Editorial: Safety Of Canadian Jews In Our Own Hands, Not Our Leaders'
The year 2019 was a watershed year for Jews in Winnipeg and the absence of the harassment and violence plaguing our brethren in Toronto, Montreal, New York and Europe should not fool anyone, it's coming, we have to be ready, and our leaders are not prepared for the task.

Antisemite Linda Sarsour

TheJ.ca came into existence last spring because we could see clearly the fires fueling rabid antisemitism being fed not only by traditional enemies, but by new political and social allegiances they forged, that incorporated using useful Jewish idiots on the progressive left to legitimize their anti-Zionist messaging.
Winnipeg Jews were shocked last February when I exposed the infiltration of the Jewish Federation by anti-Israel sympathizers who used their positions in Limmud to platform a pro-BDS ‘rabinical student’ IfNotNow leader and tried to foist him off on 3 synagogues as a legitimate Shabbat dinner speaker. (Federation didn’t even know what IfNotNow was, because seemingly they didn’t read the memos about INN harassment of Federation buildings in Boston and Detroit and anti-Israel incidents by INN chapters on campuses in other cities.)
Try as they did to disassociate their institutions from Lex Rofeberg’s presence in our community, concerns linger. How were the shuls were so easily fooled? Why was he allowed to speak inside a community-funded classroom? And questions still linger about the mingling of Federation and Limmud business leading into the 2019 session.

Less than 2 months later, our institutions had to be dragged into the fray when the radicalized executive of the Social Planning Council shielded their antisemitic agenda by cloaking the appearance of the vile Sharia-touting Linda Sarsour under the guise of raising money for a moribund Muslim Women’s charity.
This came about because, as I warned, the progressive left had identified Winnipeg as a soft target – or, a target sufficiently softened up – to spread antisemitism and hatred of Zionists in the guise of “justice” and “human rights”.
4200 people had signed the petition stating Linda Sarsour was not welcome to spread her hate in Winnipeg
It was only upon the leadership of Ron East and his wife Shirli spearheading a petition, that the Seven Oaks School Division reversed course within days after being duped into renting a venue. But upon the move of the panel event to the local communist Ukrainian outpost, Jewish community leaders used every excuse in the book – “it’s on Erev Shabbas, it’s during Pesach, protests just draw attention to them” to refuse to spread the word about the protest across from the hall.
The Overton Window shift of Winnipeg newsrooms was firmly proven as a sympathetic media repeated the Sarsour-nik narrative:
- the event was “sold out” (tickets were being offered all around Selkirk Avenue),
- the protesters were “forced” by city police to take up across the street on McGregor (that position was chosen the day before — by the protest organizers),
- the opposition to Sarsour was simply ‘a few loud individuals’ (because God forbid, anyone in the Winnipeg media or “activist” crowd admit that ultimately over 4200 people had signed the petition stating Linda Sarsour was not welcome to spread her hate in Winnipeg)
We have not heard the end about media coverage of that SPC event with Linda Sarsour, but since then newsrooms have not jumped onto any other story about antisemitism to such a degree. I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
When Nakba Day came up in May, once again the Federation piled up the excuses not to lead the Jewish and Israeli community to face the pro-terrorist faction, and it was left to the grassroots to score a stunning tactical victory by intercepting the march before it got to City Hall, deflating the hatefest with calls for peaceful cooperation and a 2 state solution.
Canadian citizens supporting Israel
Despite the proven success of even a moderate presence with 5 Magen David flags, the Federation refused to counter the protest outside the Negev Gala in June, letting the quisiling progressive Jewish rump deliver twisted anti-Israel rhetoric on Main Street at rush hour across from City Hall, without challenge.
In July it was considered too provocative by our enemies for the Jewish community to even have a public discussion in a civic building about the threat caused by the Jewish left making league with murderous Islamists.
City officials first canceled the venue for a speech by Lauren Isaacs of Herut Canada, then lied about canceling the event when the outrage poured into their email boxes and phone lines. About this affront to community safety, Federation again stayed silent.
The state of Jewish Hate Event with Lauren Isaacs
Is it any wonder then that pro-BDS terrorist-lovers from Nakba Day stood across from the Rady Centre spewing more lies and hate about Israel during Folklorama, knowing the Jewish leadership had no idea who they were and lacked the spine to even find out their names and affiliations.
I need not enumerate the parade of anti-Israel speakers who have appeared since August, and that Federation officials had no knowledge of those scheduled events. With every incidence of “official” silence and avoidance of confrontation, those that hate Jews take it as a cue they are mainstream enough to fall under the ‘free speech’ umbrella and grow their numbers among woke activists, so-called peace movements, and among local Islamists.
