics. The goal of all these groups is to propagate Socialism on all platforms, modes and means.
As Rabbi and Dr. M. Antelman outlines within his "To Eliminate the Opiate" the "Jewish" anti-Jewish movements. Within he outlines the origins of Reform/Conservative Judaism's relation to the anti-Jew Communist Movement; Abraham Geiger and Israel Jacobson.
If you look in the USA you'll find the ACLU (which was formed to provide legal protection during the red scare to exposed Socialists and Communists), NAACP and, I believe, the AJC were founded by Socialist Jews.
Getting to Canada, the Unions had been infected and controlled by Leftists since the days of J.B. McLachlan in the early 1900s.
If one looks at the Pugwash Peace Conference, you'll notice all the attendants were Communists and Globalists.
Further, the Fabian Society's front group in Canada is the Douglas-Caldwell Foundation.
All of the aforementioned have committed goals of destroying Western Judeo-Christian Civilization. Add to this, the Globalist movement and now Islam.
When Canadians, like yourself, mention 'the good ol-days' there is a reason....they were better than today however our elected officials are incapable of self reflecting and doing anything to reverse the masses of examples that have been undermining and hollowing out of Canada and Canadian culture: Woke, Political Correctness, Multiculturalism, Diversity and Inclusion, Equality, Hope and Change...with anyone questioning is destroyed by any communist invented 'ist' or 'phobe' label. A major example one sees today is everything to do with Covid, its relationship to Communist China as well the World Economic Forum's Great Reset. NONE of which is provided to the public but all have the same goals outlined above and similar origins outlined above...
So, the outcome of the above is the exact reason why your communities, once Canadian, communities have been intentionally replaced with all forms of un, non and anti-Canadian culture, peoples, faiths, ideological movements.
Good Canadians such as yourself must think strongly about entering the political arena yourself or encourage strong patriotic Canadians to enter politics at all levels to stop this societal decay and hold the criminals behind this accountable...
