It is utterly unconscionable to have demonstrations in Canada celebrating a war started by a terrorist organization that has killed and injured and kidnapped innocent Israelis and civilians from other countries. So sad to see what is happening in Montreal this afternoon.

I urge everyone to listen to this speech by @SenSchumer. He is so right. For the Jewish community the rise of antisemitism is a 5 alarm fire. We think about it constantly. For most others it is one of many problems we face. He explains well why this is a 5 alarm fire.

Today I joined my friends @marcomendicino @YaaraSaks & @Carolyn_Bennett on Parliament Hill to stand in solidarity with Canada's Jewish community.

Social media antisemitism was surging pre Oct 7 and skyrocketed after Hamas' massacre. @elonmusk's embrace of extremism & X mismanagement makes it worse. In @Newsweek, @DWStweets & I explain how AI can solve online hate & real life violence-not fuel it.  www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-am...

In my view, any cessation of hostilities requires Hamas to release all hostages and lay down arms and surrender. Hamas, a terrorist organization is entirely responsible for starting a war. I disagree with our vote at the UN today.

I have been struggling to explain to colleagues what most Jews I know are feeling. Just this weekend we saw bomb threats at synagogues across the US, the arrest in Ottawa & loud chants for the destruction of Israel. For many the feeling of not being safe is all consuming.

Lesson to all (including cartoonists) how to avoid using antisemitic tropes:1) Don't accuse Jews of being more loyal to Israel than their own country.2) Don't imply that Jews control the world or media.3) Don't accuse Jews of being money hungry/use Nazi imagery tied to Jews.

I agree entirely with Ambassador @StateSEAS who visited Canada this week. The rise of antisemitism is not just a threat to Jews. It is also a threat to democracy & national security. Bad actors & rogue states are using it to ferment hate & distrust in places like Canada & the US.
December 29th 2023
Jews throughout the world, including Canada, are facing levels of antisemitism that we have not seen in our lifetime. Many are scared. Angry. Depressed. All consumed. Anyone endorsing a claim that antisemitism is being weaponized denies the truth of what Jews are experiencing.

Flight #PS752 was struck down four years ago by Iran. The current regime in Iran is a bad actor. It ferments chaos across the Middle East & world & has denied justice to victims’ families including Canadians. I maintain that we need to declare the IRGC a terrorist organization.

Today @marcomendicino @BenCarrwpg and I met with @univcan to work together on the issue of antisemitism on college campuses.
January 12th 2024
Very pleased that Prime Minister Trudeau has made clear that Canada does not support the premise of South Africa's claim at the ICJ. As @marcomendicino and I have stated the claim that Israel is committing genocide is baseless and unconscionable.
January 12th 2024
As the Republic of South Africa attempts to lecture the world's only Jewish majority state on morality, its 19 year old Jewish cricket team captain is removed from his position. Shameful.
January 12th 2024
Canada must categorically and clearly reject the claim of genocide against @Israel. Please read the oped that @marcomendicino and I wrote for the @nationalpost explaining why. The charge of genocide against Israel is a perversion of justice.

about this archive entry

Anthony Housefather's membership in genocide.club is due to the following:

  • He has repeatedly made statements in support of Israel while downplaying or ignoring the impact of Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th.
  • He claims the ICJ case for genocide is 'baseless & unconscionable' without refuting any of the facts in the case presented.
  • He has been careful to never mention Palestinians or the humanitarian catastrophe that has resulted from the actions he supports.
  • He has gone out of his way to put pressure on law enforcement agencies & university administrators in Canada to target pro-Palestine demonstrations for speaking up.

His statements & this entry qualified for inclusion in our archive based on our editorial guide.

about genocide.club

Genocide.club seeks to archive public statements from those supporting Israel's mass displacement, starvation, and murder of Palestinians, and to contrast those statements with the human toll of Israel's campaign.

We acknowledge that on October 7th, Hamas invaded southern Israel and killed 1,139 Israelis & foreign nationals, including 764 civilians, and took 248 hostages. The toll of these initial actions has been dwarfed by Israel's response, so far killing 27,585 and injuring 66,978 Palestinians in Gaza as of 2024-02-06. About 12,000 of those killed were children, and 8,190 were women. Beyond this human toll, Gaza has been largely levelled by large scale aerial bombardment which has destroyed critical civilian infrastructure including access to drinkable water, adequate shelter during the winter, and health care. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced from their homes.

We focus on the timeframe of the latest hostilities so that we have a set period for which we can archive statements and contrast them with the human toll noted above as the days & months pass. By focusing on this time period we hope to show how disproportionate and indiscriminate Israel's response has been, and we hope to underscore how many influential people in our world do not view all human beings as equal or deserving of a life of dignity. We also want to acknowledge that these events are not an isolated occurrence and follow decades of oppression, harassment, attacks and displacement.
