Summary
In the wake of the recent anti-Israel protest in Toronto, I sit down with Mayor Policing Minister Polak to discuss the police response to the anti-Zionist protesters, and why they should have been dealt with the way they were.
Transcript
00:00:03.540
If you want to come over here and have something to say, at least be educated on what you're
00:00:08.820
I mean, we had walkers from the Walk for Israel block off view from the anti-Zionist protesters.
00:00:16.680
Some of the signs we saw on the other side, there was a flag that depicted, it looked
00:00:24.500
They had signs that said, Israel doesn't have the right to exist.
0.63
00:00:28.360
and they chanted for Jews in Canada to go back home to Europe.
00:00:32.940
That's usually a chant talking about Israelis leaving Israel and going to Europe,
00:00:38.760
but it's ironic that they're saying it to Jews in Canada.
00:00:42.660
We talked to some impassioned people who yelled,
00:00:46.300
Am Yisrael Ha'ai, meaning the people of Israel live.
00:00:49.320
We're going to keep talking to people at the walk
00:00:53.000
and maybe go to the festival-like environment afterwards
00:00:56.180
where there'll be music and fun and see who we can talk to?
00:01:00.780
The enemies of the Jewish people are the enemies of Western civilization,
1.00
00:01:04.020
and we're here to show them that they are not alone,
0.99
00:01:06.780
that there's a silent majority in this country that stands with them,
00:01:10.160
walks with them, and will continue to do so until it's necessary.
00:01:17.720
There was a flag that seemed to be like a caricature of a Jew.
00:01:20.460
They were telling Jews to go back to Europe in Canada.
00:01:26.180
They tell them to go back to Europe, and then when they're in Europe, they tell them to go back to the Middle East.
0.97
00:01:31.540
It's all totally self-contradictory, and you know what?
00:01:38.940
It is a sign of righteousness, and it is natural that our enemies hate us.
00:01:46.920
There were some problematic signs that we saw at the walk, but first off, I want to talk about the walk itself.
00:01:53.620
tens of thousands of Torontonians of all ethnicities, of all religious creeds coming
00:01:59.760
together to support the state of Israel and to support the Jewish people in their right to exist
00:02:05.760
in their ancestral homeland. What we saw though was individuals who were here to incite and who
00:02:12.560
were here to intimidate. We saw flags displaying anti-Semitic memes. We saw flags and placards
00:02:19.860
which said that Israel doesn't have a right to exist. This is anti-Semitism. When you deny the
00:02:26.300
only Jewish state its right to exist, that is anti-Semitic. It's also a, can be seen as a call
0.75
00:02:32.420
for mass violence. Anything that calls for the eradication of an entire nation state
00:02:37.080
would inherently be calling for the eradication of their entire people. We saw protesters exit
00:02:43.280
the designated protest zone to get into the face of peaceful walkers to intimidate, to incite. We
00:02:50.580
heard chants of, go back to Europe. This is anti-Semitism. This should never have been
00:02:56.880
tolerated on our streets today. We did not see timely enforcement when there were incidents.
00:03:03.360
Those who were promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories should have been dealt with immediately.
00:03:08.220
we did see a few arrests, but en masse we needed those who were not playing by the rules,
00:03:14.700
those who were not following the instructions of police when they began to disseminate hate,
00:03:19.320
when they began to incite and to intimidate, to be dealt with immediately. And hopefully this
00:03:23.080
will be a learning experience for the TPS because it put a blemish on what was otherwise an amazing
00:03:28.240
and a powerful day. Thousands of Iranians today came to walk with Israel in Toronto to show their
00:03:35.780
support with their Jewish brothers and sisters to stand against the wave of
00:03:40.460
anti-semitism and jihadism in this beautiful city. We were peacefully
00:03:46.100
marching thousands of people. Always when it comes to protecting Jewish
0.99
00:03:51.020
community, Toronto police failed and you can see that at that corner there is a
00:03:56.000
tension. They let the jihadist terrorist sympathizer, IRGC supporters, Hamas
0.91
00:04:01.280
supporters came to bully jewish community but these times we iranians we don't let anyone
00:04:10.800
bully us we have sued against them and we encourage toronto police to enforce the law
00:04:18.720
we chanted irgc terrorists kick them out irgc terrorists kick them out and finally one of the
00:04:27.280
the lady who covered her face with the IRGC flag, with the regime flag, and she aggressively
00:04:36.740
comes to the Jewish crowd, Iranian crowd, and once in a while, finally, Toronto police
00:04:52.440
hamas is the immune system of the body that is called palestine they are a product of the body
00:05:00.760
called palestine when a virus and the cancer cells start encroaching in your body the immune system
00:05:08.600
reacts there are white cells there are skin cells skin cells don't work in defense and don't work
00:05:15.320
in immune system but the white cells are still part of your body they have a function they will
00:05:23.720
cause you fever while they are fighting the viruses and the cancer and caution in your liver so
00:05:32.360
do you are you do you condemn your you your immune system when it is fighting a cancer
00:05:39.400
you don't as a jewish person why why are you against zionism because okay we we can we can't
00:05:47.160
mix this thing together jesus and zionism so as a jewish person you have to follow god's name
00:05:54.360
so we can mix it so if you mix it you have this question but if you divide it you look at the
0.96
00:06:00.360
the idiot they're not dressed well and the only thing they have is the the the the star of david
0.97
00:06:07.480
that they stole from the religion so they're not real jews so why are against zionists is not a
1.00
00:06:14.840
question how could be they are not following judaism they're not following god's name they're
0.56
00:06:19.960
doing what they want you know like i don't know as much as you i'm sure but wasn't like israel was
00:06:27.000
given to to the jewish people uh do you do not think that uh jews have a right to return to that
00:06:32.840
Israel is giving for the Jewish people with conditions.
00:06:43.840
They were good, but they didn't have the real condition to follow their job.
0.84
00:06:54.840
And when will be the time that God will run and will live very fast?
0.98
00:07:01.840
shem will kill this kick out all the bad people clean this field clean his land
0.99
00:07:08.540
for all the bad people and all the good people who behave who did their job good
0.99
00:07:14.180
doesn't mean the palestinians really Jews are the guy who will be living there
0.83
00:07:21.520
praying for God but the palestinians will be able to be there if they did their job
00:07:26.060
good follow God's name nobody will be killed nobody will need the old guns and
00:07:31.400
swords and bad things it will end will be a shine and light for everybody so your sign says israel
00:07:38.920
has no right to exist no it does not have to right can you explain that what right israel has to be
00:07:46.680
existed what you tell me what right there is no right the land has been stolen
0.94
00:07:51.480
he's been massacring people he's been done genocide and he's still on it every year
00:08:02.880
try to grab more land from neighbor country and so because of those and because of the genocide
00:08:14.480
that he did in Gaza is not a legitimate country, is not a country, is an occupied land that
00:08:42.240
i don't need one in canada i know i'm the zionist i'm trying to get can you bring
00:08:50.480
i'm a journalist i'm just trying to get your side of the story
00:09:01.200
i was just trying to get your side of the story here right
00:09:03.520
so you don't want to talk i'm trying to get i'm trying to get your side of the story
00:09:14.520
i'm trying to not allowed to be here just like we're not allowed to be there
00:09:21.240
i'm trying to get i'm a journalist yes i'm getting both sides of the story
00:09:26.160
no you're not a journalist all journalists have to have a side
1.00
00:09:29.180
If you're unbiased, you're not a fucking human being.
0.98
00:09:45.620
So I just got bullied out of the pro-jihad side there.
00:09:52.340
I was just in the middle of an interview with a gentleman who says Israel has no right to exist.
00:09:56.380
I didn't get him get the opportunity to ask him what other state in the world does he believes doesn't have a right to exist.
00:10:04.560
I thought that might have I got might have gotten a really good answer from that.
0.65
00:10:09.700
I also didn't ask get to ask him about what would necessitate a Jewish state not existing as they're pretty entrenched.
0.82
00:10:19.240
It would be you would need mass murder of Jewish people in Israel to get rid of the Jewish state at this point.
00:10:25.820
I didn't get to ask him that. I got bullied. That's okay.
0.99
00:10:31.000
But we're going to continue to talk with the more friendly people on the Israeli side.
00:10:36.140
We have, of course, Western values, freedom of speech and all that.
00:10:39.700
But where does it stop? Where does it begin? Where does it stop?
00:10:42.900
If people here are spreading falsehoods, creating incitement, spreading lies, telling Jews to go back to Europe,
00:10:48.680
I mean, is that a protection that we should allow?
00:10:51.360
So that's a question for the government. That's a question for the lawyers.
00:10:55.460
but it's it's wrong and we shouldn't be allowing this kind of thing and thank you for recognizing
00:11:00.740
that honestly they're they're commentaries and they just make us stronger they they don't really
00:11:06.980
understand what it's like to be like a part of a community and i just i just love it they you know
00:11:12.580
i i don't want to comment on it but i'm just saying that just creates all of this you know
00:11:17.860
you guys have these pride flags um what do you think about people who might identify with the
00:11:23.620
the LGBT community, but they'll be standing on that other side holding Islamic regime flags and
00:11:29.920
you know, what do you think about that? I think they're uneducated. I think it's basically like
1.00
00:11:35.400
a suicide mission. I really don't think they understand the implications of what they're doing
00:11:41.460
and how so many LGBTQ people struggle in the Middle East. That's suddenly just being ignored.
00:11:48.040
I really can't answer that question because I've been trying to answer that for three years.
00:12:01.060
So your sign, you have Benjamin Netanyahu, Raza Pahlavi, and Donald Trump.
00:12:08.200
What do you think about Canada not really taking a stand?
00:12:18.020
because we have so many of this regime like people of regime in Canada they don't do anything
00:12:28.840
about it that's why his picture is not here we need to see action after action after he does
0.64
00:12:36.280
something maybe his picture is going to go into it too you know that Canada is one of the worst
00:12:41.940
place for jewish community but uh the real answer to those jihadists the real answer to those uh
00:12:50.020
terrorist sympathizer is a courage okay we need to stand on our ground we need to stand up for
00:12:56.820
canada and uh today is jews tomorrow is christian the day after that is iranian community we should
0.65
00:13:03.780
not let those uh terrorists the other side of the street please show them we should not them yeah we
00:13:17.640
First they go after Jew, then they come after me and you.
00:13:22.480
It's about wrapping up here, the walk with Israel.
0.52
00:13:27.760
I heard one person say there was probably about the same this year.
00:13:35.440
Got to talk to some of the, even a Jewish person who is against Israel over there.
0.82
00:13:41.420
Now, of course, we have the Iranians who are out in full force today with their Shah flags,
0.79
00:13:48.240
their pre-revolution Iranian flags, Israel flags.
00:13:52.820
They're yelling, I'm Israel, hi, the people of Israel live.
00:13:56.080
They're yelling, Javid Shah, long live King Razapalavi.
00:14:00.080
And yeah, we spoke to some weird, some odd character there.
00:14:10.320
And he implied that all the Jewish people are Satan and that he was pro-Hamas.
0.98
00:14:17.860
And he said Hamas was a white blood cell attacking the cancer that is the Israeli people.
0.94
00:14:24.900
So interesting characters on the anti-Israel side there.
00:14:28.520
But this has been Clayton Demain with Juno News reporting at Bathurst and Shepherd in Toronto for the Walk with Israel.
