How antisemitism signals a broader attack on the West

Michal Cotler-Wunsh, former Israeli Knesset member and CEO of the International Legal Forum, discusses the systematic weaponization of international law against Israel and Western democracies. She argues that institutions like the UN and ICC have been hijacked to redefine terms like “genocide” and “apartheid,” creating permission structures for attacks on democratic nations. Cotler-Wunsh examines how antizionism serves as modern antisemitism, the erosion of bipartisan support for Israel, and why Western democracies must demonstrate moral courage in defending foundational principles and holding corrupted institutions accountable.

Fault Lines examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together. We look beyond headlines to understand how institutions, communities, and democratic norms are fraying. Our mission is to show how better choices can repair what is broken.
