Anyone who doubts the Jewish need for Israel, and the elimination of the death cult on its doorstep, is delusional. Look at the mobs attacking Canada’s Jews, along with their gathering places and businesses. Listen to the words of union leaders, academics and politicians. Imagine being a Jew in a Canadian university, union or NGO, much less one wearing a yarmulke or a Star of David.
These aren’t Israelis being targeted — they’re Canadians. If Jews can’t feel safe in a country as diverse and progressive as Canada, where can they feel safe? How can they not have a state devoted to their protection?
A Zionist believes in the necessity of a Jewish homeland. That necessity became obvious after millennia of global pogroms and ethnic cleanings that climaxed with the Holocaust. This included the purging of 900,000 indigenous Jews from their homes in Arab and Middle Eastern countries, who had been persecuted by Islamist movements like Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.
It is impossible to forget that history when we see Jew hate on our streets today. How can anyone fail to support Israel’s fight for its existence, knowing what we know and seeing what we see? How can a decent person not be a Zionist?
After the Holocaust, Jews said, “Never again.” Yet Hamas says, “Yes — again. And again and again for as long as it takes to wipe Jews from the face of the Earth.” In this context, a call for a ceasefire that leaves Hamas in charge is a call to legitimize human shields and hostage-taking. It is support for genocide on an installment plan.
