00:00:00.000
Tonight, 100,000 Jews and allies march peacefully for Israel.
00:00:05.000
But a few hundred Hamas lugs show up and police are in the middle.
00:00:09.000
It's June 10th and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:30.000
Over the course of the next half hour, I'm going to show you the raw footage.
00:00:34.000
We're still working on this footage that will release in a more prepared manner in the days ahead.
00:00:42.000
Yankee Pollock, David Menzies, Sterisak, Avery, Mauricio.
00:00:48.000
That's just because we happen to be located here in Toronto.
00:00:51.000
But I can tell you similar things are happening across the country.
00:00:55.000
I was at Vancouver's University of British Columbia a few weeks ago
00:00:59.000
and their hateful encampment that's trespassing remains.
00:01:03.000
McGill's hateful encampment was operating for weeks.
00:01:07.000
The courts even refused to move them off the land.
00:01:09.000
So we're in Toronto, but this is simply a larger version of the crimes
00:01:15.000
that are being committed with impunity across Canada.
00:01:26.000
Yeah, they're frightening, but I'm just going to say strong regardless of the circumstances.
00:01:31.000
The fact that we were all together, some 50,000 strong today, bolstered a lot of people
00:01:42.000
and made them feel like they had support. Everybody had each other's backs.
00:01:51.000
Ezra Levant here at the March for Israel in one of the Jewish neighborhoods of Toronto.
00:02:05.000
You can see there are hundreds of police, some of them with serious riot gear,
00:02:10.000
because although, I don't know, I would estimate 100,000 Jewish people
00:02:16.000
marched through this neighborhood and most of these apartments are heavily Jewish,
00:02:21.000
the pro-Hamas side thought they would attend and provoke disputes, interrupt.
00:02:30.000
And the police have the job of trying to keep the two sides apart.
00:02:37.000
I wonder, though, if the police would be so equal about it if a Jewish group tried to,
00:02:45.000
I don't know, go into the University of Toronto pro-Hamas encampment
00:02:51.000
or had a counter protest to one of the pro-Hamas marches that have sometimes turned violent in Toronto.
00:02:58.000
I don't want to knock the police today. This is the most enforcement they've done in eight months.
00:03:05.000
I think one of the reasons is it's a high-profile official Jewish march that's been happening for 55 years straight.
00:03:13.000
But on the other hand, since when can a mob of 100 masked thugs simply take over private property?
00:03:23.000
I mean, that's not a park. That's not a sidewalk.
00:03:26.000
And the reason I mention that is because you might recall during the lockdowns and during the trucker convoy,
00:03:33.000
police would use any and all laws to sweep off the streets and into the jails.
00:03:38.000
Anyone who dared to protest, every single one of them is on private property.
00:03:44.000
And I guess that's fine with the cops because what are they going to do? Arrest some Hamas thugs?
00:03:50.000
If they did, it would be the first time in eight months.
00:03:53.000
Most of these police are Toronto police, but you can see there's a York regional policeman dressed in grey there
00:04:02.000
They're not messing around. I'm not sure how this happened.
00:04:05.000
I know that the Toronto Police Service had reserved an area for the pro-Hamas protesters.
00:04:12.000
I don't know how that sort of slipped through them.
00:04:17.000
There's got to be a hundred of them surrounding the Hamas thugs.
00:04:20.000
And you'll see one thing about those Hamas people.
00:04:23.000
The number one thing they have in common is they're wearing a mask.
00:04:28.000
And I'm afraid that as a society, we normalize mask wearing during the lockdowns.
00:04:34.000
Heretofore, wearing a mask was considered you had something to hide.
00:04:39.000
You were a bank robber. You were doing something nefarious.
00:04:43.000
Terrorists wore balaclavas. Well, that's what they're doing here.
00:04:46.000
I think that we need to bring back the denormalization of masks.
00:04:52.000
Show your face, especially if you're in an illegal protest on private property.
00:04:57.000
For eight months, Toronto has been one of the worst cities in Canada
00:05:01.000
in terms of not just anti-Semitism, but law-breaking.
00:05:05.000
And there's a difference. Anti-Semitism is when you hate a Jew.
00:05:08.000
And obviously, those masked men and women behind me
00:05:11.000
flying the flags of Palestine, or in some cases over the last eight months,
00:05:20.000
It's no surprise. They come from countries where anti-Semitism is endemic.
00:05:25.000
We don't screen or qualify our immigrants in any way for social fit.
00:05:30.000
And if you bring in people from hateful pockets of the world, you import their ideas too.
00:05:37.000
It's not the anti-Semitism that I think is the practical way to attack the problem,
00:05:45.000
What I'm talking about over the last eight months has been violence, death threats or other threats of violence,
00:05:51.000
trespass, mischief, things like shooting a Jewish day school mere blocks away.
00:05:58.000
Those are actual crimes. They're animated by anti-Jewish hate, but the problem there is the crimes themselves.
00:06:04.000
Yet, bizarrely, these repeated crimes, some of a trivial nature, perhaps it's trivial to have them trespassing.
00:06:12.000
I don't think the folks working at that gas station would regard it as trivial today.
00:06:17.000
But I think the number one problem is that there has been a lack of police enforcement.
00:06:23.000
In fact, you might recall a few months ago there was a virtually a day-long pro-Hamas rally
00:06:29.000
outside a Jewish synagogue in North Toronto, and police stood by as concierges.
00:06:36.000
They didn't do a damn thing. In fact, when one frustrated Jewish local tried to do something,
00:06:41.000
he was the one who was arrested. That's the problem. It's like James Q. Wilson's broken windows theory.
00:06:47.000
You break one window and you don't fix it, people get the idea that we accept broken windows around here.
00:06:54.000
If you have masked Hamas supporters blocking roads, harassing Jewish passersby,
00:07:00.000
people get the idea that that's the new normal now. The Overton window has shifted.
00:07:05.000
We're no longer Toronto the good, but a city seething with hatred that you know if these cops weren't here,
00:07:12.000
they would be breaking into violence against the Jewish marchers.
00:07:17.000
We're just here to protect the people, help out whenever it's needed.
00:07:20.000
Eyes are out of Paris, instead of eyes out, you know, just to make sure.
00:07:22.000
And all these lads all the way down there with you?
00:07:25.000
All right. People of different backgrounds, looks like.
00:07:29.000
So you're private security, is what you're saying?
00:07:30.000
Exactly. We're here to help. Just help around as much as we can, you know?
00:07:34.000
I want to show you the contrast. There's a stylistic contrast. Look up here, for example.
00:07:58.000
These are marchers who have finished the march, and they're going home.
00:08:03.000
Well, maybe one in a hundred wears a COVID mask.
00:08:11.000
I see Canadian flags. I see a lot of Israeli flags. I see no terrorist flags.
00:08:16.000
And I think the tone, the mood, if I can read it just with my eyes, is a little bit sober, given that you have Hamas flags in this Jewish neighborhood.
00:08:33.000
I don't know if I can use the word friendly. Maybe I'm just, I find them relatable because I'm a Jewish person from Toronto, too.
00:08:41.000
But then look over here. Look at those carrying the Palestinian flags.
00:08:50.000
I don't see a single Canadian flag over there. I don't even hear English language right now.
00:08:56.000
They're chanting in Arabic. Lord knows what they're saying.
00:09:01.000
And the chief characteristic of them is they're covering their face.
00:09:08.000
I think it's because, first of all, they know they're breaking the law.
00:09:12.000
And second of all, they want to be intimidating.
00:09:15.000
They want, they want to bring the Hamas style here.
00:09:20.000
I mentioned earlier that masks are something that terrorists have used for decades to instill fear and to hide their true nature.
00:09:39.000
I never saw something like this. And my daughter, she's the policeman.
00:09:43.000
And I'm Israeli. And I never thought something like this can happen, you know.
00:09:50.000
Well, I don't think there are street protests for Hamas in Saudi Arabia or in the United Arab Emirates or in Bahrain or Oman.
00:10:00.000
Why are there pro-terrorist protests in Canada, but not throughout the Arab world?
00:10:06.000
Because Canada is a democracy country. You can do it.
00:10:11.000
In the Arab countries, you cannot do it. You can go to jail and you are disappeared.
00:10:16.000
But in democracy countries, you can do it as long as you don't go over the law.
00:10:22.000
Well, they're on private property there. Is that over the law?
00:10:30.000
How do you feel about immigration? Do you think...
00:10:33.000
My view is that a lot of these folks over there are from countries where anti-Semitism is normal.
00:10:39.000
And they've come here to bring their ancient hatreds with them.
00:10:43.000
Well, I think the immigration have to do a better job. Who do you bring in? What is the past of these people? Who are they?
00:10:56.000
This is one of the problems. But it's not only Canada problem. All the Western countries, they have the same problem. And the problem just grows.
00:11:15.000
It's Canada, Stan. Like, I don't understand. I don't... They don't take a day off. They want everyone to listen to them, but they won't listen to anyone.
00:11:26.000
Oh, we know. There's all these organizations. Steven Crowder just did an expose on them. Coming from Muslim Brotherhood and Heart to Hearts and all these underground organizations.
00:11:37.000
They're being paid to be here. And those Nakari Jews, they're being paid to be here, too.
00:11:43.000
Like, look at that guy there. Look at the guy on the bongos. I mean, other than the bongo, which is a North American affectation, he could be in Gaza.
00:12:00.000
And so either they're doing a little bit of cosplay, dressing up in terrorist costumes, which is possible, or maybe they're just testing the limits.
00:12:11.000
How far can they go? I mean, protests on private property, threats, shooting up Jewish schools. What will finally wake Canadians up and make people say, hold enough?
00:12:26.000
This was a Jewish march that happens every year. And a hundred masked men and women on either side are here simply to shout it down. But you doubt if the cops weren't here, it would be rougher than that.
00:12:40.000
As you know, earlier this year, I went to Columbia University to use my own eyes to see who the protesters were there.
00:12:56.000
I went to another New York University called the Fashion Institute of Technology. What I found at both of those places is that the majority of protesters at those elite universities are spoiled, rich white kids who were acting out against dad or just being woke.
00:13:16.000
But this is a very different crowd, isn't it? I'd say it's 95% people who have come to Canada and come quite recently.
00:13:28.000
They still have their accent from their homeland. And so it's a different kind of hatred. What I saw at Columbia was more theoretical, was more Marxist, was more really woke, avant-garde academics.
00:13:47.000
But what I see here is not intellectual. It's tribal. It's what you would see a hundred years ago, five hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, an ancient hate that we have brought into the heart of our own cities.
00:14:05.000
I can't tell. Oh, I see a drone overhead. I see a drone. Did you catch it? There's another drone up there.
00:14:30.000
Now, we use drones at Rebel News, but the drones we use are so small, they're legally classified as a toy.
00:14:40.000
Not that drone. That's a big drone. I'm quite sure that drone is a police drone. Same with that one over there.
00:14:50.000
And look, if you can see it on the top balcony in that apartment. It's behind the Israeli flags right now.
00:15:00.000
But it looks like there's a spotter. There's a couple of cops on that top balcony.
00:15:10.000
Now, my experience is that police would be looking for two different things. One is just to make sure there's no rough and tumble, elbows up, pushing and shoving, no punching.
00:15:28.000
But the other is much more serious. The real risk of a terrorist attack. If you bring tens of thousands of Jewish men and women and children into a concentrated place,
00:15:44.000
and you allow the rhetoric of genocide from the river to the sea, even if only one in a thousand people chanting it actually means it,
00:15:56.000
well, in a city like Toronto, you could have 10 or 20 actual terrorist cells.
00:16:03.000
So, yes, the police so far have simply engaged in crowd control, keeping the two sides apart.
00:16:13.000
But don't think that that balcony and those eyes in the sky aren't also looking for a mass casualty terrorist event.
00:16:23.000
Otherwise, why would they be hiding their faces and chanting the chants of Hamas?
00:16:28.000
You don't need to be nervous, but shy's okay. What's your name?
00:16:48.000
And how do you feel about these Palestinian protesters wearing masks?
00:16:52.000
It's honestly embarrassing. They're nonsense, people.
00:17:01.000
Yeah, they're frightening, but I'm just going to stay strong regardless of the circumstances.
00:17:11.000
I wasn't there the past year because I was studying abroad, but my friends are there,
00:17:16.000
and it's honestly upsetting that people couldn't even go into classes, into the library where they need to study.
00:17:24.000
It's just not how it should be, especially when it's like disrupting our education.
00:17:40.000
Sue Ann Levy, our friend from True North, who also is just a woman about town.
00:17:46.000
I have a secret hope one day you'll run for mayor.
00:17:52.000
But I also feel like if these police were not here right now, there would be fists and maybe knives.
00:18:03.000
And I think, for once, they took this whole thing and the security was excellent all through the entire route.
00:18:12.000
And how do you think the spirit of the Jewish community is?
00:18:25.000
Well, I think the capture of the four hostages yesterday really helped the mood of the community.
00:18:35.000
And I think the fact that we were all together, some 50,000 strong today, bolstered a lot of people and made them feel like they had support.
00:18:46.000
It was miraculous, especially that young woman who was on the front page of all the papers.
00:19:04.000
David Menzies, Sarah Stock, a big support team.
00:19:15.000
Stephen Menzies for Rebel News here in North Toronto.
00:19:20.000
And we're just minutes away from the walk with Israel kicking off.
00:19:26.000
And as you can see, we have our jumbotron equipped truck to send our messages.
00:19:32.000
And I can tell you, folks, we ran into a little bit of a hassle about an hour ago with the police.
00:19:41.000
You can call for genocide of the Jewish people in the streets of Toronto.
00:19:45.000
But just in case something's, I don't know, too pro-Jew, pro-Israel, that's offside.
00:19:50.000
We don't want, like, you guys, like, I'm not saying that you will, but we just don't want you guys playing shit that, like, is going to rile up other people.
00:20:03.000
But the reason why I'm telling you about this is that we need your support.
00:20:07.000
We have thousands of dollars worth of costs associated with this truck.
00:20:11.000
If you can go to CanadaStandsWithIsrael.com, that's CanadaStandsWithIsrael.com.
00:20:18.000
If you're able to make a donation to help us cover our costs, we would greatly appreciate that.
00:20:25.000
What do you think is going to go down today when the walk kicks off?
00:20:29.000
Well, I think the pro-Hamas gangs that stated their intentions to come to Shepherd and Bathurst,
00:20:37.000
they're going to try and take over the intersection and block the walk to the Jewish community centre.
00:20:42.000
And we're here to try and ensure that doesn't happen.
00:20:51.000
Are you glad that some hostages were released yesterday?
00:21:02.000
Right now, there are over 30,000 people dead in Palestine in a concentration camp set up by Jews.
00:21:21.000
How can you trust them to tell the truth given what they did on October 7th?
00:21:29.000
Well, folks, the walk for Israel kicked off about 10 minutes ago to the south of me, a couple of kilometres away.
00:21:38.000
And what is happening is that there is a growing mob of the pro-Hitler youth types.
00:21:45.000
They're assembling here, and it's going to be intersecting the march.
00:21:51.000
Now, what you can also see is several members, dozens, of the Toronto Police Service.
00:21:56.000
I imagine they're going to move in at some point and make a physical blockade.
00:22:01.000
And in the meantime, you know, for the police that were so adamant about checking our pro-Israel messaging on our truck,
00:22:09.000
the du rigueur chants for genocide continue here.
00:22:13.000
And I have attempted to ask these people questions.
00:22:19.000
I'll tell you what some of those questions are.
00:22:22.000
Are you glad that hostages were recently released?
00:22:26.000
Who is the most pro-Hamas political leader in Canada?
00:22:36.000
And with more immigration, will Canada eventually adopt Sharia law?
00:22:42.000
And finally, should Jews be made to feel uncomfortable on the streets of our cities and in public places?
00:22:58.000
And to me, if you can't answer legitimate questions, well, I think the very premise of your protest, there really isn't much there to begin with.
00:23:08.000
The only problem is that from the judicial point, getting a conviction on a hate crime in Toronto, in Canada, is very, very difficult.
00:23:26.000
Their hate crime unit has been increased tenfold.
00:23:37.000
And that's why this kind of representation, this kind of thing, can happen.
00:23:42.000
When people coming in and calling for intifada, which really, in reality, is the destruction of Israel.
00:23:48.000
From river to the sea, it's from the, nobody knows, but it's from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean, which means wiping out completely Israel.
00:23:56.000
And then it turns out into this anti-Semitic show that is just ridiculous.
00:24:02.000
This is a very important event, standing up for Israel, standing up for Jews.
00:24:13.000
Prime Minister Trudeau, he put Canada into the toilet, and he wants to drag everything else with him.
00:24:19.000
So, you know, I mean, don't ask me about Trudeau.
00:24:24.000
I think what is very important for us to understand right now is that when we talk about freedom of speech, we have to understand what freedom of speech actually means.
00:24:37.000
It's enshrined as one of those inviolable freedoms that we have.
00:24:42.000
It's part of our country, it's part of our nature.
00:24:48.000
I am totally overwhelmed by the number of police officers who are out here.
00:24:55.000
I think we are seeing a turning point where we are coming to grips, finally, even politically, with the idea that we must make a change to the way we are thinking.
00:25:09.000
We know, in China, there is a genocide ongoing of the Uighur Muslim people there.
00:25:15.000
I don't see anybody at all protesting China's behaviour.
00:25:20.000
There are so many other nations in the world where similar genocides are occurring.
00:25:24.000
But it's always Israel, whether it's the people in the streets or at the United Nations.
00:25:30.000
Why is Israel singled out, or does it just boil down to good old-fashioned anti-Semitism?
00:25:39.000
Had the world stand for truth, there would be no war, there would be no Hamas, there would be no genocide.
00:25:48.000
And the world has to wake up to the fact they have to educate themselves, and that's the biggest problem, lack of proper education.
00:25:56.000
Wherever there is a Jew, there is always resistance.
00:25:59.000
The fact that they get paid to come to those events and chant their violence, we are not to be deterred from our mission to live peacefully.
00:26:12.000
But when you have an enemy that comes and screams that, you bet your tuches that they will come and they will do that.
00:26:23.000
We just don't have to take it as granted that, okay, so that's what's going to happen eventually.
00:26:30.000
We have to be ready for it, we have to hit it front face, with a face in our fronts.
00:26:37.000
So, folks, it looks like the first wave of walkers is upon us.
00:26:44.000
And they are going, well, they're going to be intersecting the demonstrators.
00:26:52.000
And let's see if the pro-Hitler youth movement stands down or they are going to be, I don't know, wearing trouble on their sleeve, as the saying goes.
00:27:07.000
So, and well, let's see how law enforcement reacts.
00:27:13.000
Well, you know what, folks, you can really tell the difference between the two tribes, if you will.
00:27:26.000
The people with the walk with Israel, you notice that there are actually Canadian flags.
00:27:39.000
Them being the hostages that still remain in captivity.
00:27:43.000
Quite a contrast from what the pro-Hamas people are chanting, such as from the river to the sea into Fata.
00:27:51.000
The difference could not be more apparent or more appalling.
00:27:55.000
Hey, folks, I'm with Dr. Charles McVitie and Ross McClain.
00:28:00.000
And Dr. McVitie, this is a big event for the Jewish community and for those who stand with Israel.
00:28:11.000
Well, I'm sure he's on vacation somewhere because he's not doing much to stand with Israel,
00:28:18.000
to stand against the war crimes of kidnapping innocent people and holding them hostage.
00:28:27.000
Canada should be doing everything in its power, but it's not.
00:28:33.000
Look, the police are doing some kind of job where they're trying to split the baby.
00:28:37.000
They think it's splitting the baby by letting everybody protest.
00:28:40.000
But if they knew the Bible story well, when Solomon went there, the baby wasn't split in the end.
00:28:46.000
The police have to start doing the right thing, which is not to your policing.
00:28:55.000
So I'm glad to see the police turnout today and a fairly low turnout for the Muslim crowd.
00:29:01.000
And Dr. McVitie, we are literally in the riding of York Centre.
00:29:07.000
A few months ago, she actually went over to the Middle East and shook hands with Mahmoud Abbas,
00:29:13.000
a man who literally has the blood of Jews and Israelis on his hands.
00:29:23.000
I'm surprised she's not standing over there with the Palestinians,
00:29:27.000
because that's actually what she does is she supports them.
00:29:36.000
And Sarah was here early on with the rest of the team as well.
00:29:40.000
Sarah, let me ask you, what stood out to you in covering the Walk with Israel march,
00:29:47.000
and of course, the pro-Hamas people here chanting genocide as per usual?
00:29:53.000
I think it was really interesting to talk to some of the people from the anti-Israel side.
00:29:58.000
Some of them, there was this one girl I spoke to who was screaming in my face
00:30:02.000
who had an actual Hamas terrorist flag she was wearing.
00:30:08.000
This one man I spoke to, he didn't even know what Hamas was,
00:30:12.000
and he had just been seeing some things online, and so he came here to support.
00:30:16.000
And I'm like, how educated are some of the people on that side?
00:30:25.000
Well, it's Sunday, so basically we're just having a peaceful gathering we do every Sunday.
00:30:34.000
And we're looking to bring back the hostages, whoever still can be brought back.
00:30:52.000
And what happened in October 7th should never happen again nowhere in the world,
00:31:07.000
You know, maybe some Arab countries want a Jewish state.
00:31:29.000
I don't want to be one-sided, but we have problems with our extremists too.
00:31:34.000
So it's never again a ride to remember Toronto 2024.
00:31:39.000
Did you have the similar issue with a bunch of these counter-protesters coming when you did your motorcycle ride before?
00:31:47.000
Well, it's just a coincidence that it happens to be.
00:31:53.000
And the second part is we write to remember so the world will not forget.
00:31:58.000
Well, these people not only want to forget, they want to erase.
00:32:05.000
So I don't know what these people are protesting for or against.
00:32:09.000
I believe half of them don't even know themselves.
00:32:15.000
Well, with the help of the Almighty, we're here because we are Jewish.
00:32:20.000
And my religion, Judaism, is being besmirched, is being used as a weapon against the Almighty.
00:32:28.000
It is totally against the laws of our Torah, of our holy religion, Judaism, to kill, to steal, to occupy.
00:32:38.000
Judaism is a religion of 3,000 years to be subservient to God.
00:32:43.000
Zionism and the State of Israel is a transformation to nationalism that started a hundred odd years ago.
00:32:51.000
And by heretics, by rebels against God, and they're simply masquerading in the Star of David, in the name Judaism, to intimidate and to accuse people of being anti-Semitic.
00:33:04.000
When you accuse them of murdering, and they are murderers.
00:33:10.000
The Torah does not permit us not to have a state since the destruction of the Temple, and not to kill or steal.
00:33:17.000
And certainly not to the Arabs and Muslims who embraced the Jews and gave us a home for thousands of years now.
00:33:23.000
The State of Israel has to be totally dismantled.
00:33:30.000
They create it on a false pretense that it's Judaism.
00:33:35.000
All the rabbis in Palestine, including the chief rabbis of the Jewish communities, pleaded with the United Nations saying,
00:33:42.000
We furthermore wish to express our definite opposition to a Jewish state in any part of Palestine.
00:33:48.000
That was the words of Rabbi Dushinsky in July 1947.
00:33:56.000
We have been living together, Jews and Muslims and Christians, in the Holy Land for hundreds and hundreds of years, or thousands of years literally.
00:34:05.000
There is no impediment to coexistence because of the difference of religion.
00:34:10.000
The problem is a selfish, flawed nationalism called Zionism.
00:34:17.000
Well, let's just say the State of Israel is dismantled.
00:34:25.000
It wouldn't be a problem because the Palestinian people and all the Muslim people in the Muslim and Arab countries have embraced Jews.
00:34:34.000
We don't have a problem because of the difference of religion.
00:34:37.000
I'm asking people, why don't you tell me what your position is on Israel?
00:34:41.000
I personally stand with Israel because I believe Israel has all the right to go after terrorists.
00:34:48.000
And they're hiding in Gaza and in the neighborhood.
00:34:57.000
The fault and the issue is the terrorists in the area and Hamas.
00:35:03.000
And their number one support is the Islamic Republic of Iran's IRGC that's backing the Hamas terrorists.
00:35:11.000
So a lot of these people are chanting from the river to the sea.
00:35:16.000
So what I've been hearing is they just want the State of Israel to be completely destroyed.
00:35:22.000
I don't personally think that's ever going to happen.
00:35:25.000
Do you think that's even possible, first of all?
00:35:28.000
Well, I guess most of those things are emotional, not logical.
00:35:34.000
They don't know really what is happening in the area.
00:35:38.000
They don't know the politics involved in the Middle East.
00:35:55.000
We want Hamas and all terrorists go out of the area.
00:35:59.000
We don't want Hamas and terrorists be in the area.
00:36:03.000
If there is no Hamas, there is no issue in the area.
00:36:09.000
What do you think about a lot of these strategies are just screaming in your face and being obnoxious.
00:36:17.000
Because you seem like a very calm, you're being intellectual about this.
00:36:35.000
They don't understand what's happening in Middle East.
00:36:38.000
A lot of these people, I think a lot of people see like one infographic on Instagram and think they understand this situation, this conflict that's been going on for the past 70 years.
00:36:50.000
Hamas terrorists making Palestine unsafe for every single person living there.
00:36:57.000
Israelis, Palestinians, they don't feel safe because there are terrorists like Hamas making the place unsafe for them.
00:37:15.000
Decades before you were killing us and slaughtering our people.
00:37:25.000
There was decades of suffering before Hamas ever existed.
00:37:28.000
What he's saying is propaganda and we are all awake and we all know.
00:37:35.000
Your propaganda are lies and everybody knows that.
00:37:49.000
What about the Palestinian children that died and then with no heads and burnt and slaughtered?
00:38:01.000
You know, they never talk based on logic and reasoning.
00:38:11.000
Under the age of 17, there are children, most of them.
00:38:16.000
You can laugh, but at the end of the day, you will face God.
00:38:24.000
With all your lies, propaganda and everything, you will be punished at the end of the day.
00:38:45.000
They will edit it to make you sound like you're not saying what you want to say.
00:39:15.000
sign say? You will find it attributed to Satan with a swastika. Why are you here today? For peace.
00:39:30.240
Peace? Yeah. Everybody's equal. In my eyes, I think everybody's equal. You have a Canadian flag
00:39:37.060
here. I live up the street. I love my community here. I'm worried about the fear that sometimes
00:39:47.040
comes from these events when I think we all should just be able to talk even when the worst
00:39:53.260
things happen. We got to stop and talk. It's important. Every life is important. My father
00:40:03.940
did the capture of Haifa, Lut, Beersheba, Rota, Jerusalem, Dnieper River Crossing. Some here
00:40:12.080
are representing my father. And the Palestinians know who Shokbar is. And there's no two states.
00:40:21.580
It would have happened in 47, 48. So whatever this game is. And Putin knows the Dnieper River
00:40:29.940
crossing. And Andrei Karolinko, the hero of the Soviet underground, the partisan movement.
00:40:38.520
So my father was his aide. And I'm just saying that we have no problem if we have to, to defend
00:40:46.020
ourselves. Whatever the numbers are going to be, are going to be. So I thank you for the
00:41:01.980
Okay. So what Canadian politician would you say most represents your side, which I'm guessing
00:41:09.980
So honestly, I never delve into politics. I always voted someone who come first to my door.
00:41:15.760
I'm not a political person. I'm just devastated by the killing of children as a grandfather
00:41:21.920
because I have five grandkids. I could not see children being massacred from either side.
00:41:27.160
But obviously, this is a live internet, social media. We know which side children are being
00:41:31.360
killed. And that makes me so grieved. I don't need to stand with them or with them. I'm standing
00:41:37.140
here. I have my viewpoint. And thanks for asking.
00:41:39.920
Okay. I know, because I know some of the people in this crowd, they do support Hamas,
00:41:44.380
the organization. This one girl was wearing a Hamas flag, a giant Hamas flag. Do you agree
00:41:51.540
So as I said, I don't even know the politicians here. You want me to know the politicians?
00:41:55.340
No, no, not the politicians. Just some of the protesters.
00:41:57.840
This name seems to be some kind of organization.
00:42:01.520
So I'm not involved. I'm not aware. I'm not into it. I don't know who they are, what they
00:42:05.940
This hasn't been going on for one year. It's been going on for like tens of years,
00:42:12.020
like throughout like maybe 75 years, this whole Palestinian issue has been going on.
00:42:20.020
And since I was a child, I've always been seeing what's happening in Palestine, all the
00:42:24.800
bombardments, all the massacres. And all of this has always been breaking my heart in
00:42:35.760
every way. So ever since I was a child, I was always standing up against this.
00:42:43.020
Supporting Israel, the best country in the world.
00:42:46.740
What do you think about all these counter-protesters?
00:42:50.060
I think we have to get them out of our country. They can support their cause.
00:42:54.460
Thank you, Palestinian protesters for supporting Israel. Thank you, Palestinian protesters.
00:43:00.660
I support Israel wholeheartedly. I don't understand how people can protest in the way they do.
00:43:06.780
Angry, their faces covered. We're here, we're proud, and we're peaceful. We just want peace.
00:43:15.340
Why I'm here to support my indigenous homeland of Israel.
00:43:20.380
Support Israel, and to get the hostages returned, and to stop the war.
00:43:30.760
What do you think about the reaction from the other side?
00:43:33.820
Listen, you know, everyone has a right to free speech.
00:43:36.380
We're out here representing Israel, representing the Jewish people.
00:43:46.580
What do you think about the reaction from the other side today?
00:44:13.640
What do you think about the counter-protesters here today?
00:44:25.720
What do you think about the counter-protesters here today?
00:44:30.520
And to be honest, I love this channel, by the way.
00:44:35.040
But I mean, look, I'm not surprised this happens all the time.
00:44:38.040
We just want to live our lives, yet they want to come and harass us and, you know, say names.
00:44:46.680
What do you think about our immigration minister saying we're going to bring 5,000 people from Gaza here to Canada.
00:44:55.640
I mean, look, I'm not really well-versed on that information, but I'm not surprised that they never want to put Canadians first.
00:45:19.800
They have a right, but they're not very bright.
00:45:23.300
So I know our immigration minister, Mark Marino, wants to let in 5,000 people from Gaza.
00:45:34.180
I'm sure there are a lot of people who would make a great impact.
00:45:37.000
But you've got to be careful because there's also, there are, you know,
00:45:44.080
And if they're careful, hopefully they can find some good people who want to be here.
00:45:46.920
I think that's fine as long as they're all vetted.
00:45:49.220
We know now that probably over 75% of Gazan civilians support Hamas,
00:45:56.400
And we need to make sure that those that are immigrating to Canada
00:46:00.320
We don't want to import any more support for terrorism or anti-Semitism into this country.
00:46:06.540
What do you think about these counter-protesters?
00:46:08.840
I know a lot of them have been here all morning.
00:46:13.800
Because they're not proud of what they're doing.
00:46:20.480
I'm very proud to be supporting Israel, Canada as a democratic ally,
00:46:24.360
in counter-terrorism, in economy, and in prosperity.
00:46:28.320
I think that's, I hope we're going to be very careful with who we bring over from Gaza.
00:46:31.560
I think that definitely, you know, it's not a bad idea to try and be humanitarian.
00:46:36.460
But, you know, if we're not going to, we've seen with our immigration policy,
00:46:41.720
We don't do any kind of filtering in Canada anymore.
00:46:43.520
We just don't have an immigration policy, really.
00:46:45.920
So, I think it's definitely concerning if we're going to see more of this.
00:46:50.220
And, you know, with the policies that allow you to bring in, you know,
00:46:54.400
your people that you know, your family and everyone,
00:46:57.420
it's going to be a lot more than 5,000 people most probably.
00:47:03.780
Our immigration minister, he's, I don't know if there's a lot going on there in his head
00:47:09.760
I think there's probably a couple of brain cells bouncing around,
00:47:15.160
We should all go to Israel, and they can do whatever they want with this place.
00:47:23.500
But we love Canada and the Rebel News, so mashiach now.
00:47:34.520
We stand with Israel number one, always, forever, from the beginning, forever.
00:47:39.960
What about, what if there's Indian people on the other side?
00:47:49.260
You'll know that India and Israel are together with victims,
00:47:57.200
You know, they claim the major claim of apartheid, yet they come into our rented space that we set up.
00:48:34.680
Israel Stein is the same as saying chickens for KFC.
00:48:41.780
It's just a bunch of liberals that don't know what they're talking about.
00:48:44.920
So they come here and they fight the Jewish cause.
00:48:46.720
Because there's nothing more valuable than Jewish hate.
00:48:52.840
Trudeau has fucked up this country long enough.
00:49:17.540
It looked like a mix between the Palestinian flag and a pride flag.
00:49:29.740
And you also didn't ask my permission to talk to me.
00:50:33.220
How come so many of you are wearing face diapers?
00:50:54.900
Sir, if you're calling, I can't hear you with your calling.
00:54:13.920
Well, as you can see, the hobos for Hamas, they are now asserting themselves more violently.
00:54:16.920
I would say that's because the parade has dispersed there's not tens of
00:54:23.760
thousands of people there's maybe an even number or less so now all of a
00:54:29.520
sudden like the bullies they are they are getting violent and I just got
00:54:34.920
shoved around on camera in front of the cops nothing's done somebody bizarrely
00:54:41.220
grab my ass I mean can you imagine that I thought you know members of that
00:54:47.340
community in Gaza they're given a death sentence that kind of sounded that kind
00:54:52.620
of looked a little off homoerotic to me but I digress in any event to try to ask
00:54:58.460
some questions and they don't have answers also you will notice they are
00:55:04.920
almost everybody here is wearing a disguise why would that be are they
00:55:09.460
really that concerned about avian flu or virus X no I think it's maybe they
00:55:15.700
might be up to some shenanigans and I would just say that it's not really time
00:55:21.700
for the police to call it a day this is a heavily Jewish community and this is all
00:55:27.520
about asserting their agenda they know they're not welcome here and they
00:55:32.300
shouldn't be welcome here I'm pretty much an absolutist for freedom of speech but
00:55:36.680
when you are going to advocate harm or death to an individual or a group of
00:55:41.600
individuals that crosses the line and these people do it routinely again I ask
00:55:48.260
for such an important event for the Jewish community in Israel where was our
00:55:52.820
Prime Minister a wall where was Yara Sachs the MP for this writing a wall well
00:55:58.040
maybe she's in the Middle East having a photo op with Mahmoud Abbas again it's
00:56:03.500
absolutely despicable I'll leave it with you folks look at this nonsense going on
00:56:09.380
here's Miss America again with her little noisemaker to try to drown me out the
00:56:15.260
Trudeau Liberals want to bring want to issue 5,000 visas for Gazans can you
00:56:22.120
imagine you want to throw gas on the fire we know more than 80% of Gazans support
00:56:30.380
Hamas do you want more of this on the streets of our great Dominion what do
00:56:36.320
you make of this two-tier policing I think it's a double standard just like
00:56:40.520
when the Palestinian supporters issued their tents and set up a campus at U of T yes
00:56:47.360
one Jewish person tried to set up a tent and he was immediately evacuated same
00:56:51.560
thing here you do not see Jewish violence you see Jewish support of the
00:56:55.220
state of Israel probably a support of peace and you see a double standard where
00:57:00.260
you see aggressive Palestinians wearing their face masks advocating for the
00:57:06.100
support of Hamas and pounding fists in the air in support of Hamas a totally
00:57:11.780
different agenda and you know sir just a week ago we saw in Philadelphia and
00:57:16.160
Winnipeg at pride parades they were disrupted by the pro Hamas types I'm
00:57:21.440
thinking geez if you're a queer for Palestine which side do you choose obviously
00:57:27.860
it's like there is no choice yes you know you know Jewish people have always the
00:57:36.800
Jewish community has always been accepting the LGBTQ community and it goes back to
00:57:45.440
values and we believe in acceptance and diversity and that's why we're proud to
00:57:53.600
be Jewish and Zionist now folks I'm with Ari and something really disturbing happened
00:57:59.240
was disturbing on two accounts you see Ari had his Israel flag grabbed by a pro Hamas
00:58:07.880
demonstrator who then went into a big act that she had been assaulted he was swarmed he
00:58:14.240
fought back the law enforcement personnel descended on the scene and what happened
00:58:21.020
well you said it just right there just to add to that I'm walking through over
00:58:25.760
there just crossing over minding my own business two of the little Hamas Nick
00:58:30.140
terrorist women came up to me with with their little signs and one of them
00:58:36.140
grabbed my flag and went right down to the ground screaming and crying like I did
00:58:42.360
something right I'm trying to pull my flag off of her immediately I'm swarmed by
00:58:46.620
about 20 of these little Hamas Nick's with their big flags one of them came
00:58:50.360
right up to me I had to defend myself the rest of them saw that and then they kind
00:58:55.260
of backed down police came right away and they de-escalated the situation they
00:59:00.660
actually warned me that I was instigating I was not instigating anything I was
00:59:04.840
simply crossing over she grabbed my flag came down right down and started crying
00:59:09.360
crying crying like as if I assaulted her and Harry this is really disturbing to
00:59:14.160
me because it's almost like law enforcement is re victimizing the victim
00:59:18.600
you were attacked somebody tried to steal your flag but you're the instigator why
00:59:23.760
aren't they being charged with attempted theft and assault that's right well they
00:59:28.360
should be but this is a microcosm of what's really going on in the big
00:59:31.720
situation great they attack us and then they hide behind their children and they
00:59:36.960
cry victim and who do you think is driving this I mean we know a few
00:59:42.000
months ago Toronto Police Chief Myron Demphew had a meeting with Prime
00:59:46.680
Minister Trudeau why Demphew doesn't take orders from the Prime Minister but was
00:59:51.840
he being told I know this is my theory lay off the pro Hamas people but if you
00:59:58.500
see peaceful counter demonstrators if you see members of the independent media
01:00:03.480
throw the book at them is that what's going on I think that's exactly what's
01:00:07.020
happening here I think they're being told from the higher-ups what to do right
01:00:10.980
have to stand down order for the Pali's for the Hamas Nick's right for the
01:00:15.120
anti-Israels but if you're pro-Israel if one person even steps out of line
01:00:19.560
they're all over you so guys here we are a lot of the participants in the walk with
01:00:25.140
Israel they're going home going to their cars it's kind of funny this is a
01:00:30.000
heavily Jewish area and yet it sure doesn't feel that way to me look at the
01:00:35.580
number of police that are protecting these marchers from potential hostiles
01:00:41.700
what do you make of this you know I mean it's obviously a lot for us to deal with
01:00:46.500
because this is our community these are our homes we all we all live around here
01:00:51.240
in me and him and you know we're all here in peace solidarity to show support with
01:00:56.880
our homeland in our country so I mean it's obviously not ideal but we're
01:01:01.140
thankful for the Toronto police being here to protect us because otherwise you
01:01:05.820
know who knows how things would be but yeah you know it's a good day there's
01:01:10.140

end folks isn't it perversely ironic that the walk with Israel goes right
01:01:21.360

01:01:27.120
Sachs the Liberal MP that went to the Middle East and shook hands with the
01:01:32.400
