‘It will trigger hate,’ Housefather on Projet Montréal’s anti-Israel motion | The Corner Booth
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Projet Montréal's anti-Israel motion and the rise of antisemitism and hate in Montreal.
Antisemitism has been front and centre in Montreal news the last two weeks. So when Projet Montréal announced its plan to bring a motion to council Monday condemning Israel for “genocide” of Palestinians, The Gazette’s Allison Hanes suggested the timing risked inflaming social tensions. Liberal MP for Mount Royal Anthony Housefather and CRARR executive director Fo Niemi joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli to discuss not only antisemitism, but rising hate in general, including a racist rally in Shawinigan.
