Toronto has long had a vibrant Jewish community. The very notion that the symbol of Judaism would be banned in submission to Islamic Jew hatred is, in fact, genocidal. This is Islamic annihilation in action.
The York Regional District School Board has decided that the Star of David will no longer be used as a symbol of Judaism because it is part of the flag of Israel and it is offensive to the anti Israel Muslim Community. In other words, Jews are no longer welcome in York Region. This is the new level of antisemitism,” tweeted X user @neveragainlive1.
The Star of David appears in Jewish contexts since antiquity long before Islam was ever fabricated.

The Jewish Star (Star of David) has been the symbol of our faith for thousands of years. It is unfathomable that this is where we are just decades after the Holocaust. Never would we ever see, could we ever see, an Islamic symbol banned because it offended Jews or Christians.
We are seeing the West slouch towards its own death.
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… pic.twitter.com/Qi2lrAtGIv

Leaked email shows why Toronto area school board didn’t use Star of David in multifaith calendar
‘A true insult to the Jewish community in the York region and across [Canada],’ tweeted Deborah Lyons
By: Courtney Greenberg,The Sherwood News, May 09, 2024:
A Toronto-area school board “will be making changes” after its decision to use a Menorah instead of the Star of David as a symbol for Judaism in its multifaith calendar sparked backlash.
Leaked email shows why Toronto area school board didn’t use Star of David in multifaith calendar
The Menorah — a candelabra that is lit over the course of the eight nights of Hannukah, known as the festival of lights — is currently being used to mark Jewish holidays.
Many were upset after the screenshot of an email by the York Region District School Board mentioned the recent tensions in Israel as a reason for not using the Star of David.
“For judaism, the Menorah was chosen over the Star of David due to its purely religious significance, while the Star of David carries political connotations with the State of Israel,” reads the leaked email.
The email was addressed to York Region District School Board trustee Estelle Cohen and superintendent of education Michael Grieve.
Deborah Lyons, the special envoy for Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, responded to the swap on X, formerly Twitter, calling it “inconceivable.”
“A true insult to the Jewish community in the York region and across (Canada),” Lyons tweeted early Thursday. “I will reach out to Ontario’s Minister of Education and the York Region District School Board to reiterate that this must be reversed, and an apology should be issued immediately.”
Joe Roberts, managing director at Ottawa-based consultancy firm Winston Wilmont, said, “The insanity has to stop.”

Canada has taken on a lot of moslems. Then there is Trudeau setting an ever so fine example. There will not be a change until Canadians get tired of Sharia and the endless train of moslems. I am not holding my breath as Canada goes into the cesspool of the Looney left.

I am from Toronto and saw this coming thirty years ago. I said to my mother, “if they allow them to enter, there will be Jewish blood running in the streets every day.”
A Cassandra.
These monsters are just getting started.

Toronto Canada is mad. Just like all their export so called actors. Their prime minister Justine Trudo too. it isn’t enough that muzlums are being accepted somehow into western countries but to have the audacity to make host country scared of these men from raping or harming young or old people. as in the aussie case of Ninette Simons who was beaten until she was unconscious by detainee majid jamshidi doukoshkan. another iran passport holding person of interest claims to be bisexual and said if he goes back he will be killed. Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. he was proved wrong and unaccountable about his sexual orientation. when is enough enough powers that be? when? we are sick to the back teeth about immigrants, mostly men of fighting age, pretending to be LBGTQI? abcd. sick of it. why are australian citizens being kept SAFE? since when did muslums become a problem and started immigrating to western democratic countries using by hook or crook all the loopholes in Immigration papers. was it by their mobile google? and chinese nationals at Texas border from fricken China! and Nepal, arabs, africans not from south america but from Africa. this is criminal and insane.

They should be banning muslimes, berkas, and mosques, as the stench from their bodies, their hated for everyone, their attire, buildings and terrorism, offend everyone else in the world. Plus the fact that they do not contribute anything except death and violence everywhere they go Forgot, this sounds islamophobic.

Tell me WHAT doesn’t “stress” Muslims???
Israel persisting in it’s existence seems to be the Major one, along with ANY living Jews world wide.
I thought “immigrants” were supposed to Assimilate to their newly adopted country? Don’t like it in Canada, USA, EU, et al? GO HOME!

So that is the level of education at the Board of Education and the level of cowardice. Ottawa city hall also has up to date decided not to celebrate Israel Independence Day by the usual raising of the flag because of ‘security concerns’.

You cannot equate intelligence with education anymore, its full blow communist indoctrination and mind control. Training to do what you are told and nothing else.

Ottawa city hall has decided to go ahead with the celebration but with a lot of security after they received lots of complaints about the slight. For sure will be a huge anti-Israel demonstration on that day by the usual suspects.

What’s offensive to me are these liberal anti Semitic politicans including many Jewish ones like Schumer. They think by appeasing Muslims everything will be fine, but it wont it will just get worse.

Just how stupid are these people? It does not matter which “symbol” is used, the muzzies are going to have a fit. It is NOT the “symbol” ……. it is their “existence” that has the muzzies so upset.
Here is a “better idea”!
How about they ban islam!

Monsters who are offended by Jews and Jewish stars shouldn’t be moving to countries where they live and have lived for a very long time.
Moslems need to leave our countries. They are not here to integrate but subjugate.
There is no right not to be offended. If you are offended by these things, you should not be here.

Next year they will represent Christians by a chocolate Easter egg because a crucifix upset’s islamofascists. 😀.
The free world MUST destroy or deport all moslems. Our very survival demands it.
