Rebel News Podcast - A pack of teenagers attack Jewish kids on the streets of Toronto. Who did it, and why？

00:00:00.000 Tonight, a pack of a dozen teenagers attack Jewish kids on the streets of Toronto.

00:00:05.120 Who did it and why?

00:00:06.780 It's November 13th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:15.100 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:18.880 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:22.580 You come here once a year with a sign and you feel morally superior.

00:00:25.580 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it,

00:00:29.540 is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:00:36.460 You'd think that a group of religious Jews wearing yarmulkes, that's the little head covering, 1.00

00:00:40.740 you'd think a group of them walking down the street in Toronto and being attacked

00:00:44.400 by a pack of a dozen or more teenagers.

00:00:47.940 I've read some reports saying there were up to 20 people were in on it.

00:00:51.600 You'd think that would be big news.

00:00:53.240 Four Jews say they were accosted by a gang and say that it started with anti-Semitic taunts

00:01:01.400 and had soon moved to a fight, a physical assault, even a robbery.

00:01:07.200 The gang scattered, but police say they arrested one suspect and are looking for more.

00:01:13.460 Now that's pretty shocking, I think.

00:01:15.540 It's actually not far from our world headquarters here in Toronto.

00:01:18.820 Here's what the general area looks like on Google Maps.

00:01:23.020 It's a very Jewish area.

00:01:24.640 I mean, Jewish bakeries, there's two bagel shops right next to each other.

00:01:27.960 There's synagogues around there, Jewish homes.

00:01:30.920 It's a couple of blocks away from the barber, from library.

00:01:34.080 I mean, what gang would even be there in the heart of what I lovingly call Jewtopia? 1.00

00:01:40.160 Here's a press release from police.

00:01:44.500 Let me read it to you a little bit of a bit.

00:01:46.820 Robbery hate crime investigation, nine young persons wanted.

00:01:51.920 That's what they say in the headline.

00:01:53.420 Sounds serious, doesn't it?

00:01:55.560 Let me read the whole thing to you.

00:01:58.220 The Toronto Police Service is requesting the public's assistance identifying and locating

00:02:02.300 nine young persons wanted in a robbery hate crime investigation.

00:02:05.700 On Sunday, November 11th, 2018, at 8 p.m., officers responded to an assault in the Fairholme

00:02:13.340 Avenue and Bathurst Street area.

00:02:16.480 It is reported that four 17-year-old boys were walking in the area, all of whom were wearing

00:02:22.160 attire of their religious faith.

00:02:25.180 As they passed another group of young persons who were unknown to them, derogatory comments

00:02:29.360 were made about their religion.

00:02:31.300 The unknown group then assaulted two of the 17-year-old boys, punching and kicking them.

00:02:36.660 A pair of sunglasses was stolen from one of the victims.

00:02:39.920 The unknown suspects split up and fled the area.

00:02:44.440 Police were called and attending officers located and arrested one of the suspects involved in

00:02:49.200 the assault.

00:02:50.480 The victims of the assault received treatment for their injuries at the scene.

00:02:54.460 The outstanding suspects are described as in their early teens.

00:02:57.660 And the first thing I noticed was, they asked for help in finding the suspects, but they didn't

00:03:06.400 describe the suspects.

00:03:08.260 Even though they have one suspect in custody, who could surely tell them a lot of details,

00:03:15.820 they said there were four victims who were 17.

00:03:19.120 So surely, and obviously, they saw who the attackers were.

00:03:25.900 And even if they couldn't describe them precisely, you know, in a fight or whatever,

00:03:30.640 they could surely know a few things.

00:03:32.760 I mean, to say the obvious, were they male or female?

00:03:36.000 Let's start there.

00:03:38.060 Early teens.

00:03:39.000 That's specific.

00:03:40.640 Were they also Jewish?

00:03:43.000 I doubt it.

00:03:44.660 Were they, oh, I don't know, Muslim?

00:03:48.560 Maybe they were white supremacists or something.

00:03:51.580 That's what the media tells us we have to be on the lookout for.

00:03:54.180 Who's attacking Jews?

00:03:55.840 Who were they?

00:03:58.160 It's odd that the police would know.

00:04:01.000 Surely they would know.

00:04:02.420 Because the 17-year-old boys would tell them the one suspect.

00:04:05.620 So the police know.

00:04:08.480 They claim they want our help, but they won't tell us anything about the suspects.

00:04:13.080 That's odd.

00:04:14.160 Don't you think that's odd?

00:04:16.140 I mean, if you don't want to ask for help, don't ask for help.

00:04:18.180 But don't pretend.

00:04:19.320 That's weird.

00:04:21.260 Here's one of the teens who was attacked, who answered questions outside a synagogue in a little scrum,

00:04:26.420 just right outside his little Jewish school.

00:04:28.540 He mentions that they shouted about Hitler and Nazis.

00:04:33.860 But oddly, he doesn't mention anything about the suspect either.

00:04:39.580 Now, we blurred his face because he's a minor.

00:04:41.620 Take a look at this.

00:04:42.640 What happened?

00:04:43.340 We were walking in.

00:04:44.860 We were just saying stuff.

00:04:47.160 I didn't really hear what they said, but they said stuff.

00:04:50.240 And that's it.

00:04:52.240 So my friend was like, don't really, you know, don't mess.

00:04:56.560 Go away.

00:04:57.520 They just started attacking.

00:04:59.420 My friend was like, don't mess.

00:05:01.440 Go away.

00:05:01.860 You know, I'm not going to just go away.

00:05:05.600 They heard Hitler. 0.63

00:05:07.180 We're screaming.

00:05:08.000 We can't, you know, we're just walking.

00:05:09.400 We're just like, we're trying to walk.

00:05:10.940 We didn't get aggressive.

00:05:12.380 Then there was like five people on top of my friend, punching him on top of him.

00:05:17.160 You know, so then we pulled down a car and the guy happened to be connected with radios and stuff like that.

00:05:23.460 So then we start to chase them.

00:05:24.560 I think, I think it's odd, don't you think?

00:05:29.060 I mean, it's one thing to have vandalism.

00:05:31.400 That happens a lot in Toronto.

00:05:34.120 Here's a story from just last month.

00:05:36.240 Just about five minutes away from this latest incident.

00:05:38.780 It's a Jewish school.

00:05:39.620 If you scroll down a little bit in the website, you can see the phrase free Palestine is graffitied right onto the school sign.

00:05:51.020 Who knows who did that?

00:05:53.020 I mean, it says free Palestine, but it could have been white supremacists, I suppose.

00:05:57.020 Or maybe it's Palestinian extremists, of which there are now countless in this country.

00:06:03.080 And Trudeau can't bring in Muslim extremists fast enough. 0.98

00:06:06.640 He even says ISIS returnees have a powerful voice we should listen to.

00:06:11.360 And that's the thing, isn't it?

00:06:12.640 How the media reacts to anti-Semitism absolutely depends on who's doing the anti-Semitism.

00:06:19.760 Right now, there's a Muslim terrorist group called Hamas that is right now shooting dozens, hundreds of rockets and missiles into Israel from Gaza,

00:06:32.100 deliberately aiming at civilian areas.

00:06:34.660 And meh, you know, no one cares.

00:06:37.600 The UN doesn't care.

00:06:39.240 There are a few perfunctory tweets out there, but no one cares.

00:06:43.860 In fact, Justin Trudeau just topped up Canada's gift to the Hamas-run hate schools in Gaza.

00:06:49.140 So he's obviously not too perturbed by things.

00:06:53.100 That was a boost to our previous Canadian gift to Hamas. 0.96

00:06:57.640 Donald Trump had cut back American funding to Gaza because of corruption and terrorism.

00:07:03.680 So Trudeau replaced the funding that Trump cut.

00:07:06.840 He undid Trump's ethical move.

00:07:10.080 Not too surprising.

00:07:11.220 I mean, Trudeau appointed Omar al-Jabra, the Saudi-born former president of the Canadian Arab Federation,

00:07:16.780 as one of Trudeau's parliamentary secretaries.

00:07:21.460 The Canadian Arab Federation supported the legalization of Hamas and Hezbollah,

00:07:25.440 both terrorist groups which specifically target Jews for murder.

00:07:29.340 So that's all fine with the liberals and the media.

00:07:32.640 Have you ever seen a story criticizing Omar al-Jabra's historic anti-Semitism?

00:07:37.420 I haven't.

00:07:39.460 Now compare that to the mass shooting in Pittsburgh last month when a white racist shot up a synagogue.

00:07:47.880 Now that was huge news, as it should have been.

00:07:49.560 Eleven people were murdered and more were wounded, including police.

00:07:53.320 But the reaction was massive in the media, much more so and much more quickly condemned

00:07:58.320 as a terrorist hate crime than similar terrorist attacks done by Muslim perpetrators.

00:08:04.440 When the knee-jerk reaction is always, oh, it's too early to tell.

00:08:09.000 Don't jump to conclusions.

00:08:10.640 And okay, well, sure, the perpetrator is Muslim, but this wasn't a Muslim act. 0.91

00:08:15.520 It was just workplace violence or something.

00:08:17.500 And oh, okay, fine.

00:08:19.000 He said Allah Akbar, but he didn't mean it.

00:08:22.800 He was just mentally ill.

00:08:24.480 You know the drill.

00:08:25.320 That's what they did with Faisal Hussain.

00:08:28.560 Right here in Toronto, the mass murderer who calmly went down the Danforth Ave in Toronto,

00:08:34.380 just murdering people.

00:08:36.660 The media and the political establishment, the police, muddied the waters by trying to

00:08:42.260 de-Islamize that obvious act of terrorism. 0.87

00:08:46.400 The opposite in Pittsburgh.

00:08:48.000 In fact, they tried to hang it around Trump's neck politically,

00:08:51.640 even though the terrorist in Pittsburgh clearly said he hated Donald Trump

00:08:56.060 because he thought Trump was too pro-Jewish.

00:08:58.680 And Trump is pretty pro-Jewish. 0.82

00:09:01.120 It was so disgraceful that after that attack in Pittsburgh,

00:09:04.980 one of Trudeau's liberal MPs, Anthony Housefather, this guy,

00:09:09.780 actually had the gall to blame Donald Trump for anti-Semitism here in Canada.

00:09:16.760 What a disgrace.

00:09:20.060 Okay, so who did this in Toronto?

00:09:22.340 Obviously, the police know.

00:09:23.460 They have a suspect in custody.

00:09:25.540 I think the victims would know.

00:09:28.880 But no one has said who on the record yet.

00:09:31.380 At least, not as I'm writing and saying this,

00:09:33.900 but two sources in the community who I talked to,

00:09:37.280 I live not too far away,

00:09:39.800 told me that strangely, surprisingly,

00:09:44.120 it was a gang of young Filipino men.

00:09:48.820 Teenagers, but Filipino, not Muslims, not white supremacists.

00:09:52.700 And I have to tell you, I was quite surprised by what they said,

00:09:55.440 because in Toronto, at least, I can tell you from my own observations,

00:09:58.680 living here and not far away from where this all happened,

00:10:01.660 the Jewish and Filipino communities are close and friendly.

00:10:05.040 There's not a Jewish institution in the area where it's a synagogue or a daycare

00:10:10.140 or a restaurant or a bakery that doesn't have Filipino staff in intimate roles.

00:10:13.840 I bet you those two are bagel bakeries.

00:10:15.920 I haven't actually been into those two,

00:10:17.340 but I bet you there's Filipino staff in there, for example.

00:10:20.500 The community is peaceful.

00:10:21.860 I've never heard of anything like this.

00:10:23.380 And to have that Nazi edge that that one Jewish kid talked about,

00:10:27.320 quoting, praising Hitler, that's bizarre, don't you think?

00:10:31.660 Now, we'll have to wait for the final facts to come out,

00:10:34.540 but if the two reports I received are borne out,

00:10:38.040 there's obviously a chance I've been told something inaccurate.

00:10:40.540 But if it's true, it will come as a shocking surprise,

00:10:43.900 not only to the Jews of the city,

00:10:45.640 but I think to the Filipino community itself too.

00:10:48.120 I'm sure they will be appalled and embarrassed by this,

00:10:51.100 and it wouldn't surprise me if these attackers

00:10:53.020 are subject to a lot of correction from their own community.

00:10:57.640 I'm optimistic in that regard.

00:10:58.840 I think that Filipino leadership, especially in the churches,

00:11:02.220 will probably be harder on these attackers

00:11:04.400 than either the Jews or the civic authorities or police.

00:11:07.920 That's just a guess.

00:11:10.160 And as I write this, I can see that the media

00:11:12.140 is already losing interest in the story.

00:11:14.920 And as I write this,

00:11:15.720 Justin Trudeau has not yet written a tweet about this attack.

00:11:19.380 So every moment that passes,

00:11:20.920 and the story is now two days old,

00:11:23.040 every moment that passes confirms for me

00:11:24.800 that perhaps my two sources are correct.

00:11:27.480 For if it had been a white supremacist group

00:11:29.640 or right-wingers who attacked these Jews,

00:11:33.020 don't you think Trudeau would have weaponized this moment

00:11:35.160 into a political denunciation of his enemies

00:11:37.600 like he did earlier this year?

00:11:40.540 Remember when an 11-year-old girl lied

00:11:42.760 and said that a Chinese man had accosted her on the street

00:11:46.100 on the way to school twice,

00:11:48.380 and with a pair of scissors that he just happened to be carrying,

00:11:52.800 carefully cut her hijab 1.00

00:11:54.500 while she just stood there, I guess?

00:11:57.440 And oh, by the way, he was so careful

00:11:59.140 that he didn't cut her when he cut her hijab.

00:12:02.260 And he was so careful that no one else saw,

00:12:05.000 even though he came back a second time.

00:12:07.420 I mean, it was so obviously a hoax.

00:12:10.600 Yet the school board convened a national press conference

00:12:14.160 for a minor child,

00:12:16.020 put her in front of the cameras.

00:12:17.220 While the attacker was allegedly still on the prowl,

00:12:20.560 what an obvious lie.

00:12:24.300 Trudeau tweeted about it almost immediately.

00:12:26.280 It was so quick.

00:12:28.140 It looked, it felt like it was orchestrated.

00:12:31.640 And when the girl was, in fact, proven to be a liar, 0.65

00:12:35.260 well, Justin Trudeau has kept the tweet up to this day.

00:12:38.360 Because the most important thing is to scold Canadians 1.00

00:12:40.900 for being bigots, anti-Muslim bigots,

00:12:43.260 even if it wasn't true.

00:12:44.500 It's true enough.

00:12:47.220 Well, here in Toronto, two days ago,

00:12:49.220 we actually have a real assault on the street

00:12:52.720 by a gang, one of whom is in custody.

00:12:56.400 It ain't no hoax.

00:12:58.720 And Trudeau's too busy.

00:13:02.080 Because I suspect the perpetrators don't fit the narrative

00:13:04.640 about who Trudeau likes to scold as bigots.

00:13:08.020 I'm surprised by the whole thing.

00:13:11.920 I've never heard of anti-Semitism

00:13:13.340 amongst the Filipino community,

00:13:15.240 at least not here in Canada.

00:13:17.000 But that doesn't mean we ignore this story.

00:13:19.220 Let's understand this story.

00:13:20.720 Let's figure out this story.

00:13:22.700 But the left doesn't want to,

00:13:24.360 because they really don't care about racism.

00:13:28.020 They only care about racism 0.83

00:13:29.460 from certain people,

00:13:31.300 against certain people.

00:13:32.400 I think I showed you this video the other day

00:13:34.820 of Louis Farrakhan, the black activist,

00:13:37.420 the leader of the Nation of Islam, as it's called,

00:13:39.940 talking a bit about Jews.

00:13:41.700 I'm not going to play you a long clip.

00:13:43.640 This is just an excerpt for it.

00:13:45.060 This was just earlier this year.

00:13:46.740 Get a load of this.

00:13:47.560 I'm not mad at you

00:13:49.700 because you're so stupid. 0.98

00:13:57.720 Don't you know,

00:13:59.500 my teacher, Elijah Muhammad, taught me one day.

00:14:03.620 He said there once was a donkey that fell in the ditch.

00:14:09.100 And everybody came along,

00:14:11.120 they picked up a stone and threw it at the donkey. 0.77

00:14:13.240 They threw so many stones

00:14:16.980 till the ditch got filled up

00:14:19.040 and the donkey walked out.

00:14:24.460 So my teacher said,

00:14:26.760 brother, remember,

00:14:28.880 every knock is a boost.

00:14:34.060 So when they talk about Farrakhan,

00:14:38.320 call me a hater.

00:14:40.660 You know what they do.

00:14:41.560 Call me an anti-Semite.

00:14:46.020 Stop it.

00:14:48.020 I'm anti-termite.

00:14:53.560 That really is similar to Nazi imagery of Jews

00:14:56.900 as rats and vermin.

00:14:59.020 And yet Louis Farrakhan remains polite company.

00:15:03.440 He's on all the social media outlets.

00:15:05.780 He's never deplatformed.

00:15:08.280 And look at him here.

00:15:08.940 Look at this picture.

00:15:09.520 He's in the front row,

00:15:11.820 the row of honor,

00:15:13.660 with Bill Clinton

00:15:14.740 and Jesse Jackson,

00:15:17.760 now Sharpton at a funeral.

00:15:19.400 Now, Bill Clinton says he hates racism.

00:15:21.860 Oh, he sure does.

00:15:24.160 Except if they're his political allies.

00:15:26.040 Speaking of which,

00:15:27.040 you can see Jesse Jackson there.

00:15:28.660 Do you remember he once called New York City

00:15:30.540 Hymeetown,

00:15:31.920 which is such a weird insult.

00:15:33.420 And Al Sharpton,

00:15:35.600 he has literally fomented race riots

00:15:39.680 that killed Jews dead in New York.

00:15:43.540 A modern pogrom.

00:15:45.120 And not only was Bill Clinton fine with that,

00:15:49.820 sat next to him,

00:15:50.980 so is the entire mainstream media.

00:15:52.600 Really.

00:15:53.720 What is Farrakhan

00:15:55.280 but the black version of the KKK?

00:15:57.780 And just a couple months ago,

00:15:58.680 they were all sitting together

00:15:59.660 at a funeral

00:16:00.940 and the media didn't squawk.

00:16:03.580 I showed you a story

00:16:04.720 in the New York Times

00:16:05.440 of all places

00:16:06.060 a few days ago

00:16:07.280 that shows

00:16:07.760 anti-Semitic crime

00:16:09.120 in New York

00:16:11.280 is just

00:16:11.980 not right-wing.

00:16:13.920 It's just not.

00:16:15.860 That's their euphemistic way

00:16:17.240 of saying it's

00:16:18.080 done by people like

00:16:19.140 Louis Farrakhan.

00:16:20.020 Here, let me quote

00:16:20.640 from the story.

00:16:21.260 During the past 22 months,

00:16:23.580 not one person

00:16:24.780 caught or identified

00:16:25.860 as the aggressor

00:16:26.840 in an anti-Semitic hate crime

00:16:28.480 has been associated

00:16:29.900 with the far right-wing group,

00:16:31.900 Mark Molinari,

00:16:32.860 commanding officer

00:16:33.740 of the police department's

00:16:35.160 hate crimes task force,

00:16:36.580 told me.

00:16:38.300 I'm surprised

00:16:39.420 that the Times

00:16:40.060 even published that.

00:16:42.600 So why did this happen?

00:16:46.140 Since when did the left,

00:16:48.460 the civil rights left,

00:16:49.440 the deeply caring left,

00:16:50.260 the tolerant left,

00:16:50.780 when did they stop

00:16:51.780 caring about anti-Semitism

00:16:52.900 except to use

00:16:54.760 as a political weapon

00:16:55.520 against conservatives?

00:16:56.580 Why don't they care anymore?

00:16:58.640 I think the answer,

00:17:00.760 or at least when the change happened,

00:17:01.960 was 1967.

00:17:04.860 That was the year 0.96

00:17:05.580 of the Six-Day War

00:17:06.440 when the tiny new state of Israel,

00:17:08.500 not even 20 years old,

00:17:10.020 smashed the combined armies

00:17:11.640 of several Arab states

00:17:13.120 that had vowed

00:17:14.120 to wipe it off the map together

00:17:15.320 and drive the Jews 1.00

00:17:16.580 into the sea

00:17:17.320 and finish the job

00:17:18.480 that Hitler started. 0.95

00:17:19.540 Israel decided to live 1.00

00:17:20.760 instead,

00:17:21.620 decided that the Jewish people

00:17:22.800 had been victims

00:17:23.520 for long enough,

00:17:24.320 and so they won.

00:17:25.360 And so they were no longer

00:17:26.300 the underdog.

00:17:27.440 And so the left

00:17:28.640 didn't really like them anymore.

00:17:30.360 The left likes Jews 1.00

00:17:31.420 who are helpless.

00:17:32.480 It's the same about America. 0.74

00:17:33.860 For about 10 minutes

00:17:34.840 right after 9-11,

00:17:36.040 the whole world

00:17:36.760 sympathized with America

00:17:37.740 because America

00:17:38.420 was hurt and bleeding

00:17:39.680 and a victim,

00:17:40.580 which it almost never is.

00:17:42.180 But when America

00:17:42.960 finally fought back,

00:17:43.840 the establishment,

00:17:44.640 the liberals,

00:17:45.620 the media,

00:17:45.980 the world's NGOs,

00:17:47.020 the UN,

00:17:47.460 they all hated America again.

00:17:50.340 It's cultural Marxism

00:17:51.340 in a way.

00:17:52.140 The left likes underdogs

00:17:53.380 and Jews refuse 1.00

00:17:54.640 to play the role

00:17:55.380 of victim these days,

00:17:56.360 so the left has traded up.

00:17:59.180 They're now casting

00:18:00.020 Palestinians

00:18:00.760 as the victims of Jews.

00:18:03.860 Now, Palestinians 1.00

00:18:04.360 are victims,

00:18:05.580 but they're victims

00:18:06.900 of their own

00:18:07.320 terrorist leadership,

00:18:09.580 victims of their own

00:18:10.280 dictators,

00:18:11.380 victims of the United Nations

00:18:12.400 itself and that very

00:18:15.000 United Nations agency

00:18:16.840 that Justin Trudeau funds.

00:18:18.520 The Palestinian issue

00:18:19.720 gives new license

00:18:22.000 to the left

00:18:23.160 for them to indulge

00:18:24.420 in age-old anti-Semitism.

00:18:26.320 And the mass migration

00:18:27.220 of Muslims to the West 0.94

00:18:28.120 just makes that indulgence

00:18:29.340 politically valuable too.

00:18:31.000 That's the left

00:18:31.780 these days

00:18:32.340 in the United Kingdom

00:18:33.100 under Jeremy Corbyn,

00:18:34.720 the left in Australia,

00:18:36.720 in the U.S.

00:18:37.380 and in Canada.

00:18:38.280 There are a few Jews

00:18:39.820 left in the Democrat Party,

00:18:41.240 but not too many.

00:18:43.100 There are a few Jews

00:18:44.240 left in Trudeau's liberals,

00:18:45.580 but not too many.

00:18:47.280 None have the profile

00:18:48.120 and the power

00:18:48.640 of Muslim extremists

00:18:49.600 like, say,

00:18:50.400 Ikra Khaled,

00:18:51.540 who wrote the M103

00:18:52.660 anti-Islamophobia motion,

00:18:54.200 or Omar al-Jabra,

00:18:55.660 Trudeau's Muslim lieutenant. 0.96

00:18:58.120 The Toronto attack

00:18:59.300 two days ago

00:18:59.860 is awful,

00:19:00.900 no matter who did it.

00:19:01.920 Thank God

00:19:02.300 no one was seriously hurt,

00:19:03.440 let alone killed.

00:19:04.960 I sort of hope

00:19:06.020 it was a rogue anomaly

00:19:07.700 of a pack of

00:19:09.220 Filipino teenagers

00:19:10.900 who just need

00:19:12.000 a good, harsh disciplining

00:19:13.260 by their own families

00:19:14.440 and communities

00:19:15.400 and churches,

00:19:16.380 which would never

00:19:17.360 count in such behavior.

00:19:18.640 If it was Filipino youths, 1.00

00:19:20.500 I think this will precipitate

00:19:22.060 a large internal reaction

00:19:23.940 from that community

00:19:24.800 that hopefully

00:19:25.880 in the long term

00:19:26.600 will be healthy.

00:19:28.500 Because if it were

00:19:29.380 just a Muslim gang 1.00

00:19:30.380 European style,

00:19:31.520 like happens all the time

00:19:32.700 in places like France,

00:19:34.860 not only would it likely

00:19:35.880 not be condemned

00:19:36.920 by mainstream leadership

00:19:38.720 in their own community,

00:19:39.580 but it would be winked at

00:19:40.720 by Justin Trudeau too,

00:19:42.680 who might even offer

00:19:44.460 compensation to the gang members

00:19:46.420 and say they have

00:19:47.820 an important voice

00:19:49.000 here in Canada.

00:19:51.360 Stay with us,

00:19:52.120 more ahead.

00:19:52.480 占 manten tech

00:20:12.920 That's hot.

00:20:13.660 That's hot.

00:20:14.540 Wow.

00:20:15.480 Wow.

00:20:16.140 Wow.

00:20:17.160 Wow.

00:20:17.500 Wow.

00:20:18.240 Wow.

00:20:22.300 That is terrifying footage of a terrorist attack on southern Israel,

00:20:43.020 unfortunately a common occurrence.

00:20:45.540 The attack comes from the terrorist enclave of Gaza

00:20:48.480 that was unilaterally given to the Hamas terrorist group by Israel in an attempt at peace.

00:20:54.640 As you can see, there is no peace to be found.

00:20:57.080 Besides those attacks, there was a passenger bus, a civilian bus, hit by one such attack.

00:21:03.340 One man is critically injured.

00:21:05.880 As you can say, it's so obvious I don't even need to point it out.

00:21:08.640 These attacks are directed at civilians, not the Israeli military.

00:21:12.620 Well, one man who lives literally within reach of such terrorism is our next guest.

00:21:18.860 His name is Yisai Fleischer, and he's the international spokesman for the Jewish community of Hebron,

00:21:25.740 and he's affiliated with HebronFund.org.

00:21:29.340 He joins me in our Toronto office.

00:21:31.780 Great to see you. Welcome to Canada.

00:21:33.400 Great to be on The Rebel.

00:21:34.340 Well, thank you for being here.

00:21:36.100 And we, of course, hung out with you a little bit when we had our trip to Israel.

00:21:40.480 You were kind enough to give a tour to Katie Hopkins of different places in Hebron,

00:21:45.260 including a terrible place where a child was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist sniper.

00:21:52.740 Yeah, you know what?

00:21:53.620 Jihadism is a prevalent ideology in our region.

00:21:57.660 Israel is not really different than the rest of the Middle East.

00:22:00.540 Jihadism has taken root in the consciousness of many Arabs and Muslims, sadly.

00:22:06.020 And we push back on that.

00:22:07.380 We've existed in that city for 3,800 years.

00:22:10.500 We're an indigenous people in that city.

00:22:12.700 And today it's being claimed that we're somehow foreigners or occupiers.

00:22:15.940 We're pushing back on that narrative and making sure that we continue to exist where we've always lived,

00:22:21.100 next to the tombs of our fathers and mothers in Hebron.

00:22:23.880 You're a very articulate spokesman for Hebron and the Jewish fact there.

00:22:29.160 I like your allusion to being the indigenous people of the land.

00:22:32.220 And that is a very powerful way of phrasing it.

00:22:34.600 But you don't just talk about it.

00:22:36.020 You live there.

00:22:37.240 You are living the fact.

00:22:39.900 Tell our viewers in Canada a little bit about what daily life is like when you're living really in a Jewish enclave, 0.95

00:22:46.720 surrounded by a population that is at best passive, but at worst actively hoping and working for your death.

00:22:54.680 First thing, I want to say that not every Arab that lives in Hebron wants to destroy the Jewish people or Israel or the Jewish community in Hebron.

00:23:01.880 There are many, many decent Arabs and tolerant Arabs, but their voices are subjugated, are pushed down,

00:23:07.800 because the violent folks, the extremist folks, the jihadists, their first enemy is decent and tolerant Arabs.

00:23:15.220 They want to shut down those voices.

00:23:17.160 And we've had many experiences of Arabs who speak out saying,

00:23:19.920 hey, wait a minute, our cousins have every right to be here.

00:23:22.500 It's a good country, Israel.

00:23:23.640 For instance, that's what Muslims call Jews.

00:23:25.600 That's right.

00:23:25.940 That's what you think of each other at the end of the day.

00:23:28.280 Some Muslims call some Jews.

00:23:29.840 That's right.

00:23:29.860 And some Jews, I suppose that's going to the Abrahamic religion. 0.85

00:23:36.420 That's right.

00:23:37.400 I mean, ostensibly, we are a Semitic grouping of people.

00:23:40.420 We have a similar language, similar DNA.

00:23:42.640 But anyway, my point is that many Arabs that want to say that and think that way are repressed by that very same jihad that wants to destroy us. 0.61

00:23:49.520 But with regard to your question, the Jews that live in Hebron are a committed sort.

00:23:54.240 Okay.

00:23:54.440 They are folks that want to make sure to continue to live in that town and to assert our rights.

00:24:00.180 And maybe, you know, instead of the peace dialogue, we're really, it's a rights dialogue.

00:24:04.860 We have rights to live in the city.

00:24:06.300 We're not going to be bullied around.

00:24:07.580 I think that's what the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel and Zionism is in part also about, which is, you're not going to push me around anymore.

00:24:14.240 I'm going to be able to defend myself.

00:24:16.080 And there are really two kinds of minorities in the Middle East, armed and unarmed.

00:24:20.520 Okay.

00:24:20.880 So Yazidis, Copts, Christians, they're on the run because they're unarmed. 0.99

00:24:25.080 But the Kurds, with their Peshmerga, push back on the jihad.

00:24:28.400 They're Muslim, by the way, but they push back on the jihad.

00:24:30.620 So too, the Jews, a Semitic minority in our region, push back on the jihad and exist.

00:24:34.680 Yeah.

00:24:35.320 You know, I want to go back to one thing you mentioned in passing, but it's actually quite interesting.

00:24:40.040 For years, the Palestinian Arabs, some Christian, mainly Muslim, were amongst the best educated, the most economically successful Arabs in the region.

00:24:50.620 But when Yasser Arafat was brought back and given his fiefdom, he eradicated the intellectual class, the critics, the professors, the free thinkers.

00:25:01.480 He drove them out.

00:25:02.440 And now Hamas is even driving out the PLO type.

00:25:06.800 So you're so right that whatever little seedlings there were of hope for a democratic civil society in Palestine were wiped out first by Arafat and now by Hamas. 0.76

00:25:17.860 Absolutely.

00:25:18.520 The jihad is intolerant of other kinds of Muslims or other kinds of Arabs.

00:25:23.420 They're the first to go on the chopping block.

00:25:25.000 And we have many examples of this.

00:25:25.980 Right now, in eastern Jerusalem, there are riots, jihadist riots, against anybody who's suspected of selling property to Jews.

00:25:34.380 Selling their own property.

00:25:35.440 Selling their own property for a great profit.

00:25:37.640 But that's illegal.

00:25:38.680 That warrants the death penalty in the Palestinian Authority because they are a jihadist entity trying to destroy Israel. 0.98

00:25:44.340 So anybody who's making any kind of separate peace or any kind of understanding with the Jews, anybody who thinks, you know what, darn it, you know, Israel is actually a good country. 1.00

00:25:53.020 And it's great to live in Israel or next to Israel and benefit from its economic matrix.

00:25:57.740 Anybody who thinks that way, which is the most reasonable thought, is persecuted.

00:26:01.440 Now, we connected with you when we were in Israel last summer.

00:26:06.660 What are you doing in North America now?

00:26:08.540 You're in Toronto.

00:26:09.720 You told me before we turned the cameras on that you're traveling a little bit around.

00:26:12.480 What's your mission over here?

00:26:14.220 What exactly does the Hebron Fund do?

00:26:18.100 And what is your mission as the spokesman for the Jewish community in Hebron?

00:26:21.920 Okay, first thing, the job of the Jewish community of Hebron is to exist there and to protect the tombs of the forefathers and mothers.

00:26:29.760 The tomb of the patriarchs to ensure access to it and freedom, okay, to this place of worship.

00:26:34.780 Because if it came under Palestinian authority hands, like the tomb of Joseph in Nablus in Shechem, we would lose all access to it.

00:26:41.280 So we don't want that.

00:26:42.440 So our community continues to hold on strong.

00:26:44.940 So somebody has to make sure that our community is funded, its defense apparatus, its beautification apparatus.

00:26:51.720 We have a lot of tourism that we bring in, but we make sure to bring people in armored buses and we make sure that there's beautiful concerts.

00:26:58.060 So we do a lot to draw people in and overcome that fear factor.

00:27:02.400 And we're also doing a lot in order to counter the anti-Israel narrative, which a lot of times is focused on Hebron, you know, making it out to be that our community is violent or hateful or insightful.

00:27:14.360 When in fact, it's a peace-loving community that wants to exist.

00:27:17.220 Yes, it wants to push back on the jihad, okay, in order to exist and to survive and to give our community its fair shake in terms of information.

00:27:28.560 And the other thing is to work against actively the two-state solution, which was a bad way of thinking of the past, which is that we should give away chunks of land in the hopes of getting peace.

00:27:39.500 Today in Israel, it's especially after Gaza, but after what we're seeing now in the news, Israelis are tired of the idea of giving away land and then creating a forward base for the jihad.

00:27:49.460 That's not the way to move forward, we believe.

00:27:51.220 It's to hold on to the land.

00:27:52.760 It's to give as much decencies and rights and liberties to people, Arabs and others, that will not endanger our state.

00:27:59.580 But it's to really hold on.

00:28:00.680 And that's really the way of the Middle East. 0.98

00:28:02.160 Draw those lines.

00:28:02.820 You know, would you say it's accurate that there was so much hope and that the left in Israel bet everything on the peace deal?

00:28:13.420 And when Hamas and others took it and laughed and launched the attack, that really discredited the left-wing hope for peace, peace now. 0.62

00:28:22.260 All these doves who thought, oh, they're just like us.

00:28:25.040 We can do a deal with them just the same way, you know, Canada and the United States can negotiate a trade deal.

00:28:30.080 We can negotiate as trustworthy, good faith.

00:28:32.720 Like, it seems to me that there was so much hope.

00:28:35.740 Everyone bet everything.

00:28:37.180 It blew up.

00:28:38.080 And there really isn't a peace now left of any size in Israel other than in the media.

00:28:42.320 Is that right?

00:28:43.080 I'm always telling the Israeli left there are many good issues that you should be on, environment, education, equalities, economic equalities.

00:28:51.760 There's many good issues.

00:28:52.640 But on the issue of security, of giving away land, that's simply not the Middle East code.

00:28:57.300 I think it's discredited.

00:28:58.420 It's discredited.

00:28:59.020 It's politically discredited today.

00:29:01.880 And that's why Israel is shifting to the right, because the left has had their turn.

00:29:05.940 They have fully aired it out.

00:29:07.580 They have tested it now in land giveaways, in the Sinai, in South Lebanon, in Gaza, in the West Bank, Judea and Samaria.

00:29:14.840 And so that is, you know, it's over.

00:29:18.720 And in the era of ISIS, it's even tough.

00:29:21.780 ISIS is just hyper-jihadism.

00:29:23.820 We have it in many different forms.

00:29:25.840 And I have to say that before you go to ISIS, the PA itself is an inciting jihadist and corrupt regime.

00:29:31.180 Yeah, the Palestinian Authority.

00:29:32.160 Let me ask you this.

00:29:32.980 I went to campus, I went to university in Canada 25 years ago now.

00:29:38.680 And I could see the roots of anti-Israel extremism, even though the Muslim population on campus then was much smaller.

00:29:46.860 And in fact, it was largely exchange students.

00:29:49.020 I remember some exchange students from Syria who really took one course just to say they were students.

00:29:56.940 But full-time, they were anti-Israel agitators.

00:30:00.480 And I always thought that was a bit of a trick to call yourself a student.

00:30:04.020 You're really a professional, foreign-funded activist.

00:30:07.980 I saw that 25 years ago when there was just a few hundred of them on campus.

00:30:11.940 Now, I find that campuses across Canada, and it's just as bad in the States, and it's worse in the United Kingdom, are crucibles of anti-Israel extremism, anti-Semitism, and even pro-jihad activism.

00:30:27.100 The idea of BDS, boycotting, divesting, and sanctioning Israel is now a mantra.

00:30:33.840 How do you try to stop this?

00:30:37.760 It was a snowflake that turned into a snowball, turned into an avalanche, is what I'm saying, in the last 25 years.

00:30:42.900 How do you make a dent in that in North America?

00:30:45.440 Well, Ezra, I think that first thing, we have to analyze the war tactic.

00:30:50.340 And there's something out there called weaponized narrative.

00:30:52.680 In the absence of the ability to wipe Israel off the map militarily, with six Arab armies conjoining and trying to attack Israel in one fell swoop and get rid of it physically, that has been an abject failure. 0.96

00:31:07.960 And the jihad and others of their ilk sat back down at the drawing board and were like, okay, killing the Jews in one shot doesn't work.

00:31:15.700 What are we going to do?

00:31:16.480 And they've gone towards a kind of Soviet mode of delegitimization and to undermine the Israeli society and undermine support for Israeli society, for Israel around the world.

00:31:31.420 And this campus movement that you're talking about, so are we ahead of the war effort of the Palestinians and the jihad?

00:31:36.880 Yes, physically we're way ahead of them in terms of jets, you know, all those abilities.

00:31:42.260 But in terms of the narrative war, the weaponized narrative, they're ahead of us.

00:31:45.720 They were ahead of us a long time ago.

00:31:46.960 They realized that the old war is not going to work.

00:31:49.760 And how do we head it off for the past?

00:31:52.100 Things like rebel media, okay, it rebels, it puts a fight back into it.

00:31:58.020 Our fight against UNESCO, UNESCO is the legitimate arm of the jihad in that it tries to say, oh, the Jews have no rights to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, to the tomb of Rachel in Bethlehem, to the tombs of the patriarchs in Hebron.

00:32:11.780 Okay, so we push back on them.

00:32:13.260 It ended in that the Trump administration left UNESCO specifically because of their anti-Hebron vote, meaning to say there was an anti-Jewish narrative, a history erasure narrative, and we, and then media organizations like yourselves.

00:32:28.260 And then the Trump administration got behind and pushed back on that fake narrative, fake history.

00:32:33.240 That's what the president, prime minister Netanyahu called it at the UN.

00:32:36.200 He called it fake history.

00:32:37.020 So the first thing right now, I think, is for everybody to do like a shake it out, like wake up.

00:32:44.140 This is the war we're fighting, the narrative war.

00:32:46.540 And I say this to Jewish organizations as well that don't understand that if somebody says, you stole my land, and you say, well, but we invented the cell phone, that is not an answer.

00:32:56.660 We got to have a tough answer that says we have every right to this land.

00:32:59.920 We're going to push back on the jihad and be an aggressive narrative warrior instead of a passive one.

00:33:05.300 Huh, very interesting.

00:33:06.840 Well, listen, it's great to have you here in our world headquarters in Toronto.

00:33:10.340 It was nice to hang out with you a little bit when we were in Israel.

00:33:13.620 I wish you good luck on the rest of your tour.

00:33:15.100 Folks, if you want to learn more, we've been speaking with Yishai Fleischer.

00:33:18.140 He's a spokesman for the Jewish community of Hebron, and you can go to his website, hebronfund.org.

00:33:25.860 Stay with us.

00:33:26.620 More Ahead on the Rebel.

00:33:29.920 Hey, welcome back.

00:33:41.060 On my monologue yesterday about the plight of Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian woman, Betty writes,

00:33:47.560 I hope that Asia Bibi does not come to Canada. 1.00

00:33:49.840 If Canada institutes blasphemy laws because of M103, she will be no further ahead than when she was in Pakistan. 0.92

00:33:55.800 Well, obviously, it's not that bad, and it wouldn't be that bad.

00:34:02.580 I don't think we would put someone in solitary confinement for eight or ten years for criticizing Islam.

00:34:08.240 We're not that far gone.

00:34:09.500 But, look, if there's an anti-Islamophobia law on the books, some wacko will try to use it. 0.97

00:34:17.940 That's what happened to me a dozen years ago, published the Danish cartoons of Mohammed. 0.62

00:34:22.700 Some wacko, some Pakistani imam named Syed Soharwardy said, oh, this law's right here.

00:34:31.900 I hate Jews. 1.00

00:34:33.280 I hate Levant.

00:34:34.380 He published a cartoon of Mohammed.

00:34:36.520 I'm going to take a run at him.

00:34:38.360 You know, the law was there, so some freak from Pakistan used it. 1.00

00:34:41.660 Barb writes, there is no truth or honor in the heart of the liberal leader,

00:34:46.700 and it is strictly virtue signaling when he speaks of asylum for Asia Bibi.

00:34:53.200 Yeah, listen, Justin Trudeau shut down the primarily Christian private refugee sponsorship

00:35:00.940 in favor of government-funded, almost exclusively, Muslim refugee sponsorship.

00:35:07.760 Justin Trudeau called the special program for Christians who were being picked on,

00:35:13.080 he called it disgusting in the 2015 election.

00:35:16.840 Don't pretend that Justin Trudeau cares about Asia Bibi.

00:35:20.300 Listen, I hope I'm wrong on that.

00:35:22.040 I hope I'm wrong.

00:35:23.180 I don't think I am.

00:35:24.980 Robert writes, Macron's statement on nationalism is completely nonsensical.

00:35:29.460 It is classic Trudeau-esque word salad.

00:35:32.120 Yeah, you're so right.

00:35:33.240 I mean, I like words, and sometimes I look, well, you know, nation,

00:35:38.280 it comes from the same root as to be born, and patriotism, it comes from father.

00:35:44.380 Well, fathers and sons are being born, and motherland.

00:35:47.300 These are all terms that, if they're not interchangeable, are all so related.

00:35:52.260 And as a lot of folks pointed out, even Trump, Trump was right on this this morning.

00:35:56.320 He was tweeting about this early in the morning.

00:35:58.140 He was saying that few countries are as proud and patriotic and nationalist as France itself.

00:36:04.660 It's absurd to say France is not national.

00:36:06.900 You know what?

00:36:07.540 Someone tweeted this, and so I checked it out for myself,

00:36:10.140 because I'm always skeptical of what I see on Twitter.

00:36:12.380 Someone quoted a translation of the Marseillaise, if I'm saying that right,

00:36:15.680 the French anthem.

00:36:17.360 And there is a line in that French anthem about soaking the French soil

00:36:23.340 with the impure blood of French enemies.

00:36:26.600 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's heavy duty.

00:36:32.680 Yeah, don't tell me the French are not nationalists.

00:36:35.640 Yeah, I think it's exactly right.

00:36:39.020 Word salad, baffle gab.

00:36:41.140 He and Justin Trudeau are peas in a pod in that regard.

00:36:45.620 You know what?

00:36:46.100 I saw how Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron gazed lovingly upon each other

00:36:51.860 and united in their despise for Donald Trump.

00:36:57.120 I should tell you that according to the latest poll that I've seen,

00:37:01.340 Emmanuel Macron is disapproved of, disliked, by 71% of French voters.

00:37:11.100 He is hated.

00:37:13.140 Last I checked, Justin Trudeau was at 41% popularity.

00:37:18.420 Last I checked, Donald Trump was at 49%.

00:37:20.960 So if you add up Emmanuel Macron's popularity and Justin Trudeau's popularity,

00:37:27.100 you just barely get to Trump's popularity.

00:37:30.260 You wouldn't think so, judging by the loving media coverage, would you?

00:37:34.620 Well, that's our show for today.

00:37:36.480 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,

00:37:39.880 good night.

00:37:40.920 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:37:41.820 Keep fighting for freedom.
