Another time involved middle eastern men who literally ambushed us (in Calgary!) and fortunately several police on bikes appeared out of no where. Had encounters with Hezbollah before, here in Calgary, and they made it very clear violence was what they were after.

Jewish students on university campuses across North America have been under assault for years. It is only getting worse. What we have allowed on campuses is pathetic.

Jews in France and Germany (and basically the rest of Europe) are increasingly under threat of violence. Middle eastern anti-semitism is spreading with immigration and with useful idiots all around us.

In general though, in my professional work environment, racism probably exists, but is very minimal. Let's not pretend either that racism only exists from white to other groups, there are all kinds of groups that don't like each other, from all parts of the world.

Unfortunately, for Jews, there does not appear to be any movement in the overall population that really cares that much. The left is no ally and the far right is no ally. Old anti-semitism is back and getting worse. You can see it everywhere.

Sadly, it is a real concern that isn't getting as much attention as it should.

After a massive refugee influx, Germany is confronting an imported anti-Semitism: A survey of victims of anti-Semitism commissioned last year by the German Parliament concluded that Muslims were most often identified as the perpetrators.

Police statistics, for instance, show that about 90 percent of the anti-Semitic cases nationwide are believed to have been carried out by followers of the far right – traditionally the bastion of prejudice toward Jews in Germany.


But government officials and Jewish leaders doubt that figure, citing a default designation of “far right” when the perpetrator isn’t known. The government also has no reliable means of tracking anti-Semitism that falls below the level of the criminal – something Klein said he’s determined to change.


A survey of victims of anti-Semitism commissioned last year by the German Parliament concluded that Muslims were most often identified as the perpetrators. A separate study found comparatively high levels of anti-Semitic thinking among refugees with a Middle Eastern or North African background.
