About this episode

The episode introduces the series exploring the surge of anti-Jew hatred in Canada and the complexities surrounding anti-zionism and antisemitism.

Some say Canada is currently in the throes of a horrible surge of anti-Jew hatred. Others say that anti-zionism is being conflated with antisemitism. So which is it? And who is to blame for it — activists, or Israel? What is Happening Here is a co-production of Canadaland and The Canadian Jewish News.
