I attended a rally against hate at the Pride of Israel Synagogue in Toronto, Canada. Outside, protestors—claiming to be from “Jews Against Genocide” but mostly non-Jews cosplaying outrage—tried to block attendees from entering. Charming.
Inside, it was no comedy of manners. The air buzzed with fear, shock, and righteous anger. This was not a “Jewish” event; it was a community gathering held in a synagogue. But of course, the community didn’t come.
Only the Jews did.
The place was fortified with private security, local police, and RCMP. This happens when we live in a country where angry mobs gather regularly to hurl blood libel at Jews and call it “activism.”
Politicians took turns at the mic. Some were booed, some applauded. Melissa Lantsman, the Conservative Shadow Deputy PM, tore through the room like a five-foot storm, note-free and fed up. “
No more of this ‘If we’re nice enough, maybe they’ll go away’ nonsense.” Indeed. That strategy had a real bang-up century.
There’s a famous photo of a terrified boy with raised arms during the Warsaw Ghetto liquidation. For too long, Jews have internalised that posture: maybe if we raise our arms, if we shrink, they’ll spare us. That era is over.
But the question lingers, screamed in silence:
Where were the Gentiles?
Why was a community event in a synagogue, shattered windows and all, attended almost exclusively by Jews, many elderly? In contrast, the “multicultural community” couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger, much less show up?
And while we’re here, where are the Christians?
Do they think Jesus just ran a bagel shop in Galilee?
The Pride of Israel event wasn’t a call to arms. It was a whisper, trembling but firm: “We’re still here. Will anyone stand with us?” But I’m sure nobody is anti-Semitic.
“No, I am not a duck, your honour”
At my university, the administration is engaged in a bureaucratic intifada. I was suspended for telling a stranger on the internet that I support Israel and that Hamas are Nazis. That’s it. One post. Lost to the algorithmic sands of time.
But my persecutors—among them a Vice Provost, a few unhinged professors, and various administrators—reacted as if I’d set fire to the Magna Carta. One professor screamed at management. Another accused me of being a pedophile. A third declared, publicly, that Israel deserved the October 7 massacre. He still teaches.
I, however, am banned. Why?
Because antisemitism, dressed in keffiyeh chic and armed with DEI lingo, is not just tolerated—it is celebrated in Canadian academia. And the unions? As useful as a screen door on a submarine.
The most consistent defenders I’ve encountered aren’t white, progressive Christians or activists—they’re Caribbean colleagues who still believe in justice. The others? “We’re not supposed to talk to you.” How very Stalinist.
As for my belongings, including notes from my late father and crayon cards from my daughter, were cleared from my office without notice. By the same manager who helped file the complaint against me. I’ve asked for them back. Months later, silence. I may need to involve the police—how’s that for academic collegiality?
But they’re not antisemitic, of course. They have Canadian virtue cards. They use the correct hashtags. They just support professors who label Jews “subhuman” while threatening anyone who doesn’t toe the BDS party line.
And yes, where are the Gentiles?
Where are the bakers, garbage collectors, software engineers, Uber drivers, substitute teachers, and everyday decent folk who say: “Not again. Not on my watch”? Is bringing in immigrants with anti-Semitic prejudices from the old country wise? Is that multicultural pixie dust they sprinkle at the border not working?
In 2024, the most dangerous person in Canada is a Jew who dares to speak.
So I ask again, sincerely and bitterly:
Where are the Gentiles?
It’s important to note that during the 1930s, the Nazis leveraged universities to build their brand to great effect - both amongst their faculty and in student groups. And when they fired the Jewish professors, the good Germans were largely silent; they, too, didn’t want to get involved. Seems familiar.
Of course, many will not be silenced—Douglas Murray, Terry Glavin, John Ivison, and others, all prominent journalists—but I say there are not enough bakers, academics, garbage men, dog walkers, office workers, and construction workers.
Where are the Christians?
Isn’t this a Christian nation? The least anti-Semitic country in the world? Canada? Not even close. According to the Anti-Defamation League, we are 50% more anti-Semitic than the United States. The least anti-Semitic countries are Laos, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other countries; many are Buddhist.
“After World War II, it was easier for a Nazi to enter Canada than a Jew,” is former Federal Justice Minister Irving Cotler’s famous line. He recently needed police protection to walk around.
“This is not like Canada,” Trudeau used to say.
Actually, it is Justin.
We need to discuss what it means to be a Canadian, and we also need to address immigration.
Oh, immigration, oh, you Islamophobe! You racist! To the barricades of self-righteous delusions!
We love multiculturalism so much that we don’t have a problem allowing immigrants who come to Canada dreaming of sharia law, who hate Jews, who want homosexuals tossed off rooftops, and who today howl war cries of intifada on the streets of Toronto, a city in a country that prefers pleasant myths and self-righteous delusions over reality.
But where are the Gentiles standing up for the Jewish people under siege?
How many members of my faculty association at the University of Guelph supported me when I was suspended for standing up for those Jews? Zero. My local faculty members, two, but the others cry, “We’re not supposed to talk to him” - as if some tyrant on the top floor has visited them and offered them the right to dictate who they're allowed to speak with, to thousands of staff, students, and faculty. That blanket gag orders from thugs in Public Safety are listened to speaks to the weakness of Canadians.
Strangely enough, again, it is largely and almost exclusively my Caribbean co-workers who have expressed concern.
The white “Christians” are silent, not my business, turn away, think happy thoughts; if we ignore ugliness and injustice, it will just go away.
But they aren’t anti-Semitic. They have rainbow pins.
Where are the Gentiles?
Yeats, in his famous poem The Second Coming, quoted by people like me who don’t know much about poetry, said,
“The best lack all conviction, while the worst
They are full of passionate intensity.”
The former group is non-Jewish Canadians, and the second group is throwing rocks through synagogue windows and getting hugs from their fellow travellers in University and College Human Rights offices.
The first are afraid to stand against their office mate making anti-semitic jokes; they are afraid to mention to their fellow non-white professor that maybe they don’t approve of him posting videos of comedians who joke about Jews making clothing from Gentile skin; oh no, they’ll think I’m a racist, oh no, I don’t want to get involved.
Where are the Gentiles?
They just don’t want to get involved. Maybe we should put that in our anthem.
But please don’t say that, while I won’t stand up for the Jews now, I would if things got really bad. I don’t care if you went to Anne Frank’s house after you bought weed in Amsterdam.
No, you wouldn’t, my Gentile friend. If you are so afraid of getting a dirty look or afraid that everyone might not love you if you say you support Israel? You are high on your post Schindler List vapour.
If you are silent now and they start rounding up the Jews, you’d probably be the one turning them in.
I heard a Holocaust survivor say that when her sister looked outside as people threw rocks at their window, the sister turned back to her mother and said,
“But, mommy, it’s our neighbours throwing the rocks.”
Who are many of the Gentiles?
They are our future rock throwers; they just haven’t started, but they are with them in spirit.
And this is why Israel must always be strong.

Well done. It takes courage to take a stand and be one of the lonely voices speaking out against the haters and disinterested, especially when you aren't even Jewish and can play it safe and turn a blind eye to the bias and hypocrisy.
“We continue to uncover German concentration camps for political prisoners in which conditions of indescribable horror prevail. I have visited one of these myself and I assure you that whatever has been printed on them to date has been understatement.”
“The things I saw beggar description…The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty, and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the near future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to ‘propaganda.’”
General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Eisenhower ordered the filming of the atrocities at the extermination camps. He prophesied one day it would all be denied.
I was taught this in school. My family fought in the Second World War, we knew.
I believe our schools have been infiltrated and social media dominated by those who willing obscure the truth.
I am horrified by the dereliction of duty when officers of the law allow Hamas / Palestinian threats to go unchallenged.
We need to be pushing our officials to take notice and respond.
