Canada urged to adopt proactive stance against rising antisemitic terrorism

Experts warn that escalating attacks on Jewish businesses in Canada signal a growing antisemitic terror threat that requires an offensive response.

Recent assaults on Jewish-owned establishments have highlighted a surge in antisemitic violence across Canada and other Western nations. New data underscores the breadth of the problem, while authorities cite terror charges, foiled plots and a foreign-backed “guns-for-hire” network. In an interview, Noah Shack, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, describes a troubling mix of extremist ideology, foreign meddling and the normalization of political violence, urging the government to act decisively.

Why it matters

The rise in antisemitic attacks poses a security risk and calls for stronger governmental response in Canada.
