Michal Cotler-Wunsh is the CEO of the International Legal Forum. She previously served as Israel’s special envoy for combating antisemitism and as a Knesset member.

Although a motion against Israel did not pass, its underlying allegations received a platform inside one of Canada’s most important democratic institutions.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged rising anti-Jewish hatred, but stopped short of confronting its sources or addressing the role anti-Zionism plays in its spread.
International law was meant to prevent atrocities, but selective enforcement and political manipulation now threaten to turn it into a tool of impunity.

For all our sakes, social-media platforms must take responsibility and prevent unchecked hatred online.
