Liberal MP Anthony Housefather's appointment to a role fighting antisemitism has been delayed due to concerns about divisions within the Liberal caucus. Housefather had publicly discussed leaving the party in protest over the Liberals' endorsement of a motion on the Gaza war. The delay has sparked criticism from various quarters, including opposition leaders who accuse Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of being unable to manage his caucus and effectively combat antisemitism. The controversy comes amid a reported rise in hate crimes against Jews, which have skyrocketed in Canada. Additionally, a recent Toronto-St. Paul's byelection has been cited as a wake-up call regarding Trudeau's approach to antisemitism.
Trudeau Liberals appoint an antisemite who compared Israelis to Nazis as head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Liberal MP Housefather could agree to recall committee to investigate this grotesque appointment but he won’t. The NDP & Bloc could too, but they won’t. Only… https://t.co/6Bf4TwCwJp

Spineless Liberals Trudeau's new human rights commissioner has a grotesque anti-Israel record. Liberal MP Anthony Housefather has the power to recall Justice Committee, question the Minister and confront the commissioner. Instead, Housefather will prop up Trudeau & let… https://t.co/7Jt09vNTSY

Check out my video courtesy of my friend @nellyshin_ca on the worrying rise of anti-Semitism in Canada. Time to call hate what it is. https://t.co/zbYyVxy2op
Weird flex to bring Trudeau's Minister for Hamas into an byelection campaign in a district with a large Jewish community, but at least it's honest. Trudeau is presiding over the most antisemitic Canadian government in history, and at least voters know what they're getting. https://t.co/a6cCIVEPOn
Anthony Housefather was going to quit the Liberal Party over the antisemitism of its MPs. So Trudeau offered him a job fighting antisemitism. But those antisemitic MPs have threatened to quit if Housefather gets that role. Trudeau has sided with the Liberal Hamas Caucus. https://t.co/UyB9iOryNb

Trudeau is too worried to offend his radical caucus to appoint Housefather to fight antisemitism. No wonder hate crimes against Jews have skyrocketed after 9 years of this Prime Minister. Fire Trudeau. Stop antisemitism. Bring home unity. Sign here: https://t.co/3wSy9iQnMU https://t.co/vhXU8C6EGH
