A prominent Jewish organization is speaking out against Quebec’s new language law, saying it will make it harder to recruit rabbis and could push Jewish people to leave the province. B’nai Brith CEO Michael Mostyn says he’s concerned that many Jewish immigrants, including elderly people from Ukraine and the former Soviet Union, will no longer…
Why Did Putin Apologize to Israel?
Commentary Vladimir Putin apologized to Israel last week for claims by his foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, that Adolf Hitler may have had Jewish heritage. But why? Lavrov was defending one of Putin’s central rationales for Russia’s invasion—the denazification of Ukraine—by pushing back against the mainstream narrative that Ukraine couldn’t be Nazi-friendly because Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr…
Behind the Worrisome Promotion of Antisemitism in Communist China
Commentary There are approximately 3,000 Jews in China. In a population of a billion people, that’s a statistical rounding error. The overwhelming majority of Chinese people will never meet a Jew, even though they have maintained a presence in China for 1,000 years. So I was surprised to read, in a recent Tablet Magazine article…
The Tragic Rise of Anti-Semitism
Commentary More than 75 years after the defeat of Nazism and the liberation of Auschwitz, anti-Semitism is on the rise.

‘Yalla Brandon!’—the Jewish Vote May (Finally) Be Changing

Who Would Hide a Jew If Nazis Took Over America?
Commentary There is something about most Jews that few non-Jews know: We Jews often ask ourselves if a non-Jew in our lives would hide us in the event of a Nazi-like outbreak. I don’t know if young Jews think about this, but nearly all Jews who grew up in the decades following the Holocaust often…

North American Jews Rejected By the Left for Not Bashing Israel
Commentary A problem for North American Jews, one that has only become worse of late, is that many refuse to join the left in condemning Israel and demanding that it cease to exist. By far the majority of Jews consider themselves “progressives” and supporters of the left. According to the Pew Research Center, at least…
Antisemitism: The Haters Have Changed, but the Hatred Hasn’t
Commentary It has been a difficult time of late for Jews everywhere. Combatantisemitism.org (CAM) reports that antisemitic incidents in the United Kingdom have increased 600 percent, while “dozens” of alarming incidents have taken place in Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Rome, Vienna, and across North America. Canadian Jews have been profoundly shaken by a level of expressive…
