Hello, my friends. I am sweltering in the Sea of Galilee. It's 37, 38 degrees Celsius here,
00:00:05.940
but I got a story for you from North America. I want to talk to you about the Anti-Defamation
00:00:09.920
League, which is allegedly an anti-antisemitism group, but I put it to you that they are actually
00:00:16.160
a leading cause of antisemitism. I'll make my case. But first, let me invite you to go to
00:00:21.940
rebelnewsplus.com. That's where you can get the video version of this podcast. I'd like you to
00:00:27.720
do that because we show you so many things. We don't just tell it to you. Rebel News Plus gives
00:00:32.720
you the video version. It's just eight bucks a month. Go to rebelnewsplus.com. All right, here's
00:00:37.900
today's podcast. Tonight, the Anti-Defamation League weaponizes antisemitism
00:00:57.700
to attack Elon Musk. It's September 7th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:02.700
You're ready for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:01:09.000
Hi, everybody. As you can see, I am in Israel. It is 37 degrees Celsius, but I'm wearing long
00:01:23.440
pants because we are here in Capernaum, and there are some churches where you have to dress
00:01:27.940
modestly. No shorts, really short sleeves, no tank tops. I mean, no shorts. We're here because Rebel
00:01:35.140
News is on a week-long journalist's mission in Israel, and then three days in the United Arab
00:01:40.980
Emirates. We're going to investigate the Abraham Accords, the peace treaty between Israel and some
00:01:46.940
of its Arab neighbors. So we're touring around, not just me, Sheila Gunn-Reed, Abiy Amini, David Menzies,
00:01:52.220
and a couple of other rebels, but our most enthusiastic guests. So today, we're here in
00:01:58.180
the Galilee, and we had a little bit of fun on the Sea of Galilee. Here's just some images of that.
00:02:04.560
We did a little bit of a Hava Nagila dance. We raised the Canadian flag on the boat. It was a hoot.
00:02:10.220
Getting to know some rebels from mainly Canada, but there's some Brits and some Australians and some
00:02:15.740
Americans. It's a great group of people, and you're welcome to come on all our rebel events.
00:02:20.660
But today, I want to get down to a subject that has nothing to do with our trip here. Well,
00:02:26.300
except in one way, maybe. I want to talk about how something called the Anti-Defamation League,
00:02:31.740
the ADL, has taken the real issue of anti-Semitism or hating Jews and has weaponized it and deployed it
00:02:40.840
for partisan purposes. The ADL has been around for a long time, and it was an explicitly anti-anti-Semitic
00:02:49.200
organization. By that, I mean its purpose was to fight back against anti-Semitism. They called it
00:02:55.700
the Anti-Defamation League because their theory was people were defaming Jews, and they wanted to set
00:03:01.360
the record straight, tell the truth, and fight back against the biggest. I think it was a noble mission,
00:03:07.160
sort of like the NAACP or other black organizations, trying to defend against anti-black racism.
00:03:14.200
But just like the black civil rights movement has had tremendous success, so too has the anti-anti-Semitism
00:03:21.320
movement. There is really trivial traces of anti-Semitism left in American life, in Canadian
00:03:28.680
life, in most of Western Europe. It's simply not acceptable to be anti-Semitism. I'm not to be
00:03:34.060
anti-Semitic. I'm not saying there's none, but it is so minor, it cannot be called systemic anymore.
00:03:40.020
I'd say the same thing about being black. I mean, the United States has had a black president and then
00:03:45.080
re-elected him. In Canada, we never had slavery, other than a few traces of slavery, usually
00:03:51.120
indigenous tribes having other indigenous slaves. So Canada, I mean, many of its largest cities like
00:03:58.620
Toronto and Vancouver are majority minority cities. My point is that many of the civil rights crusades of
00:04:05.120
the 60s have succeeded. But instead of wrapping up and saying, all right, we declared victory, now let's
00:04:11.060
go back to a normal life. They've perpetuated themselves for a couple of reasons. Number one,
00:04:16.400
it's good business to be in the anti-anti-Semitism, the anti-bigotry business. You get lots of sympathy
00:04:22.160
in the media. You've got lots of attention. You get government grants. It's great for fundraising.
00:04:26.560
But more importantly, even than the industry itself, is weaponizing the charge of anti-Semitism or
00:04:34.900
anti-blackism or transphobia or misogyny or whatever it is, weaponizing that and deploying it against
00:04:41.600
your political enemies. And that is what the ADL has done. The ADL was already liberal and anti-conservative
00:04:49.860
and frankly, a little bit anti-Christian to begin with. Then a few years ago, it hired as its CEO
00:04:55.080
a personal assistant to Barack Obama. You can see them here bantering in the White House.
00:05:02.240
His name is Greenblatt and he is the CEO. But I would say he's not really working for the ADL. I think
00:05:10.680
he is really an embedded Democratic Party activist. And just like Barack Obama liked to weaponize racism
00:05:19.080
and the charge of racism against conservatives, Greenblatt weaponizes the charge of anti-Semitism
00:05:24.800
against conservatives. They're quite silent when it's anti-Semitic bigotry coming from
00:05:31.800
Islamic sources. We see that in Canada too. The so-called Canadian anti-hate network only looks for
00:05:39.380
hate on the right. It never looks for hate on the left, which is where most anti-Semitism is these days.
00:05:45.300
University campuses, woke policies, and amongst Muslim communities. I'm not saying that all Muslims
00:05:52.080
are anti-Semitic. Of course not. But I'm saying that most of the anti-Semitic rhetoric you find
00:05:57.080
in Western Europe, in Canada, the United States, is not from Christians. It's from people who have
00:06:03.460
imported the anti-Semitism here from countries that are explicitly anti-Semitic. But it's difficult
00:06:11.880
for liberals to accuse someone of anti-Semitism if they are immigrants, if they are Muslims.
00:06:19.100
So the ADL does not blow the whistle on actual anti-Semitism, just like the Canadian anti-hate
00:06:25.400
network doesn't blow the whistle on actual bigotry. Rather, what they do is they accuse
00:06:30.900
the enemies of the party of being anti-Semitic. And that does two things. First of all,
00:06:36.160
it's a false accusation. But second of all, people see it's a false accusation,
00:06:42.180
and they start to devalue the word anti-Semitic to begin with. What I mean by that is if everyone
00:06:47.700
can see that an accusation of anti-Semitism is false, they become angry about it, and they say,
00:06:54.340
you're just using anti-Semitism as a trick, as a weapon. You've discredited it. It's like the boy who
00:07:01.500
cried, Walt, no one believes you anymore. In fact, they're rather resentful. And they say, oh, the Jews
00:07:07.020
are just using that label to delegitimize their political opponents. It's actually the worst of
00:07:13.120
all things. I believe that the anti-defamation leak actually creates more anti-Semitism than it
00:07:20.100
fixes. I believe that. And here's the example I use. Elon Musk, who paid $44 billion to buy Twitter,
00:07:29.180
has been falsely accused of promoting anti-Semitism and other bigotry on Twitter.
00:07:35.800
Now, here's someone, I believe it was from, I can't remember, Channel 4 of the BBC,
00:07:40.900
asking Elon Musk about it and saying, I've seen a lot more bigotry on Twitter. And look at Elon Musk
00:07:49.680
saying, give me an example, give me an example, give me an example. And it's clear that the journalist,
00:07:55.160
why? Do you remember this? This was from a few months ago.
00:07:57.560
Content you don't like or hateful. What do you mean to describe a hateful thing?
00:08:02.340
Yeah. I mean, you know, just content that will solicit a reaction, something that may include
00:08:08.900
something that is slightly racist or slightly sexist, those kinds of things.
00:08:13.420
So you think if something is slightly sexist, it should be banned?
00:08:19.680
Well, I'm just curious. I'm trying to say what you mean by hateful content. And I'm asking
00:08:23.540
for specific examples. And you just said that if something is slightly sexist, that's hateful
00:08:31.700
content. Does that mean that it should be banned?
00:08:33.920
Well, you've asked me whether my feed, whether it's got less or more. I'd say it's got slightly
00:08:40.220
That's what I'm asking for examples. Can you name one example?
00:08:46.880
I'll tell you why. Because I don't actually use that for you feed anymore. Because I just
00:08:50.460
don't particularly like it. And actually, a lot of people are quite similar. I only look
00:08:55.220
Well, hang on a second. You said you've seen more hateful content, but you can't name a
00:09:00.240
I'm not sure I've used that feed for the last three or four weeks.
00:09:03.680
Well, then how did you see that hateful content?
00:09:05.920
Because I've been using Twitter since you've taken it over for the last six months.
00:09:09.540
Okay. So then you must have at some point seen for you hateful content. And I'm asking
00:09:16.460
Then I say so that you don't know what you're talking about.
00:09:19.820
Yes. Because you can't give a single example of hateful content, not even one tweet. And
00:09:25.500
yet you claimed that the hateful content was high.
00:09:31.440
No. What I claim was there are many organizations that say that that kind of information is on
00:09:38.240
the rise. Now, whether it has on my feed or not...
00:09:43.060
Something like the Strategic Dialogue Institute here in the UK. They will say that. So...
00:09:48.740
Look, people will say all sorts of nonsense. I'm literally asking for a single example and
00:09:53.660
Right. And as I've already said, I don't use that feed.
00:09:58.460
You literally said you experienced more hateful content and then couldn't name a single example.
00:10:04.840
I haven't... I haven't actually looked at that feed.
00:10:07.400
Then how would you know there's hateful content?
00:10:08.980
Because I'm saying that's what I saw a few weeks ago. I can't give you an exact example.
00:10:13.260
Let's move on. We have... We only have a certain amount of time.
00:10:15.860
So that journalist hadn't actually seen anything bigoted. Had not. Couldn't come up with an example.
00:10:24.160
And then through to some study years ago before Elon Musk even bought Twitter, you can see it was
00:10:30.440
an attack on Elon Musk that was baseless, that was weaponizing the accusation of bigotry just for
00:10:37.800
a partisan attack. And that has happened not just from the media, but from these so-called anti-hate
00:10:44.520
groups. And here's Elon Musk in recent days saying that the ADL in particular has been
00:10:50.840
threatening advertisers, has been putting on a boycott of advertisers who would advertise on
00:10:56.240
the Twitter platform, and that has caused Twitter ad sales to fall pretty much in half.
00:11:02.080
Here's Elon Musk saying that the advertisers themselves are blaming the ADL for the reason
00:11:09.520
they're breaking their contracts, not renewing their contracts. It's basically they have been
00:11:14.260
threatened. Now watch this. Here's a clip from the mainstream media where a liberal journalist
00:11:20.040
actually asks the head of the ADL, did you try to shake down Elon Musk and Twitter? Here, I'll let
00:11:28.640
you see the exact wording, but my point is there's a move on the left. Al Sharpton perfected it probably
00:11:34.300
20 years ago. Jesse Jackson perfected it. They would accuse big companies of anti-Black racism,
00:11:40.760
and then they would offer themselves up as a solution. They would say, your company is deeply
00:11:45.900
racist. Your company is deeply anti-Black. But for just a quarter million dollars, we'll come into your
00:11:52.020
office and have an anti-racism training session, and we will give you a bill of good health. So we're
00:11:57.900
about to make an accusation against you, so you had better pay us. That's actually one of the things
00:12:02.880
that sent Michael Avenatti to prison. He was trying to shake down Nike in that way. Take a look at the head of
00:12:09.580
the ADL being asked, did you try to shake down Elon Musk? Take a look. Brands are big boys and girls.
00:12:18.780
They will make their own decisions. I mean, let's be clear here. Like, this is the wealthiest man in
00:12:26.100
the world running one of the most powerful media platforms on the planet. We're a non-profit here in
00:12:34.120
New York. So I think figuring out, like, who has the power in this relationship, it's pretty clear
00:12:39.880
to me. Fundamentally believe that Elon Musk is anti-Semitic? I have never said Elon Musk is
00:12:45.320
anti-Semitic. I've been on this show and said that I didn't think it was anti-Semitic. And I don't
00:12:50.380
think Twitter as a platform is anti-Semitic. And as we've said here, hate speech is the price of free
00:12:55.320
speech. But let's acknowledge that when Elon Musk and the platform bring people, hardened anti-Semites
00:13:04.520
back on, when they validate their rantings, when they algorithmically amplify them and allow it to
00:13:11.040
spread. How out there are you publicly and behind the scenes talking to advertisers and telling them
00:13:18.420
do not advertise on this platform? Are you doing that? We are not out there publicly or privately
00:13:24.940
talking to advertisers. Frankly, it's true. We did call for a pause back in November after the
00:13:32.080
acquisition. And then since then, since that initial statement, what we are doing is engaging with the
00:13:39.240
management of the company, trying to help them make it better. A question? Because I know this has
00:13:43.260
been a critique of your organization and of many. Were you seeking to have some kind of either role
00:13:49.640
at Twitter or any kind of donations made or other things? No. I only say that because there have been
00:13:55.200
folks who've looked at these situations and felt that they were being shaken down.
00:13:59.620
Look, I think, let me be honest about that, right? I think it is sort of anti-Semitic trope to suggest
00:14:05.720
when Jewish people express a degree of outrage over anti-Semitism, that somehow that's a shakedown
00:14:12.200
because Jews are greedy. That sounds to me, I'm not saying you believe that. I'm just saying
00:14:18.740
that that is the, occasionally you hear the critique among not-for-profits in certain cases
00:14:24.680
that are involved in certain causes that talk to companies and they, you hear it from leaders who
00:14:30.380
say, I feel like I'm. I hear that. So what we've tried to do over the years with Twitter, with YouTube,
00:14:36.180
with Facebook and all of its platforms, with Reddit, with Discord, I could go on and on,
00:14:41.260
is to work with them to make those platforms better. You'll notice that not only does he
00:14:45.260
not deny it, he lashes out at the Jewish reporter saying, oh, that's just an anti-Semitic trope.
00:14:51.300
It's not anti-Semitic to ask if you've been shaking down a guy, especially if the answer is,
00:14:56.840
yes, you have been. And here's Elon Musk confirming that the ADL actually asked for cash. So Elon Musk,
00:15:05.080
who has one of the largest followings on Twitter, no surprise, started to criticize the ADL for their
00:15:12.060
censorship tactics. And the ADL lashed back with this bizarre statement, accusing them of every sort
00:15:19.960
of racism, accusing Elon Musk of promoting neo-Nazis. It's the worst guilt by association
00:15:26.100
you ever did see. But then look at this. The ADL turned the whole thing into a fundraising campaign.
00:15:34.320
Not only did they lash out at Elon Musk and other Twitter personalities on the right, but then they
00:15:40.720
said, hey, Jewish donors, we're under attack by these anti-Semites. Better give us some cash.
00:15:47.880
So false accusations, an attempt to shake down Elon Musk for donations to make the problem go away,
00:15:54.020
Elon Musk reporting that this kind of shakedown is actually affecting his advertising,
00:15:59.120
and then playing to type and literally fundraising off the hoax and the hype. That's the ADL.
00:16:06.580
The ADL is saying that Twitter's an anti-Semitic place and saying that Elon Musk himself is anti-Semitic.
00:16:12.620
I simply don't believe that. I think not only is he tolerant in general, but he's never shown any
00:16:18.920
evidence of being anti-Semitic. Simply retweeting questions about the ADL is not anti-Semitism.
00:16:24.980
It reminds me of how people try to stop any conversation about George Soros, saying to
00:16:31.220
criticize George Soros is, by definition, to be anti-Semitic. To criticize globalist
00:16:37.500
schemers is, by definition, anti-Semitic, which is to imply that if you're a global schemer,
00:16:43.240
you're a Jew. I think it's that that's anti-Semitic. And it reminds me of Anthony Fauci saying to
00:16:49.640
criticize me is to criticize science. No, it's not. And you don't get to exempt yourself from any
00:16:55.900
public debate just by blowing your hate crime whistle. That's what's so fascinating about Elon
00:17:01.440
Musk, is he's so big that maybe he can survive the kind of cancel culture tactics that no one else has
00:17:09.240
been able to. He says he's going to sue the ADL, and they call it a frivolous lawsuit. Well, maybe it
00:17:15.260
is, or maybe it's not. Let me remind you, a few years ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is
00:17:21.720
the same sort of shakedown company as the ADL, they made accusations against an interesting fellow in
00:17:27.960
London, accusing him of being an Islamic extremist. Majid Nawaz is his name, and he used to be an Islamic
00:17:36.540
radical, but then he had an epiphany, and he's become sort of an ultra-moderate, progressive,
00:17:42.180
peaceful, intellectual thinker. I actually follow him and find him quite fascinating. They said that
00:17:47.900
Majid Nawaz was an extremist. He sued them, and look at this stunning and groveling apology,
00:17:55.740
plus a multi-million dollar payment that the Southern Poverty Law Center published. So maybe it's a
00:18:03.620
frivolous lawsuit, or maybe there's internal communications in the ADL that make it clear that
00:18:10.060
they know Elon Musk is not anti-Semitic, but it's good business to say that he is, because they'll
00:18:15.460
have that fundraising letter. That's the thing about defamation suits, is you get access to internal
00:18:20.300
records. Do you doubt that the ADL, like the SPLC, like the Canadian Anti-Aid Network, do you doubt
00:18:28.340
that they have fundraising meetings when they talk about how lucrative it would be to accuse this person
00:18:33.340
or that person of anti-Semitism or anti-Black bigotry? So the ADL has forced itself into the
00:18:39.940
limelight, and then now they're complaining that they're in the limelight, and that it's just
00:18:43.540
anti-Semitism. I'm on Team Elon Musk on this one, not just because I can see it's a false smear,
00:18:49.400
but because I hate the fact that Judaism, that the Jewish religion, is being rented out by the ADL for
00:18:57.740
their own profit and to smear enemies of the Democratic Party. Elon Musk is an enemy of the
00:19:03.900
Democrats and the deep state insofar as he's against their cancel culture style. He voted Democrat in the
00:19:10.940
past. I wouldn't say he's particularly Republican. I would just say he's a free speech absolutist,
00:19:16.000
and that absolutely outrages the ADL who wants to censor anyone on the right by calling them bigots.
00:19:23.180
For example, they said that it was doubtless that Tucker Carlson himself was anti-Semitic. I've never
00:19:29.880
heard anything more absurd. I don't know anyone more philo-Semitic than Tucker Carlson. The ADL is
00:19:36.220
simply an opposition war room for the Democrats, the same way their laughable counterpart in Canada,
00:19:44.600
the anti-hate network, is basically a mouthpiece for Justin Trudeau and takes cash, as you know,
00:19:49.520
directly from Trudeau. So those are some of my thoughts here. I'm sweltering in the desert heat
00:19:54.980
here at the Sea of Galilee. It's 37, 38 degrees, so hot that my notes on my cell phone, my cell phone,
00:20:01.600
it hasn't frozen. It's overheated. I was going to read some of my notes from my phone, but I have
00:20:05.840
had to go from memory. But the reason I say this is because there is real anti-Semitism in the world.
00:20:14.380
There is. And I think that what we have to do is keep the word anti-Semite sharp and not dull it by
00:20:22.300
overuse, so that when we do say that someone is anti-Semitic, we mean it and we can prove it. And
00:20:27.980
it's a call to arms, not a false boy crying wolf, as the ADL has done for fun and partisan profit for
00:20:36.580
many years. Later on in this tour, we'll be going to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum and Memorial,
00:20:43.040
and we'll see what real anti-Semitism is like. And then we'll be going to the United Arab Emirates,
00:20:48.960
a country that until recently was technically at war with the Jewish state, a country that had an
00:20:54.600
ideological embargo on anything Jewish from Israel. We'll be seeing how a country has moved beyond
00:21:01.700
anti-Semitism, and we'll see what it's like for Jews in the United Arab Emirates. I wonder if it's
00:21:07.680
easier to be Jewish in Dubai and Abu Dhabi than it is, say, in Paris or even parts of London. We'll
00:21:14.260
give you that report. So that's my monologue here, sweltering from the Sea of Galilee. It's so gorgeous
00:21:20.040
here. But Canada has been on my mind, not just the ADL battle, which affects us in Canada, but of
00:21:26.920
course, Tamara Leach at her trial, which is entering its, I guess, fourth day. My colleagues Robert
00:21:34.120
Krejcik and Lincoln Jay are doing a great job there. And when I'm back in Canada and Sheila Gunn,
00:21:38.780
we will be attending the trial too. Hey, I want to show you one more video that I recorded
00:21:43.360
in the West Bank town of Ariel. We visited a company that makes scaffold, and it's a company
00:21:51.220
that is about two-thirds Palestinian and one-third Jewish. And let me tell you, let me show you my
00:21:56.720
report from there, and it was only 31 degrees. Let me take a look at this.
00:22:00.520
Ezra Levant here. I am outside the town of Ariel in Israel. Now, it's in a disputed territory.
00:22:08.580
Israel would call it Judea and Samaria. Israel's critics would call it occupied West Bank. But it
00:22:15.020
is here, and this is an enormous factory. You can see a truck just arriving with a lot of scaffolding
00:22:21.440
material. Take a look over there. It's aluminum or steel. They have different kinds. From this
00:22:28.080
factory here, they make these parts, ship them out to construction sites, mainly in Israel proper,
00:22:34.480
and then they come back here to be cleaned up, refurbished or whatnot. An enormous factory. We had
00:22:39.240
a bit of a tour earlier. And why would we come all the way to Israel to see a scaffolding factory?
00:22:45.520
And it's sort of cool, but is that really worth traveling thousands of miles? Well, the answer is
00:22:50.080
yes, because there's an interesting story here. It's about 150 men who work in this factory,
00:22:56.420
very busy. It's an industrious place. A hundred of them are Palestinian and 50 are Israeli, but they
00:23:03.380
work together in harmony. Now, that's important because this is a factory in a community where
00:23:10.860
there are Israeli towns and Arab towns. And to work together harmoniously is a success story.
00:23:17.880
And of course, no good deed goes unpunished. There are forces in the West, in the United States,
00:23:23.940
in Canada, in Europe that do not want the success of a peaceful, harmonious coexistence like this
00:23:31.480
factory. Now, this factory is sort of immune to political pressure because all of its customers
00:23:37.120
are in Israel. It doesn't matter if someone in London or Brussels or New York stamps their feet
00:23:44.260
about this factory. Its customers are here in return to use. But there have been other companies
00:23:49.360
like SodaStream, the homemade carbonation system that's pretty popular. SodaStream had a factory
00:23:56.560
nearby that employed both Jews and Muslims harmoniously. In fact, the president is quite a liberal guy who
00:24:02.520
talked about building peace through commerce. And yet there was a global boycott of SodaStream.
00:24:09.380
The president said, look, I can move the factory to China and save a lot of dough, no problem. But the
00:24:14.680
whole idea here is to build peace. And to its eternal shame, Canada's United Church boycotted SodaStream.
00:24:23.500
They despised the idea that there could be a harmonious factory in the West Bank, employing both
00:24:29.980
Jews and Muslims working together. They did not want that success story. And so regrettably, a few years
00:24:35.760
back SodaStream did leave. SodaStream is still operating, but those Muslims no longer have
00:24:41.220
work. And I think that's part of the problem. There are certain forces that have an investment
00:24:47.120
in misery and war. For example, the United Nations Human Rights Relief Agency, UNRWA, if I'm saying
00:24:55.660
that right, it's dedicated to refugees who were created in the 1948 Israeli independence. Well, that's
00:25:04.520
obviously almost a century ago, frankly. There's not very many refugees left from that. And yet that UN agency
00:25:10.880
continues on and they're calling the children and grandchildren of refugees, refugees still. My point is, it's an
00:25:17.120
entire industry based on failure. I mean, we see that in Canada with the poverty industry, the homelessness industry, the
00:25:25.800
free drug, safe drug use industry. They don't actually want people to solve the problem. They don't want East Hastings
00:25:33.960
Street in Vancouver to be cleaned up. They don't want homelessness to be fixed because then they'd be out of a job. I think
00:25:39.340
there's a lot of interests that like to see war in the Middle East, that like to see disharmony. I don't know what the
00:25:47.400
United Church of Canada's angle is. That boggles me. I hope there's no anti-Semitism behind that. There are people
00:25:54.280
who want failure. Let me leave you with, I think, a very exciting video. As you remember, last week there were riots in
00:26:03.120
three different Canadian cities in Toronto, Edmonton, and Calvary by Eritrean migrants, many of whom claimed
00:26:10.680
to be refugees. They were melees. They were up to 150 people fighting each other with bats and clubs. And yet
00:26:19.940
in none of those three cities, so far as I record this, has there been a single arrest. I tell you that
00:26:27.020
because Tamara Leach is on trial for inciting mischief. And yet she didn't do a single violence
00:26:33.100
thing. You have 150 men who go to a protest with clubs and bats on purpose. You have dozens of
00:26:41.020
police there. They literally read the Riot Act and not a single arrest. Here's the Calvary police chief
00:26:48.000
trying to explain away the fact that he hasn't made a single arrest. Look at this girl.
00:26:52.660
This clash was centered around two separate events scheduled in the city's northeast quadrant.
00:26:57.280
The scheduled events were peaceful in nature, and all attendees are not to be blamed for the
00:27:02.300
violence that transpired alongside them. I want to be very clear. The clash was not a protest. This
00:27:09.020
was a planned, targeted attack made by some members of the involved communities. This is really the
00:27:15.280
largest violent event to happen in our city in recent memory, if you think about the numbers of
00:27:20.820
people that were involved in this. We are actively investigating this incident, and we will hold those
00:27:26.500
responsible for the criminal activity that took place there. It could be characterized as a riot,
00:27:32.260
but at the end of the day, I think it's fine just to say that it was a senseless violence that was sort
00:27:38.580
of planned and premeditated. I think the underlying issues that sort of, you know, drive this are very
00:27:45.020
complicated. And there's very strong feelings on both sides of it, as you might expect. But at the end
00:27:51.480
of the day, we're not policing ideologies. We don't get on one side or the other of this. This is
00:27:57.060
around behavior for us. And so the behavior that we see in the videos and in the reporting of this
00:28:02.000
is the very same behavior that we've seen in other cities. And it's not okay. And it's not okay in our
00:28:07.180
city. I would have been very happy to see arrests made at the scene. I think there's a real deterrent
00:28:12.120
effect to that. But I understand and support the decisions that were made around the priorities that
00:28:16.980
were set and executed. And so that's fair enough. We'll deal with it after the fact. No, I don't
00:28:21.600
think you'll see it that quickly. We put together a task group today, an investigative group that will
00:28:25.800
go after all of the offenses in relation to this. So again, I think it's really important that we
00:28:30.700
demonstrate that this is not okay in our city, and that the individuals who committed criminal
00:28:35.280
offenses there in the parking lot be held to account for that. Well, I think with respect to the
00:28:38.980
violence, like when we're talking about bringing, you know, rocks and bricks and that type of thing,
00:28:43.000
and throwing them at other people and putting them in the hospital, I think there should be some
00:28:46.460
serious repercussions for that. This is not something we can condone in our city. And the
00:28:51.960
people that were involved in the worst of that should feel the wrath. What an embarrassing police
00:28:57.660
officer. That's the guy who can't make an arrest with 150 rioters, but he was happy to take
00:29:03.360
Pastor Arthur Pawlowski out of his car for a dramatic takedown arrest in the middle of the
00:29:09.080
highway. But let me leave you with a report by my colleague Avi Amini here in Israel, where the
00:29:14.520
Eritreans also had a riot. Unlike in Canada, the government here has arrested and jailed dozens
00:29:20.520
of those rioters. Take a look at what Avi found when he went to that neighborhood.
00:29:23.920
Avi Amini for Rebel News in Tel Aviv, Israel, at the location where violent street clashes broke out
00:29:30.520
between two opposing asylum seeker groups. The two Eritrean groups both claiming asylum here in Israel,
00:29:38.680
the red side declaring their support for the Eritrean government, while the blue opposed to the
00:29:45.680
government, they fled. It raises the question though, if they love the government, why are they seeking
00:29:52.500
asylum here in Israel? The ones wearing the red, they say they love the government there. So why are
00:29:58.580
they here? Which is stupidness. You can't go to your country because of the kind of government you
00:30:04.580
have. So why are you supporting them? Was it scary? It was very scary. We were run away, go inside the
00:30:11.580
homes. It was very scary. You know, everybody was scared, you know.
00:30:15.580
Why would they come here if they love the government there? I don't know. They came and they were claiming
00:30:30.580
they need protection from the government of Israel. So I don't know what's happening or what is happening
00:30:36.580
to them now. They are now supporting the government. I cannot tell. I'm not part of them. So I cannot judge
00:30:42.580
them. While the footage indeed shocked the nation and in fact the world, the government
00:30:47.580
here in Israel has now arrested over 50 of those responsible for the violence and are holding them
00:31:05.580
Even a local Palestinian man who comes here to work directly across from the site
00:31:11.580
every day. He says he wasn't here on Saturday when that violence broke out. But he himself says
00:31:25.580
That stance infuriating many on the left here in Israel. But a right-wing member of Knesset here says,
00:31:32.580
hey, if you don't want us to deport them back to the country they fled, well, we should deport them to your
00:31:42.580
We know, we know about that shit. We don't care. We want to live in freedom. Freedom of the creation has brought us
00:31:53.580
Do you think it's okay to deport them if they got violent here?
00:31:56.580
Yeah, because who is a violent, the loose of the country? Supposed to deal with, according to the
00:32:05.580
the laws of the country, understand? So if they want to deport them, they use their hand and find
00:32:14.580
You have people happy because people here in the street, no people, no work, no home, no food.
00:32:28.580
It's difficult. Like me now, I come 2005 until now. I don't get feel like me, I need exactly.
00:32:45.580
You know I'm sick and I'm also part of them, but for me I have to make sure I do what is right.
00:32:51.580
I just, after I go from work, I close from work, I go home, and I don't have to do anything that's
00:32:56.580
going to cause problems to the society and the nation or the country that I'm living in.
00:33:01.580
It's not a good idea because they have sympathised. People of Israel, the government have sympathised
00:33:10.580
Well, that's our show for today. I hope you've enjoyed it. It wasn't as perfect as I would like it to be
00:33:16.580
because I was unable to read my notes. It's just so hot. My phone shut down. I was going to be more precise
00:33:22.580
by reading some of the tweets and reading some of the memos from the ADL, but we'll show them on the screen
00:33:28.580
and hopefully that will be clear. I'm here with Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies, so they will be doing
00:33:34.580
a message from Israel as well. And I'll try to make things meaningful. I can hardly wait to go to the United Arab Emirates.
00:33:40.580
In particular, I'm looking forward to, in that country, they've built this Abraham Friendship Center.
00:33:46.580
They call it the Abraham Accords, where there's a mosque, a church, and a synagogue co-located in one place.
00:33:52.580
I find that fascinating, and I can hardly wait to go there and tell you the story from it.
00:33:58.580
Until then, on behalf of all of us here from Rebel News to you at home,
