Hello, my friends. Today, I want to give you a taste of what we saw at the rally for the Jewish
00:00:04.480
people in Ottawa. And one of the best speeches was by someone who's not Jewish himself, but rather
00:00:09.860
our friend Rex Murphy. But before I get to that, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel
00:00:14.520
News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click
00:00:21.000
subscribe. It's eight bucks a month, which I know it's not a lot of dough to you, but boy, it sure
00:00:24.980
adds up for us. And that's how we pay our bills, because we don't take any money from Trudeau,
00:00:28.940
and it shows. All right, here's today's podcast.
00:00:45.880
Tonight, thousands of people rally for the Jewish people. I'll give you a taste of what we saw today
00:00:51.860
in Ottawa. It's December 4th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:10.560
Oh, hi, everybody. I'm standing in this snowfall in Ottawa. Last time I was in Ottawa, and it was
00:01:17.080
this cold. It was for the trucker convoy a year and a half ago. Well, today I was here for a rally for
00:01:22.500
the Jewish people. That's what it was called. It wasn't called pro-Israel. It wasn't called anti-Hamas.
00:01:27.380
But I think it was both of those things, too. Now, we did a lot of interviews, and we recorded a lot
00:01:32.540
of speeches, and it just ended moments ago. So in the interest of timing, we're going to give you a
00:01:38.800
sneak peek of what we saw today, and we'll have the main show for you tomorrow. I did about 10 little
00:01:45.960
interviews asking ordinary people. We call those streeters, man on the street interviews. I want to
00:01:51.260
show you those. We also talked to an MP. We recorded some speeches. We're going to have all of it for you
00:01:56.460
tomorrow, but I want to give you just a little taste of perhaps the highlight of any event where
00:02:02.200
he speaks. I want to show you the entirety of Rex Murphy's remarks today, and then come right back
00:02:09.780
because I'm going to show you some other coverage that we've had across the country. So don't go away,
00:02:15.340
but here is Rex Murphy in his blazing glory. First of all, it's really lovely to be on
00:02:24.200
Parliament Hill in a Newfoundland summer. I've got to start off with something truly serious.
00:02:34.760
You see behind me, it's understood that on Parliament Hill, I'm going to be particular.
00:02:41.680
One of the leaders of the party is regarded as the best-dressed person on Parliament Hill.
00:02:51.340
I'm about to take that title away from him. I am now the best-dressed person on Parliament Hill.
00:03:01.740
Not only the best-dressed, but as thousands of Canadians have said over the years,
00:03:20.000
he is the most unbelievably handsome human being on the face of the earth.
00:03:24.920
Listen, I wish there were about 10 to 15 times the number that is here.
00:03:36.960
I congratulate all of you who are here, but this is one of the most deeply moral movements
00:03:46.520
of this entire century. It is. It is an amazing thing. I have been unable, normally it's not a task,
00:04:03.960
I have been unable to find the words to fit the occasion when on November 7th,
00:04:12.600
some extremely brave, almost, almost crusading knights came and hit a music festival.
00:04:24.640
They came with armaments and armor and flying equipment, and they took on three-year-olds,
00:04:31.400
and they took on two-year-olds, and they took on 87-year-olds, and they shot people unarmed at a music festival.
00:04:44.280
This was one of the most black atrocities of our times, and we have had so, so many.
00:04:56.540
What does it take? What does it take for an adult, a man, or a woman with a gun
00:05:05.220
to look into the eyes of an eight-month-old baby
00:05:11.960
and either shoot it or haul it off to a dark tunnel for two months after slaughtering its parents?
00:05:23.140
This is the horror of the people who hate Jews. Do not wash it. Do not dilute it.
00:05:40.780
Look at it in the face and understand that there are motivations so deep
00:05:46.920
and there are minds so psychotic that they could walk into the very face of innocence,
00:06:01.980
I'm from a place called Irish Town, Newfoundland, and my last name is Murphy.
00:06:09.980
So that's a good range away from Israel, but this afternoon, and without rhetoric,
00:06:19.240
in my mind, in my heart, in my viscera, in my spirit, in my aspirations,
00:06:34.300
But only if you will have me, because it is not a presumption.
00:06:51.540
We cannot calibrate the sorrow and, for once, the proper use of the word trauma.
00:07:09.880
We use trauma now when people walk by the titles of books that they don't like
00:07:20.820
Trauma happened on November 7th by the thousands.
00:07:33.620
You hear the damn word from the mouths of the people who infest this building behind me.
00:07:42.900
What was traumatic to that mother who went searching for her seven-year-old girl
00:07:51.540
What was trauma for the seven-year-old girl who saw her parents shot?
00:08:19.080
But the substance of what I'm saying, date or not,
00:08:26.640
1,200 people in 2023 on a Saturday morning in a music festival,
00:08:35.160
if that had occurred in England, in France, in Australia, in any Western country.
00:08:43.340
Those numbers, that butchery, that savagery, that extremity of rape,
00:08:50.220
that hauling away of children, the world would still be spinning with horror and rage.
00:08:56.280
And yet so many have attempted to erase that day.
00:09:06.480
And now when you slaughter, rape, torture, and kill, you want a holiday.
00:09:23.360
The reason that Israel exists, the Jews in this audience know it.
00:09:29.400
Those of you who are supporting it and are therefore really good human beings, you know it too.
00:09:37.780
Because one of the demons from hell, Adolf Hitler, in the 1930s and 40s,
00:09:46.440
put into motion the industrial death machine of Nazism
00:09:52.580
and wiped out with torture, dogs, whips, scorns, and gas.
00:09:59.660
Six million Jewish people because they were Jewish and for no other reason.
00:10:10.880
It was the greatest act of hate in the entire history of this sad, sad planet.
00:10:20.960
And can you believe that four years later, a half-awake world said,
00:10:26.380
We will build a sanctuary state for those that are remaining that Hitler didn't get.
00:10:34.580
We will give to the Jews a state where they can feel safe.
00:10:42.900
And on the first day that that sanctuary state was established, they were attacked.
00:10:50.020
The very first day, the Jewish state was attacked in its cradle.
00:11:00.160
And through the progress of Israel from that day to this day, consider this.
00:11:06.400
They have built the greatest democracy in the world.
00:11:20.320
They had to build it while they had to endure successive wars,
00:11:32.400
And not only that, under the pressure of multiple wars,
00:11:44.740
They have earned their democracy through their valor.
00:11:57.840
Do you want to know why anti-Semitism is so deep?
00:12:01.880
I can quote you lines that are 3,000 years old.
00:12:10.680
there I wept when I remembered thee, O Jerusalem.
00:13:26.080
because they sell books and happen to be Jewish,
00:13:40.960
It's an eagle flying on the most tumultuous winds.
00:13:46.900
Israel is the one granter of a genuine democracy.
00:13:59.320
The people who should support you are not here.
00:14:16.560
we need to have a little bit of day class in this rally.
00:14:19.960
So we're going to find the worst Newfoundlander we have,
00:14:22.840
and we're going to let him have the microphone.
00:14:34.140
Tomorrow, we'll have speeches by Anthony Housefather,
00:14:40.880
the Conservative MP and Deputy Leader of the party.
00:14:59.880
which I think are really put your finger on the pulse
00:15:07.700
let me leave you with the best of Rebel News' coverage
00:15:11.980
of the street protests and rallies for and against
00:15:21.640
with the heart of our coverage of today's rally.
00:16:12.920
against not only a yeshiva that was shot by bullet
00:16:30.260
of their last event that they planned here in Concordia
00:17:07.220
some examples, there is a massive police presence
00:17:15.280
so let's check what they have to say to me today.
00:19:23.780
I was here last week on Wednesday when the fights broke out and there's videos and we're
00:19:31.280
just we're doing our we're doing our rituals and everybody's yelling and screaming in the
00:19:35.380
background and we don't care it doesn't bother us we're here to have the proud Jewish identity
00:19:39.960
as you can see last week it was a lot harder than this week this week we have security we
00:19:45.280
have police last week was a little bit wild but we were there the same way same idea bring them
00:19:51.540
back home the 240 children elderly mothers fathers and grandparents bring them back
00:19:57.040
home now and I'm Israel hi these are nations with common aspirations who must unite with each other
00:20:10.020
to free themselves from the grip of the oppressive regime of the Islamic Republic
00:20:21.540
this is Daphna now she was an organizer of this event very involved in the efforts to bring the
00:20:27.800
hostages home you can find them online by searching bring them home why was it important to organize
00:20:33.100
this rally because I think there's so many things going on that I don't want the hostages to be
00:20:38.160
forgotten and people forget that they're human you know you about humanity and so many things
00:20:42.800
are mixed up with politics and the war and everything and those are people who were actually
00:20:47.900
abducted 6 30 in the morning still in their pajamas just people bursting in and and and and and being
00:20:54.320
very very brutal and I don't want this to be lost because it's been three 23 days and nothing is done
00:21:00.920
about we don't know where they are we don't know if the kids are fed we don't know if the elderly have
00:21:05.660
medication we have no idea what's going on with them and it could happen in any western country because
00:21:10.700
that's what happened it's not a it wasn't a war zone it wasn't soldiers against soldiers it was
00:21:15.180
it was families and it could have could have been my family and we everyone in the jewish community
00:21:20.600
or israeli has some connection to someone there we we heard a few people today and and I know a few
00:21:25.820
of them so it's it all integrates and it's it's more it's we want to bring I wanted to bring up the
00:21:30.700
humanity the crisis of you and of the human human side of it and not talk politics not talk religion just
00:21:36.940
human to human and and I think that's the best way for people to reach out and not to forget them
00:21:42.320
because it's the number is 239 amongst them there are 30 kids it's I can't imagine I cannot I just
00:21:49.500
beyond my it's shocking it still is shocking after three weeks all right so here are some from the
00:21:55.160
Vancouver Iranian monarch kids community why is it important for you guys to be a part of this today
00:22:01.940
well it's our natural duty because we share a really rich history with the jewish people that spans over two and a half
00:22:11.920
millennia two two five hundred years essentially and because of that and we're not it's not only just
00:22:18.320
the jewish people that are going through all sorts of oppression right now we are going through a lot
00:22:22.420
of oppression back at home in iran uh you know with the killing of massa with you know the killing of all
00:22:29.860
these impressionable iranian youth that had a future that was taken away from them from the murderous
00:22:35.300
bloodthirsty islamic republic and we feel oh what the jewish people are feeling today
00:22:40.200
what do you make of you know today there were signs of the hostages but we're also seeing online
00:22:46.640
people actually tearing down those same images what do you make of that it's blatant anti-semitism it's
00:22:52.320
just it's just disgusting I can't there's no other way you can put it are you happy with Canada's
00:22:58.400
response to what's happening right now with Israel and Hamas absolutely not no primarily we want to
00:23:05.620
free the hostages we're you know this is a march about uh the sovereignty of Israel and you know
00:23:12.180
basic humanity which is why we're marching with um the Vancouver Iranian community who are struggling
00:23:17.680
with the same thing under the current uh oppressive regime so yeah this is a this is an important
00:23:23.180
march for all of us this is as you can see a very peaceful rally there is no hatred being a spouse
00:23:29.800
to anyone here and we all as always we have to be on watch for the pro hamas demonstrators to crash the
00:23:38.540
rally that always lingers in the background in the meantime let's go out into this gathering and find out
00:23:46.240
what is drawing people to this event to steal a baby from their crib after murdering their
00:23:52.840
parents let alone to kidnap 239 people is a crime against humanity
00:24:04.440
why do you think we have seen so much anti-semitism on the streets of Canada and for that matter the world
00:24:13.560
yeah probably if you let these speeches hate speeches and promote these hate speeches
00:24:22.680
over the uh country you probably will see the anti-semitism people who are pro hamas pro-palestine
00:24:29.400
they like to be the victims and now israeli side all of a sudden is a victim and it's a fact we have
00:24:37.240
to pick if we are on the side of terror or if we are on the side of humanity when innocent people were
00:24:44.360
killed we have to support israel in the in its fight for humanity for people for life it doesn't take much to
00:24:51.960
realize who the bad guys are the bad guys are the baby kidnappers the vibe at a pro-israeli rally like
00:24:58.360
you see today it generally has a more it's more joyous more celebratory you know there's canadian flags
00:25:04.120
up there's israeli flags up and the sense that i get generally when i see pro hamas a lot of times
00:25:11.080
pro-palestini rallies it's i don't know it's a much more menacing it's a much more aggressive there's there's
00:25:16.440
it almost has a mob feel to it we were actually just in poland a couple months ago we did we did the
00:25:21.400
holocaust trip together and uh to see it happening again in modern day like we haven't learned from
00:25:27.400
our history is is is shocking you can be pro-palestinian and not be anti-israel or you can be pro-palestinian
00:25:33.480
and still respect civilians i condemn you know the killing of civilians on all sides i don't support i
00:25:39.400
don't celebrate it my grandfather was a holocaust survivor his whole family was slaughtered my grandmother
00:25:46.360
is his second wife because his whole family was dead for me to live and i came here from israel
00:25:53.320
because we wanted more peace more peace than we had there and to see that and to see my children to be
00:26:00.680
witnessing this right now right here it's horrible people get caught up in a in an emotional swirl
00:26:08.440
and sometimes that shuts down logical rational thought right that part of the brain is just switched off
00:26:15.160
i'm here with iddo he lives in israel he's visiting toronto right now and tell me iddo what do you
00:26:22.280
make of the response we've seen in so many western cities around the world in which so many people
00:26:30.600
are spouting such anti-jew hatred it's awful to see that but uh i can tell you it doesn't matter
00:26:39.800
they can come millions billions it doesn't matter israel is here and they won't move from here
00:26:46.920
we're here to stay and we're not going anywhere i prefer to me prononcer sur le sujet
00:26:52.760
c'est un sujet je préfère éviter en ce moment what is your opinion on the significant presence of anti-israel
00:26:59.000
sympathies dominating the street every weekend do you believe that the police and the government should be
00:27:05.000
should take extra measure i truly believe that in today's society and today's new revelation we need
00:27:13.320
to be united love each one to some people it makes sense that some people will fight back hamas
00:27:23.000
is more than fighting back it's a terrorist organization but the word terrorism has been
00:27:28.440
manipulated a lot over the last 20 years so there's no excuse for the attack of october 7th and there's
00:27:37.000
no excuse for trying to wipe out everyone that lives in gaza so the protests are kept as kind of expression
00:27:45.880
for solidarity with all the civilian casualties that are going on in in gaza not so much as an anti-jewish
00:27:51.560
thing or maybe a pro something over jewish but more that it's a pro human survival pro human life
00:27:58.280
and i'm fine with it if it's kept with that tone i think the government should definitely be like you
00:28:02.040
know making sure that hate speech and vandalism doesn't occur but i think the freedom of speech is
00:28:10.120
still a part of our constitution so people should have the right to protest talk about whatever
00:28:16.360
issues that they feel about so the moment the government starts restricting protests i don't
00:28:21.080
think that would be a good day for canadians but it seems like most of the people have feel like they
00:28:26.360
have to take a side when i don't understand that because it's a problem for all of us and we need
00:28:34.520
to together figure out a solution honnêtement j'essaie de pas avoir vraiment d'opinion genre sur c'est
00:28:40.440
qui les méchants c'est qui les bons c'est sûr quand on voit beaucoup d'affaires contre l'israël ça porte plus
00:28:46.280
à penser que ce seraient eux les méchants mais i don't support all those kind of things in the matter of
00:28:54.760
that i mean the government needs to do what they need to do uh in the matter of protest and vandalism
00:28:59.480
i think is it they they shouldn't do it but uh also i think that probably if they don't do it they
00:29:06.120
won't be hurt yeah do you support um what the activists for anti-israel are doing uh blocking
00:29:13.960
critical infrastructure uh disturbing event closing some event even uh i think it again depends i don't
00:29:22.360
think necessarily a blanket response towards anything linked with israel by kind of shutting
00:29:27.080
down or taking action like that is necessarily the most effective but i do think that in the case that
00:29:32.440
one's directly concerned about maybe what the israeli government it's i would kind of mirror the same
00:29:36.280
statement if one was concerned about the actions of hamas then one protested directly towards something
00:29:40.840
by blocking access or something towards something that was directly linked to that i think that could
00:29:44.760
be seen as a reasonable step i don't support either side no je suis pas d'accord avec ça je pense qu'il y a
00:29:52.280
d'autres façons de faire la proteste il y a des endroits plutôt et plus éloignés
00:29:57.640
so i don't think i've i can say that they're doing something wrong because it means something to them
00:30:03.240
and just because i'm not affected by it i can't say that um what they're doing is wrong
00:30:09.320
well there aren't the right to protest but uh maybe they shouldn't do like uh riots or destroy
00:30:22.280
like private property because uh let's say that if they destroy some kind of business the business
00:30:28.280
owners it doesn't have to do anything with it well over 2 000 people including some proudly waving
00:30:34.120
iranian flags gathered at vancouver's jackpool plaza for stand with us community and solidarity
00:30:39.960
gathering for israel the rally which was organized by vancouver's jewish federation canadian jewish
00:30:45.960
advocacy and the rabbinical association of vancouver also attracted politicians like vancouver's mayor
00:30:51.960
ken sim as well as leader of the official opposition party bc united's kevin falcon they all condemned
00:31:00.360
the hamas terror attack on israel what happened this weekend in israel was absolutely horrific make
00:31:09.400
no mistake about it the stuff that happened the terror that happened they weren't all palestinian
00:31:15.640
rights or human rights they were incredibly horrendous acts of evil and brutality and there is absolutely
00:31:24.120
no justification no justification for the abduction
00:31:31.560
for the rape and for the murder of innocent civilians make no mistake about it hamas is a terrorist
00:31:41.160
organization full stop now is the time that we must all stand together united
00:31:59.000
in supporting the victims and their families and their friends and it's so heartbreaking to hear about
00:32:05.400
and it's important for us to support our brothers and sisters back in israel because what happened
00:32:12.360
there is just unbelievable it's a terrorist group that breached our borders and slaughters our brothers
00:32:20.120
our sisters our families and and so we must be here and everywhere around the world to show the support
00:32:27.640
it's not about politics it's not about religion it's just about humanity and to be here and to show
00:32:33.320
that i think it's it's my duty as a person not only as a jewish person about the cyrus accords the somehow
00:32:41.640
when the cyrus was supporting jewish people we are from the same roots and we are iranians so we are doing
00:32:47.560
the same also israel from long time ago it was iran's best friend and good ally so i'm as a actual patriot
00:32:57.800
from iran so i believe to this friendship and i want it back so we are here when you guys have a pain
00:33:04.600
we have a pain too clearly after all the atrocities that happened in israel things that we've never seen
00:33:11.240
in the history of our country ever um probably ever since the holocaust with i don't know how much i can
00:33:18.520
elaborate but with massacre of innocent people rape of women killing of children killing of entire families
00:33:28.120
we just had to be here we had to show solidarity we had to come as people well i'm not only a canadian
00:33:34.440
but i'm also an israeli citizen i spent my first 10 years in israel i have a family member a cousin
00:33:39.560
and her husband who are killed in israel um they know that their three youngest children are survived
00:33:45.320
but their oldest is also confirmed dead and when i really think about it it's important that we all
00:33:51.000
come together stand up for israel speak for peace also let israel know that they're not alone that
00:33:56.680
canada stands with them solid as a rock as i would say solid as the rocks that jerusalem and israel sits
00:34:02.760
on um also to speak up for truth and that people let people know that israel has the right to defend
00:34:09.160
itself we don't as israelis we don't want to have war we don't want to kill people we don't you know it
00:34:14.920
doesn't give us any pleasure to have to go and have a war where we're killing other people you know all we
00:34:20.280
want to do is live in peace and even from 1948 the war of independence our hand was always held out for
00:34:27.240
peace and thankfully you know the egyptian king king hussein came to a sense as he had peace
00:34:32.840
anwar sadat also made peace with israel i think it's also because they were tired of seeing their own
00:34:39.000
people come back in body bags uh children who have no fathers sometimes even mothers getting killed
00:34:44.440
women being widows um people losing their sons you know it doesn't you know i feel just as bad
00:34:51.720
when you have many combatants who are killed as get you know with israeli soldiers but when you look
00:34:57.080
at the terrorists who committed these atrocities as angry as i am what they've done i have no hatred
00:35:02.760
toward their children no hatred toward them i just want to have see people become be held accountable
00:35:08.920
for the crimes they've committed and i want people to live in peace
00:35:12.760
david menzies for rebel news here in toronto well folks i'm standing outside mel lassman square
00:35:18.360
that's where an event is taking place canada stands with israel and as you can see there are
00:35:25.720
thousands of people gathered they're now marching north on young street and you know i couldn't help
00:35:32.360
but notice some of the speakers uh tonight there was uh fraulein freeland uh she was here i hope she
00:35:39.320
didn't bring along a waffen ss nazi uh also yarra sacks uh you know the one who says that honking your
00:35:47.400
horn twice is an acronym for heil hitler gee i hope she wasn't down at nathan phillips square earlier
00:35:55.000
today i was there a lot of palestinian supporters honking their horn twice do you think that meant uh
00:36:01.240
heil hitler gee i don't know and then of course there was olivia chow mayor of toronto she says she
00:36:06.600
stands unequivocally with israel but that's tonight let's see what she says uh in the days and weeks
00:36:13.160
ahead in any event um let's see uh what some of the people gathered here have to say about this event
00:36:21.400
and uh most importantly what israel has to do in the aftermath of that horrific terrorist attack last
00:36:29.640
saturday what brought you and your your lovely family out to this uh uh event tonight we really
00:36:37.880
feel that we have to do everything we can do to be with israel our heart is in israel we're our israel
00:36:43.880
citizens we came just for two years to live in toronto oh yes and all my family is in the army now and
00:36:51.640
all our thoughts is only there and we feel everybody the whole world should know that everybody
00:36:58.360
is should be with israel the fact that we all need to come together you know the unity of the jews all
00:37:03.720
in one is super important especially during this time you know i have a lot of family and friends
00:37:08.600
currently deployed uh fearing for their lives you know so just there's nothing louder one voice
00:37:14.280
alone is one thing but multiple voices together makes a louder roar so it's important to all be
00:37:19.160
together at this time for sure jewish people around the world are shocked and horrified by what i saw
00:37:24.040
on the camera history teaches us over and over again the unity amongst the jewish people is what
00:37:29.240
will keep us strong and what will help am israel and that's what brought me out here today because
00:37:33.480
when we're united in prayer and we show solidarity obviously nothing can can conquer us in that route
00:37:40.200
and the jewish people in israel need to know that the diaspora jews are with them they're in our thoughts
00:37:46.040
and our prayers and then we wanted them to know that and see that in not only in thought but in action
00:37:51.000
guys i couldn't help but notice your flag it's uh you must be persian i take it sir and um what makes
00:37:57.800
you come out to this demonstration i guess you must have some insight in terms of it is iran that is
00:38:04.120
funding hamas iran is the i just want to correct you islamic regime in iran not the iranians uh to give
00:38:10.280
you some context throughout through history from 2500 years ago today from cyrus the great onwards throughout
00:38:16.360
history iranians have always been supporters of jews across the world uh what we have right now in the
00:38:21.480
last 40 and some years that happened after the iranian revolution with the islamic regime coming
00:38:25.720
to iran they're funding the hamas the funding hezbollah of lebanon that doesn't mean that iranians
00:38:31.560
are against israel or against jews uh we are here today to just show our support as iranians to the
00:38:36.440
jewish community to the to the israelis across the world uh and just tell them that know that iranians
00:38:41.960
love you will care about you it's unfortunate our government who's funding the terrorism that's
00:38:46.680
happening across the world this is anti-semitism at its finest people this is all that it's about
00:38:53.080
they hate the jews and there's no other reason for this okay do we understand that they hate the jews
00:38:59.960
they've made it clear they don't want us there okay and this is not justifiable resistance we don't
00:39:05.880
celebrate when palestinians die we don't celebrate when innocent women and kids are dying okay this
00:39:13.880
is war this is no reason to celebrate right now this is not justifiable resistance okay this is no way
00:39:21.960
in shape or form justifiable resistance you don't take women and kids that are innocent civilians and
00:39:29.560
rape them on the street well i think it's disgusting that uh that they would even have the audacity
00:39:35.560
to show their face after what hamas and the rest of those people did i mean it's just
00:39:42.280
just makes me sick what it is robert krychik here in ottawa ontario reporting for rebel news
00:39:48.520
here on parliament hill at the we stand with israel peace rally we got to speak with a bunch of
00:39:54.760
demonstrators rally goers ask them why they're here what's on their minds their rationale for participating
00:40:00.840
here and before we show you that we want you folks to go to canada stands with israel.com check
00:40:09.320
out our petition and sign it if you wish to do so it's a statement of support that we will then provide
00:40:15.240
to the israeli embassy in canada here in ottawa the saturday before last hamas terrorists entered israel
00:40:22.920
broke through the security barrier and fence and murdered something like 700 to a thousand people those
00:40:29.480
numbers are still being determined and since then there's been an onset of retaliation from the idf
00:40:37.800
into gaza and as these events unfold we're going to see a lot more demonstrations across large cities
00:40:43.400
in canada and the broader west for example earlier today just hours ago there was a demonstration right
00:40:49.160
here on parliament hill with a march as well that we can call for lack of better term a pro-palestine
00:40:56.600
rally sort of a tale of two cities as it were here in ottawa ontario why don't you tell us why you're
00:41:02.280
here today what's the purpose of this demonstration and your motivation for participating well you know
00:41:06.840
in difficult times like these it's important that we come together as a people to strengthen each other
00:41:13.880
when one part of the body is hurting we need to strengthen our immune system and so we come here we
00:41:19.880
unite and we know that we will come out strong it's we're going through a difficult time and
00:41:25.000
challenging times but it's important for us to come together to combat this hate and to combat it with
00:41:32.360
love and light and goodness and that's why we come together and what i see in the facebook and all other
00:41:40.840
these type of platforms i don't like that some people in this world are supporting hamas and supporting
00:41:50.600
this barbaric attack this cannot be done anywhere in the planet and this has to be the our israel's acts
00:42:02.680
now to defend itself and to bring peace to this area eventually is something that the whole world
00:42:09.080
eventually will enjoy i want to show that there are people in outside of israel in canada who do
00:42:16.520
support um who do support the fight against terrorism within um within israel um and i just want to
00:42:24.520
you know i want to help people feel like they're not alone in this the hamas seems to stand for the
00:42:32.440
destruction of the jewish state it seems to stand for um the murder of jewish people and to me those two
00:42:41.560
are uh like non-negotiable yeah that's one in the same if you stand by hamas then you stand by the
00:42:48.520
holocaust you stand by the murder of the jewish people that's our show for today on behalf of all
00:43:00.280
of us at rebel world headquarters here in ottawa and around the world until tomorrow good night
