Last week, a series of incidents involving antisemitic graffiti made headlines in Canada, with many pundits attempting to tie them to the U.S. election of Donald Trump and the apparent rise of right-wing extremist elements in the United States.

Armchair activists have been weighing in, blaming Trump as well as his appointment of his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, claiming that the President-elect is fostering an attitude of intolerance and antisemitism and suggesting that he is triggering a dramatic surge in hate incidents against the Canadian Jewish community.

It’s a very neat causal chain. The problem is, it’s just not true. […]

The same swastikas would have been painted on synagogue walls had Hillary Clinton won the U.S. election, except that instead of being inspired by feelings of vindication and a belief that the majority supports their white-supremacist inclinations, they would have been inspired by outrage at what they’d likely construe as an “attack” on white America. …

The font of Canadian anti-semetism is French Canada, and the pro-Palestinian policies.
