The forces behind the spread of antisemitism are a threat to all who value freedom and human dignity.

   No fair-minded person can deny that antisemitism has surged since October 7th, 2023. Almost immediately after Hamas’ brutal attack was launched, antisemites were emboldened, with people celebrating the acts of a terrorist organization. Many leaders then immediately began lecturing Israel and trying to create a moral equivalency between a democratic nation and a terrorist group, which further emboldened hateful voices.

   And it didn’t stop there. Antisemitism has become normalized among portions of the political left under the thin guise of opposition to Israel, while right-wing figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are mainlining antisemitic tropes to audiences that number in the millions.

   Unsurprisingly, many Jewish People feel increasingly unsafe in Western nations like Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, which were once havens for the Jewish community. And when you consider that a rally celebrating Hamas’ attack is taking place at Concordia University tomorrow, it’s understandable why many Jewish People feel they are at risk:

   To say that the poster and the associated rally are disgraceful would be an immense understatement. And it shows how morally warped things have become when you consider that some of the institutions that condone such hate rallies still see themselves as bastions of inclusivity, even as they allow antisemitism and hatred to spread unchecked.

   A danger to us all
   While antisemitism surges, it has often received far less attention than one would expect. Clearly, many people in Western nations see the spread of antisemitism as an issue that is limited to a threat against Jewish People, and think it’s not a broader concern. While that attitude is itself dangerous on an ethical level, it is also wrong on an intellectual level.

   It’s no coincidence that periods in which Jewish People are welcomed and antisemitism recedes are periods of prosperity, peace, innovation, and openness. Because antisemitism is such a dark and primitive form of hatred, its decline signifies the elevation of values that are essential to the building of civilization, like the rule of law, limits on state power, respect for others, freedom of expression, freedom of inquiry, and respect for human dignity. And when antisemitism surges, it signifies the rise of primitivism, ‘us vs them’ thinking, tribalism, fear, hatred, and a broader decline of civilization.

   Just look at what the descent into unrestrained antisemitism has brought to Gaza. Did voting for Hamas and supporting a brutal terror attack bring about positive benefits for Gazans? Did Germany benefit from going ‘all-in’ on fascist antisemitism in the 1930s and early 1940s? Did the Soviet Union benefit from persecuting Jewish People after the Second World War? Have decades of antisemitic rhetoric and arming for attacks against Israel brought prosperity to Iran? Are antisemitic countries and organizations builders of civilization?

   The answer to all of those questions is a resounding ‘no.’

   Antisemitism leads to the unchecked spread of hatred that goes far beyond just targeting Jewish People, and often escalates into broader violence because it is a tool of some of the most unstable and extreme ideologues on the planet.

   By contrast, the Jewish community makes positive contributions in nation after nation, including here in Canada. Embracing the Jewish community means embracing the values that help build civilization itself, while turning against the Jewish community means turning against those values.

   Fundamentally, if you want to live in a country that is free, open, safe, and prosperous, you should view the rise of antisemitism with significant alarm, and we should stand together to stand up for the Jewish community before it’s too late.
