Israel has seen emigration double since the attacks of October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war in Gaza. While some are choosing to leave for security reasons, among those choosing exile are activists weary of war and feeling increasingly isolated amid their country's illiberal drift.
I am also from Montreal. Violence against both jews and Muslims increased after 7 of Octobers. All groups should be protected, it also feel like jews safety are more important than anybody else rather than being as important as protecting other groups. Many Montreal Zionists get outraged by anything related to Palestine it's so ridiculous , like some orgs raising money for Palestinians with bakery sale get flooded by Zionists talking about how that money will go to Hamas. NDG NPD candidate in the previous election was also accused of supporting hamas, this is a really serious accusation
