Let’s look at some complicated cases. These are not Jews who were discriminated against for being Jewish. 

Indigo CEO Heather Reisman, teacher Laurie Allen, politician Selina Robinson, professor of medicine Ted Rosenberg – all were arguably targeted for their views and actions, not for their ethnicity. 

But does that mean it wasn’t discrimination or hate? And how far into our institutions has this movement gone?

Police statistics say that a Jew in Canada is now 9 times more likely to be the victim of a hate crime than a Jew in the United States. Others dispute this data, and say antizionism is being conflated with antisemitism. 

So what’s the truth? 

Host Jesse Brown begins to investigate, by talking to everyday people who say they have experienced discrimination firsthand.
