As Christians around the world celebrated Christmas this week, anti-Israel extremists hijacked the holiday to promote their hateful agenda. Protesters disrupted holiday shopping at malls in Norway and the United States, as well as a Canadian Christmas market.

Elsewhere, far-left and Islamist activists continued to distort the historical reality that Jesus was a Jew living in the Jewish homeland, instead ludicrously claiming he, Mary, and Joseph were “Palestinians” to deny any ties between Jews and the Land of Israel. 

Harrowing acts of violence and vandalism against Jewish institutions continued to rock Canada as a Toronto synagogue was vandalized for the eighth time this year, with the perpetrators spray-painting over “Bring them home now” signs. Also in Toronto, a different synagogue was firebombed for the second time in the aftermath of the October 7th massacre in Israel, while a Jewish girls’ school in Montreal was shot at for the third time since May.

The social media platform TikTok flagged this week a video by American social media influencer Montana Tucker calling for the release of the Israeli hostages still held in Hamas captivity as “sensitive content.” CAM CEO Sacha Roytman denounced TikTok’s shadow-banning of the video as yet another instance of the platform suppressing pro-Israel activists, silencing the truth while allowing hate to fester.

Over 90% of the 128 incidents monitored this week were motivated by far-left or Islamist ideologies, showing the persistence of the “Red-Green Alliance” as the main driver of antisemitic incidents in a post-October 7th world.
