Heather Reisman on Antisemitism and Israel | Vancouver News
Description
Heather Reisman, once a longtime ally of a prominent statesman, now fiercely opposes him over his rightward drift and expansion of West Bank settlements, arguing that many in the political middle are yearning for change in Israel. She lays out three key drivers behind rising antisemitism: critical race theory’s impact on campus DEI policies that sideline Jewish voices, problematic dynamics within Canada’s left-leaning union movement—including a controversial former leader’s post-October 7 remarks—and social media’s skewed portrayal of Israel as an oppressive force starving children. Despite facing vicious backlash, including store vandalism and baseless accusations of genocide, Reisman stands firm, calling out the hate as targeted, unfounded, and fueled by identity politics and misinformation.
