It's true. Jesse Brown has fired himself as a host of Canadaland podcasts.
Has the wave of hate against Canada's Jews calmed down since the ceasefire? And what impact did this podcast series on the crisis?
Is hatred against Jews calming down, or is it back for good? Is it correct to consider antizionism the new name of antisemitism, or is it a different ideology entirely? Finally, is antizionism actually pro-Palestinian?
