Group shouts “stop killing Palestinians” at visibly Jewish parents during high school graduation ceremony

A Member of Parliament in Canada has expressed her concern after groups of people shouted “stop killing Palestinians” at visibly Jewish parents during her daughter’s high school graduation ceremony at Canada’s Wonderland, an amusement park in Toronto.

Ya’ara Saks, MP for York Centre in Toronto, took to Twitter to write that “This is so wrong. It’s collectively blaming Jess for a foreign conflict. It’s hate, it’s antisemitism, it’s dangerous, and it needs to stop.”

According to the International Definition of Antisemitism, “Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the State of Israel” is an example of antisemitism.

A recent audit shows that antisemitic incidents in Canada have drastically increased. Campaign Against Antisemitism reports on antisemitic incidents throughout Canada.
