There was an attack on a kosher restaurant recently, which has followed a spat of other attacks on jewish establishments in Canada.
"The Nöam fire is the latest in a rapid drumbeat of attacks on Jewish targets in Canada. Last week, in Toronto, a gunman fired at the windows of one branch of Kiva’s Bagel Bar, a Jewish-owned bakery chain, about an hour after vandals had shattered the glass front of another location. In June, a man smashed a window at Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom, a Reform congregation in Montreal, and tried to start a fire inside."
What is most interesting however is the reaction. The article delves into the Jewish community and its mood. the mood is rather resigned; they feel like the government doesn't give a shit. There is blame of foreign leaders and domestic leaders. There is a sense that all they get is platitudes and nothing is being done. Most of all is a sense that people are telling jews that its not antisemitism; one of the people interviewed calls it gaslighting, just telling them that it is not a problem at all.
Anyhow, what makes this article interesting is the picture it paints of the Jewish Canadian mood in the reaction to a season of attacks. Please read the article its free and it's from a progressive Jewish publication . Please read it first dont just litgate in the comments its worth reading and its free.
