Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism among McGill Faculty, Staff, and Graduate Students

The October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel changed every Jewish life in Israel and the Diaspora, adding to the antisemitism in Jewish communities; antisemitism on university campuses has reached a fever pitch, with incidents increasing by over 300 percent. The Montreal Jewish community is in a panic for good reason, as firebombings and shootings of schools, synagogues, and community organizations have become everyday occurrences. Parents of Jewish children are afraid to send them to school; rabbis want armed police to protect Jewish buildings. Two Jewish schools were shot at, and one of the schools was targeted on two separate occasions. Bullying is prevalent among schoolchildren, workers face harassment from their colleagues, and university students are targeted based on their pro-Israel stance. Additionally, businesses owned by individuals of Jewish descent were subjected to acts of vandalism as well as online harassment and provocation. <a href="https://bonniekgoodman.medium.com/antisemitism-and-anti-zionism-among-mcgill-faculty-staff-and-graduate-students-7a189c7f8567">Learn More</a>
