Rebel News Podcast - An Islamic State supporter preaches hatred in Edmonton — and mainstream media isn't interested

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I want to show you something that, as far as I can tell, has not

00:00:04.440 been reported by any media, any newspaper, any TV, radio station in Canada, other than

00:00:09.760 one small reference in a Jewish newspaper out of Toronto. It's about a hate preacher

00:00:15.460 in Edmonton, but because he's not an alt-right Christian KKK hate preacher, because he's

00:00:24.280 a Muslim man from Egypt preaching in Arabic, I don't think that the mainstream media cares.

00:00:29.460 In fact, I think they actually care to silence the news on it. Here, I'll give you my evidence,

00:00:34.480 and I'll let you decide. Before I do, may I encourage you to become a video subscriber

00:00:40.640 to The Rebel 2, to buy a premium membership. It's easy. Just go to therebel.media slash

00:00:45.380 shows, and it's $8, and you just type in a coupon code podcast, and you can get a discount.

00:00:53.700 That's $8 a month. You can get the whole year for $80, or it's even less with the coupon code.

00:00:58.820 And the reason I would put to you to do that is so you can get the video version, too.

00:01:04.200 I'm going to show you at least four video clips of this Edmonton hate preacher, and sure,

00:01:10.880 you can listen to the audio. Good idea. But you've got to see this guy.

00:01:15.560 All right, without further ado, here's the show.

00:01:18.660 You're listening to a Rebel Media podcast.

00:01:21.840 Tonight, an Islamic State supporter continues to preach hatred at Edmonton without a peep of

00:01:27.180 interest from the mainstream media. It's August 8th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:33.720 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:37.440 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:41.500 The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher,

00:01:45.100 is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:47.380 The law of supply and demand. There is a huge demand from the media party for any hate crimes.

00:01:58.600 It's why there's so many fakes. There just aren't enough real hate crimes in our wonderful,

00:02:02.920 positive, harmonious society to suit the appetite of the media who want controversy and conflict.

00:02:07.760 I'm not saying we're perfect, but it's pretty good here in Canada.

00:02:11.680 In America, too, that's what's so gross about fake hate crimes, hate crime hoaxes,

00:02:19.020 like that absurd claim. Remember that one from that millionaire actor Jussie Smollett,

00:02:23.820 who said he was attacked at 3 a.m. in Chicago by a bunch of rednecks wearing Trump hats,

00:02:30.240 saying, this is Trump country, who just happened to be carrying a noose and bleach

00:02:35.760 when they happened to bump into him outside of Subway sandwiches at 3 a.m.,

00:02:40.380 where, thankfully, Jussie was able to fight them both off,

00:02:43.520 and he didn't even drop his Subway sandwich doing so.

00:02:46.900 I mean, I've got to say, that was such an obvious, weird, fake hoax. 0.99

00:02:51.100 You had to be a journalist to be dumb enough to believe it, 0.98

00:02:54.100 because they wanted to believe it. 1.00

00:02:56.460 They want to believe that America is a racist country because of Donald Trump.

00:03:00.220 Now, we've got plenty of racism hoaxes in Canada, too, as you know.

00:03:03.460 Remember that 11-year-old girl, Kala Noman, who claimed that,

00:03:08.180 it's just, I can't even say without giggling, it's not funny, but it's just absurd.

00:03:12.460 Remember she said that a Chinese man walked up to her as she was going to school,

00:03:15.700 and without saying a word, this Chinese guy apparently took out a pair of scissors

00:03:18.640 and started cutting her hijab, and then he ran away,

00:03:22.180 but then he came back again to do the scissor thing again.

00:03:24.860 He ran away again, and no one else saw him.

00:03:26.880 But it happened, she promises, and lucky for her, she wasn't cut by the scissors,

00:03:31.980 and that Asian man just happened to have those scissors on him.

00:03:35.520 I mean, just the whole thing.

00:03:37.480 So obviously, a fake, it was so weird.

00:03:40.320 Police said as much a few days later, but in the meantime, look, all the politicians,

00:03:44.200 they actually still have their tweets up condemning the hate crime hoax that never happened.

00:03:48.380 But they're not going to take those tweets down.

00:03:49.940 They needed them.

00:03:50.620 And like I say, they really, really need hate crimes to happen to justify their whole political belief,

00:03:58.220 to justify calling Canadians racist, to justify censorship of conservative voices,

00:04:03.020 to demonize their enemies.

00:04:04.340 So high is the leftist demand for hate crimes that they will either fake hate crimes or believe hate crimes,

00:04:11.840 and even once a hate crime is debunked, they'll keep referring to it as proof.

00:04:16.280 But of course they only do this when the hate crime fits a certain narrative. 0.91

00:04:19.720 A white racist, usually a visible minority victim, ideally a Muslim victim.

00:04:25.460 So if there's a hate crime outside of that blueprint, they don't just ignore it. 0.96

00:04:29.780 They hide it.

00:04:30.880 They even try to debunk it.

00:04:32.620 American example, there is a wave of hate crimes in New York City against Jews in New York.

00:04:38.420 It's hard to believe, especially Orthodox Jews who can be spotted by their Yarmulkes, 1.00

00:04:43.060 those little skull caps they wear.

00:04:44.140 So these are not hate crime hoaxes.

00:04:46.760 They're real.

00:04:48.020 They're all caught on closed-circuit TV, and I'm sorry to say it, they all have one thing in common.

00:04:54.520 Facts are facts, I'll just say it. 0.70

00:04:56.280 The victims are Orthodox Jews, and all the attackers are young black men.

00:05:02.420 It's not alt-right, you know, KKKers. 0.99

00:05:07.220 It's black men. 0.90

00:05:09.380 I'm sorry, it's just a fact.

00:05:10.260 So the media hate covering it.

00:05:12.160 It's a crime wave.

00:05:13.220 It's racist.

00:05:14.040 It's a hate crime wave. 0.99

00:05:15.620 But, I mean, these guys are only being attacked because they're Jews, but because the attackers are black, 0.95

00:05:20.740 it doesn't fit the narrative. 0.87

00:05:22.120 So down the memory hole it goes.

00:05:24.040 Which brings us to our story today.

00:05:26.840 In Edmonton, there's a hate preacher.

00:05:30.100 There's a lot of hate in Edmonton, so we're told.

00:05:32.380 I mean, do you remember a while back when some white supremacists kept delivering racist pamphlets to mailboxes around Edmonton?

00:05:38.980 There was a national panic about it in the media. 0.96

00:05:40.960 Those racist Albertans.

00:05:41.980 Oh, everyone loved the narrative, except, you know, these days a lot of people have that little closed-circuit camera on their property,

00:05:48.740 those little doorbell cameras.

00:05:50.140 Ring is one brand name.

00:05:52.220 And so when this white supremacist was delivering his white supremacist pamphlets, one day he was caught on tape.

00:05:58.520 Finally, we got him. 0.98

00:06:00.260 And he was black. 0.99

00:06:02.620 A black man was perpetrating a hoax, a hate crime hoax. 1.00

00:06:06.560 He was handing out white supremacists. 1.00

00:06:08.440 Literally, he was black. 0.62

00:06:09.380 He was never caught, as far as I know.

00:06:12.840 But why would he do it?

00:06:13.760 Well, because demand exceeds supply.

00:06:15.320 Somebody wanted the narrative that there was white supremacy in Edmonton, 0.50

00:06:20.260 and they were so desperate before they hired a black man to do it. 0.72

00:06:24.240 So who is the hate preacher in Edmonton I'm talking about today? 0.97

00:06:26.640 Is it some white nationalist, some Donald Trump-supporting racist, some alt-right gang, 0.72

00:06:30.820 some guy who would go after Jussie Smollett? 0.94

00:06:33.740 No, no.

00:06:34.980 It's a Muslim man from Egypt.

00:06:37.020 For some reason, we let him into Canada.

00:06:39.440 And he preaches in Arabic.

00:06:42.400 His name is Shaban Sharif Mady. 0.95

00:06:44.960 And he preaches violence against, obviously, Jews, Christians, obviously. 0.54

00:06:50.580 He preaches in support of the Islamic State, which is a bit weird. 0.98

00:06:54.220 I think he's a one-man hate machine.

00:06:55.680 That's my opinion, based on the videos I've seen of him.

00:06:58.100 I mean, look, let's be candid.

00:06:59.580 If you've ever read the Koran, it's a pretty bloody document. 1.00

00:07:02.880 Lots of massacres, lots of killing of infidels in that book. 0.99

00:07:06.180 But in fairness, there's some tough talk in the Bible, too.

00:07:09.560 I guess in the year 2019, we don't actually have Christian or Jewish clergy quoting literally

00:07:15.140 Deuteronomy 21, verse 18, which says,

00:07:18.320 If there's a stubborn and rebellious son, he's to be stoned to death by the men of the city.

00:07:22.120 You don't see a lot of let's-go-stone-rebellious kids talk at church on a Sunday sermon.

00:07:29.580 I'm acknowledging there are some tough passages in the Bible, too.

00:07:32.480 But holy guacamole, does this Edmonton Muslim preacher go with the full literal Koran. 0.97

00:07:39.720 Here, I want to show you a few clips from this guy.

00:07:42.860 Now, I've been following him since 2015.

00:07:45.720 It's four years ago now.

00:07:47.020 This is a video I did back at the Sun News Network, so you know it's been a while.

00:07:51.000 I'm going to show you a few clips from my reportage at the Sun.

00:07:54.940 So first off, he's all about the Islamic State.

00:07:59.020 Seriously.

00:07:59.960 Well, let's play four clips.

00:08:01.580 Now, these are clips, as you say, you've watched a lot of his sermons.

00:08:04.820 They're in Arabic.

00:08:06.500 You're fluent in Arabic.

00:08:07.880 That's his native language from Egypt.

00:08:09.920 And that's what he's telling new Canadians who speak Arabic.

00:08:12.460 Let's watch the first one, where he talks about the caliphate.

00:08:15.940 That's another way of saying the Islamic State.

00:08:18.460 And then, talking about his support for the Islamists.

00:08:23.460 And then, talking about his support for the Islamic State, and for the jihad, he just comes right out and says it.

00:08:28.940 And then, talking about his support for the Islamic State, and for the jihad, he just comes right out and says it.

00:08:53.720 لمَّاَدَятьَهُ مِنْ

00:09:02.840 All right, here's one more.

00:09:17.580 And this was all from my Sun News show five years ago.

00:09:20.100 So this guy, four and a half years ago, he's no secret.

00:09:23.120 Take a look.

00:09:29.160 So we've got a preacher in Edmonton, obviously a foreigner from Egypt,

00:09:32.560 preaching mainly in Arabic to other newcomers who still speak Arabic.

00:09:36.460 Is he preaching harmony to these newcomers?

00:09:38.720 Is he preaching love for Canada and respect for Canadian laws?

00:09:42.160 Is he preaching to his flock of newcomers to integrate and become friends

00:09:46.140 with Christians and Jews and other Canadians?

00:09:48.960 He is not.

00:09:50.500 He's praising the jihad. 0.90

00:09:51.780 He boasts about how, just like the Christian city of Constantinople fell to the Muslims,

00:09:56.480 so too will the Vatican in Rome and presumably us here in Canada too.

00:10:01.360 But look at this news I saw just yesterday.

00:10:05.740 Imam ousted from community center in Edmonton.

00:10:08.820 Imam in Canadian city prevented from leading prayers after B'nai B'rith Canada draws attention

00:10:13.040 to his hateful rhetoric.

00:10:14.600 Well, that sounds dramatic, but it's not quite accurate.

00:10:18.280 He just can't use a public community center anymore.

00:10:21.400 That headline sounds like maybe his own flock has rejected him,

00:10:24.680 or maybe he's been banned from Canada.

00:10:26.140 Yeah, no, nothing can be further from the truth.

00:10:29.080 They love his hate.

00:10:30.580 Here, let me read a little bit from this story.

00:10:33.580 An Edmonton imam has been prevented from leading prayers at a local community center

00:10:37.800 after B'nai B'rith Canada drew attention to his hateful rhetoric from the pulpit and online.

00:10:42.560 The organization said in a statement on Tuesday,

00:10:45.840 Sheik Shaban Sharif Mehdi, who says he was licensed by the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Egypt,

00:10:52.000 told congregants in March that international Zionism was behind the Islamic State,

00:10:56.860 the recent terrorist attack on two mosques in New Zealand, and all terrorism. 0.99

00:11:02.200 It's those pesky Jews. 1.00

00:11:03.920 He followed this up with another sermon in June in which he added, 0.99

00:11:07.080 We know that Jews do not like Islam or the Muslims. 0.98

00:11:09.880 So, let me read a little bit.

00:11:11.480 I just want to read a little bit more from the article. 0.99

00:11:14.580 In 2014, he shared a post predicting that on Judgment Day, the Muslims will kill the Jews. 0.81

00:11:20.280 And in 2018, he stated that the mission of the Muslim Brotherhood, 0.92

00:11:23.680 to expel the Jews and restore the Al-Aqsa Mosque, has not ended.

00:11:27.720 The post is notable because Mehdi identifies himself as a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:11:32.960 But in 2016, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute,

00:11:38.000 he asserted that Jerusalem will only be regained through blood,

00:11:41.600 and falsely described Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as a Jewish Zionist.

00:11:47.460 All right, I'll stop there for a sec.

00:11:48.820 So, obviously, this guy is a total conspiracy theorist.

00:11:52.460 Imagine calling the Muslim Arab President of Egypt, which is the most populous Arab country.

00:11:58.860 Imagine calling him a Jew.

00:11:59.740 Imagine saying that ISIS was Jewish.

00:12:03.520 But you saw him earlier praising the Islamic State back in, I think that was 2015. 0.99

00:12:08.540 What a weirdo. 0.99

00:12:09.160 Weirdo, but a hater. 1.00

00:12:10.120 He wants to expel the Jews. 1.00

00:12:12.220 He wants to support jihadists. 0.98

00:12:14.820 But let me point out the obvious.

00:12:17.120 I haven't been quoting from the Edmonton Journal.

00:12:20.320 In fact, I searched every single Canadian newspaper for the name Shaban Sharif Mehdi.

00:12:25.020 Every single newspaper, and not one of them has ever reported on him.

00:12:28.160 If you can find an example, please let me know, because I use both the Google News database,

00:12:33.640 but also the proprietary database called newspapers.com.

00:12:37.160 I simply don't think a single Canadian journalist has ever reported about him,

00:12:40.640 except me, of course, back at Sun News, and a couple of Jewish newspapers.

00:12:44.580 But other than that, it's foreign websites like the one I've been reading from.

00:12:47.980 That's weird.

00:12:51.100 There's such a huge appetite for hate crime stories.

00:12:54.400 It's so huge.

00:12:55.260 People commit hoaxes to supply the demand.

00:12:58.000 And even when the hoaxes are revealed, the demand is still so high,

00:13:01.080 those hoaxes are still held up as truthy facts.

00:13:03.620 I showed you all those tweets about the hijab hoax. 0.98

00:13:06.100 They're still up there.

00:13:06.640 But here's an Edmonton imam praising the jihad, praising jihadists,

00:13:11.940 praising the Islamic State, praising the destruction of Christianity and Christian churches, 0.90

00:13:16.320 calling for the destruction of Jews and synagogues, and nothing. 0.98

00:13:19.860 You can hear a pin drop. 0.98

00:13:20.900 Nothing from the Canadian media.

00:13:23.440 I mean, I guess the community center booted him out or something.

00:13:27.520 But where's the Edmonton Journal even to talk about it?

00:13:29.980 Where's Justin Trudeau?

00:13:31.400 Where's his tweets?

00:13:32.100 Well, I'll tell you where Justin Trudeau is.

00:13:35.220 He's on the imam's lips.

00:13:37.640 That imam, Shaban Sharif Mehdi, he talks about Trudeau a lot.

00:13:42.780 He loves Trudeau.

00:13:44.960 He praises Trudeau.

00:13:45.980 He calls him the Najashi.

00:13:48.680 What's that?

00:13:50.140 That was a historical figure in northeast Africa, a non-Muslim king,

00:13:53.640 who welcomed Muslim refugees into his country when others didn't.

00:13:58.460 And after a while, those refugees, those Muslim refugees, once they gained their strength,

00:14:03.580 they went back to Saudi Arabia after Muhammad had killed off the Jews. 0.78

00:14:07.940 Here, let me read a little bit about the Najashi from a Muslim scholar in the newspaper Arab News.

00:14:13.400 Then I'll show you what our Edmonton hero has to say.

00:14:17.440 Muslim emigrants returned with Jafar to Medina when the prophet conquered Kiber. 0.73

00:14:23.180 They thanked King Najashi for his good protection and hospitality provided to them.

00:14:27.440 So Jafar was the head of the Muslim refugees who had been protected by the Najashi. 0.97

00:14:33.400 Kiber is where Muhammad killed all the Jews in Saudi Arabia. 0.95

00:14:36.640 So Jafar, the refugee, went back to Saudi Arabia once Muhammad had made it Jew-free. 0.99

00:14:42.200 And King Najashi was the hero of the story for protecting the Muslims and letting them resettle

00:14:46.500 and protecting them from Muhammad's enemies just until they were strong enough 0.97

00:14:49.940 to go back to Saudi Arabia to kill the Jews. 0.97

00:14:52.160 Here, I want you, now that you know who the Najashi was historically, 0.99

00:14:55.380 I want you to listen to two full minutes of this.

00:14:58.720 Listen to our Edmonton preacher.

00:15:00.460 Praise the Najashi of our age, the Christian who's so hospitable to Muslims.

00:15:06.860 Take a listen.

00:15:07.340 Justin Trudeau, I want you to call him today

00:15:11.220 On this edition Michael Reidy

00:15:13.420 He is the best right to temple. 0.52

00:16:55.060 you will find the love,

00:16:57.060 you will find Islam and the religion.

00:16:59.060 Hey, I wonder if that's why Justin Trudeau 0.97

00:17:02.060 doesn't condemn this terrorist-supporting hate monger,

00:17:06.060 because he supports Trudeau.

00:17:08.060 I wonder if that's why the CBC,

00:17:10.060 and the Toronto Star,

00:17:12.060 and the rest of the anti-hate brigade

00:17:14.060 seem just fine with what's going on with this guy in Edmonton,

00:17:18.060 why the Human Rights Commissions aren't really interested,

00:17:21.060 why the whole thing's just, you know, ignored.

00:17:25.060 Well, I'm sure we'll be fine.

00:17:27.060 I mean, it's not like Edmonton has become a hotbed for Islamic terrorism,

00:17:33.060 including attacks right on the city streets, is it?

00:17:38.060 Stay with us for more.

00:17:40.060 Well, I don't think that Justin Trudeau has a coherent foreign policy or diplomatic policy.

00:17:59.060 I think that's fairly obvious by the fact that everything he touches,

00:18:03.060 it's the reverse Midas touch.

00:18:05.060 Everything he touches seems to fall apart from China to India to Saudi Arabia and on.

00:18:11.060 But if you could detect a coherent philosophy, it would be whatever Donald Trump just said,

00:18:18.060 say the opposite and do the opposite.

00:18:20.060 I point out that our open borders policy at Roxham Road was in reaction to Donald Trump bringing in a travel suspension from several Muslim dominated countries.

00:18:32.060 Trudeau had to talk back to Trump and thus he opened our border to bogus refugees. 0.99

00:18:38.060 Same thing with the Palestinian Authority, especially in Gaza that's run by Hamas.

00:18:45.060 Donald Trump lost patience with the Palestinian Authority, with the United Nations agency in charge of Palestinians called UNRWA.

00:18:55.060 Trump and he announced he was cutting American foreign aid.

00:18:59.060 Well, what does Trudeau do?

00:19:01.060 I told you what he does.

00:19:03.060 In exact and opposite reaction to Trump, he says,

00:19:07.060 Hey, hey, we up in here in Canada, we'll throw tens of millions of dollars more.

00:19:12.060 And we don't care about the corruption, let alone the violence.

00:19:15.060 Well, there's more news from this bizarre agency that benefited from Trudeau's hatred of Trump.

00:19:21.060 Let me read to you the headline of a column from Lorne Gunter in the Edmonton Sun.

00:19:25.060 Funding UNRWA, that stands for the United Nations Relief Works Agency, is one of Trudeau's biggest and smuggest blunders.

00:19:33.060 And the author of this piece, Lorne Gunter, joins us now via Skype.

00:19:37.060 Lorne, great to see you again.

00:19:38.060 Good to see you.

00:19:39.060 Tell me a little bit more about UNRWA.

00:19:42.060 I've seen their works with my own eyes, but tell us more about the agency, its funding and the criticism of it.

00:19:50.060 Well, it was set up a couple of years after the Arab countries following the Second World War tried to crush the new state of Israel.

00:20:00.060 And Israel fought back and several hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were sent, not sent, but anyway, they ran off, went into refugee camps. 0.66

00:20:13.060 UNRWA was set up to provide schooling, health care, shelter, and basic necessities, sometimes food if that's needed.

00:20:24.060 And they basically were just a relief agency, like the sorts of people you see, you know, helicoptering in sacks of flour and running hospitals in tents.

00:20:35.060 But it's become an enormous agency.

00:20:37.060 It runs on about a billion and a half dollars Canadian every year.

00:20:42.060 And it has schools, hospitals.

00:20:47.060 It helps fund newspapers, radio and TV stations.

00:20:51.060 And all of that, all of the agencies and organizations that UNRWA helps fund with money from Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, all of the Western countries.

00:21:07.060 Most of those organizations that it helps fund are vehemently anti-Israel and often vehemently anti-Semitic.

00:21:15.060 The schools that UNRWA helps operate in the West Bank, near the Jordan River, in Gaza and other places around Israel, the schools teach that Israel is illegitimate and that it is the duty of Palestinians to push it into the sea.

00:21:34.440 So, you know, they're working against any sort of peaceful resolution in the Middle East.

00:21:42.200 They would say they're not, but their idea at UNRWA of a peaceful resolution would be to eliminate Israel and let the Palestinians take over what is now Israel. 0.55

00:21:51.180 So it's been a rat's nest ideologically for a very, very long time. 0.57

00:21:56.260 Yeah. There's one more thing I'd like to point out.

00:21:58.520 I mean, of course, the state of Israel was founded, the modern state, in 1948, which is more than 70 years ago now.

00:22:05.580 So there's not a lot of refugees from that event left.

00:22:09.860 It's probably maybe 10,000, not...

00:22:12.440 Oh, I wouldn't even think it's that many.

00:22:13.840 I would think a hundred, you know.

00:22:16.060 When I was in Israel a couple of years ago, I saw one of these UNRWA refugee camps, and you have to be told it's a refugee camp because it looks like a neighborhood with apartment buildings and shops.

00:22:28.620 Like, it is permanent because, of course, the people who live there are the children and grandchildren.

00:22:33.800 So it's the only refugee status in the world that I'm aware of where, you know, almost a century later, people who aren't fleeing anything still get to call themselves refugees, still get themselves a special agency.

00:22:48.840 I mean, theoretically, I suppose my great-grandfather was a refugee in 1905 or 1903, and maybe I could still call myself that today.

00:22:57.980 That would be absurd to say that I'm as rooted to Canada as possible.

00:23:01.420 But that's sort of the analogy in Israel and the Palestinian territories, don't you think?

00:23:06.000 And the double absurdity of it would be that, you know, your grandfather fled whatever oppression he was fleeing, and you were still living in the location that he fled to.

00:23:17.540 Right.

00:23:18.040 That no one was taking you back.

00:23:20.160 The thing that is—this is sort of off-topic a little bit, but the thing that always bothers me when we get into discussion of Palestinians in the Middle East and, you know, Israel's alleged oppression of the Palestinians, none of the Arab countries around Israel will take them back either.

00:23:36.720 The Jordanians don't want them. 1.00

00:23:38.200 The Saudis don't want them. 1.00

00:23:39.440 The Egyptians don't want them. 1.00

00:23:40.960 The Egyptians build walls on the other side of the Palestinians to keep them from flooding into Egypt. 0.98

00:23:46.480 So, you know, this is not just some one-way street that the Israelis—in fact, the Israelis do far more for Palestinians than the Arab neighbors.

00:23:56.760 They will take seriously ill Palestinians into Israel for medical care. 0.59

00:24:01.780 They allow complex inspections of Palestinian-bound ships to make sure that what's going there really are necessities and not weapons.

00:24:12.820 They bend over backwards to try and be as accommodating to Palestinians as they can.

00:24:17.900 When I was in Israel with you in 2008, we saw a $3 billion highway system that the Israelis were building just for the Palestinians so they could move from one part of Palestinian territory to another without having to threaten the security of Israel along the way.

00:24:36.260 But they were working very hard to increase the mobility of people in the Palestinian-held territories at great expense to Israel and its taxpayers.

00:24:47.920 I remember that.

00:24:49.160 Thank you for that reminder.

00:24:51.280 Well, listen, we're talking about Anruan.

00:24:54.300 People might be saying, well, why are you talking about that now?

00:24:56.420 Well, there's some amazing news.

00:24:57.560 Can I read one paragraph from your column?

00:24:59.660 Sure.

00:24:59.960 Because I just—I can't improve on the wording here.

00:25:02.320 It's just great.

00:25:02.920 I mean, I shouldn't be laughing because it's sad, but let me read it.

00:25:07.660 Last week, an internal U.N. report on Anruan was leaked to several media outlets.

00:25:13.860 The report outlines how Anruan is rife with nepotism, retaliation against internal critics, racial discrimination, and sexual misconduct.

00:25:21.640 And here's the crazy part.

00:25:22.800 Commissioner Pierre Krauenboulx from Switzerland is alleged to have created a toxic work environment by, among other things, hiring his mistress to be his special advisor and having the organization pay for her to fly around the world in business class with him.

00:25:41.580 And I just thought—and my first thought was, that's insane.

00:25:46.120 My second was, so what's new?

00:25:48.640 That's how the U.N. works everywhere.

00:25:50.380 But my third thought, Lauren, was better that they waste it on being, you know, setting up these love shacks for these horny U.N. bosses than giving it to terrorist textbooks or rockets. 1.00

00:26:01.960 I thought maybe every dollar at Anruan should be spent on mistresses and liquor, you know?

00:26:08.640 But you're absolutely right that this is just the way the U.N. works, right?

00:26:11.520 They hire these pompous Western intellectuals, academics, bureaucrats.

00:26:18.380 They give them these enormous expense accounts.

00:26:21.780 They set them up in apartments in beautiful cities like Paris and Geneva.

00:26:26.180 But Kronboulx, the commissioner general of Anruan, does not live on the West Bank.

00:26:34.240 He lives in Switzerland from where he administers Anruan and flies around at great expense.

00:26:42.620 And, you know, the report said that he created a toxic work environment by hiring his mistress to be a special advisor.

00:26:50.460 I'm thinking he probably created a toxic home environment, too, by hiring his mistress.

00:26:56.480 Mrs. Kronboulx is probably not real keen on finding all this out either.

00:27:00.120 So it's just it's typical of the U.N.

00:27:03.860 It's preachy.

00:27:05.060 It's ineffective.

00:27:06.840 It's biased.

00:27:08.100 And it is an enormous sponge on funds from member nations and the funds, of course, from member nations like Canada, United States come from taxpayers.

00:27:18.520 Well, I mean, let me read the next line in your article.

00:27:21.220 I probably stopped one sentence too soon.

00:27:23.240 And you then said already the Swiss, Dutch and Belgian governments have suspended funding to Anruan.

00:27:30.120 That in itself says a lot.

00:27:31.520 And you're so right on that.

00:27:33.120 But as far as I know, Canada is still shoveling money into this furnace.

00:27:40.540 Nothing will deter Trudeau from his virtue signaling, will it?

00:27:43.600 And, you know, this is another very good example of pomposity and naivete in liberal foreign policy, both at the same time.

00:27:53.260 I mean, they said during the 2015 campaign, of course, that, oh, Stephen Harper's ruined Canada's reputation internationally.

00:28:02.260 We're no longer the honest broker.

00:28:04.440 We don't we don't have the influence we once did because we've withdrawn from a lot of multilateral organizations.

00:28:10.600 You know, we wouldn't have put up with this stuff from Anrua.

00:28:13.960 Well, we'd have pulled our funding, too, if Harper wasn't the you know, if Harper was the prime minister.

00:28:18.980 He pulled it because of the textbooks that were in Anrua schools and the support that Anrua was giving fairly openly to the terrorist group Hamas.

00:28:28.660 And so in 2010, Harper canceled funding to Anrua.

00:28:34.520 And in 2015, with big fanfare, the liberals said, see, we're we're much more interested in in playing both sides and in being fair to both sides.

00:28:44.340 So we're going to give the money back to Anrua.

00:28:46.300 What have they been doing?

00:28:47.240 They've been pumping about 25 million Canadian dollars a year into Anrua, which then enables Anrua to take money that it gets from other sources and very quietly pass it off to Hamas.

00:28:58.660 As money for health care or pass it off to other terrorist organizations as as money for education.

00:29:05.720 And everybody knows that's not you know, they're not funding hospitals and schools with that money.

00:29:11.100 They're using it to fight Israel. 0.94

00:29:13.200 But Anrua maintains this facade, this this play acting that somehow, you know, our money is not indirectly going to fund terrorism.

00:29:23.340 But it is.

00:29:24.140 Yeah.

00:29:24.280 Well, it's it's a joke, but it's an unfunny joke.

00:29:30.240 I keep saying to when I see Grassy Narrows Indian Band pleading for help, they have I think it's mercury poisoning there.

00:29:38.760 That's a real health problem.

00:29:40.660 And I think imagine if they had six months worth of Trudeau's Anrua funding, they could they could clean that up.

00:29:49.280 Like that's a real actual problem.

00:29:51.300 That's that would no one on in the Indian band created.

00:29:55.420 I wish we treated northern Indian bands as luxuriously.

00:30:01.720 I mean, maybe we do.

00:30:02.600 And maybe there's problem in Indian bands.

00:30:04.800 But believe me, we have problems at home before we need to throw money to virtue signal in Hamas run Gaza. 0.93

00:30:10.280 Last word to you.

00:30:11.720 Do you think that this latest scandal will move the needle on Canada's foreign aid at all?

00:30:16.900 Or is it not even registering?

00:30:18.560 Because frankly, I think a lot of the media loves the fact that we give money to Hamas as well.

00:30:23.140 Yeah.

00:30:23.500 No, I don't think it's going to move the needle in Canada because all of Trudeau's foreign policy is done exclusively for with with what it will do for Canadian votes in mind.

00:30:37.080 And I think that there are now because there are so many Muslim voters in Canada that the liberals think they need. 0.99

00:30:45.360 And and, you know, they're starting now to outnumber Jewish voters who the liberals used to think they need.

00:30:50.580 I think the very naked calculation at liberal headquarters is that they're going to to keep funding the Palestinians and Anrua because that's going to get them some votes and a few ridings in Toronto and Montreal that they think they need in order to hold power.

00:31:06.500 Yeah. Well, I mean, that math, I mean, liberals can they can't balance a budget, but they can count votes. 0.92

00:31:12.000 And there's about 350,000 Jews in Canada, about one point three million Muslims.

00:31:16.720 Justin Trudeau knows where his political future lies.

00:31:20.560 Lauren, it's great to see you. And thanks for your time today.

00:31:23.120 You bet.

00:31:23.640 All right. There you have it. Lauren Gunter, senior columnist with the Edmonton Sun.
