If Canada cares about understanding and addressing antisemitism accurately, about combatting racism and discrimination, and about protecting freedom of expression, our government must withdraw this irresponsible misdefinition.
UV calls on Minister Gary Anandasangaree and Public Safety Canada to issue an immediate retraction, and recognize anti-Zionism as a legitimate political viewpoint grounded in anti-colonialism, fundamental human rights and social justice.

The government's twisting of its meaning is little more than a cowardly capitulation to violent anti-Palestinian racism.
It completely distorts the public's understanding of antisemitism to the grave disservice of Jews throughout the country. It writes over the reality of what Zionism is as a political ideology and what it has done to Palestinians throughout its existence.
The government's casual redefinition of anti-Zionism as a form of antisemitism endangers every Canadian's right to protest the ongoing war crimes being committed by the state of Israel, threatens academic freedom, and silences the voices of Palestinians and their supporters.

Anti-Zionism is opposition to Jewish settler-colonialism in Palestine, which peaked during the 1948 Nakba and continues to this day by Israel. It is opposition to the ethnic cleansing and ongoing attempted annihilation of Palestinians. It is opposition to the creation of an ethnostate that places one religious group in a position of supremacist power over another. It is opposition to the construction of apartheid walls and the terrorizing of civilians by violent settlers. It is opposition to the idea that Jews must assume state power and dominate over others in order to be safe anywhere in the world.
Fundamentally, anti-Zionism is the belief that Palestinians, like all peoples, deserve to live in dignity and safety, and that Jewish life can flourish everywhere without a violent ethnostate.

Yesterday, on September 24th,
Public Safety Canada published its Summer 2026 Progress Report on its National Commitments to Combat Antisemitism. Within the report, the Government of Canada has for the first time itself stated that antisemitism "includes anti-Zionism"

This position amounts to a major capitulation by the Carney government to Israel and its Canadian defenders, most notably the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIA).

This is a confession. Dozens of academics have faced all sorts of sanctions for comments about Charlie Kirk or for calling Israel’s Gaza war a genocide but what motivated him to act for the first time is an egregious racist getting suspended for, among other things, lying about his work.
Twoot by Alexander Kustov: “This is the first open letter I've signed. I encourage all academics who still care about higher ed's credibility to do it.

“We're at a crossroads: if we can't uphold academic freedom even for those whose views are despicable, we won't agree on anything else.“

@akoustov
Do folks realize that it is not 2020 anymore and that you can't just call people you don't know or understand but seem to disagree with "racist"? 

It's just not how adults are supposed to resolve their disagreements. Cambridge is already an embarrassment. No need to add to it.
