This is the best analysis I’ve read on the weaponization of the eternal Jewish victimhood complex, which is dominant in Canadian media & society. Thank you @DavideMastracci for exposing the ideological & discursive underpinnings enabling Canada’s complicity in the Gaza genocide.

The 5 tropes I examine are: ‘Jewish-owned business’; ‘blood libel’; ‘Jewish state’; ‘Jewish neighbourhood’; ‘list of Jews.’ I pull examples in mainstream publications that have been published since Oct. 7, 2023. They come from MPs, columnists and others. https://t.co/J5EEtOOEb1

Air Canada flight attendants may vote down the wage package. While the proposed wage increases are appreciable, they fail to make up for past losses and pale in comparison to the increases secured by Air Canada pilots last year, writes @AdamDKKing1. https://t.co/2mDa7DZziN

The Maple, along with hundreds of other news outlets, has joined Avaaz and Reporters Without Borders’ campaign to draw attention to the 220+ Palestinian journalists killed by Israel since October 2023. Gaza has the bravest journalists in the world. https://t.co/RBA44HApyp

“Since Hamas’s brutal terrorist attack on Israel on October 7th and Israel’s military response…” Hamas’s actions are described as “brutal,” but Israel’s ongoing genocide is supposedly just a “military response.” This says everything you need to know about these MPs.

Jewish Canadians-like all Canadians-have a fundamental right to feel safe in Canada & to live safely with their Jewish identity proudly known. Today I joined 31 other Liberal MPs to issue this call to action.

The Prime Minister is a martyr, and the rest of the ministers are either martyred or wounded, and today, more than ever, we pledge to Gaza that we will not abandon it and will not fall behind, no matter the cost. God bless the martyrs and the Yemeni people 🇾🇪

The letter writes: “Unfortunately, it appears that some Canadian nationals and residents have chosen to participate in IDF operations in Gaza.” It doesn’t “appear” that way, it is that way. Find out about some here (though not all on this list did):

I think too many people in the pro-Palestine movement/the left in general in Canada have been dancing around this topic instead of naming it and addressing it directly. I hope this article will help change that.

I feel confident saying there is not a single other publication in Canada that could or would do this. Most would not. The ones that would probably could not, because they rely on funding sources that could be targeted by those who oppose this work. We don’t have that problem.
