Remember when the UN called for a ceasefire for Ramadan? Tomorrow night begins Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and the High Holidays. The holiest part of the Jewish year. Where are the calls for ceasefire now, as the Islamic Republic in Iran prepares to attack Israel?

“I have proudly served this country as a soldier, including as the Chief of Defence Staff for the Canadian Armed Forces for the majority of my adult life. I have been motivated to make my voice heard about the rising tide of antisemitism and to try and motivate other Canadians to also speak and declare that this is not acceptable. Our country is not one where hatred becomes the accepted norm. Where it becomes something that you tolerate every single day. As a collective voice, we as Canadians need to encourage our elected leaders to take the action that our laws demand when hatred has manifested in the way that we have seen it. This is about the values we must be standing up for and the country we want to be. Antisemitism isn’t just a threat against the Jewish community, it’s a threat to our democracy,” said General (retired) Rick Hillier, Honourary Patron of AFSC. The antisemitic hatred that has boiled over onto the streets over the last year is unacceptable. Leaders at all levels of government, in the media, in social and cultural organizations have a duty to speak out and to stand against it. Join us at theallies.ca to learn more.

Eden Golan, our fellow artist, cannot leave her hotel room in fear for her life because she is Jewish. This is 2024. I call on every artist to join me in condemning publicly this despicable act of hate. This is a time for choosing. Your silence is complicit. @Eurovision @macklemore
