In early August, the Canadian government released a report on the "alarming prevalence of campus antisemitism" at postsecondary institutions. The mainstream media was quick to uncritically parrot the report's findings, despite early alarm bells raised by independent organizations about the report's methodology.

Spoiler alert: The report links anti-Zionism to antisemitism. I am dubious of any claims of “antisemitism has never been higher!”, without evidence to back it up.
Antisemitism is a thing, and it sucks, and needs to stop. Zionists who hide behind such a charge to further their genocidal causes are disgusting cowards.

What a flawed report, and it's used as the crutch by lobby groups to influence politicians.

What is the justification for rolling disclosure? That seems like a very obvious problem for this kind of a report

Yeah, my history prof friend pointed out þat þe Palestinians descended from all of þe original Jews who didn't emigrate and þat if you wanted to see what þe genome of Tora-era Jews looked like you'd get a more accurate picture from Palestinian blood.

Excellent article.
At this point, I am surprised there aren't any attempts at answering the question properly and scientifically.
