MILAN — The vandalism Monday of a mural depicting a survivor of last year’s October 7 Hamas attacks that killed some 1,200 people in Israel is an example of rising antisemitism in Italy over the last year, according to the Antisemitism Observatory in Milan.

A new study released on the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel finds that an astonishing 3.5 million American Jews say they have experienced some form of antisemitism in the year since.

As we mark the one-year anniversary of the brutal terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, we have all been deeply concerned with the disturbing persistence of antisemitism around the world, including here in Canada. As three former politicians from different parties and regions of the country, we have come together to call on Canadians to take a hard look at our own actions — and inactions — which have enabled the rise of antisemitism across the political spectrum.
