So-called science has repeatedly erred in making false claims.

Actually many of the articles and videos on the creation.com website are speaking from a scientific point of view to demonstrate how the theory of evolution is not credible. Many authors have degrees and are scholars. -

This is where you are wrong. Scientific evidence so called does not prove the theory of evolution. There are countless articles on the creation.com website refuting the theory of evolution. The Bible says in Genesis ch. 1 that God created the universe and life in six literal days. This was a supernatural event. This is what many Bible believers believe. That is what I believe. I thank God for the gift of faith to believe this. The theory of evolution is a rejection of God and his almighty power to create everything is six days. Everyone is free to believe what they want, but according to the Bible, rejecting the supernatural has eternal consequences. "11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. " 1 Corinthians 2:11-15 KJV Unless the Holy Spirit of God gives a person the gift of faith to believe the Bible, he will not believe it. There is a battle going on in the world between God and Satan. Satan's destiny is already determined. He is not going to win. But he wants to take as many souls down with him as possible in the meantime. All I can tell you is if you have any interest in knowing the truth, you need to read the King James Bible with an open mind and be born again. Remember we are talking about the supernatural. Read the gospel of John. Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and seen by eye witnesses as recorded in the Bible. This was a supernatural event just as creation was. -
No wonder the Canadian military is in a disastrous condition. No wonder the health care system doesn't have the money it requires and is in a crisis with 6.5 million Canadians with no family doctor and ERs shutting down. People dying on waiting lists in the so-called public health care system. Food prices out of reach for millions who are forced to go to food banks which are running very low. But 32 billion for indigenous issues and billions more to fight climate change. Not to mention the billions spent around the world for various things. quote While the Trudeau government has tripled the amount of money it spends on Indigenous issues from $11 billion annually in 2015 to more than $32 billion earmarked for 2025, it doesn’t appear to be improving the lives of on-reserve Indigenous people, according to a new study by the fiscally conservative Fraser Institute. In “An Avalanche of Money: The Liberal Government’s Policies Toward First Nations,” author Tom Flanagan argues the most effective program at improving the lives of Indigenous people on reserves has been the Liberals’ Canada Child Benefit introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2016 — a universal program that helps all Canadian families, except for those in the highest income brackets. That raises the question of where all of the other federal money being spent specifically on Indigenous issues is going, Flanagan said. He notes that from 2016 to 2021, Statistics Canada’s Community Well-Being Index, which measures the standard of living of communities across the country on the basis of education, employment, income and housing, reported that the average gap between First Nations families living on reserves and other Canadian families was reduced from 19.1 points to 16.3. He argues this occurred mainly due to the increased income the CCB gives to First Nations families living on reserves because they have more children and lower incomes on average than other Canadians. The CCB allocates up to $7,787 annually per child under age six and up to $6,570 annually for children age six to 17. These amounts start to be reduced when a family’s adjusted annual net income is over $36,502 and the Trudeau government says it has lifted hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty. But it also raises the question of where all the money from other federal programs targeted specifically to Indigenous people is going. For example, the Trudeau government has repeatedly broken its 2015 promise to end all drinking water advisories on First Nations reserves by March 2021. According to the latest data available, while the federal government has lifted 147 long-term advisories since 2015, 31 remain in effect in 29 Indigenous communities. Auditor General Karen Hogan reported in 2021 that “Indigenous Services Canada did not provide adequate support to First Nations communities so that they have access to safe drinking water” predicting the problem could continue on some reserves for years In addition to tripling annual spending on Indigenous issues to $32 billion from 2015 to 2025, Flanagan noted the Trudeau government is settling many Indigenous class action lawsuits without litigation, resulting in increasing liabilities for taxpayers. Canada's 'net zero’ greenhouse gas emission targets are ‘wishful thinking’: Report Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux reported in July that the federal government’s estimate of all of its outstanding contingent legal liabilities, as of March 31, 2023, was $76 billion, growing by about 30% annually since 2016, a large portion of this attributed to Indigenous claims. Giroux noted that in 2023, the Trudeau government recorded expenses of $26 billion related to Indigenous litigation in that year alone, and advised parliamentarians to seek better information from the government on how these expenditures impact the government’s budgetary balance. Meanwhile, Flanagan said, specific legal claims with Indigenous groups are being settled by the Trudeau government at a rate four times higher than that of the previous Progressive Conservative government, leading to a significant transfer of land and money to First Nations. “If policy makers in Ottawa want to help Indigenous people, they should look closely at what types of spending policies produce the most tangible benefits,” Flanagan said. unquote GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau gov't tripled spending on Indigenous issues to $32B annually in decade, report says

" Well, Justin has a message for you: It’s going to get even harder, Buster, because he is quite willing to jack up the carbon tax. He knows what the real priority is and it isn’t your kids. It isn’t your mortgage or rent. As of April, the federal minimum tax was set at $80 per tonne of CO2 equivalent, set to increase to $170 in 2030. The carbon tax increases the price of everything and Trudeau is willing to hit you harder. If you and your kids cared about global warming the way he and Guilbeault do, you would train your little offspring to get along on twigs. Perhaps your family could investigate the practice of breatharianism — the belief that a human can survive on air and light. No food required. Just like that cult, Trudeau is treating global warming like a religion. He is a carbon-taxifarian." AGAR: Time for a carbon tax election

If you are talking about the books in the Old Testament that tell the history of the Jews, that was written by Hebrew (Jewish) men under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God. It was written by several dozen authors over a period of more than a thousand years ending around 400 B.C. or ending about 2,400 years ago. The Old Testament history of Israel is recorded in detail in the historical books of the Bible. This website is a brief outline of it. A Brief Chronological History of Old Testament Israel | by David Norczyk | Medium This history says in part: "In all, Old Testament biblical history spans from Adam to John the Baptist. This is a chronological expanse of some 4,100 years with Abraham occupying the center point at roughly 2,000 years before the arrival of Jesus Messiah, the promised God-man sent from heaven to save His people from their sins (Mt 1:21)." I don't know of any other nation which has such a long history and which began as the Jewish nation approximately 4,000 years ago. They are also unique in the fact that their identity as a people survived the past 2,000 years while dispersed throughout the world.

Offhand I don't know whether DNA mutates, but mutation does not add new information. The vast information in a cell did not just happen by accident or chance. It had to have been put there in the beginning by our Creator. There is no other rational explanation. The theory of evolution is untenable. At the time Darwin came up with the theory of evolution he had no idea about DNA. Not much was known about biology at that time. DNA and all the complexity of a basic cell was not known until the mid or latter 20th century. There is many articles on the subject of natural selection. This is just one: It says "Despite the huge resources thrown at evolution in universities and research institutions, natural selection has never been shown to bring about this type of ‘inventive step’." The reason natural selection does not cause evolution is because the information in cells for every species is extremely complex and natural selection never provided that information. It was only provided by our designer-Creator. This is a good article. quote This is an important ‘equation’1 that all people should be aware of, namely ‘Natural Selection does not equal (≠) Evolution’.2 Christians should know it so they do not get conned, and evolutionists should know it as a reminder that they still have lots of work to do to be able to claim that they have a mechanism for evolution. If we think of the word ‘selection’, in our common, daily experience, we select from something pre-existing. How often we hear an example of natural selection being used as proof of evolution. Changing sizes, colours, skin patterns and shapes are often paraded as evolution’s honour roll. This bait-and-switch tactic has been so often exposed for what it is, it’s a wonder that it is still used, or that people are still taken in by it. The very term should put people on their guard that something is missing. If we think of the word ‘selection’, in our common, daily experience, we select from something pre-existing. Think of being asked to select cards from a pack. You could select cards from a pack every second for the rest of your life and all you would only ever produce is different groups of the same cards. You would not have created anything new—only re-arranged cards, or removed cards or added cards from another pack. If an illusionist asks you to select a card from a pack, and surprises you with something new, you know it is an illusion, a sleight of hand. We need to learn to see the evolutionists’ sleight of hand when they claim to have pulled something ‘new’ out of the pack. Selection is always from a pre-existing series or range; it creates nothing new. This illustration applies equally to ‘selection’ in the biological context. The all-wise Creator knew the different environments that His creatures would have to adapt to after the Fall and Curse, and particularly after the Flood of Noah, in order to survive. He included in the genetic information of each ‘kind’ of creature He created a smorgasbord of variety in their makeup. This includes those features that would interact with the environment: the overall size of a plant, animal or person; the size of individual organs or limbs such as beaks and noses, leaf sizes, skin colours, hair and feather lengths, textures and colours. All of these and many more variations were programmed into the DNA of His creatures in order that as populations of the various kinds moved into new environments, expression of those variations enabled individuals to survive those environments. Individuals with those variations then passed them on to their young. When these variations and the habitat of the population expressing that variation are distinct enough, we might distinguish different ‘species’. In all of this selection process, new information is never added. It can be conserved or lost, but never gained. © CMI The creationist chemist/zoologist Edward Blyth (1810–1873) wrote about natural selection about 25 years before Darwin misappropriated it to support his theory of evolution. Blyth clearly saw this remarkable phenomenon as arising from the providence of the all-wise, all-knowing, ingenious Creator God. Knowing God’s love for beauty (reflected in men and women who are made in His image), God probably also had in mind the spectacular array of birds, fish, dogs and cats that we have varied by ‘artificial selection’ purely for the sake of ‘beauty’ rather than survival.3 But whether variation is selected naturally by the environment, or artificially by breeders for a particular trait, it remains just that, ‘selection’ from existing genetic information. Nothing new is created. Evolution desperately needs ‘Natural Invention’, ‘Natural Novelty’ and ‘Natural Creation’. Patent law calls for a product to have an ‘inventive step’ in order for it to be patented. Mere changes in design of an existing product cannot be patented. Many legal battles over patent rights have been waged over this point. Evolution requires the same thing—an ‘inventive step’, a novel organ or body part, facilitated by new information in the DNA that wasn’t there before. Despite the huge resources thrown at evolution in universities and research institutions, natural selection has never been shown to bring about this type of ‘inventive step’. Today’s Darwinists point to mutations as the mechanism which provides this novelty from which ‘Natural Selection’ selects. Evolutionists should then focus on mutations to defend their theory, instead of ‘Natural Selection’. When pressed for examples of novel genetic information or body organs created by mutation, they typically point to instances such as wingless beetles4 on islands, or the flightless cormorant on the Galapagos islands.5 The problem with these examples is obvious. While they may confer a benefit to the creatures in a specific, very unusual environment, nothing ‘new’ is added to the DNA or creatures’ body parts. They actually involve a loss or corruption of existing genetic information.6 Evolution desperately needs ‘Natural Invention’, ‘Natural Novelty’ and ‘Natural Creation’. ‘Natural Selection’ just does not pass muster as exhibit A for evolution. Rather, it is a wonderful tribute to God’s design, and His providence for a fallen world. Natural Selection ≠ Evolution. unquote Natural selection ≠ evolution The fact is the first cells that God created had a vast amount of information in them. This could not have happened by chance. It had to have a Creator-Designer we call God. -

Whose fault is that? So instead give some illegal migrant or fake refugee that just walks across the border or any refugee for that matter $224 a day or $81,760 a year. There are billions of people in the world living in poverty. Why not force Canadians to support millions of them? Isn't that what your Socialism says should be done? That's what the U.N. wants you to do. There are millions of Canadians who have lived and worked here all their lives and don't earn near that much money. If you don't see the insanity of this, nothing anybody says will help.

Two points which you don't understand. Many Christians and churches give money to charitable causes. So when you accuse Christians of not giving enough or not giving any, you are lying. You have no idea what they give. Christians don't go around broadcasting what they give because they are warned about not boasting about any good they do. The Bible says if they boast then they have their reward now, not in heaven. Secondly, Socialism or Communism is contrary to the Bible because it is stealing. When government takes a person's money to give to other people, that is what Communism or Socialism is all about and it is stealing. What gives you the right to say you should have what your neighbour has and the government should take it for you?

Michael Hardner finds that funny? Give us a break. Explain yourself. Michael you are out of touch with reality, just as the Liberals are. Canadians are paying for this disaster of a government.

"Premier David Eby says he will use his new, diminished, one-seat majority government to reach out to rural British Columbia, an area that largely rejected his party in the election. But, he says, he’ll only be speaking to those he deems hold acceptable views, part of a new “bright-line” that will limit his cooperation." Premier Eby vows to only work with MLAs who hold acceptable views - Northern Beat This hard-line leftist attitude foreshadows a very conflicted legislature and likely means not much will be agreed on or accomplished. Coming in with fists up is a kind of declaration of war. It does not bode well for the newly-elected government of B.C. An elected government should be attempting to represent all the citizens of B.C. That should include the other half of the voters that voted for the opposition party, at least as much as possible. It should not mean clinging to a radical, woke, progressive agenda that half the people of B.C. reject. Most of rural B.C. citizens voted for the BC Conservatives. Premier Eby says he will reach out to these voters. How about reaching out to the BC Conservative members of the legislature whom these rural voters elected? It is the MLAs who debate and vote on legislation in the legislature. The rural voters don't make the laws. They are not in the legislature. It is some of the MLAs that Eby says he is not going to speak to because he has black-listed them. So I wonder how that works when he comes out strongly and rejects anything they stand for. Many Conservatives do not support the NDP's woke agenda on such things as the SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) curriculum in schools. So is he going to persist in wanting to continue to teach school kids that transgenderism (changing one's sex) is normal? Is he going to condemn people who oppose the LGBTQ / SOGI agenda or call them names or make other false accusations against people? Is this the kind of cooperation he has planned? What exactly does he mean when he says he is going to reach out to rural B.C. while he claims he is not going to speak to those MLAs he deems hold unacceptable views?

"Michael Higgins: The woke takeover of Remembrance Day" " Left to our virtue-signalling elites, our hapless leaders and our ignorant educators, Canada would have forsworn its solemn duty to remember the dead and honour those who served. Thankfully, ordinary Canadians are less susceptible to the vagaries of woke culture and DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policies, and understand that bravery, duty and sacrifice are virtues that require us occasionally to pause, reflect and honour those who served. But what can we say to the likes of Aaron Hobbs , the principal of Ottawa’s Sir Robert Borden High School, whose characterization of Remembrance Day was that it was usually about “a white guy who has done something related to the military”? Hobbs’ insult to every Canadian who has served and serves still was made in defence of allowing an Arabic-language Palestinian protest song to be played during a Remembrance Day assembly at the school. Only after righteous anger ensued did Hobbs issue a pro forma apology. Remembrance Day should have been about honouring those “who have sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we hold dear,” he said in a statement. The inclusion of the song was not in line with the schools “values of respect and unity.” Whatever values Hobbs seeks to instill in his young students, virtue is not one of them."

Why do you think the lefty liberal government brought in medical assistance in dying (MAID) or assisted suicide? Not to mention the federal government is pushing abortion as a good choice for women. This is no lie if you have read what they have been saying and doing. That includes the new liberal Premier of New Brunswick who advocates abortion. MAID and abortion, mainly for the white people, who are dumb enough to do it. Probably cuts the white population of Canada down by around 100,000 per year, while liberals bring in around 300,000 to 500,000 immigrants and fake refugees per year from the the third world. We can see the destiny of white people in Canada. -
This is the first I have heard of this. Has Trudeau really spent 9 million dollars of taxpayer money to subsidize a cricket factory in Canada? Appears to be true. Is this part of Trudeau's war on climate change? By changing Canadian diets does he hope to reduce fossil fuel emissions? I wonder if this comes from the World Economic Forum (WEF). "FIRST READING: Trudeau’s $9 million bet on edible crickets runs into trouble TOP STORY Just two years after the Trudeau government put up nearly $9 million to help build the world’s largest edible cricket factory, the facility is dramatically cutting staff and production in what they say is an extended retooling. Aspire Food Group, which cut the ribbon last year on a 150,000-square-foot edible cricket factory in London, Ont., has just laid off two thirds of its workforce and significantly cut back shifts, saying they need to make “some improvements to its manufacturing system.” Speaking to the trade publication AgFunderNews, Aspire CEO David Rosenberg said the company “will be running the production line four times a week instead of two shifts a day every day. We’re 150 people down to 50 and we plan on hiring back up in July.” This is despite very generous grants from the Trudeau government. In June 2022, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada announced a grant of “up to $8.5 million” to build a “commercial facility to produce cricket protein.” What resulted was a factory billed by Aspire as the “world’s largest cricket production facility.” As per a CBC profile published at its grand opening, the factory was to house four billion crickets at any one time, and churn out 13 million kilograms of edible crickets each year. Aspire’s signature pitch – and one of the main reasons they attracted federal government attention – is that crickets have a lower environmental footprint than meat or dairy. The 2022 Government of Canada statement announcing the $8.5 million grant mentioned this several times. The subsidy would help Aspire produce “high volumes of nutritious food with a low environmental footprint” and “meet global demand for food by using less water, energy and space and emitting significantly less greenhouse gas emissions.” FIRST READING: Trudeau’s $9 million bet on edible crickets runs into trouble If this doesn't prove the insanity of this government, nothing will.

The post national state under Trudeau and the Liberals has been a complete disaster. Liberal ideology shows no signs of changing so the downward spiral will continue. "The Liberals have consistently exhibited a serious lack of judgment, understanding of Khalistani extremism , and recognition of India’s regional security priorities when dealing with New Delhi. Whether it was Trudeau’s calamitous “ Bollywood adventure ” India trip in 2018, or the handling of the Nijjar assassination case, the Liberals have been way out of their depth when it comes to deploying a charm offensive to woo the Modi government. A sensible and competent statesman would have resorted to backroom diplomacy to convince India to join the RCMP investigation into the Nijjar assassination case to ensure that the bilateral ties between Canada and India remained intact. Instead, the eternal showman that he is, Trudeau opted for an image-based communications strategy and partisan mudslinging . Consequentially, Canada’s relationship with a natural ally is in tatters, and a foreign conflict that has nothing to do with Canadians has spilled onto the streets. These outcomes are hardly surprising for a government obsessed with social engineering and virtue-signaling. Promoting post-national multiculturalism with pretentious statements like “You come here, you can be who you are” and “ There is no core identity , no mainstream in Canada,” offer little to no incentive to newcomers to assimilate into Canadian society in any meaningful way. On the contrary, multiculturalism undermines national unity, and equal individual rights as minority interests and rights are prioritized instead. Even Quebec Premier François Legault recognizes the threat multiculturalism poses to the French language and Quebec culture. After years of appeasing certain groups and excusing the violence on the streets, the Trudeau government has succeeded in turning Canada into a dumpster fire for cultural grievances. Instead of enforcing the rule of law to deter rioters and pro-terror supporters, preachy platitudes like “This is not who we are as Canadians” are offered. Then again, appeasement politics, not law and order, has been the hallmark of the Trudeau government. Allies, not extremists, are abandoned if it translates into votes. These tendencies are also best illustrated by the Liberals’ willful blindness to the increasingly hostile pro-terror protests and attacks against the Jewish community that have continued incessantly for over a year."

Well, I guess everyone must decide themselves about everything they read. We all depend on information, reports, history books, etc. to know what happened in the world in the past. Sometimes, you can check more than one source to verify whether something is true or not. I think most of the history of what happened to the Jews is pretty well common history. I quoted some things from Wikipedia and the Encyclopedia Britannica. You can investigate anything you want and see if it is true or not. I can't spend hours trying to find other sources to verify what seems like pretty common information. The Holocaust is very common and well-established history. There are many sources of information and many graves and photos of piles of bodies. Not many question the Holocaust. As for Hitler's anti-Semitism, there were many publications put out during the Nazi era which clearly show the Nazi's plan to carry out the final solution. Hitler and the Nazis had been working on this for years. Some of the publications were propaganda designed to turn the whole country against the Jews. Don't believe the propaganda books which attack the Jews. I have a book that goes into some detail about Gerhard Kittel who was one of Hitler's anti-Semite propaganda men. I have learned some interesting yet shocking facts about him. He was also the editor and producer of the 10 volume Greek New Testament dictionary which has been used by modern Bible translators in the production of the modern versions of the Bible. Yet he was convicted of war crimes and went to prison. You can Google him and find out about this. Some of the modern Bible versions have been found to be tainted with changes that are anti-Semitic. The Bible version issue has been one of my interests for many decades. The only trustworthy Bible is the King James Version otherwise known as the Authorized Version. So if you ever get a Bible, don't forget that. It is God's written revelation to man and is entirely trustworthy. Don't waste your life without studying it. Become a son of God and know where you will spend eternity. Ye must be born again. We live in a fallen world and everyone is born with a fallen corrupt nature and needs to be redeemed. There is a battle going on in the world between Satan and God over the souls of mankind. Only the King James Bible can tell you in the most effective way how your soul can be saved.

I assume you mean the book tries to claim the Jews were world conquerors? That is an old lie used as an excuse for anti-Semitism. You have to do some studying to understand where these lies come from. I hope you were able to glean something from all the effort I put into giving you the history of the anti-Semitism in the world. I learned something myself at the same time. I guess there is some benefit to researching these things.

The Jews were expelled from many places down through history. Even in the 20th century alone, there were many expulsions. quote 20th century 1917 Jews expelled from the area of Jaffa by Ottoman authorities during World War I. First Batch of Refugee children arrive in England from Germany Buchenwald survivors arrive in Haifa 1933–1957 The Nazi German persecution started with the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses in 1933, reached a first climax during Kristallnacht in 1938 and culminated in the Holocaust of European Jewry. The 1938 Evian Conference, the 1943 Bermuda Conference and other attempts failed to resolve the problem of Jewish refugees, a fact widely used in Nazi propaganda.[note 2] A small number of German and Austrian Jewish refugees from Nazism emigrated to Britain, where attitudes were not necessarily positive.[54] Many of the refugees fought for Britain in the Second World War. Already before the Holocaust, by February 1940, the expulsion of Poles by Nazi Germany from occupied western Poland also targeted some 20,000 Polish Jews.[55] There was a special institution set up in 1939 to coordinate the expulsion, initially named the Special Staff for the Resettlement of Poles and Jews (Sonderstab für die Aussiedlung von Polen und Juden), soon renamed to Office for the Resettlement of Poles and Jews (Amt für Umsiedlung der Polen und Juden), and eventually to Central Bureau for Resettlement (Umwandererzentralstelle).[56] After the war, central and eastern European Holocaust survivors migrated to the western Allied-controlled part of Europe, as the Jewish society to which most of them belonged did not exist anymore. Often they were lone survivors consumed by the often futile search for other family and friends, and often unwelcome in the towns from which they came. They were known as displaced persons (also known as Sh'erit ha-Pletah) and placed in displaced persons camps, most of which were by 1951 closed. The last camp Föhrenwald was closed in 1957. 1940 During World War II, the so-called June Deportation, carried out by the Soviet Union in June and July 1940, as the fourth of five waves of mass deportations of Polish citizens from Soviet-occupied eastern Poland, also targeted some 65,000 Polish Jews who fled from the German-occupied part of Poland.[57] According to the NKVD, Polish Jews accounted for 85% of people deported in the June Deportation.[57] The victims were deported to the Altai Krai, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Irkutsk Oblast, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Novosibirsk Oblast, Omsk Oblast, Sverdlovsk Oblast and Yakutia in Siberia, and Arkhangelsk Oblast, Komi, Mari, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Perm Oblast and Vologda Oblast in European Russia.[58] 1943–1944 Jews are expelled, their citizenship is stripped from them and they are subjected to pogroms in some Italian cities, including Rome, Verona, Florence, Pisa and Alessandria.[59] 1947–1972 Jewish refugees look out through the portholes of a ship while it is docked in the port city of Haifa. Iraqi Jews displaced 1951. The Exodus bringing in refugees. In the course of the operation "Magic Carpet" (1949–1950), most of the community of Yemenite Jews (called Teimanim, about 49,000) immigrated to Israel. The Jewish exodus from the Muslim world, in which the combined population of the Jewish communities of the Middle East and North Africa (excluding Israel) was reduced from about 900,000 in 1948 to under 8,000 today, and approximately 600,000 of them became citizens of Israel. The history of the exodus is politicized, given its proposed relevance to a final settlement to the Israeli–Palestinian peace negotiations.[60][61][62][63][64][65] When presenting the history, those who view the Jewish exodus as equivalent to the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight, such as the Israeli government and NGOs such as JJAC and JIMENA, emphasize "push factors", such as cases of anti-Jewish violence and forced expulsions,[60] and refer to those affected as "refugees".[60] Those who argue that the exodus does not equate to the Palestinian exodus emphasize "pull factors", such as the actions of local Jewish Agency for Israel officials aiming to fulfil the One Million Plan,[62] highlight good relations between the Jewish communities and their country's governments,[64] emphasize the impact of other push factors such as the decolonization in the Maghreb and the Suez War and Lavon Affair in Egypt,[64] and argue that many or all of those who left were not refugees.[60][62] Then UNHCR announced in February 1957 and in July 1967, that these Jews who had fled from Arab countries "may be considered prima facie within the mandate of this office," so according them in international law, as bona fide refugees.[66] 1947 Egypt passed the Companies' Law. This law required that no less than 75% of employees of companies in Egypt must be Egyptian citizens. This law strongly affected Jews, as only about 20% of all Jews in Egypt were Egyptian citizens. The rest, although in many cases born in Egypt and living there for generations, did not hold Egyptian citizenship. 1948 State of Israel established. Antisemitism in Egypt strongly intensified. On May 15, 1948, emergency law was declared, and a royal decree forbade Egyptian citizens to leave the country without a special permit. This was applied to Jews. Hundreds of Jews were arrested and many had their property confiscated. In June through August 1948, bombs were planted in Jewish neighborhoods and Jewish businesses looted. About 250 Jews were killed or wounded by the bombs. Roughly 14,000 Jews left Egypt between 1948 and 1950. 1949 Jordan occupies and then annexes the West Bank – largely allotted by the 1947 UN Partition of Palestine to an Arab state, proposal rejected by the Arab leadership – and conducts large scale discrimination and persecution of all non-Muslim residents – Jewish, Christian (of many denominations), Druze, Circassian, etc. – and forces Arabisation of all public activity, including schools and public administration.[67] 1951–1952 During Operation Ezra and Nehemiah, ~120,000 Jews are expelled under the De-Naturalization Act of Iraqi PM Tawfeeq Al-Suwaidi.[68][69][70][71][72] 1954 Gamal Abdel Nasser seizes power in Egypt. Nasser immediately arrested many Jews who were tried on various charges, mainly for Zionist and communist activities. Jews were forced to donate large sums of money to the military. Strict supervision of Jewish enterprises was introduced; some were confiscated and others forcibly sold to the government.[better source needed] 1956 Suez Crisis. Roughly 3,000 Egyptian Jews were interned without charge in four detention camps. The government ordered thousands of Jews to leave the country within a few days, and they were not allowed to sell their property, nor to take any capital with them. The deportees were made to sign statements agreeing not to return to Egypt and transferring their property to the administration of the government. The International Red Cross helped about 8,000 stateless Jews to leave the country, taking most of them to Italy and Greece. Most of the Jews of Port Said (about 100) were smuggled to Israel by Israel agents. The system of deportation continued into 1957. Other Jews left voluntarily, after their livelihoods had been taken from them, until only 8,561 were registered in the 1957 census. The Jewish exodus continued until there were about 3,000 Jews left as of in 1967. 1962 Jews flee Algeria as result of FLN violence. The community feared that the proclamation of independence would precipitate a Muslim outburst. By the end of July 1962, 70,000 Jews had left for France and another 5,000 for Israel. It is estimated that some 80% of Algerian Jews settled in France. 1965 Situation of Jews in Algeria rapidly deteriorates. By 1969, fewer than 1,000 Jews remain. By the 1990s, the numbers had dwindled to approximately 70.[better source needed] 1967 Six-Day War. Hundreds of Egyptian Jews arrested, suffering beatings, torture, and abuse. Some were released following intervention by foreign states, especially by Spain, and were permitted to leave the country. Libyan Jews, who numbered approximately 7,000, were subjected to pogroms in which 18 were killed, prompting a mass exodus that left fewer than 100 Jews in Libya. 1968 1968 Polish political crisis forced thousands of Jews to leave communist Poland. 1970 Less than 1,000 Jews still lived in Egypt in 1970. They were given permission to leave but without their possessions. As of 1971, only 400 Jews remained in Egypt. As of 2013, only a few dozen Jews remain in Egypt. As of 2019, there were five in Cairo.[73] As of 2022 the total number of known Egyptian Jews permanently residing in Egypt is three.[74][75] 1970–1986 State-sponsored persecution in the Soviet Union prompted hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews, known as Refuseniks because they had been denied official permission to leave, to flee; most went to Israel or to the United States as refugees.[76] 1972 Idi Amin expels all Israelis from Uganda.[77] 1984–1985 10,000 Jews flee Ethiopia as part of Operation Moses and Operation Joshua. 1991 14,000 Jews flee Ethiopia as part of Operation Solomon. 21st century 2003 Last Jew left Libya.[78] 2010 Contact with last two Jews in Somalia was lost.[79] 2021 Last Jews left Afghanistan.[80] 2021 The Jewish population of Yemen decreases from 18 to six,[81][82][83] and later to five by 2024.[84] unquote Expulsions and exoduses of Jews - Wikipedia

That is a very sad comment. The Jews have been the target of practically all of Europe, Russia, and probably other countries where there were any for the past nearly 2000 years. They have been deported from countries, legislated against in various ways and driven into ghettos. This link gives a history of many of the expulsions of the Jews from various places. Expulsions and exoduses of Jews - Wikipedia In the early 1940s they were hunted down all over Europe where the Nazis were in control and shipped to death camps in Poland as the final solution. They were told they were being re-settled in eastern Europe. Approximately six million were killed by the Nazis or around 60% of the Jews in Europe. You said in at least one previous post why were the Jews victimized. There are several reasons for this. As far as Hitler and the Nazis were concerned, one reason was the bizarre notion of Aryan superiority and Jewish inferiority. Some of Hitler's library material discovered by the U.S. Army showed personally marked occult books. Hitler kept a copy of Luciferian occultist, Madame Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine by his bedside! From the book New Age Bible Versions. It also says Hitler's book talked about fables of the new fifth root race of 'divine' Aryans, battling the inferior old Jewish root race, coupled with its call for the open worship of Lucifer over Jehovah. (who Blavatsky identifies as 'Satan'). Other reasons for the historical anti-Semitism throughout Europe down through the centuries include the hate by the Roman Catholic church and the age old forced conversions of Jews to Catholicism. Then there is the historic belief that the Jews should be punished for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jews have also been historically accused of trying to take over the world, the banking systems, etc. Many false claims have been made against them. These are some of the reasons for the persecution. There was also the false "blood libel" accusation in the middle ages. This was a very harmful false allegation. You probably know more now than most people about the reasons for anti-Semitism. Blood libel | Anti-Semitism & Historical Context | Britannica Estimated Number of Jews Killed in the Final Solution The following map shows the routes that were used to ship them to the death camps. Deportations | Holocaust Encyclopedia One thing Canada could do, considering the increasing anti-Semitism in Canada, is have a national Holocaust remembrance day similar to the Canada's National Aboriginal Day. It doesn't have to be a statutory holiday. Just a recognized day. There should also be a carefully planned national education program in schools to teach kids what happened to Jews in the past 2,000 years.
