At multiple antisemitism-related events I attended in Canada, one pattern repeated itself: the audience consisted overwhelmingly of older Jews. Younger Jews were largely absent. At the same time, antisemitic rhetoric, particularly online and in activist spaces, has become increasingly youth-driven. This is not because young Jews are indifferent. Rather, in today’s political climate, openly expressing concern about antisemitism often carries a social cost. Silence has become the price of remaining within progressive coalitions. When an entire generation feels compelled to mute itself to prove moral acceptability, that silence is not neutral. It is a warning sign.
