World Symposium Against Antizionism in Toronto

0:00A major conference against anti-Zionism is coming to Toronto on Sunday, May 17th. The Jewish rights group, Tafsick, is hosting its first world symposium, with commentator Ben Shapiro giving the keynote speech. The full-day event aims to equip people with strategies to fight what organizers call a growing threat linked to anti-Semitism. Tafsick's founder, Amir Epstein, says anti-Zionism has spread into society, often tied to far left or anti-Western views. Tafsick will cover legal challenges, disinformation, and more, bringing together experts to share insights and solutions. In Canada, Jewish communities have faced a surge in anti-Semitism since the October 7th, 2023 attacks in Israel. Protests and rallies have targeted neighborhoods and campuses in Toronto, while recent incidents include shootings at three synagogues and vandalism. At Jewish businesses, the conference is drawing support from diverse groups, including Christian and Hindu communities, to build broader alliances.
