Former IDF Spokesperson Jonathan Conricus Claims Canadian Jews Are Leaving Amid Rising Antisemitism Concerns
Former Israeli military spokesperson Jonathan Conricus has sharply criticized Canada, alleging that the country is failing to adequately protect its Jewish community and warning that increasing numbers of Jewish Canadians are considering leaving the country. Speaking during an interview on Middle East Eye's MEE Live program after a three-week visit to Canada, Conricus said he observed growing concern among Jewish communities across the country. He claimed that Canada now "prefers Muslims and Islamists over their local, loyal Jewish population," arguing that recent political and social developments have left many Jewish Canadians feeling increasingly isolated.
