In a “knife to Canadian Jews” and an “unquestionably antisemitic” move, the Jews of Canada have been blatantly singled out in a manner that is reminiscent of nothing less than Nazi Germany. While seal clubbing will remain a legal practice in Canada, along with Muslim ritual slaughter, Jewish ritual slaughter has now been banned.
The following Jewish groups are now suing the Liberal Government of Canada: “The Kashruth Council of Canada and the Jewish Community Council of Montreal, along with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, an umbrella group representing Canada’s nearly 500,000 Jews.”
Since the October 7 savaging of Israeli citizens by Hamas, antisemitism is soaring in Canada. This includes intimidating pro-Hamas protests that authorities have done little to stop.
Add in the antics of the federal government:
- This banning of Jewish ritual practice, as well as:
- Foreign Minister Melanie Joly held hands with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas and posted a photo of this on social media
- Joly also declared, amid accusations of Israeli sexual abuse of Palestinians, that “we believe Palestinian women.”
The recent odious actions of the Canadian government will further encourage antisemitism at a time when Israel and Jewish communities are facing actions that are reminiscent of pre-Holocaust times.
“A knife to Canadian Jews,” by Eric Grossman, Times of Israel, March 11, 2024:
As an opening gambit in their war against the Jews, in the early 1930s the Nazis ended shechitah, Jewish ritual slaughter. At a time when antisemitic incidents reminiscent of pre-war Germany are exploding across Canada— vandalism of Jewish owned businesses, attacks on Jewish students, firings on Jewish institutions—the Canadian government is putting forth measures that will effectively end shechitah in Canada. This devastating milestone in Canadian Jewish history has attracted no media attention and is being lost in the fog of the greater war being waged here against the Jewish people.
This past Friday, a legal Notice of Application was filed on behalf of the kashrut organizations of Canada against the Attorney General in a last-ditch attempt to prevent the implementation of new standards that will end shechitah in Canada within the next two months. The process is well underway and already one-third of abattoirs in Canada have stopped producing kosher meat. The kosher certifiers and their representatives had been working with the Canadian government to find a solution, including a recent meeting in Ottawa, but according to the application, “…those efforts have proven fruitless.”
The application asserts that ending shechitah violates the rights of Canadian Jews to practice their faith as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. As such, this new policy is one of the most severe blows ever dealt to the Canadian Jewish community, which has lived in this land for over two hundred years….
Among the many incidents that occurred last week alone, anti-Israel protestors descended upon Jewish neighbourhoods in Toronto and Montreal, and angry mobs intimidated attendees of synagogues in both cities. Demonstrators surrounded the Jewish Federation building in Montreal and blocked participants attending a pro-Israel event from getting in or out for hours. Poignantly, the besieged Federation building houses Quebec’s Holocaust museum; pro-Palestinian protestors in Ontario shouted, “Go back to Europe.”…

Kashrut slaughter is humane – Halal slaughter is not…the animal suffers. That goes to the sheer lunacy of the Canadian antisemitism. I can be nothing else.

Canada: the country where Members of its Parliament recently gave a standing ovation for an actual WW2 Nazi.

It does not matter who wins not much will change.

What many don’t realize is we are convinced our unusual practice is far more humane, the leading authorities have confirmed this, and we have good evidence.

We don’t do it that way for that reason, we do it because we were told to by a higher authority.
Of course this is anti-Semitic, they are not pushing any other reforms, and some of the factory farming methods here leave a lot to be desired and affect all animals.

Yesterday, the House of Commons passed a motion in support of a two state solution. The Liberals, NDP, Bloc Quebecois and the Greens supported it. The Conservatives and three Liberal dissenters opposed it.
Tatanka says
Halal or Kosher slaughter is brutal and should be banned regardless if a Jew or Muslim does it. It was sanctioned in a time before fire arms and stun guns were available hence the knife or sword was used .
I stand fully behind the State of Israel but i have no use for inhuman practices like that., it needs to go…period
Tatanka says
I also have no use for Muslims cause Islam is vile and misogynistic to the extreme,..exterminate it .

Nonetheless, why is Jewish ritual slaughter being banned ,but not Muslim ritual slaughter? Isn’t kosher slaughter more humane than halal slaughter?

The leftist -communists view Jews as white people so we are expendable and the precious others are given a separate set of rules
࿗Infidel࿘ says
So are they trying to drive Jews vegetarian/vegan? Maybe new Kosher versions of “Impossible meats”?
Tony Rice says
I am surprised NO reason has been given for the banning of the Jewish method and not the Islamic. IF I were asked, I would say the Islamic version is more humane ( while still being cruel ) is the stunning of the animal is permitted whereas in Judaism, stunning not, the reason being stunning might cause a blood clot, and Judaism does not allow consumption of blood, to which my comment, too bad, so you can’t eat meat..
But seeing videos of slaughter in an Islamic slaughter house, I could not watch it beyond halfway, it is horrendous. The animal knows full well what is going on and a cow for example does not go into the slaughter pen willingly, and has to be forced by persons who certainly do not have its goodwill at heart.
In Judaism one animal should not be slaughtered in sight of another, but in a slaughter house, I doubt that prevails. In both religions the heart must keep beating so as to expel all blood.. We can say barbaric but ritual slaughter was introduced by Jews, an advancement in those far off days when * Thou shalt not cut a limb off a living animal “, so we must admit Jewish method was an advancement but today, not so.

I was born three years after the end of WW2 and now it appears I am witnessing the same actions that went on in Germany in the 1930s when we thought such evil would not appear on Earth again, at least not across Europe, and here we are today witnessing much of the same words and actions.
islamism is the new nazism.
