Interesting read. Politics appeals to the lowest common denominator because that is the only way you win elections by getting the most votes. Conversely, G-d and Religion deals with the mitigation of behaviors that increase risk to society by means of moral suasion. Two dialectical opposite pendulum swings, but interesting nevertheless with respect to biblical prophecy and the length of existence of the state of Israel. The way I see it, Israel's parliamentary system is akin to Italy's system with many splinter parties requiring a coalition for an electorial win. PM Netanyahu with all his bribery scandels is far removed from the word of G-d and the people know that. To say that those failing to support Netanyahu are antisemitic is akin to saying those who fail to support Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are prejudice against Canadians. The Ottawa trucker protests with all their Canadian Flags are such an example whereby that is not the case. In Netanyahu's case antisemitism is merely a dangerous political spin to divert attention and win elections. G-d does not spin. Politicians do in order to get out of trouble. Biblical prophesy is looking more real than ever.

Very interesting conversation. The marginalization of Canadian Jews does seem to be under way.
On the other hand, a recent poll showed very high support for Israel among Canadians. More than 80%.
