The Palestinian Canadian Congress (PCC) has commissioned a pivotal new survey to investigate the alarming prevalence of Anti-Palestinian Racism (APR) in Canada. As a leading advocate for Palestinian communities, PCC’s initiative aims to address the increasing targeting of Palestinians and their allies, while bringing much-needed attention to APR as a distinct and pervasive form of discrimination.

The findings are both significant and revealing, with 81.4% of respondents sharing their personal experiences of APR. This issue extends far beyond one community, with 31% of those affected identifying as White/Caucasian, emphasizing that APR impacts individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those born in Canada. With 80.8% of respondents recognizing APR as a serious problem, this report provides a critical examination of an issue that has long been overlooked.

We invite to review the full survey report to learn about the survey methodology, its questions and their responses.
