00:00:19.220 really have to have the video version for this. I don't know if you're going to get a lot out of it

00:00:23.820 if you're just listening to it because you've got to see, see the flag, see what these people look

00:00:29.260 like and what they're saying and where they are. To get the video version, just go to

00:00:33.300 rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe. It's eight bucks a month. You get my show every weeknight and

00:00:38.920 Sheila's show every week. And that money, eight bucks a month, is how we pay the bills around here. 1.00

00:00:44.020 All right, here's today's program.

00:00:59.260 Tonight, the anti-Semitic Hamas supporter who made a scene in a Jewish restaurant talks

00:01:05.180 to Rebel News. It's November 13th and this is the Ezra LeBant Show.

00:01:08.920 You're fighting for freedom!

00:01:10.920 Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:01:15.300 Do you remember this guy? I showed this video during one of our daytime live streams. He's

00:01:28.680 a pro-Hamas activist in the greater Toronto area who came up with a scheme. He would go 0.65

00:01:33.600 to a Jewish restaurant, order a coffee, have someone film him, and he would return the coffee 0.94

00:01:39.040 saying it tastes like blood. And it looks like he brought his daughter along for the whole anti-Semitic

00:01:44.060 scheme. Take a look at this.

00:01:46.060 For a humanitarian purpose, they made a mistake and they bought from this company, so it's

00:01:49.060 really a company where these guys are supporting Palestine, so we want to return it. They bought 0.59

00:01:53.060 it by accident.

00:01:54.060 I understand. So, okay, what I'll do, I'll just give the drinks to you for free and then

00:01:59.060 I'll refine the money.

00:02:00.060 Okay, we don't want to drink it. That's like drinking blood.

00:02:02.060 For us, we've got to support free Palestine and you don't know what it is, right?

00:02:05.060 Yeah, it's okay.

00:02:06.060 You know what's happening there is genocide?

00:02:08.060 Yeah.

00:02:09.060 How do you feel about it?

00:02:10.060 I feel so bad, you know. Nobody deserves that one.

00:02:13.060 I want to start with the kids.

00:02:14.060 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:15.060 I'll look into it and I'll give her a little bite. 0.88

00:02:18.060 Okay, I appreciate that. Thank you very much. God bless you.

00:02:21.060 I know you're from Philippines, right?

00:02:22.060 Yeah.

00:02:23.060 Filipinos are good people. They always stand for human rights and for justice.

00:02:27.060 Yeah, I feel that I'm starting to feel so bad.

00:02:29.060 Yeah, thank you.

00:02:31.060 Just give me a second to see the...

00:02:34.060 I appreciate your calls then.

00:02:35.060 I note that the restaurant he went to has got nothing to do with Israel.

00:02:38.060 It's not part of the Israeli government. It's not run by Israelis. 0.89

00:02:41.060 It's called Cafe Landwehr.

00:02:43.060 It was started about 100 years ago in Berlin, Germany.

00:02:47.060 It was run by Jews. They had to shut it down because of the Nazis.

00:02:50.060 Now it's a small chain in Toronto.

00:02:52.060 No Israeli connection. It was originally Jewish. 0.63

00:02:55.060 It served some Jewish food, it's true.

00:02:57.060 I've been there. Most of the staff are regular Torontonians, as in from every background.

00:03:03.060 In this case, it was a Filipino staffer.

00:03:05.060 But this anti-Semitic bigot goes there for a stunt to harass the staff,

00:03:11.060 to cause them an inconvenience to make a scene,

00:03:14.060 teaching his daughter how to hate because they're Jews. 0.99

00:03:18.060 Or at least he thought they were Jews.

00:03:20.060 What a creep, what a weirdo, what a freak, what a bully, what an idiot.

00:03:25.060 Well, apparently his name is Firas al-Nijm,

00:03:29.060 and he actually watched me talk about him the other day.

00:03:33.060 Because wouldn't you know it, when our video boss at Rebel News,

00:03:36.060 Efron Monsanto, was attending an event in Mississauga as a journalist,

00:03:41.060 he came up to us, this Firas fella, asked us if we were Rebel News. 0.99

00:03:46.060 And when we said yes, he wanted to talk to us.

00:03:50.060 He wanted to tell us a lot more at great length, actually.

00:03:53.060 Not to challenge what I had said about him, but to expand upon it.

00:03:58.060 I'm going to show you the entire video, because it's quite remarkable.

00:04:02.060 I'll stop it from time to time to give you my thoughts.

00:04:05.060 The first thing I want you to know though, is that he called his event,

00:04:09.060 and this is why our videographer was there,

00:04:11.060 he called his event a Palestinian Remembrance Day event.

00:04:15.060 In fact, he photoshopped the Palestinian flag colors onto the poppy.

00:04:19.060 He deliberately tried to co-opt Remembrance Day for his Hamas terrorist friends.

00:04:25.060 If you think I'm kidding, watch him say so.

00:04:29.060 Yeah, there's lots of independent media, like what's the name of it?

00:04:32.060 What is it called? Rebel News, what is it called?

00:04:35.060 Actually, yeah. Rebel News, yeah.

00:04:37.060 Yeah. Yeah.

00:04:38.060 Because I wanted to ask...

00:04:39.060 What's his name? Azra... What's his name?

00:04:41.060 Azra Levant is the founder, yeah.

00:04:43.060 Yeah, yeah.

00:04:44.060 Because I wanted to ask, so this is called the Remembrance Day ceremony,

00:04:48.060 a vigil for the Palestinian martyrs.

00:04:50.060 There's some controversy online that why would you conflate Remembrance Day

00:04:54.060 for fallen soldiers of Canada with the Palestinian martyrs?

00:04:57.060 What do you say to people who might say you shouldn't do that?

00:05:00.060 I mean, the peacekeepers that died keeping the peace for the Canadian history

00:05:08.060 and for the Canadian nation. We respect them, obviously, and we also remember them.

00:05:13.060 Okay. But some wars were driven by the US, and unfortunately, Canada fell in the trap

00:05:18.060 and followed the path of the US imperialist system, and they died in an unjust way.

00:05:23.060 So that's a different situation. But here today, we're remembering them as well,

00:05:28.060 the peacekeepers that died, and also the Palestinians that are dying and getting killed for over 75 years of occupation.

00:05:34.060 Yeah. You know, they deserve justice. They deserve to be recognized. They deserve to be respected.

00:05:40.060 They deserve to be remembered.

00:05:42.060 So you're saying this is a rally for both Canadian veterans and Palestinian martyrs?

00:05:47.060 Yes. Canadian veterans, like I said, that are specifically the ones that died in peacekeeping operations

00:05:53.060 and projects like that. The ones, like I said, that were misled and taken into a war that was not just,

00:06:00.060 then no, we don't stand with them. I mean, at the same time, we're upset that they were misled,

00:06:05.060 and they fell in that trap. But we stand with the Palestinian murders, 1.00

00:06:12.060 we stand against the Zionist regime, and we stand with the Palestinian legitimate resistance,

00:06:17.060 the ones that are fighting inside Palestine for their rights back.

00:06:22.060 And we mean the resistance in Gaza, the ones that are even labeled terrorists.

00:06:30.060 Hang on. That's not what Remembrance Day is.

00:06:32.060 He's saying Hamas terrorists need our Remembrance Day too. 0.98

00:06:36.060 And he's saying 75 years of occupation? That's all very weird.

00:06:42.060 By the way, Israel has left Gaza in 2005. It's been its own country for almost 20 years. 0.61

00:06:49.060 And Israel did not have any territory in Gaza or the West Bank from the date Israel was born,

00:06:55.060 in 1948 till 1967, when Israel won those territories in a defensive war,

00:07:00.060 was invaded simultaneously by half a dozen Arab countries.

00:07:03.060 I don't know where the year 75 comes from.

00:07:05.060 But a lot of things this guy says are completely made up or at odds with reality.

00:07:09.060 But enough from me. I want you to see a little bit more of what he's saying.

00:07:12.060 He has taken the Remembrance Day name, which is a holiday in Canada, a very somber holiday,

00:07:18.060 and he's using it to remember Hamas terrorists. Take a listen.

00:07:23.060 We don't call them terrorists. We say that they're anti-terrorists.

00:07:26.060 Hamas is legitimate. It's popular. It's elected democratically by the Palestinians. 1.00

00:07:32.060 They're obviously blockaded and divided from the West Bank, so they can't really unite with the West Bank.

00:07:39.060 Same thing with Islamic Jihad. These are legitimate political parties and they're also legitimate resistance. 0.93

00:07:47.060 And also in the West Bank, some of these small groups or people that do individual operations to fight the Israeli occupation,

00:07:57.060 they're also respected people and they're honored people.

00:08:01.060 So he's actually against Canadian soldiers.

00:08:06.060 He's against World War I and World War II and Korea and Afghanistan.

00:08:11.060 The real heroes, he says, are the terrorists.

00:08:14.060 The only soldiers, he says, we should respect are those who died in peacekeeping,

00:08:19.060 not ones who actually fought for our freedoms.

00:08:22.060 He wants to take Remembrance Day, wring out the things we remember and turn it into a Hamas day. 0.98

00:08:28.060 Here, listen to him talk some more.

00:08:30.060 I think that there's a biased way of dealing with the Palestinians.

00:08:35.060 The Ukrainians are legitimate resistance against Russia.

00:08:38.060 But when the Palestinians rise up, they call them terrorists.

00:08:40.060 And we're against that fully and we denounce that.

00:08:43.060 And we're going to clarify that situation to the Canadian government and to the Canadian public.

00:08:48.060 That the Palestinian resistance has a right.

00:08:50.060 It's the only Palestinian resistance that is allowed or tolerable, tolerated is only people on social media or in TikTok, 0.99

00:08:57.060 dealing with an apartheid system and an occupation and a cruel, cruel regime like the Israelis for 75 years. 0.98

00:09:03.060 He's saying this. I'm not saying this. He says he loves the terrorists. They're honorable.

00:09:08.060 The barbaric rapes and murders and tortures and kidnappers. He loves that about them. Take a look.

00:09:15.060 We've seen what they did to Shirin Abu Aqla, a very well-known journalist for the Jazeera.

00:09:19.060 We've seen what they did to Mohamed Durra. He died right in his father's lap, getting killed by the Israelis. 0.97

00:09:26.060 They always justify somehow. They always paint a little picture.

00:09:29.060 And why these groups are labeled terrorists is because of Zionist lobbies such as Sija, such as UGA, such as Ben Ibrith, 0.53

00:09:38.060 friends of whatever their name is, this other organization with Michael Levitt.

00:09:44.060 Yeah, friends of Simonthal.

00:09:45.060 So these guys, they put pressure on certain politicians at a certain time and they do their lobbying and pressuring and so on.

00:09:50.060 You know, there's influence. There's money involved, you know, big contracts, things like that.

00:09:54.060 And they push their narrative and they push their projects on them.

00:09:58.060 And then fully they put the Palestinian resistance as a terrorist organizations. And we reject that.

00:10:03.060 What is he saying that in Canada, the Jews have big money contracts paying politicians?

00:10:10.060 I'm not quite sure what he's saying. It's such a mishmash of conspiracy theories and smears.

00:10:16.060 I don't know what he's saying. Hamas are terrorist groups. That's not a matter of opinion.

00:10:23.060 That is what they do. That's a fact of law in Canada. They are officially listed as terrorist groups.

00:10:28.060 And if you look at the plain motives that they have, it is to terrify people.

00:10:33.060 They're not a genuine army that could beat the U.S. Army, the Canadian Army or the Israeli Army in a traditional military battle.

00:10:40.060 They're terrorists in that they deliberately go after civilians to strike terror in people's hearts.

00:10:45.060 And they do that for political gain. That is a dictionary definition of terrorism.

00:10:49.060 He says, no, they are glorious heroes. And they're more worthy of Remembrance Day than the people in Canada who died over the last century for our freedom.

00:10:59.060 Here, watch some more.

00:11:00.060 We support the resistance of Palestinians. And we are really upset with the Canadian government and the media for labeling them as terrorists, defaming them and disrespecting them and disrespecting all these Palestinians.

00:11:11.060 We were here in a rally on Friday to support the Palestinian resistance.

00:11:15.060 And we asked the people here if they think that Hamas is a terrorist organization.

00:11:21.060 So he says he had a kind of vote for his crowd there in Mississauga. And indeed he did. Here, take a look at what he was referring to.

00:11:29.060 They said no. The majority of people said here that they didn't accept that. They thought that was wrong and that they're legitimate.

00:11:36.060 Right? Because this is what they're doing. They're labeling a whole group that's fighting for Palestinian rights and being able to break this blockade.

00:11:43.060 Okay? And help to liberate Palestine, they can label them as a terrorist. So they can justify all their attacks. And they're attacking hospitals, schools, churches, anything. 0.87

00:11:52.060 And then they'll just also justify that by saying, oh, they're using it as shields, they're using weapons inside these places and so on.

00:11:58.060 Even if they were using that, I don't believe that. But if they were, you have no right to kill innocent people outside of a hospital.

00:12:05.060 Well, it's not a theory that Hamas hides in hospitals in Gaza. It's well-known. Amnesty International wrote about it years ago.

00:12:13.060 And literally just today, Israeli Defense Forces soldiers went to a hospital. I think it's called the Rantizi Hospital in Gaza.

00:12:20.060 They took it over. And guess what they found? 60 feet beneath the hospital. A Hamas compound. Take a look. 0.88

00:12:28.060 Take a look. We first saw the solar panels. Then the electricity goes here. And it goes down directly to the tunnel.

00:12:35.060 Now you can see the tunnel. You can see the tunnel. The tunnel is let down more than 20 meters down.

00:12:43.060 The robot found a door. A door that is bulletproof. It's explosive proof.

00:12:50.060 So it looks like a hard evidence, a clear evidence that the hospital direction is connected.

00:12:58.060 This is a cover tunnel. It's part of the same floor and it slides down here. So it's a cover tunnel so nobody can find it.

00:13:06.060 This is Rantizi Hospital.

00:13:12.060 And this is the place where I showed you the tunnel. I want you to see.

00:13:19.060 This is the backside of the hospital. Hamas used this hospital. Tonight we have entered into this building. 0.84

00:13:25.060 I will show you the evidence. Let's enter into the hospital.

00:13:28.060 We are now entering into the area of the hospital where we had found the evidence.

00:13:34.060 This operation was conducted by Israeli Special Unit, the Israeli Navy SEALs.

00:13:39.060 This is still an operation that is conducting. And I'm showing you the first evidence to see.

00:13:48.060 We are now, we are now in the area of the basement of the hospital.

00:13:54.060 I want to show you a room where we found all the gear, the operational gear of Hamas. 0.98

00:14:00.060 Hamas is using hospitals like we showed the evidence in Shifa Hospital. 0.93

00:14:04.060 By the way, Hamas typically doesn't hide their brutality. As you know, they live streamed their murder and rape of Israelis on October 7th.

00:14:13.060 All right, back to his rant.

00:14:14.060 And we've seen that live streaming through people's phones. It wasn't just by the media.

00:14:19.060 It wasn't by just certain Al Jazeera or whatever or press TV or whatever.

00:14:22.060 No, no, it was like people that are just individual people that have social media that live stream a certain area and you see the bombings of the hospital.

00:14:30.060 I saw that two days ago.

00:14:31.060 Yeah, those aren't conspiracy theories. Those aren't lies. They really did it.

00:14:35.060 He is trying to defend Hamas by denying what they boast about.

00:14:40.060 Here are videos, some of the most shocking videos, some of the first ones of when young women were being raped, taken to Gaza and paraded around the streets.

00:14:50.060 Just absolutely sickening.

00:14:52.060 He says these are heroes superior to our own fallen soldiers. Back to his rant.

00:14:57.060 I know you're going to cut what you want and paste whatever you want, you know what I mean?

00:15:01.060 For the record, I'll probably post this in full. I'll say whatever you want to say.

00:15:04.060 Well, I'm saying what I've got to say, you know what I'm saying?

00:15:07.060 And I know maybe your motive is against us and to try to have more pressure against us, to make more laws, to silence us.

00:15:14.060 But we will not be silenced.

00:15:16.060 I'll tell you our motives at Rebel News.

00:15:18.060 And I have to congratulate our videographer Efron Monsanto, who very calmly let this fella have his say.

00:15:25.060 Our motive is to expose reality, to show what's going on, to tell the other side of the story.

00:15:30.060 The CBC won't even call these folks terrorists.

00:15:33.060 I want to show you that these protesters on the streets, they're not for peace.

00:15:37.060 They're not even for Palestinians. 1.00

00:15:40.060 Their deep core belief is their anti-Semitism.

00:15:44.060 They believe in violence. They support violent terrorist groups.

00:15:47.060 It's not really that tough journalistically.

00:15:50.060 The harder job journalistically would be to see what people like this are saying and what they're doing and pretend it's not about bringing Hamas-style violence to Canada.

00:16:00.060 By the way, listen to this heckler who accosted Justin Trudeau today, demanding that Trudeau recognize Hamas as a peaceful group.

00:16:08.060 Why are you supporting Israel? Don't push me. Don't push me. I'm standing. 0.90

00:16:13.060 Why are you supporting Israel? Hey, relax. 0.94

00:16:17.060 I'm talking to our prime minister. Don't breach my rights.

00:16:21.060 Why do you say Hamas is a terrorist organization?

00:16:23.060 Because Hamas is not a terrorist organization.

00:16:27.060 No, they're Palestinian resistance.

00:16:30.060 What about Ukrainian resistance?

00:16:32.060 You're just, you're just bowing down to the Israelis. 1.00

00:16:36.060 Why, they can't fight back? They can't fight back. Shame on you, Trudeau. Shame on you.

00:16:42.060 He stood with the Israelis, with the war criminals, the ones that are breaching international law, killing babies. 0.92

00:16:51.060 Yeah, it's hard to hear that, and every journalist in the country would have seen that.

00:16:56.060 It's hard to see that and say, oh, no, no, no, no.

00:16:59.060 These protesters are peace-loving Palestinians.

00:17:02.060 No, you heard him.

00:17:03.060 He's demanding that Trudeau legalize Hamas.

00:17:06.060 By the way, that happens to be the position of several liberal MPs, including Omar al-Gabra,

00:17:11.060 the former cabinet minister who, before he joined the liberals and ran for parliament, ran the Canadian Arab Federation that lobbied to decriminalize Hamas.

00:17:19.060 So that extremist pro-Hamas heckler you saw there really is no different than Omar al-Gabra and the rest of the liberal Hamas caucus.

00:17:28.060 All right, we're almost done. Watch a little more.

00:17:30.060 But we will not be silenced. We will stand up for what's right.

00:17:33.060 And this is the Charter of Rights Affairs in Canada.

00:17:35.060 And if they want to switch that and play with that, you know, as they do at times, you know.

00:17:42.060 And my name is Faras El-Najim and manager of Canadian Defenders for Human Rights.

00:17:46.060 And I'm in touch. And I'm on calls all the time with people in Gaza.

00:17:50.060 And I know how bad the situation is. Not today. Not yesterday. Not one year ago.

00:17:54.060 We're talking years back. And I've been talking to them.

00:17:56.060 And every time the Israelis bombard Gaza, the whole population is feeling the pain.

00:18:03.060 The children and everybody. You can blame whatever you want to blame.

00:18:06.060 You can justify whatever you want to justify.

00:18:08.060 Yeah, I'm going to disagree. I don't think this guy actually cares about Muslim lives.

00:18:13.060 I mean, sure, he does. But not enough to have a protest or a march.

00:18:17.060 I mean, hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Arabs have been killed by Bashar Assad

00:18:22.060 and with help from the Russian military in Syria.

00:18:26.060 Countless have died in the civil war in Yemen.

00:18:30.060 And as we talk about from time to time on this show, the Muslim province of Xinjiang, which is part of China,

00:18:39.060 actually has modern day concentration camps for millions of what they're called Uyghurs. 1.00

00:18:45.060 That's the ethnic name for Muslims in China.

00:18:49.060 These folks don't give a damn. 1.00

00:18:51.060 There's no worldwide protest for the Uyghurs, for the Syrian Arabs, for those in Yemen,

00:18:58.060 for the ancient battles between Morocco and Algeria, for the civil wars in Sudan,

00:19:03.060 for the butchery that goes on in much of Africa. No one cares. 1.00

00:19:08.060 Well, I mean, sure, they care, but not enough to have protests.

00:19:11.060 What this protest really is, is an anti-Semitic protest, a Jew-hating protest.

00:19:17.060 Here, watch a little bit more.

00:19:19.060 But we will not surrender, we will not submit, and we will not sit silently.

00:19:24.060 I'm telling you guys this.

00:19:25.060 This can be reached to all the levels of the government, from the prime minister,

00:19:31.060 attorney general, MPs, senators, MPPs, counselors, whatever it is.

00:19:39.060 Let them hear that we're here.

00:19:41.060 You can come over here to show them that we're here.

00:19:44.060 These are the murdered children that we put here.

00:19:48.060 The Palestinian Holocaust, being by the Zionists. 0.98

00:19:53.060 The Palestinian Holocaust, being by the Zionists. 0.98

00:19:55.060 Holocaust is a term. 0.94

00:19:57.060 Shireen Abu Akhla, the Christian Palestinian journalist, how she was murdered and she was killed, and then they also beat up her coffin.

00:20:19.060 When she was being buried, they had no justification in any way.

00:20:22.060 How could they justify that?

00:20:23.060 They were beating the coffin when the people were trying to bury the woman and have her last memories. 0.95

00:20:28.060 Okay?

00:20:29.060 We're here to stand up for the Palestinian murders, remind people of them. 1.00

00:20:36.060 Like I said, we care about Canada.

00:20:37.060 We love this country.

00:20:38.060 And we're embedded in this system.

00:20:41.060 We're inclusive in this system.

00:20:44.060 We respect the laws.

00:20:45.060 I mean, this guy is all the way out there.

00:20:49.060 And, you know, people say, well, what about hate speech laws?

00:20:52.060 I don't believe in hate speech laws.

00:20:53.060 You've heard me say it.

00:20:54.060 Although if the law is on the books, it ought to be implemented equally.

00:20:58.060 You can't just use hate speech laws against conservatives or white people if there is hate being propagated by Islamist extremists. 0.71

00:21:07.060 If the law is on the books and if you believe in the law, it should be used.

00:21:10.060 But what I actually think we should be using are the criminal code provisions banning participation in terrorist groups.

00:21:16.060 This guy has plainly said he's for Hamas.

00:21:19.060 Well, if you look at the criminal code provisions, they ban participating, facilitating, instructing, or harboring terrorist groups.

00:21:27.060 Is this guy facilitating or participating terrorist groups?

00:21:31.060 I'm not sure.

00:21:32.060 It sure seems like he's close to it.

00:21:34.060 Here, let's go back to him claiming that he doesn't break the law.

00:21:37.060 No, no.

00:21:38.060 You don't try to breach laws?

00:21:39.060 I'm against people that sabotage and do, you know, vandalism, things like that at times.

00:21:44.060 To be honest with you, I don't agree with that at times, okay?

00:21:47.060 I think there should be major pressure.

00:21:48.060 There should be a lot of protests, petitions, different things.

00:21:51.060 But people are frustrated because the government is taking the wrong stance.

00:21:56.060 I think this is insane.

00:21:58.060 I mean, you got a good read for the guy in the very first video he posted of himself.

00:22:02.060 Going into a Jewish-themed restaurant and basically making a scene to humiliate people there to cause a ruckus. 0.86

00:22:09.060 And he was teaching his daughter how to do it.

00:22:11.060 I think he's a Jew hater, plain and simple.

00:22:13.060 He's dressing up his ethnic hatred in some geopolitical gobbledygook and a lot of conspiracy theories.

00:22:20.060 I actually think this anti-Semitism has been here for a while.

00:22:25.060 It's just never been this brazen before because it's never had this social permission to be so bold.

00:22:32.060 In the past, if someone would have done that in Café Landwehr, probably the police would have been called.

00:22:37.060 If a guy would champion a terrorist group, he'd probably be picked up by CSIS.

00:22:42.060 But these days, heck, if senior cabinet ministers including Melanie Jolie and Trudeau himself can blame Israel for atrocities that are not true.

00:22:51.060 For example, the claim that Israel shot a rocket at a hospital.

00:22:54.060 If you have Melanie Jolie and Justin Trudeau condemning Israel, demanding that they have a ceasefire fighting back against a terrorist group,

00:23:01.060 of course you're giving permission to people like this virus fella.

00:23:05.060 The government is being unjust. The government is not making the right stand.

00:23:08.060 It's standing on the right side of history and the people that are oppressed.

00:23:11.060 So we're going to have to speak about that.

00:23:14.060 Final question. So what do you see to end this conflict?

00:23:17.060 What do you think is the solution?

00:23:18.060 You know, some of the chances that go around is, you know, from the river to the sea,

00:23:22.060 Palestine will be free, which is the erasure of the Israel state. 0.98

00:23:25.060 How do you think this is going to end?

00:23:26.060 That's a good question by our friend Efron. Here's the answer.

00:23:29.060 I think the only way it's going to end is by liberating Palestine from the river to the sea. 0.99

00:23:33.060 And I think this is the most important slogan in all the protests.

00:23:36.060 And especially now that we see a campaign trying to remove it and trying to criminalize it,

00:23:41.060 we're going to say it even louder and we're going to say it stronger

00:23:44.060 because we believe that the apartheid system needs to go down.

00:23:47.060 Why is it so easy to justify, for instance, removing Saddam from power

00:23:53.060 and getting all these world powers to take him out?

00:23:56.060 Why is it so easy and justifiable to go and take Gaddafi out and get the NATO involved in all that?

00:24:03.060 Why is it when we have to take out the Israeli regime, it's untouchable 0.88

00:24:07.060 and it's the most important regime? Why?

00:24:10.060 We've seen their crimes. We've seen them breach international laws, human rights violations,

00:24:13.060 killing innocent people, children, everything.

00:24:15.060 They destroy every civilian infrastructure.

00:24:18.060 So we believe that it should be liberated from the river to the sea.

00:24:21.060 And the idea of soldiers are prosecuted one by one, especially the mercenaries.

00:24:26.060 And we want the Muslims, Christians and Jews that are from the indigenous land of Palestine

00:24:30.060 to coexist and unite and build a system together.

00:24:33.060 This is what I think most of the people would agree here if you asked them.

00:24:36.060 And we want to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea. 0.89

00:24:40.060 What would that mean for the Jewish people currently in Israel?

00:24:43.060 I don't know. I mean, there's a difference between the idea of soldiers

00:24:47.060 and people that are involved in the army and the system itself

00:24:49.060 and people that were misleading and went there.

00:24:52.060 They're like settlers, right?

00:24:53.060 At the end of the day, once Israel is taken down and dismantled and they're prosecuted, 0.50

00:24:58.060 for instance, the axis of resistance enters Palestine,

00:25:01.060 maybe you don't think it's true or it's going to happen, but if that happens,

00:25:04.060 at that point, there's going to be a prosecution process.

00:25:07.060 And then the Jews and Christians and Muslims of Palestine, the original ones, 1.00

00:25:13.060 will choose how to deal with all those other people that are there.

00:25:16.060 Maybe they'll let them stay there and they'll become normal citizens, possibly,

00:25:19.060 the ones that didn't want to get involved in killing and murdering and building the system, you know?

00:25:23.060 That's not up to me to decide. It's up to the Palestinians to decide. 1.00

00:25:27.060 He's pretty blunt, isn't he?

00:25:29.060 He really is following that Hamas charter, which if you've ever seen it, 0.87

00:25:33.060 it pledges to kill the Jews. 0.97

00:25:35.060 It does use the word Israel from time to time, but it mainly is obsessed with the Jews, Jews, Jews,

00:25:40.060 kill the Jews wherever you find them. 1.00

00:25:42.060 Don't pretend that this guy's a peace protester or even that he's for a ceasefire,

00:25:47.060 other than for Israel to cease fire so Hamas can have a tactical regrouping.

00:25:52.060 You heard him. He wants to ethnically cleanse the Jews out of Israel.

00:25:57.060 Well, here's the last comment by our friend Efron with the last response from this activist.

00:26:06.060 Well, thank you for your time. It's been 11 minutes.

00:26:07.060 One final question just to wrap this up.

00:26:09.060 So in the beginning, you said this is a representation for Canadian soldiers as well.

00:26:13.060 And I see you're not wearing a poppy.

00:26:15.060 For people who might be asking if this is really a support for the Canadian veterans who died in World War I and II.

00:26:21.060 Actually, I was trying to get poppies, but I didn't get a chance.

00:26:24.060 I was running a liberty because I organized this protest, sorry, this vigil and this gathering.

00:26:31.060 And I didn't have a chance, you know. I would have wore one.

00:26:34.060 I was about to make some answer.

00:26:36.060 That's the perfect ending, isn't it?

00:26:38.060 He used Remembrance Day as a trick.

00:26:41.060 He actually doesn't give a damn about our soldiers.

00:26:44.060 In fact, the opposite.

00:26:45.060 He condemns them, saying they were fools who were tricked to fight for freedom.

00:26:49.060 He uses our laws as a trick, too.

00:26:51.060 He uses our liberalism against us.

00:26:54.060 He doesn't believe in the Charter of Rights or peace or prosperity or pluralism.

00:26:58.060 He just uses those things to undermine us.

00:27:01.060 I got to tell you, the answer here isn't easy.

00:27:04.060 This guy will never be convinced.

00:27:06.060 He's not just after me or Jews.

00:27:08.060 He's after you, too.

00:27:10.060 He wants to destroy the West.

00:27:12.060 So how do you deal with this problem?

00:27:14.060 I think the first and most important thing is you've got to turn off the tap.

00:27:18.060 If we're bringing in half a million and now Trudeau wants to bring in a million new migrants a year,

00:27:24.060 and many of them are coming from countries where anti-Semitism and extremism and terrorism are the norm,

00:27:31.060 don't expect people to suddenly shuck off those medieval beliefs when they hop on a plane for 10 hours to get here.

00:27:37.060 So the number one thing is you've got to turn off the tap of mass migration of unvetted folks who hate us. 1.00

00:27:44.060 I think we have to deport non-citizens who go full Hamas like this guy does. 1.00

00:27:49.060 But I think most of all, we have to stop pretending that this is something that it's not.

00:27:55.060 We have to stop pretending that these are peace activists or just like anyone else.

00:28:00.060 They're not. They're the new Nazis. 0.91

00:28:03.060 And when they can, they will be violent here, too.

00:28:07.060 In fact, if you've been paying attention to the Molotov cocktails and the shootings at Jewish schools in Montreal,

00:28:13.060 you know that they already are.

00:28:16.060 Stay with us. Next, some amazing coverage by Alexa Lavoie.

00:28:31.060 Hey, over the weekend, our friend Alexa Lavoie went to London, England for what was billed as the largest pro Hamas, 0.61

00:28:38.060 or they called it pro-Palestinian protest ever.

00:28:41.060 And I want to show you two great videos that Alexa did.

00:28:44.060 The first was, remember, it was Remembrance Day.

00:28:46.060 She went to the Remembrance Day ceremony and interviewed some veterans.

00:28:52.060 And then she actually went to the Palestinian protest itself.

00:28:56.060 These are two amazing videos I'd like to show you back to back.

00:28:59.060 She did a lot of videos from over there in London, and you can see them on our specialty website called battleforlondon.com.

00:29:07.060 So I'll be right back.

00:29:08.060 But here's two videos from Alexa, who I think I did a great job.

00:29:14.060 Hello, this is Alexa for Remembrance News.

00:29:17.060 It's November 11th, and I'm currently in London, UK.

00:29:21.060 I've come here to cover the protests happening today on Armistice Day, also known as Remembrance Day.

00:29:27.060 There is two protests today.

00:29:29.060 One is patriotic Brits intending to show their respect to the Brits' armed force and to protect the cenotaph.

00:29:39.060 The other protest is an anti-Israel protest, which is expected to attract thousands of attendees, including supporters of Hamas and Gaza, who have previously spread anti-Semitic speech.

00:29:52.060 London has instances of vandalism, such as graffiti on historic buildings and attacks on Jewish restaurants.

00:30:01.060 Tommy Robinson, a member of the Brits' Patriot Movement, has called for action to protect the cenotaph and honour the British armed force.

00:30:11.060 Despite police requests to cancel, both groups have chosen to proceed.

00:30:17.060 We will observe if there is any interference between the two groups today, but now let's see what unfolds on this day.

00:30:25.060 But just before you see the full video, please considerate to make a donation on our website, battleforlondon.com.

00:30:32.060 Make a donation.

00:30:33.060 If you think it was important for us to be here to show you the other side of the story, please help me to offset my travel expense.

00:30:41.060 Right now, I'm standing in the middle of the crowd of the patriotic British, so we'll see what will happen.

00:30:47.060 We'll try to find some people to talk.

00:30:49.060 What did you just say to the police?

00:30:51.060 The last few weeks they haven't been doing their job properly.

00:30:54.060 Our monuments have been desecrated.

00:30:56.060 So we're here to try and stop it.

00:30:58.060 That's it. Simple as that.

00:31:00.060 So what do you think about the pro-Palestine that are doing like this kind of ban?

00:31:05.060 Pro-Palestine, more like pro-Amis. 0.62

00:31:07.060 Come on, you know.

00:31:08.060 Let's just be fair.

00:31:09.060 Some of them are, yeah.

00:31:11.060 But there's a hell of a lot of pro-

00:31:12.060 I mean, they've got terrorist flags flying about.

00:31:15.060 They're getting on the monuments with the terrorist flags, getting down again, handing them to the police,

00:31:20.060 and they're giving them back.

00:31:23.060 They're giving them the f***ing flags back.

00:31:26.060 So today you are here for protecting the cenotaph?

00:31:28.060 For our cenotaph, yeah.

00:31:30.060 The police favour them, the left wing.

00:31:33.060 We're just patriots.

00:31:34.060 We're good people.

00:31:35.060 We're just here to remember, like I say, our fallen.

00:31:38.060 The boys and brave girls that have fought for us and give us the liberty we live today.

00:31:42.060 And that's it.

00:31:43.060 The Patriot group gathered along Whitehall Street to see the ceremony at the cenotaph.

00:31:50.060 There was a small scuffle when the police tried to stop some protesters from walking towards the cenotaph.

00:31:59.060 The crowd chanted, you're not English anymore, and others chant.

00:32:04.060 Several people told us that the police treat English Patriot much harsher than the pro-Gaza protesters.

00:32:13.060 Do you see, like, a double-stander with the police so far?

00:32:16.060 Absolutely.

00:32:17.060 You're going to look at German news.

00:32:19.060 They're battering the Palestinians for what they're doing. 1.00

00:32:21.060 We, who f***ing, looking after me, have a cup of tea lads, have a cup of tea, have a sandwich.

00:32:26.060 I never brought these f***ing bats out at the Palestinians when they're firing fireworks at them, did they? 1.00

00:32:31.060 Well, we're here to remember those that sacrificed their lives for this country to be like it is.

00:32:38.060 And that's why we're here. We're here to remember the fallen.

00:32:41.060 And what do you think about the pro-Palestine who have actually vandalised a cenotaph?

00:32:46.060 This is a country that allows people to come to this country like they do, and this is how disrespectful they are when they're in this country.

00:32:55.060 We have allowed these people to come here with an open heart, and this is how they treat us?

00:33:03.060 Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful.

00:33:16.060 So I'm next to the cenotaph, and two minutes of silence was held.

00:33:31.060 Everybody is respectful, and it was really interesting to see.

00:33:34.060 So now we continue our day.

00:33:36.060 Why was it important for you to be here?

00:33:39.060 I'm just a member of the people that we've known and lost, really.

00:33:43.060 Not just from the first, second World War, but the Falklands, Iraq, Afghanistan.

00:33:48.060 You know, there's been lots of people who've lost their lives and life-changing injuries.

00:33:53.060 And it's time to reflect on them, really.

00:33:56.060 It's their day and hours. Where are you?

00:33:59.060 I'm really just here to watch the service and pay some respects.

00:34:04.060 I've never been to the cenotaph on Armistice Day, and I thought this year, of all years,

00:34:08.060 is a good time to go.

00:34:10.060 What do you think about the cenotaph that was vandalized by pro-Palestine people protesting?

00:34:17.060 Yeah, that makes me furious.

00:34:19.060 Obviously, I don't urge any violent reaction, but obviously it makes me angry.

00:34:26.060 It makes loads of people angry. It's disrespectful.

00:34:29.060 These people gave their lives so that we can have liberty to protest.

00:34:33.060 I'm really trying to understand what goes through those people's heads when they do things like that.

00:34:39.060 But, yeah, there's not a lot I can say. I'm speechless.

00:34:45.060 And my granddad fought in World War II.

00:34:48.060 All his regiment died, and he was the only one that survived from his tank.

00:34:53.060 And so I come here and remember him and what he fought for against anti-Semitism and against the Nazis in World War II.

00:35:01.060 So I come here and stand here, and I believe that God stands for this country,

00:35:05.060 and he is grieved about the state of the country that we've thrown away our Christian values.

00:35:12.060 The cenotaph ceremony was incredibly powerful, with numerous Britons standing resolute for their country and history.

00:35:20.060 Although there were some clashes between individuals from the British defenders protest who were there to protect the cenotaph and the police,

00:35:30.060 overall, the event remained peaceful.

00:35:33.060 Now, stay tuned for the full video of the anti-Israel march in central London,

00:35:39.060 and you will see that this is a very different story.

00:35:49.060 After the patriotic protests along Whitehall, I went to check out the pro-Gaza protests in central London.

00:35:57.060 I had two security with me, just in case things got out of him.

00:36:04.060 So you can observe behind me, there is a huge crowd of anti-Israel protesters.

00:36:11.060 They are marching together, and we would like to join the crowd to ask some questions.

00:36:16.060 How do the British government have labeled the Hamas as a terrorist organization?

00:36:21.060 Yeah, what's very wrong of them?

00:36:23.060 Why?

00:36:24.060 I do support everything, like what's Palestine doing and everything.

00:36:31.060 How things have been in Palestine, nothing can justify that. 1.00

00:36:35.060 At the same time, what Hamas is doing, it is wrong with the civilians, 0.99

00:36:38.060 but you cannot do genocide and kill people in Palestine just because, on the sake of how Hamas is doing things and everything.

00:36:46.060 So, do you think that Hamas is actually a terrorist organization?

00:36:50.060 That's not what he'll say.

00:36:52.060 Yeah.

00:36:53.060 Do you think the Hamas that lead in Gaza are doing good for the citizens?

00:36:59.060 They are fighting. They are just fighting. They've been bombed, they have to fight.

00:37:05.060 Is it equal power? Do you think there is equal power there?

00:37:08.060 Do you think it's fair from the British government to label Hamas as a terrorist organization? Do you think it's fair?

00:37:15.060 No, I don't think so.

00:37:16.060 So, I'm marching right now in the middle of the crowd. There is many different signs.

00:37:22.060 Several thousands of people are here. So, I'm going to try to speak with more people. So, let's check it out.

00:37:29.060 And we are complicit. The UK, the US, France, all these countries, they are complicit in this war. There is blood on everyone's hands. Okay?

00:37:42.060 Do you like being a British? No. No? No. Okay. Thank you very much.

00:37:57.060 From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

00:38:10.060 Can I ask you what the river from the sea means?

00:38:13.060 I'm not... I'm... You'd have to ask somebody who's chanting it. I'm not...

00:38:18.060 Sorry, can you explain to me, they are chanting from the river to the sea, what that means?

00:38:24.060 From the river to the sea! Sorry? Sorry, are you capable to explain to me what the...

00:38:31.060 From the river to the sea means?

00:38:34.060 Ask the one who's chanting it. You don't know?

00:38:37.060 Ask the one who's chanting it. Do you know what that means, what they are chanting from the river to the sea?

00:38:42.060 No. No?

00:38:44.060 Well, it's not what other people seem to think. It's just to give them the freedom that they deserve,

00:38:49.060 just alongside the Jewish people as well.

00:38:52.060 Some people think that is to get rid of the Jews on Israel and get the Palestine land to them.

00:38:59.060 That's just an exaggerated meaning or something that has no context whatsoever.

00:39:04.060 From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

00:39:08.060 From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

00:39:11.060 Okay, you can maybe ask one of the media team. Thank you.

00:39:13.060 You don't know?

00:39:14.060 I'd rather not comment, thank you. I know enough about this topic. Thank you.

00:39:18.060 Okay.

00:39:20.060 He doesn't know about this topic.

00:39:22.060 I spoke to some pro-Gaza protesters who were carrying LGBTQ flags and asked them some questions.

00:39:33.060 Do you think that the LGBTQ community are welcome in Palestine? 1.00

00:39:38.060 I have no idea. I haven't been there.

00:39:41.060 So they would be a warm welcome there?

00:39:44.060 As far as I'm aware, they're far more welcome than they are in other Middle Eastern nations as well.

00:39:51.060 Thank you very much.

00:39:53.060 Hi there.

00:39:54.060 Hi, I have a question for you. Do you think that Palestine and Muslims are pro-LGBTQ?

00:40:05.060 Who are you with?

00:40:08.060 I'm independent press from...

00:40:10.060 Sorry, I'm not going to talk to any independent press about that.

00:40:13.060 I don't think those issues are conflatable.

00:40:15.060 Yeah, I don't think those are too conflatable issues to address. Thank you.

00:40:19.060 So you think that they are really open, the LGBT in Palestine?

00:40:24.060 No, no, no, no.

00:40:27.060 Okay.

00:40:28.060 At one point, near the Vox Hall Bridge, some patriotic protesters triggered the pro-Gaza mob

00:40:35.060 and the police were forced to blockade the patriots in the pub until the protests had passed by.

00:40:43.060 So the police is now, like, separating two groups of people because what it just said to me is like they had a confrontation before.

00:40:52.060 So now they are keeping both sides separated.

00:40:55.060 On Vox Hall Bridge, several of pro-Gaza groups decided to pray in the middle of the road as the police stood by.

00:41:10.060 I saw people were praying. Do you think one day England will be a Muslim country? 0.83

00:41:18.060 I don't think it would ever be a Muslim country, but we see every country is a Muslim country.

00:41:25.060 Yeah.

00:41:26.060 But, and just like that, you know, the Sharia law.

00:41:31.060 Yes.

00:41:32.060 Should we apply it in here?

00:41:34.060 Well, if you look at the country who's got it, there's a lot less crime there, isn't there?

00:41:39.060 So it makes sense, doesn't it?

00:41:41.060 So it makes sense to you apply it?

00:41:43.060 Yeah.

00:41:44.060 One thing I found interesting was the huge presence of left-wing groups like the British Communist Party and the Social Workers.

00:41:53.060 Basically, the most extreme left-wing groups in the UK were present.

00:41:59.060 We believe that only socialism is the only answer to the problems of the Middle East and the conflict that's going on between Israel and Palestine.

00:42:08.060 The march finished at the American Embassy and speakers took the stage to address the crowd.

00:42:15.060 Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who had previously called Hamas our friend, spoke to the crowd.

00:42:24.060 Some of the people in the attendance had some really interesting things to say about what's happening in Israel.

00:42:33.060 If the West feel so sorry for the Israeli Zionists, why don't they give a place in Germany? 1.00

00:42:39.060 Why don't you go to Hitler's back garden and make an occupation there? 0.99

00:42:43.060 Then they will know what kind of people these are.

00:42:46.060 Why every so many hundred years the Zionists get slaughtered? 0.99

00:42:51.060 Because Hitler knew how to deal with these people. 0.96

00:42:55.060 They probably made a program so they can create a state of Israel in the expense of Palestinian Muslims blood. 0.97

00:43:05.060 Who is oppressing them?

00:43:07.060 Who is oppressing them?

00:43:08.060 All you can talk, what happened about Hamas in 7th of October?

00:43:12.060 All happened, nothing happened.

00:43:14.060 That thing happened.

00:43:15.060 If you're going and raping my family for the last hundred years, you think I'm going to let you go?

00:43:20.060 This is just a wake up call.

00:43:22.060 They can kill 10,000, 20,000 Palestinians, but tomorrow there will be 120,000. 0.94

00:43:28.060 You kill one, you get 100 more.

00:43:31.060 She's fire now! She's fire now! She's fire now! She's fire now! She's fire now!

00:43:40.060 From the river to the sea, Father's land will be free!

00:43:52.060 So the event is finishing right now. The speaker just thanks everybody.

00:43:57.060 Now you can see behind me people are leaving slowly, but we will keep yourself updated.

00:44:02.060 If something breaks tonight, we keep our eyes open, but you can follow us at battleforlondon.com

00:44:11.060 and please make a donation if you think that it was worth it that I'm here reporting for you. Thanks.

00:44:22.060 I thought those were amazing. I thought Alexa did a great job in a faraway place.

00:44:34.060 I understand she's going to rerecord one of those en Francais aussi.

00:44:38.060 Hey, I have some of your letters to me. Let me read them.

00:44:40.060 PA2600 says,

00:44:43.060 It's hilarious that UK News calls the Armistice and Remembrance Day people far right or alt-right.

00:44:49.060 Many are veterans. They're patriots of the UK.

00:44:52.060 Well, yeah, it's just incredible. There have been these hate marches, hate rallies for Hamas for weeks,

00:44:59.060 and the media would never call them far this or fall that or extreme anything.

00:45:03.060 But some British patriots say, hey, can we please have one day a year to respect our war debt?

00:45:08.060 And they're far right.

00:45:10.060 Kodana Hayes says,

00:45:12.060 Thank you for being honest by calling them pro-Hamas. 1.00

00:45:14.060 Well, I think they are. In fact, there's a couple of people who go as sort of an experiment

00:45:18.060 to take a sign that says, Free Gaza from Hamas.

00:45:21.060 And they're immediately beat up or, in some cases, the police take their placards away.

00:45:26.060 Someone with the nickname Big Donor says,

00:45:30.060 I remember the Montreal cops targeting Jews during COVID.

00:45:33.060 So they helped prepare the environment for the current anti-Jew protests and violence against Jews post-COVID.

00:45:39.060 I don't think I would draw that connection.

00:45:41.060 What I would learn from the over-enforcement of COVID laws against the Jewish community 0.88

00:45:45.060 is that the police can be brutal when they want to be.

00:45:48.060 And that's usually when it's easy.

00:45:50.060 I mean, Orthodox Jews in Montreal, they don't fight back. 1.00

00:45:53.060 They don't bomb you or stab you or shoot you.

00:45:56.060 They don't go on a riot.

00:45:57.060 So it's pretty easy to be a brave enforcer when you're dealing with, let's say, a hundred Orthodox Jews in Montreal. 0.59

00:46:03.060 But take on 10,000 Hamas supporters getting whipped up by some jihad preacher like Zakaria Moussaoui.

00:46:14.060 And the police are terrified.

00:46:16.060 I think that's what we saw in the UK on the weekend also.

00:46:18.060 The police know they can handle some patriotic Brits who like Remembrance Day

00:46:22.060 because they're not going to try anything.

00:46:24.060 But try wrestling with a hundred thousand or more Hamas supporters.

00:46:28.060 That's our show for the day.

00:46:31.060 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,

00:46:36.060 goodnight, and keep fighting for freedom.
