Today, on Tisha B’Av, the holiest day of mourning in the Jewish calendar, Congregation Emanu-El in Victoria, BC, the oldest synagogue in continuous use in Canada, was vandalized with vile, antisemitic graffiti. A thread 🧵1/8 ##bcpoli
Tisha B’Av marks the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem and centuries of Jewish persecution. On this solemn day of fasting and reflection, someone chose to desecrate a Jewish house of worship with vile antisemitic hate. 2/8

The @bctf wants one of their branches – the AOEC – to be responsible for creating teaching materials on antisemitism. They recently pulled down the AOEC website and social media channels. I wonder why? 1/5 #BCEd

1. ‘#Palestine From the River to the Sea’ = Always been a call for annihilation not liberation. The first recorded use of the phrase was by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) when it was formed in 1964.
2. Back in 1964, much of the land west of the Jordan River was controlled by #Egypt and #Jordan. But the PLO’s 1964 Charter specifically excluded both the #WestBank and #Gaza from the territories it sought to “liberate.”
