Yet none of these outlets (all of whom were invited) sent a single reporter to an event that took place just a short drive from their respective newsrooms, an event that deeply affects people living here, in the country these organizations ostensibly cover.

Why? It’s not because the event wasn’t newsworthy or because their audiences don’t care. And no, it’s not because these organizations hate Jews. It’s because what took place at that conference last weekend fundamentally contradicts the narrative that Canadian media has been telling, day in and day out, since October 7, 2023.

In this narrative, antizionism is a legitimate political movement and antisemitism is an unfortunate but unrelated issue. Canadian Jews are portrayed as passive victims who eternally “feel unsafe.” But it’s always hard to say who or what is making them feel that way, and even if we do know some of the culprits’ names, it would apparently be improper to publish them.

For Canadian Jews to come together and actively identify antizionism as the specific force of hatred and violence that afflicts them is an occurence that shatters the media’s narrative, one they have deeply invested in.

Naya Lekht is a co-founder of Stop Antizionism, one of the two groups that organized Sunday’s event. Here’s how she explains the conspicuous absence of the Canadian media:

“A tree fell in a forest and no one was there to hear it.

This was a landmark event, not because we came to relitigate Israel facts or debate Zionist history, but because we came to name something. To examine antizionism as a distinct ideological phenomenon: the defining scourge targeting Jews in the West for the past two decades.

This symposium did not offer them the story they know how to tell, nor the one they wanted to tell. There was no Jew on the defensive, fending off antizionist libels. The lens was not on the Jews. It was on the bully. And that, apparently, stumped them entirely.

The silence is its own statement.”
