Antisemitism in Canada has exploded in the aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, reaching record numbers last year and becoming a central issue for the country’s Jewish community ahead of an April 28 federal election.
Last week, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, the main challenger to Prime Minister Mark Carney accused pro-Hamas protesters of staging «hate marches» and vowing to deport antisemitic foreigners from Canada.
«The rampaging chaos that we see in our streets, the targeting of synagogues and Jewish schools with hate, vandalism, violence, fire bombings … these things were unheard of 10 years ago,» Poilievre said.
He also had a warning for foreign agitators. «Anyone who is here on a visitor visa who carries out lawbreaking will be deported from this country,» Poilievre said.

«To Canada’s Jewish community,» Poilievre added, «you are not alone, you have friends. Canadians stand with you. You have the right to wear your Star of David, your kippah, and have your mezuzah on your door. You should feel proud to be Jewish and should never have to hide your Jewishness in order to stay safe.»
On Friday, Poilievre shared on X the Montreal Jewish Community Council’s call for Jewish voters to endorse him. In the video, the group’s executive director, Rabbi Saul Emanuel, referencing Poilievre’s support for the community, stated, «We remember who stood with us when it mattered most, and now we can all make a difference.»
Emanuel noted that Jewish voters could play a decisive role in as many as 14 districts in Canada. «Our vote matters, our voice matters. That’s why I am proud to support Pierre Poilievre and I urge you to do the same,» he said.
Carney has also used social media to condemn antisemitism. In a tweet wishing Jewish Canadians a happy Passover, he condemned the growing incidents, stating in part, «Together, we must confront and denounce the rising tide of antisemitism, and the threat it poses to Jewish life and safety in communities across Canada.»

Yet despite his strong words against antisemitism, Carney recently faced criticism following a campaign rally in Calgary, where someone yelled at the Liberal Party leader, «There’s a genocide happening in Palestine.»
«I’m aware,» Carney replied. «That’s why we have an arms embargo [on Israel].»
The next day, Carney, who in March replaced longtime Premier Justin Trudeau, claimed he had not heard the anti-Israel demonstrator correctly.
His backtracking did not stop Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from entering the fray. He posted on X that «Canada has always sided with civilization. So should Mr. Carney.
«But instead of supporting Israel, a democracy that is fighting a just war with just means against the barbarians of Hamas, he attacks the one and only Jewish state,» Netanyahu posted.
According to an annual audit released this month by B’nai Brith Canada, the total number of reported cases of Jew hatred in the country hit 6,219 in 2024, a 7.4% increase over 2023 and the highest number since the survey’s inception in 1982.
Antisemitic incidents in Canada have skyrocketed by 124.6% since 2022.

«Over the last 18 months, a new baseline has been established for antisemitism in Canada, and it’s having a detrimental effect on the lives of Jewish people,» Richard Robertson, director of research and advocacy at B’nai Brith Canada, told Fox News Digital. «We are seeing an increase in certain forms of antisemitism, specifically anti-Zionism.»
Irwin Cotler, a former justice minister and attorney general of Canada for the Liberal Party, told Fox News Digital «antisemitism has become mainstream, normalized and legitimized in the political, popular, academic, media, entertainment and sport cultures. All this happened in the absence of outrage,» he said.
«I hope that whichever party gets elected, we will see deliverables in combating specific hate crime, hate speech, harassment, assault, vandalism and all the things you find reported in the [B’nai Brith] annual report. From my experience, even those statistics are not telling the true story. They are underreported.»

«The community of democracies must act because the security of our collective freedom is at stake,» Cotler warned.
Israeli Ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed told Fox News Digital many local Jews «feel vulnerable, unsafe and unprotected by law enforcement bodies, governments and education systems that have stood by as antisemitism reached crisis levels.»
He noted that Israel, the homeland of the Jewish people, is obligated to act when Jews in the Diaspora are in distress.
«Equipping teachers with the resources to teach about antisemitism and the Holocaust is essential to ensure future generations understand the dangers of hatred and continue to embrace peace, tolerance and equality,» he added.

The antisemitism survey highlighted numerous incidents, ranging from Quebec daily La Presse publishing a cartoon depicting Netanyahu as Nosferatu, a vampire associated with Jews in Nazi-era propaganda and a pro-Hamas protester at the University of Toronto shouting at a Jewish student that Hitler should have «murdered all of you.»
In May, an arsonist ignited a fire at the entrance to the Schara Tzedeck Synagogue in Vancouver as prayers concluded. The same month, shots were fired at the Bais Chaya Mushka girls’ school in Toronto, and the school has since been targeted twice more by gunfire. In August, a bomb threat affected Jewish institutions across the country. In December, a firebomb struck Congregation Beth Tikvah in Montreal, the second such attack since Oct. 7, 2023.
Thereafter, Israeli President Isaac Herzog called on the Canadian government to take action to «stamp out» antisemitism.
«The world must wake up. Words are not enough. Synagogues burned. Jews attacked. Never again is now,» he said, employing the adage stressing a commitment to preventing another Holocaust.

«The alarming numbers [of antisemitic incidents] make it clear as to why every level of government in the country needs to work together to implement all the recommendations set out in the justice committee report of last December and the commitments made at the national summit on antisemitism in March,» Housefather told Fox News Digital.
Trudeau, who was widely panned for failing to adequately address the groundswell of antisemitism, had announced the summit within hours of Herzog’s condemnation.

Neil Oberman, the Conservative Party candidate running against Housefather, told Fox News Digital that in Mount Royal «personal safety and security have become serious issues.
«It’s a stark reminder of the urgent need for a federal government consisting of adults implementing actions instead of putting together summits and position papers and blaming everybody else to combat hate and protect vulnerable communities,» Oberman said.

Schumer swings at Hegseth over king crab meals for the troops, but Biden-era receipts show similar tab
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is facing backlash for criticizing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for the Pentagon’s spending on luxury items, including food for the miliary, despite similar expenses under former Biden administration Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin.
The top Senate Democrat said Hegseth’s spending in the final month of fiscal year 2025, $93.4 billion, which included millions of dollars on steak, seafood and furniture, could have instead been used to extend the Affordable Care Act.
Social media users panned Schumer online for the remarks, accusing him of cherry-picking a politically convenient area to care about spending, lambasting him for not supporting feeding high-quality meals to military members and citing similar defense spending during the Biden era.
«Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month – roughly the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for THREE YEARS,» Schumer wrote. «But instead of lowering American’s healthcare costs, Hegseth used millions of taxpayer dollars on fruit baskets, Herman Miller recliners, ice cream machines, Alaskan King Crabs, and a Steinway & Sons grand piano.
TRUMP SAYS HE BELIEVES HEGSETH ‘100%’ ON VENEZUELAN DRUG BOAT STRIKE DENIAL AMID ALLEGATIONS

«A true grifter in every sense of the word.»
During the Biden administration, Austin’s spending nearly mirrored Hegseth’s. Food expenses across administrations went toward feeding members of the military, according to the nonprofit Open the Books, which conducted the spending analyses.
There is no record of Schumer scrutinizing Austin’s spending. Fox News Digital reached out to the senator’s office for comment on the matter.
Defense spending is historically modest compared to past decades, representing a small fraction of the United States’ gross domestic product at 3.7%. Its share of the GDP has decreased significantly since the 1950s, according to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
Schumer’s grievance also comes as he leads Senate Democrats’ resistance to funding the Department of Homeland Security, which has been shut down for about a month. Democrats have demanded changes to the department’s deportation policies, which are nonstarters for Republicans. Essential DHS components, like Immigration and Customs Enforcement, remain operational at this stage, but some agencies, like the Transportation Security Administration, are facing pains as workers go unpaid.
Critics slammed Schumer over the comment on social media.
Fox News analyst Guy Benson called Schumer «the leader of the ‘Learing Center’ fraud party,» in reference to a viral video about welfare fraud scandals in Minnesota, saying Schumer «finally [discovered] one spending line item he’s willing to cut.»
Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, said Schumer «thinks it’s bad that U.S. troops get to eat steak & lobster during deployment» and that the Affordable Care Act is a «failed» plan that makes healthcare more expensive.
«Remember that Democrats would have you eating MREs,» another commenter posted, referring to military-issued «Meals Ready to Eat.»
«Chuck Schumer hates the troops,» Republican communicator Steve Guest wrote.
A commentary writer for the conservative Washington Examiner said, «You said nothing in 2024.»
Another social media user told Schumer he «should’ve done the 30 seconds of research to find Lloyd Austin’s September 2024 expenditures before posting. Missed your outrage back then.»

Hegseth’s spending in September 2025 was the highest the Pentagon has seen on grants and contracts since September 2008. Austin, however, held the record before that, spending $79.1 billion in September 2024.
The last month of the fiscal year has long been notorious for spending that appears lavish as agencies face pressure to «use it or lose it» so that they can justify keeping their budget for the next year. Contract and grant payment schedules also include September due dates, which can contribute to the spending uptick.
In 2024 under Austin, according to an audit by Open the Books, «the military spent $103.7 million on meat, fish and poultry in September, partially because it ordered raw lobster tail 147 times for $6.1 million. It also dropped $16.6 million on ribeye steak, $6.4 million on salmon and $407,000 on Alaskan king crab.»

Similar to Austin, Hegseth spent $6.9 million on lobster tail, Open the Books found. Austin spent about $1.5 million more than Hegseth on ribeye steaks. Hegseth more than quadrupled Austin’s spending on Alaskan king crab, while Austin’s spending on salmon was roughly six times that of Hegseth’s. The food went toward feeding military personnel, the nonprofit noted.
The Biden and Trump administration’s Pentagon expenses saw parallels for other line items, too. Hegseth’s $5.3 million on Apple products is comparable to Austin’s $5.1 million. Both spent more than $1 million on musical instruments. Hegseth tripled Austin’s spending on footrests at about $111,000, according to the data.

En las últimas 24 horas, la Fuerza Aérea de Israel bombardeó más de 200 objetivos en el oeste y el centro de Irán, con apoyo de la Dirección de Inteligencia israelí. Los blancos incluyeron lanzadores de misiles balísticos, sistemas de defensa aérea y plantas de producción de armas del régimen iraní.
Durante la madrugada, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmó en redes sociales que las fuerzas estadounidenses tienen “una potencia de fuego sin igual, munición ilimitada y tiempo de sobra” y que están “destruyendo por completo el régimen terrorista de Irán”.

Japón exigió al régimen iraní garantizar “una navegación segura” en el estrecho de Ormuz
El Gobierno nipón reclamó este viernes a las autoridades iraníes que garanticen la seguridad de la navegación en el Estrecho de Ormuz, luego de que el nuevo líder supremo de Irán, Mojtaba Khamenei, declarara en su primer mensaje a la nación que ese paso estratégico “debe permanecer cerrado”.

Illegal alien’s violent tussle with federal officer leads to multiple charges after suspected Biden-era entry
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Justice Department filed a criminal complaint this week against a Venezuelan national accused of assaulting a federal officer and grabbing and possessing the officer’s gun while resisting arrest outside a business earlier this month.
Law enforcement officers assigned to the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Task Force, or HSTF, began surveillance near a business in Utica, Michigan, after receiving information that individuals living in the U.S. illegally were working at the site as delivery drivers.
Agents observed a vehicle registered to Arnoldo Jose Marquez-Pulido, 33, who was leaving the parking lot, and they determined he was in the country illegally, according to a press release from the Justice Department.

After agents attempted a routine traffic stop, authorities say Marquez-Pulido briefly pulled over before fleeing from officers at a «high rate of speed.»
He then returned to the business location, where he proceeded to flee on foot, the criminal complaint alleged.
An HSTF agent proceeded to tackle Marquez-Pulido after he allegedly ignored the agent’s commands to stop and attempted to enter the business, the Justice Department said in a press release.
During the struggle, Marquez-Pulido is accused of striking the agent in the face with his elbow and reaching for the agent’s service weapon, identified as a «Glock 19» pistol. Prosecutors say he was able to remove the gun from the agent’s holster and briefly wield it before losing control of it as the agent regained leverage.
Additional officers responded and recovered the weapon from the ground. Authorities say Marquez-Pulido continued to resist before being restrained.
The agent sustained a contusion to his elbow, abrasions to his knees and hands and a contusion to his cheek, officials said. A second agent sustained a knee contusion. Both were treated at a hospital and released.
Marquez-Pulido was scheduled to make his initial appearance in federal court in Detroit this week, though prosecutors said they will seek to have him held in custody pending further proceedings.

Marquez-Pulido is believed to have entered the U.S. at a San Ysidro, California, port of entry in 2024, without a visa or valid travel documents.
Federal prosecutors said the allegations against the Venezuelan national underscore the dangers that some officers face while seeking to crack down on border security and enforce a hardline immigration enforcement agenda that President Donald Trump has prioritized during his second White House term.
«Some say that enforcing our nation’s immigration laws is unfair because illegal aliens are all harmless,» U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon of the Eastern District of Michigan said in a statement. «Today’s allegations break that narrative.
«High-speed flight from arrest, fighting federal agents and grabbing an agent’s gun are not ‘harmless,’» he added. «And what’s ‘unfair’ is the fact that Americans pay the price for dangerous illegal aliens.»
The news comes as DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said assaults on officers have increased sharply and vowed to pursue individuals accused of violence against law enforcement.
Senate lawmakers remain sharply divided over how to proceed with fully funding DHS and ending the shutdown that stretched into its 27th day Thursday.
Immigration enforcement has emerged as a key sticking point for Democrats, in particular, as they continue to grapple over the specifics of a bill to fully fund the sprawling federal agency.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Thursday he and most Democrats in the chamber were ready to fund «most of DHS,» including TSA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, FEMA and the Coast Guard but not Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency or CBP.
Schumer, for his part, has also accused Republicans in the chamber of blocking the bill due to disagreements over immigration, prompting a heated exchange with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.

«I assume the Democrat leader is aware of the fact that we have tried repeatedly to fund everything temporarily to allow the negotiations over the ICE budget to continue,» Thune shot back.
