Canadian government summits on anti-Semitism and Islamophobia: a political fraud
Over the course of two days this week, Canada’s federal Liberal government is holding two separate “emergency summits” on anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. These meetings will do nothing to uproot anti-Jewish or anti-Muslim hatred. Rather, they are grotesque political stunts, organized to obscure the real issues behind a spate of violent anti-Muslim attacks and a troubling growth in hate crimes targeting Jews; and to shape public discourse in line with the domestic and global interests of Canadian imperialism.
The government used Wednesday’s “National summit on Antisemitism” to equate left-wing opposition to the crimes of the Israeli state and Zionism with anti-Semitism. Today, they will pretend that the past two decades of Canadian history did not happen.
