Well, I don't know about that. It's a nice thought. But describing Jews in Canada as "foreign" is way of the mark. And even marginalized is pushing the envelope. The great majority of white Jewish Canadians live lives that are largely indistinguishable from other white Canadians. Jewish families are highly integrated and established, not just among the general populace but also as ranking members of the business class, in politics, and the media.

They are no more ethnically marginalized that Italian Catholics.

That said, I agree with Unionists general point about the attempt to subject Jewish-Canadians to social framework where they are associated with Israel is a form of prejudice that exists in Canadian society, and one that definitely connects at some level with traditional European anti-semetism. After all, one merely has to go to the nearest Nazi blog to find real anti-semites using the exact same set of definitions that are used by Zionist extremists.

Both Zionists, and their backers, and the right wing racists share the conviction that Israel and Jews are inextricably one and the same thing, and that Israel speaks for all Jews as the Jewish state.
