Two employees at the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies — a Toronto-based non-profit human rights organization dedicated to Holocaust and antisemitism education — told CBC News that the centre’s educators who teach workshops and courses in schools have been instructed to report students who make comments critical of Israel to the organization.
CBC has agreed to keep the employees’ names confidential because of a potential risk to their employment.
Comments or questions referencing genocide or occupation of Palestinian people and “anything seen as critical of Israel at all” are to be reported to the organization, said one of the employees.
“The idea is to contact the school, inform the school they have an antisemitism problem and pressure the school to shut down the Palestinian support [by] accusing them of antisemitism, encouraging more pro-Zionist workshops or lessons,” they said.
Of note, the SWC conducts workshop in both secondary and primary schools.
If you want to create a generation of antisemites, this is exactly how you go about it. I have to wonder if zionists welcome, even stoke, anti-semitism outside Israel because it helps drive Jewish people to Israel.
Some Zionists are pretty explicit about this, yeah. The brutality of the occupation, where they don’t even care to hide it is meant for that exact purpose. They’ll drive out Palestinians, those Palestinians will settle in the West (among other places), and they’re counting on those refugees causing a backlash against the Jews that live in those places.
It’s probably also why white supremacists are by and large pro-Israel, despite being super anti-Semitic.
Most white supremacists believe in ethnonationalism, like Germany for the Germans, England for the English, the USA for “white” people, etc and so the idea of a Jewish ethnostate which is where all the Jewish people should live - and not in the other countries where Jewish people “didn’t belong” - is extremely congruent with white supremacist ideology.
Like even the Nazis (and many within the British establishment of the era) saw a potential “solution” to the “Jewish problem” as the creation of a Jewish ethnostate.
It’s not necessarily some grand scheme of inciting blowback. It’s because the ideology of Israel, the very reason for its existence, is ethnonationalism. The idea of a “Jewish homeland” sits very comfortably beside the idea of “ethnically pure” states.
Love to work for the human rights organization whose purpose is to ban acknowledging crimes against humanity. Somehow this is the only type of education that ISN’T

It’s going to get to the point where the people as a majority are just going to say fuck it and not give a shit. What are they going to do fire everyone who doesn’t go with the genocide?
