Anti-Semitism is a creeping cancer on the left. It has all but consumed Britain’s Labour party under the leadership of the odious terror sympathiser, Jeremy Corbyn. In America, the Democrats are not just tolerating, but defending, and even championing anti-Semites in their ranks. In Australia and New Zealand, anti-Semitic comments are shockingly common from the Greens in particular.
If anywhere would be thought to be immune to horrific mainstreaming of anti-Semitism on the left, it would surely be Canada. After all, Canadians are famously nice.
Sadly, it turns out that the Great White North has its own problems with Jew-hating.
The Liberal party has revoked the candidacy of a Montreal-area candidate after shocking anti-Semitic comments resurfaced.
Anti-Semitism is a long-running and ongoing problem on the fringes of the right. The left has always defined themselves in no small part as the antidote to right-wing anti-Semitism. So, why is this happening?
Guillet celebrated the release of Hamas supporter Raed Salah. Salah has made past anti-semitic comments such as suggesting that Jews were responsible for 9/11, and the blood libel that Jews use the blood of children to make “holy bread”.
In a now-deleted social media post, Guillet praised Salah as a “jihad-fighter” and “frontier-fighter”.
Guillet’s own comments have also come under fire. In one interview with Radio Canada, Guillet suggested that Israel was an apartheid state and has accused Jared Kushner, who is a Jewish-American of having dual-loyalties, a common antisemitic trope.
Hassan Guillet is a former imam. He first came to prominence in the wake of the Quebec mosque shooting. The area he was nominating for has a substantial North African community – in fact, he is the first-ever Liberal candidate not drawn from Saint-Leonard-Saint-Michel’s traditionally influential Italian community. Guillet is symbolic of not just how the left is abandoning its traditional supporters in order to pander to Muslim immigrants, but how “moderate Muslims” too often turn out to be anything but.
The left’s love-affair with Islam is leading it down very dark paths as it embraces the Jew-hating of violent jihadists. Justin Trudeau seems to imagine he can straddle the barbed-wire fence by wearing rainbow “Coexist” socks. Sooner or later, though, the left makes their choice – and the rainbow loses to the crescent.
“The antisemitic tropes of ‘Zionists controlling governments’ and of ‘dual loyalty’ are two of the more abhorrent expressions of paranoid anti-Jewish conspiracy theories,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada.
Montreal resident and Wellington, Quebec Conservative Senator Leo Housakos told The Post Millennial that he was “disgusted” by the allegations.
“I think its indicative how the Liberal Party and Justin Trudeau talk a good game but when it’s time to walk the talk, they certainly don’t do it,” said Housakos.

With stunning cognitive dissonance, the left has tried to pretend that they can wave the rainbow flag and the black flag of radical Islam at the same time. But the mask is fast coming off. The defining moment was the Pulse nightclub attack when a jihadist murdered 50 people at a gay nightclub. As Milo said, the left chose that moment to make their choice. As the gay lobby will more and more find out, they’re not even close to the top of the intersectional totem pole any more.
Jews are likewise still clinging to the comforting fiction that the left is their natural home. The lesson will be harsh and painful, the longer they refuse to see it.
