00:00:00.000 A turtle island to Palestine. Occupation is a crime. Cease fire now. Cease fire now. 0.96
00:00:07.900 Noah Jarvis, True North. I am here at Nathan Phillips Square. It is June 16th at a pro-Iran
00:00:13.860 rally. That is right, several hundred members of the Toronto community have gathered together
00:00:18.800 to protest Israel's strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and other military facilities
00:00:25.500 and to support the Iranian regime and, I guess, the Iranian people. These people say that hundreds
00:00:32.080 of Iranians were killed. Many of these are military men, but they did not distinguish between military
00:00:39.200 deaths and civilian deaths. But they claim that around 400 people were killed in Iran and 1,300
00:00:44.640 hospitalized and that a cease fire is needed immediately. They are calling for a cease fire now
00:00:50.960 and they're also just breaking into other pro-Iranian, anti-Israel chants. Now, these are not the only
00:00:58.480 people who are here at the protest. You have some other people who are actually opposing the Iranian
00:01:04.480 regime. You have a group of Iranians who are pro-the Shah, the monarchy that was taken down in 1979 by
00:01:13.920 the current Islamist regime that is in power today. These people are supportive of Israel and they're 0.69
00:01:20.140 supportive of the strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and they hope that Iran will once 1.00
00:01:26.140 again have a revolution after which the Shah or some other non-Islamist government is installed.
00:01:32.220 These people are cheated by communists, Marxists, leftists, MEK terrorists and supporters of Islamic Republic. 0.94
00:01:40.780 You see, there is no, there is not a single flag of Iran. They are keeping the flag of Palestine, 0.62
00:01:45.660 other terrorist group, not a single flag of Iran. We have the flag of Iran and we have the flag of Israel.
00:01:52.220 Because most of my friends in Iran, almost all of them have no worry about what Benjamin Netanyahu and
00:01:58.620 the IDF is doing. Let's say it in this way. Yemen is twice the distance of Iran from Israel. They
00:02:06.860 invested just one percent of what they invested in Iran to get rid of terrorists. And they did hundreds 0.67
00:02:13.660 of times of more things. Why? Because they know Iranians stand with Israel. They are just targeting 1.00
00:02:19.500 terrorists. 2009, I was in the streets of Tehran. I'm a tall guy. I had to look like this to the terrorists
00:02:25.020 like these people who had come from Damascus, Beirut and Baghdad. So they bring Arabs, they kill us. 1.00
00:02:33.340 Now that they are being neutralized one by one, these people are worried about their future.
00:02:39.500 Their money comes from Iran. They know that sooner or later Iran will be free and they have no money 0.97
00:02:44.220 and they have to go and work like others. They know that these funds that they are paid is their
00:02:49.660 fund by this communist government. It's paid to them as long as they are keeping Iran in the 0.75
00:02:55.500 control of globalists. So they are organizing such a thing. And some people who don't know,
00:03:01.420 even I talked to some of them, they said they will be also at 8 p.m. in Melasman Square,
00:03:05.740 another rally with the flag of Iran, with the flag of Israel. So we are here just to let them know
00:03:11.740 that if you don't know what's going on here, you are being fooled by terrorists, Marxists,
00:03:17.740 communists and Islamists. This is the Unhali Alliance of the Red and Black. 0.99
00:03:21.740 Shah of Iran, the King of Iran, Pahlavi III said it. For over 50 years, we are fighting with the 0.90
00:03:27.660 Unhali Alliance of the Red and Black. Anywhere from the fake revolution in Iran 1979 to what is 0.92
00:03:35.020 happening in Israel, that big massacre, 7th of October, over 1700 people were slaughtered.
00:03:42.700 And media doesn't tell anything about that. This is the Unhali Alliance of the Red and Black. They can 1.00
00:03:48.300 kill, so they kill. Whenever they can kill, they kill. Whenever they can kill, ceasefire now.
00:03:54.060 There will be a victory soon. No ceasefire. We also have a group of pro-Israeli and Jewish
00:04:01.260 members of the Toronto community who have brought big Israeli flags, who are also condemning the
00:04:07.580 Iranian regime and praising Israel for their strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. These people say
00:04:15.020 that the people here have been brainwashed, indoctrinated by leftist ideology and Islamist 0.91
00:04:21.500 ideology, that they have lived the comforts of and enjoyed the democratic freedoms of Canada and
00:04:27.500 they don't actually know what the conditions in Iran or even Palestine are like. So there have been
00:04:34.620 many such protests like this in the past. Many of them have been for Palestine and we are likely to see
00:04:41.100 more pro-Iran protests and gatherings in the future. Noah Jarvis for True North, signing out.
