00:00:00.360 Hello, my friends. I was out on the streets today because I happened to live amongst various
00:00:05.260 Jewish synagogues and schools, and overnight, two more synagogues got hit with arson attacks.
00:00:11.980 I'll be on the scene and show you what it looked like. I'll also talk to a community
00:00:16.940 organizer who's against anti-Semitism. His name is Mayor Weinstein. I'd like to show
00:00:21.880 you what I saw. I'd like you to see the broken windows, the arson, things like that. So make

00:00:50.820 Tonight, three days, four anti-Semitic arson attacks. It's July 31st, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:57.760 We fight for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:01:12.780 You know, I haven't attended too many pro-Hamas rallies lately. I went to one or two in London
00:01:19.240 just because they were enormous, and I wanted to get a glimpse of our future in Canada if
00:01:24.720 we have unrestrained mass immigration. I've seen a few of them around Canada, but frankly,
00:01:30.960 our reporters have gone to those more often than I have. David Menzies, for example, including
00:01:35.600 here in Toronto. I did pop by the University of British Columbia encampment, and there was
00:01:40.980 one at McGill. In fact, some Antifa pro-Hamas people attacked our reporter, Alex Lava. You
00:01:47.800 might, you might remember that one. Take a look.

00:02:29.240 Rebel News!
00:02:31.240 They call it!
00:02:33.240 Rebel News!
00:02:35.240 They call it!
00:02:37.240 Rebel News!
00:02:39.240 They call it!
00:02:41.240 Bye bye!
00:02:43.240 Call it!
00:02:45.240 What do you understand?
00:02:47.240 Look! Look!
00:02:49.240 Hey! 0.99

00:02:53.240 Hey! 0.99
00:02:59.240 Hey! 0.99
00:03:01.240 Call it!
00:03:03.240 But I haven't really gone out to a lot of them.
00:03:05.240 But trouble is,
00:03:07.240 they've come to me. I live in
00:03:09.240 Toronto, as you may know, in a district called
00:03:11.240 York Centre. Our MP is
00:03:13.240 Yara Sachs, an utter disgrace.
00:03:15.240 But just by chance,
00:03:17.240 geographically, I am near,
00:03:19.240 I guess it's not by chance,
00:03:21.240 I am near a number of Jewish schools
00:03:23.240 and Jewish synagogues.
00:03:25.240 And so in recent weeks, I see on my phone
00:03:27.240 information that this school
00:03:29.240 had its window smashed,
00:03:31.240 or that school was shot at,
00:03:33.240 or that synagogue had a Molotov cocktail
00:03:35.240 thrown at it.
00:03:37.240 And I'm thinking, oh, that's just down the street.
00:03:39.240 I mean, one of them happened so close
00:03:41.240 to my house I could walk there.
00:03:43.240 And so it just so happens
00:03:45.240 that I sometimes wake up,
00:03:47.240 get the news on my phone,
00:03:49.240 and I go straight there on my own.
00:03:51.240 I mean, here's an example of a synagogue
00:03:53.240 called Pride of Israel.
00:03:55.240 And ironically, it was on Pride Parade Day
00:03:57.240 that they had all those windows smashed.
00:03:59.240 It was just a quick snippet of me
00:04:01.240 going to this nearby synagogue.
00:04:03.240 Ezra Levant standing in front
00:04:05.240 of the Pride of Israel Synagogue
00:04:07.240 in North Toronto.
00:04:09.240 It's ironic, today is Pride Parade Day in Toronto,
00:04:13.240 and the Toronto Police have tweeted out
00:04:15.240 a bunch of tweets celebrating Pride.
00:04:17.240 I think this synagogue was named before Pride
00:04:19.240 took on its current connotations.
00:04:21.240 I think we should tell the Toronto Police
00:04:23.240 that this is a gay synagogue,
00:04:25.240 so maybe they'd give a damn.
00:04:27.240 I don't know if you can see,
00:04:29.240 but its windows were absolutely smashed.
00:04:33.240 I'm told this happened in the wee hours this morning.
00:04:37.240 You can see broken glass everywhere.
00:04:41.240 The door is open to the synagogue.
00:04:47.240 Just open.
00:04:49.240 There's one police officer who was here taking pictures.
00:04:55.240 No one else is here.
00:04:57.240 I see rocks in there.
00:04:59.240 I don't know if those rocks were used to smash things or not.
00:05:03.240 I'm not going to go inside because,
00:05:05.240 well, I'm just not going to go inside.
00:05:09.240 Where is everybody?
00:05:11.240 Where's the police?
00:05:13.240 I mean, they took some pictures.
00:05:14.240 Thanks very little.
00:05:15.240 Where's the local MP,
00:05:17.240 Ya'ara Sachs, who's Jewish herself,
00:05:19.240 as the name suggests?
00:05:21.240 I don't think she gives a damn.
00:05:23.240 She flew to meet the head of the PLO
00:05:25.240 and gave him a loving handshake
00:05:28.240 and smiled for his selfie with him.
00:05:30.240 Where's Justin Trudeau?
00:05:32.240 He's probably sleeping off his hangover
00:05:34.240 from his party last night.
00:05:35.240 He doesn't give a damn about Jews.
00:05:37.240 Or more accurately,
00:05:38.240 he knows that there's 400,000 Jews in Canada
00:05:42.240 and about 2 million Muslims in Canada
00:05:44.240 and he can do the math.
00:05:45.240 The future, under our Mass Immigration Canada, 0.99
00:05:49.240 the future is pro-Hamas. 0.98
00:05:51.240 The future is more anti-Semitic violence like this.
00:05:55.240 And the other day, I heard that a school bus was torched,
00:05:58.240 but when I heard where it was,
00:06:00.240 I thought, I know where that is.
00:06:03.240 There's a synagogue nearby
00:06:05.240 and there are Jewish school buses,
00:06:07.240 and that's what I was doing on Monday.
00:06:08.240 Remember that?
00:06:09.240 Let's look at this burnt-out school bus.
00:06:11.240 I heard about it on social media.
00:06:14.240 They said there's a school bus on fire.
00:06:17.240 It, quote, caught fire at 5 a.m. this morning.
00:06:21.240 Police don't know why.
00:06:22.240 Really?
00:06:23.240 So, actually, it's not too far away
00:06:25.240 from the home of Ya'ara Sachs.
00:06:27.240 This is in York Centre.
00:06:29.240 Ya'ara Sachs is the local Member of Parliament
00:06:32.240 in this heavily Jewish district.
00:06:34.240 You can see another shot of the vehicle just torched.
00:06:39.240 There's a bunch of other vehicles here.
00:06:41.240 More school buses.
00:06:43.240 More school buses.
00:06:45.240 What are these school buses?
00:06:47.240 And why would one catch fire at 5 a.m.?
00:06:51.240 Well, these school buses are for Jewish schools.
00:06:54.240 In fact, you can see the markings on them.
00:06:57.240 That says Bobov.
00:06:59.240 That's the name of a Jewish school around here.
00:07:03.240 And in fact, let me just show you.
00:07:04.240 I'm walking around a little bit more.
00:07:06.240 That's a large Jewish synagogue right back there.
00:07:10.240 But these aren't just any old school buses.
00:07:13.240 These are Jewish school buses.
00:07:15.240 And every single one of them has markings that says Banos Bez Chaya in Toronto.
00:07:23.240 That's another Jewish school nearby.
00:07:25.240 So why do you think this school bus caught fire at 5 a.m.?
00:07:31.240 Anyways, my point is I'm just personally geographically surrounded by enough Jewish things that I'm starting to detect firsthand personally the anti-Semitic crime wave that has happened in Canada over the last 10 months.
00:07:47.240 Now, perhaps some of that is unavoidable, but I don't think so.
00:07:51.240 There were attempts to set up pro-Hamas hate marches on various campuses in the United States, too.
00:07:58.240 And, of course, they have their First Amendment freedom.
00:08:00.240 So even uncomfortable, brutal, hateful speech is protected by the First Amendment.
00:08:08.240 But that doesn't apply if it is on private property, if there's other rules in place.
00:08:13.240 And so there was some amazing footage of American universities clearing out these pro-Hamas mobs.
00:08:21.240 Maybe you've seen some of this footage.
00:08:23.240 I just love this guy in his kind of stetson. Take a look.
00:08:28.240 This is the University of Southern California, one of many flashpoints across the country.
00:08:35.240 The police have issued a dispersal order on the USC campus.
00:08:39.240 They've warned students that if they remain here, they will be arrested.
00:08:44.240 The kids are better getting killed.
00:08:46.240 By Hamas terrorists.
00:08:48.240 By Hamas terrorists?
00:08:49.240 By Yatanya Hu and Biden.
00:08:51.240 Tease!
00:08:52.240 And I remember very early on in Florida, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, announced that if any university groups were materially aiding terrorist groups, they would be banished from any Florida university.
00:09:08.240 And again, he did not censor First Amendment protected speech.
00:09:12.240 He said if you are organizing, working with, financing, harboring, whatever, the kind of words that are in our Canadian criminal code, he would shut down those hate groups immediately.
00:09:22.240 And indeed he did. And my reason for telling you that is it didn't have to be that Canada became home to these atrocious hate in Canada.
00:09:32.240 I mean, of course, it happened in the United States and New York City as well, extreme universities like Columbia.
00:09:38.240 But in Canada, it's been because every single institution has capitulated.
00:09:43.240 I think there's been no moral leadership.
00:09:46.240 Justin Trudeau, on behalf of the federal government, not only abetted and abides them, but he has sided in international forums with Hamas and has sent tens of millions of dollars to the Hamas front group called UNRWA.
00:09:59.240 On the provincial level, you've seen most provincial premiers in Canada just wanting to stay very quiet about it because they know that the anti-Semitic vote is now quite large.
00:10:11.240 Especially in Ontario, where Doug Ford is actually the political leader who has the prosecutors.
00:10:18.240 As you may know, in Canada, the criminal code is written by the federal government, but it is prosecuted by provincial prosecutors.
00:10:25.240 So that's Doug Ford's turf. That's Francois Legault's turf. You can't blame that on Trudeau.
00:10:31.240 And of course, there's the local police departments.
00:10:34.240 Toronto, led by a socialist mayor, Olivia Chow, is all too happy to turn a blind eye to Islamic extremism because she knows those are her voters. 0.91
00:10:45.240 So I think we've had nine months of the Overton window shifting, nine months of protesters, university woke protesters, but especially foreign born, foreign visa holder nationals in Canada, realizing to their shock what they can get away with. 0.86
00:11:07.240 And the answer is, they can get away with everything. They have yet to find a limit of what they can or can't get away with, like a baby testing limits.
00:11:16.240 So how can I go this far? Can I get away with this? The answer is being in Canada, you can get away with everything.
00:11:22.240 Everything. And so there's a new normal. And so thank God no one in Canada has been killed by these little acts of terrorism.
00:11:30.240 But it wouldn't surprise me if one day someone is. Now, attacking a school or a synagogue in the dead of night with a Molotov cocktail is unlikely to kill someone. 0.68
00:11:40.240 But it is a form of terrorism by definition. It's designed to terrify and terrorize people for political reasons and to aim at some sort of political result.
00:11:50.240 Terrorism has become normalized in Canada. And speaking for the neighborhoods I live in, people are scared.
00:11:57.240 People in Canada, Jewish Canadians who have had a life of total integration and harmony in the community are now talking about moving away.
00:12:06.240 Some are talking about moving to Israel, even though they're in a war, at least they know who their enemy is and they'll call it out.
00:12:13.240 Others want to move to places like Florida, where they know that there is a strong, freedom-oriented, nationalistic leader who's going to protect against especially foreign meddlers.
00:12:24.240 It makes me extremely sad to see what I've seen in Canada in recent days.
00:12:29.240 Today I went to a synagogue, I'm going to show you in a moment, and I saw a plaque on the front that it was this rock, this foundation stone was laid in 1980.
00:12:40.240 So the synagogue is about 44 years old, and I thought to myself, 1980 was sort of the golden age for Jews in Canada. 0.96
00:12:49.240 There was no anti-Semitism in Canada. I mean, one in a million. I grew up west of Calgary.
00:12:56.240 My family was the only Jew for miles around. We never faced anti-Semitism. The opposite.
00:13:01.240 People were genuinely curious. They wanted to know more. What does it mean to be Jewish?
00:13:06.240 Everyone was so friendly. The friendliest country, so accepting, such a high-trust society.
00:13:12.240 It was wonderful for Jews, and Jews shined. They excelled at whatever their professions were.
00:13:17.240 They had synagogues and Jewish centers, and they were friends with their neighbors, and there was no animosity at all.
00:13:23.240 That's changed very much. Not that old stock Canadians have changed, but the Canada of 2024 is very different than the Canada of 1980. 0.52
00:13:33.240 Now, I think most immigrants to Canada do not bear malice or anti-Semitism towards the Jews.
00:13:39.240 I don't think they do, but an enormous number do, simply because we are taking people from lands that are endemically anti-Semitic. 0.82
00:13:48.240 Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Somalia. These are places that hate Jews.
00:13:57.240 And we're just bringing in people without screening them whatsoever for cultural fit.
00:14:03.240 As you may know, to immigrate to Canada these days, you don't even meet anyone.
00:14:07.240 You're not even interviewed. It's an all-paperwork, all-electronic application.
00:14:12.240 I think Canada has swamped itself. Some of it is just economic free riders.
00:14:19.240 Some of it is just regular criminals.
00:14:22.240 But some of it is also anti-Semitic criminals who want to use violence to settle ancient scores.
00:14:28.240 So for today's show, I'm going to take you to a couple of places that I just happened to be in the neighborhood.
00:14:35.240 Two different synagogues that had a sign out front of their building torched last night.
00:14:42.240 In addition to the Jewish school yesterday and the Jewish school bus the day before.
00:14:47.240 Then I'm going to show you an interview with Mayor Weinstein, who's been a Jewish activist on the streets for a while.
00:14:53.240 And then later tonight, I'm going to go to a town hall meeting at one of these attacked synagogues called the Pride of Israel, 1.00
00:15:00.240 where if they let us in, hopefully we'll have a chance to put questions to Ya'ara Sachs.
00:15:05.240 I understand the mayor might be there, the provincial solicitor general, and the conservative MP Melissa Lansman.
00:15:12.240 I'll see what they have to say and whether or not they take questions from Rebel News.
00:15:16.240 All right.
00:15:17.240 Here's today's show with me on the streets.
00:15:28.240 Ezra Levant here, Rebel News.
00:15:29.240 Another day, another anti-Semitic arson incident in Toronto.
00:15:33.240 I'm in North Toronto right now outside a synagogue called Kehillah Tshare Torah.
00:15:38.240 And at 2.30 a.m., these signs outside the synagogue were torched.
00:15:44.240 They were burnt by an arsonist on a motorbike.
00:15:47.240 The debris has been cleaned up before I came here today, but this happened short hours ago.
00:15:53.240 Now, the synagogue has put this small sign here as sort of a statement against the arson, but you can see what they burnt.
00:16:00.240 That poster used to say, bring them home now.
00:16:03.240 And I don't know if you can see, but there's pictures of some of the children taken hostage by Hamas.
00:16:09.240 I don't know what this sign would have said.
00:16:11.240 This one says, standing against hate is what we do.
00:16:15.240 Well, actually, that poster is the one that is standing.
00:16:20.240 The rest have been torched.
00:16:22.240 This synagogue, they tell me, gets hit about once a month.
00:16:27.240 You can see a smashed window there.
00:16:30.240 There's now a polycarbonate window that is higher strength.
00:16:34.240 Around the front, we saw where an airsoft gun was shot at a window.
00:16:39.240 A dead raccoon was left there.
00:16:41.240 This place, we're told, gets attacked about once a month.
00:16:45.240 And police always say, tut, tut, there, there.
00:16:47.240 It's nothing.
00:16:50.240 Is it nothing?
00:16:51.240 Three arsons in three days.
00:16:53.240 Two days ago, I showed you a school bus that had been torched.
00:16:57.240 It was a Jewish school bus for a Jewish school marked as a Jewish school bus.
00:17:02.240 Arson.
00:17:03.240 The police and the media downplayed it.
00:17:05.240 Yesterday, I took you to the Leo Beck Day School in North Toronto.
00:17:10.240 Huge fire.
00:17:11.240 They said, oh, it was a homeless person.
00:17:13.240 No hate here.
00:17:14.240 Really?
00:17:15.240 Who is this homeless person?
00:17:16.240 I'd like to know his name.
00:17:17.240 Why hasn't he been arrested and charged?
00:17:20.240 And this morning, this new arson incident.
00:17:24.240 I'm told there's another synagogue a few miles away that got hit with arson as well.
00:17:29.240 So I'm going to go there next.
00:17:30.240 Do you think for a second, if in three days in a row, there were three Muslim mosques
00:17:36.240 and Muslim schools in a row that were torched.
00:17:39.240 That there would be this blase attitude by the federal government.
00:17:43.240 Justin Trudeau would cut his Tofino surfing vacation short.
00:17:46.240 The provincial government would launch a police investigation.
00:17:51.240 The mayor would be here having a press conference.
00:17:55.240 They don't give a damn.
00:17:56.240 Or perhaps more accurately, they care a little bit, but they care a lot more about the fact
00:18:02.240 that Canada now has millions of new immigrants who come from countries that hate Jews and
00:18:07.240 hate Israel because we haven't screened.
00:18:09.240 And so if you're the mayor, the premier, the prime minister, and you look around and
00:18:13.240 you realize there are now millions of people in Canada who believe in antisemitism and even
00:18:18.240 violence.
00:18:19.240 And sure, there's a handful of Jews who were upset because their synagogue was torched,
00:18:23.240 but you're not going to take a stand.
00:18:25.240 That's why the Toronto police allowed an illegal Hamas hate encampment at U of T to break the
00:18:31.240 law for months.
00:18:32.240 It happened the same way at UBC, at McGill, around the country.
00:18:37.240 This is the new Canada.
00:18:39.240 I despise it when politicians say, that's not Canada.
00:18:43.240 That's not my Canada.
00:18:44.240 Oh, yes, it is.
00:18:46.240 This is the Canada that our politicians have made by bringing in mass, unvetted immigration 1.00
00:18:52.240 and turning a blind eye and basically winking at terrorists.
00:18:57.240 I say the word terrorists because what's the definition of terrorism?
00:19:01.240 Violence or the threat of violence to achieve a political result.
00:19:05.240 Well, that's exactly what's going on around Canada today.
00:19:09.240 You could say it's a lone wolf or a rogue actor, but we know for a fact, for example, that
00:19:15.240 Iran has 700 operatives in Canada and other activists are free to Rome.
00:19:21.240 The terrorist group, Sami Doun, that's banned in other countries, operates in the open in
00:19:26.240 Canada.
00:19:27.240 Do you really think the attack last night on this synagogue was unrelated, for example, to
00:19:32.240 Israel killing the boss of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh?
00:19:36.240 I believe that Canada is in this war against terror, even if we don't want to acknowledge
00:19:43.240 it.
00:19:44.240 Now, I'm going to go to the other synagogue and see if it was Torch 2.
00:19:47.240 Ezra Levant here at another North Toronto synagogue.
00:19:50.240 This one called Temple Sinai.
00:19:52.240 It's only about eight minutes away from the synagogue we were just at.
00:19:57.240 And for reference, it's about four minutes away from where we saw the Torch school bus
00:20:03.240 two days ago.
00:20:04.240 And all of this is about 15 minutes away from the Torch Jewish school.
00:20:09.240 Again, I'm here.
00:20:10.240 Well, let's see what time it is.
00:20:13.240 I'm not here early enough to find this before it was cleaned up.
00:20:18.240 But there was a sign here, just like this one here and this one here, that was torched
00:20:23.240 this morning.
00:20:24.240 I didn't find out about it quickly enough to get down here before it was cleaned up.
00:20:29.240 You can see there's still a piece they haven't cleaned up.
00:20:33.240 What's my point?
00:20:35.240 In three days, four Jewish institutions in a 20 minute radius of Toronto have been hit
00:20:44.240 by arson.
00:20:46.240 In the first case of the school bus, police were silent.
00:20:50.240 They said, oh, there's no indicia that it's a hate crime.
00:20:53.240 Really?
00:20:54.240 It was a school bus marked for a Jewish school parked next to a synagogue.
00:20:58.240 The next day, they said, oh, that Jewish school that was torched and smashed?
00:21:04.240 That was a homeless person.
00:21:05.240 It was arson, but the good kind of arson, not the anti-Semitic kind.
00:21:09.240 And today, two synagogues, the one on Bayview and this one on Wilson, had their signs torched.
00:21:17.240 Now, I'm looking around and I can see a surveillance camera over there, but I don't know how much
00:21:24.240 good a surveillance camera does if you're dealing with a sophisticated operator.
00:21:29.240 And what we've seen at many of these vandalism torchings is someone on a motorbike with a
00:21:35.240 helmet, you can't see their face, and if their motorbike is parked out of the field of view,
00:21:41.240 it's unlikely you would see a license plate if there even is one.
00:21:46.240 That sounds fairly sophisticated to me, to know where these synagogues are within this 0.90
00:21:52.240 region, to scope them out, and to have the material to cause a great fire, especially
00:21:57.240 that first school bus.
00:21:59.240 It is not easy to light a school bus on fire, I would imagine.
00:22:03.240 But it was done, and the school was torched, and these signs were torched.
00:22:09.240 If these were mosques, if these were pride parade headquarters, if this was another favored
00:22:17.240 group, the whole country would be in five alarm mode.
00:22:21.240 But they're just Jews, and everybody knows who the suspects are. 0.93
00:22:26.240 They're people you're not allowed to talk about, because that would be racist.
00:22:30.240 For Rebel News, I'm Ezra LeVant.
00:22:41.240 So those were two synagogues that were attacked late last night.
00:22:45.240 I think it's, I guess, sort of easy to light a sign on fire, but I'm not sure if I would
00:22:51.240 know how to light a sign on fire in like one minute that quickly to do it so you're not
00:22:57.240 caught.
00:22:58.240 Because you're carrying some sort of fuel on you.
00:23:01.240 To burn a school takes a lot more.
00:23:04.240 And of course, to torch a school bus, well, I simply wouldn't know how to do that.
00:23:09.240 It would take me an hour, I imagine, and I wouldn't even succeed.
00:23:12.240 My point is, I don't think these are amateurs or crimes of opportunity, just someone stumbling
00:23:17.240 upon something.
00:23:18.240 I think these are planned, strategized, organized, funded terrorist attacks.
00:23:24.240 What do you think?
00:23:25.240 Here's my interview with Jewish community activist Mayor Weinstein.
00:23:30.240 I'm with Mayor Weinstein, one of the few Jews in Toronto who is willing to stand up and really 0.51
00:23:35.240 push back against anti-Semitism.
00:23:37.240 My feeling is that the official Jewish community is far too polite and far too bureaucratic.
00:23:44.240 And they care about their relationships with the police chief and the premier.
00:23:48.240 So they don't dare say the obvious, which is that Toronto in particular and Canada at large,
00:23:54.240 has an anti-Semitic crime wave that's not going away.
00:23:57.240 What do you think of this, the third arson in three days?
00:24:01.240 The Jewish community is under siege.
00:24:04.240 There's no question about it.
00:24:06.240 The politicians, they're not doing anything about it.
00:24:10.240 Certainly not from the Liberal Party.
00:24:12.240 And it's outrageous.
00:24:13.240 And the tactics of the Jewish community has to change.
00:24:17.240 Well, you mentioned the Liberal Party.
00:24:19.240 Obviously, I find them odious myself.
00:24:21.240 And they really set the tone in foreign affairs.
00:24:24.240 The prosecutions and policing are done at the provincial level and the city level.
00:24:29.240 In Ontario, that's Doug Ford and Olivia Chow in Toronto.
00:24:33.240 I think it is every institution, universities.
00:24:36.240 Why is every institution afraid to stand up?
00:24:39.240 I think it's because we've had mass immigration from anti-Semitic countries.
00:24:44.240 And we now have millions of people in Canada who think it's normal to have violence against Jews.
00:24:50.240 I just think there's no beating around the bush.
00:24:53.240 When this synagogue was founded 45 years ago, it wasn't that way.
00:24:57.240 But I think politicians see where the masses are.
00:25:00.240 And they say, sorry, Jews, you're just not numerous enough.
00:25:03.240 Listen, 100%.
00:25:04.240 I remember when there was a big issue here about Nazi war criminals living in Canada.
00:25:11.240 And I testified at the Duchesne Commission and I knew the issue 100%.
00:25:17.240 And Canada actually had on their application to come to Canada,
00:25:21.240 whether you were part, a member of various Nazi organizations then.
00:25:27.240 And if you were, that's grounds for deportation from Canada.
00:25:31.240 They don't screen anyone that comes from these Islamic countries that have ties
00:25:36.240 or believe 100% in Hamas, Hezbollah, any of these listed terrorist organizations.
00:25:44.240 And they say it openly, we support Hamas. 0.80
00:25:46.240 What do you expect is going to happen here?
00:25:48.240 That's a great point.
00:25:49.240 We used to screen for Nazis. 0.78
00:25:50.240 I think we used to screen for communists.
00:25:52.240 And the reason is national security.
00:25:54.240 We're doing the opposite now.
00:25:56.240 We're literally bringing in thousands of people from Gaza.
00:25:59.240 And Gaza, at least a bureaucracy, is still controlled by Hamas.
00:26:03.240 Hamas are choosing the people that are applying to come to Canada. 0.83
00:26:08.240 It's astonishing.
00:26:10.240 And you're right.
00:26:11.240 When I listen to these street marches by the Hamas people, 1.00
00:26:14.240 they're overwhelmingly either in foreign languages or foreign accents.
00:26:18.240 These are not Canadian, old stock Canadians. 1.00
00:26:20.240 You have a few woke, extreme progressives.
00:26:23.240 But we are basically importing the violence of the Middle East to Canada. 0.99
00:26:28.240 And it's atrocious.
00:26:30.240 We're doing that.
00:26:31.240 And at the top level in the Islamic community, unfortunately, the major Islamic organizations 0.92
00:26:38.240 facilitates this.
00:26:39.240 They hold assemblies where they're calling on the community to come and listen to speakers
00:26:47.240 that preach outright anti-Semitism support for these terrorist organizations, certainly
00:26:52.240 in theory.
00:26:53.240 And there's no blowback.
00:26:56.240 You know, I just wish there was a single mosque in the country that would have condemned the 1.00
00:27:02.240 October 7th attack, that would condemn the calls for intifadas on the street.
00:27:08.240 I know there are individual Muslims who are appalled by that, but I haven't seen any organizations.
00:27:14.240 There are some small boutique organizations.
00:27:17.240 Our friend Raheel Raza at, you know, Muslims Facing Tomorrow and Zutty Jasser in the States.
00:27:26.240 But they're really individuals.
00:27:28.240 They're intellectuals.
00:27:29.240 I don't see any mass movement.
00:27:31.240 I don't see any mosques.
00:27:33.240 Like in the world of churches, in the world of synagogues, you've got right-wing churches
00:27:37.240 and left-wing churches, right-wing synagogues and left-wing synagogues.
00:27:41.240 In the world of Canadian mosques, I am unaware of a single mosque that has congregants that
00:27:47.240 has condemned the violence or the calls for violence.
00:27:49.240 Are you aware of any?
00:27:50.240 Because, boy, I'd love to give them a shout out if there was one.
00:27:53.240 I'm not aware of any mosques here.
00:27:55.240 I am aware of mosques that facilitate, that have bus pickups for Al Quds Day and et cetera, et cetera.
00:28:03.240 I haven't seen one mosque that will condemn Hamas or Hezbollah or Iran for that.
00:28:10.240 I haven't seen it.
00:28:12.240 Well, you know what?
00:28:13.240 There is no physical reason why Canada, which has been such a safe and lovely home for Jews
00:28:23.240 for more than a century, there's no reason why it must stay that way.
00:28:28.240 If we bring in millions of people who want to fundamentally change our country, our country 1.00
00:28:33.240 will not stay that way.
00:28:34.240 I mean, to look over the sweep of time, Istanbul was once called Constantinople.
00:28:39.240 It was once the largest and richest Christian city in the world.
00:28:43.240 Egypt was once a Christian country.
00:28:45.240 Iraq was. 0.88
00:28:47.240 Syria was. 0.95
00:28:48.240 These things change.
00:28:49.240 Bethlehem itself, Nazareth itself have had the Christian populations purged.
00:28:54.240 There is no iron law why Canada should stay a liberal democracy friendly to Jews. 1.00
00:29:01.240 If we import people by the million who want to change our nature, our nature will be changed. 1.00
00:29:07.240 Last word to you.
00:29:08.240 Liberal Party is embracing these people.
00:29:10.240 Well, they came under Stephen Harper, too.
00:29:13.240 Under Stephen Harper, immigration reached enormous levels also.
00:29:16.240 It's all parties.
00:29:18.240 Wouldn't you think?
00:29:19.240 I haven't heard Pierre Poliev come out against immigration in any major way.
00:29:22.240 Have you?
00:29:23.240 That's an excellent point.
00:29:26.240 And I fully agree with you about that.
00:29:28.240 I remember discussing that when Harper was prime minister, 100%.
00:29:33.240 What are you doing about the Islamic immigration from these countries?
00:29:36.240 Are you screening them?
00:29:38.240 Are you?
00:29:39.240 No.
00:29:40.240 I would love to take liberal Muslims, progressive Muslims, secular Muslims.
00:29:45.240 I would love, you know, I already mentioned my friend Raheel Raza.
00:29:48.240 There are intellectual, peaceful people who say, I can practice my, I mean, listen, look at Dubai.
00:29:54.240 Look at the United Arab Emirates.
00:29:56.240 That's a Islamic country.
00:29:58.240 But they are peaceful.
00:30:01.240 They're a friend to all religions.
00:30:04.240 Even in last year, I was in the United Arab Emirates.
00:30:07.240 The government built a synagogue in Abu Dhabi.
00:30:10.240 They don't have Hamas hate marches in the streets in the UAE.
00:30:14.240 They don't even have them in Saudi Arabia anymore.
00:30:16.240 I want that kind of if, you know, Daniel Pipe says the problem is radical Islam.
00:30:22.240 The answer is moderate Islam. 0.96
00:30:24.240 And I don't think you can wish away Islam.
00:30:27.240 There's a billion and a half Muslims.
00:30:29.240 What you can do is support moderates and screen out extremists.
00:30:34.240 We've done the opposite in Canada.
00:30:35.240 It would be amazing if there were mosques here, Islamic organizations here, real Islamic
00:30:41.240 organizations here, that embraced the Abraham Accords and would say, no, no, no, we want peace
00:30:46.240 with Israel.
00:30:47.240 Look at what Gaza could have become. 0.92
00:30:49.240 It could have been Dubai.
00:30:51.240 You look at Tel Aviv with their phenomenal beaches and successful economy.
00:30:56.240 It's beautiful, thriving.
00:30:58.240 And Gaza could have been thriving.
00:31:01.240 Like they said, the Singapore in the Middle East.
00:31:04.240 It's not.
00:31:05.240 It's a garbage dump.
00:31:06.240 And they support that.
00:31:07.240 That's what they support because their whole objective is unbridled hatred for Jews. 1.00
00:31:14.240 Well, it's the world we live in.
00:31:16.240 Thanks for talking with us.
00:31:17.240 Thank you.
00:31:18.240 All right.
00:31:19.240 Hey, here's your letters to me.
00:31:31.240 This one is about 100% of Canadians in focus groups disagreeing with Trudeau's immigration
00:31:37.240 policy.
00:31:38.240 John Cherezna says, the only focus group Trudeau obeys are the ones from his masters at the
00:31:45.240 UN and World Economic Forum.
00:31:47.240 You know, in a way, I don't think that's actually true.
00:31:50.240 I've been thinking about that a lot.
00:31:51.240 I mean, I've been following Trudeau for quite a while.
00:31:53.240 And I was very interested when one of his first foreign trips in, I think it was January
00:31:58.240 2016, just months after he was first elected, he went to the World Economic Forum.
00:32:02.240 And that's where he was introduced to George Soros, courtesy of Soros's former official biographer,
00:32:08.240 Christia Freeland.
00:32:10.240 And I think Trudeau loves going to those things.
00:32:12.240 He loves swanning around with celebrities.
00:32:14.240 You might remember Bono from the band U2 was there.
00:32:17.240 And Kevin Lacey, sorry, Kevin Spacey, excuse me.
00:32:22.240 And I think he likes going to the UN and showing his fancy socks and being sort of like a mascot
00:32:30.240 for Canada.
00:32:31.240 But I actually don't think he is scheming enough, smart enough, sober minded enough to take orders
00:32:39.240 from the UN or the World Economic Forum.
00:32:41.240 Like I think Christia Freeland obviously does. 1.00
00:32:44.240 She's on the board of the World Economic Forum.
00:32:46.240 I think Trudeau is just a megalomaniac.
00:32:50.240 I think he's just has a messiah complex.
00:32:53.240 And he just does authoritarian things.
00:32:56.240 I think it's a personality trait.
00:32:58.240 I think he thinks he's a special human being.
00:33:02.240 I think he has some sort of feeling that he's a man of destiny, born on Christmas Day, son
00:33:09.240 of Pierre Trudeau.
00:33:10.240 And then he has some sort of divine right to rule.
00:33:12.240 And when I saw Kian Bexte talk to him about why won't you step down given how low you are
00:33:18.240 on the polls, I think that really shone through.
00:33:21.240 Here's a quick clip of that if you don't remember.
00:33:23.240 Are you concerned at all about your poll numbers?
00:33:25.240 No.
00:33:26.240 No.
00:33:27.240 What causes you to not be concerned?
00:33:28.240 Because I spend a lot of time talking with Canadians.
00:33:31.240 A lot of time focusing on the things that we're doing to actually deliver for people.
00:33:36.240 I think that Trudeau genuinely doesn't care about the polls.
00:33:40.240 And he absolutely doesn't care about what his fellow MPs in the Liberal Caucus think.
00:33:45.240 Because that's not what he thinks power is about.
00:33:49.240 He wants power.
00:33:51.240 And polls and elections and votes and political parties are just tools to keep him in power.
00:33:56.240 So right now he's in power.
00:33:57.240 Believe it or not, according to our constitution, he could stay as long as 2026.
00:34:03.240 So why would he quit now just because some irrelevant poll or whiny baby MP doesn't like him?
00:34:09.240 I think to understand Justin Trudeau is not that he's an ideologue so much.
00:34:14.240 He's an authoritarian tyrant.
00:34:17.240 Next letter about the Jewish school that was firebombed yesterday, I guess.
00:34:22.240 Tammy Mee says,
00:34:24.240 A politicized police who sides with the Islamists would like to gaslight you to not believe your lying eyes.
00:34:31.240 Look, I don't have all the information.
00:34:34.240 I've had a lot of interesting observers say things to me.
00:34:38.240 For example, a fireman just wrote to me and said, look, Ezra, actually, I think if the fire was beneath the window in that school, the fire would have broken the window.
00:34:47.240 OK, I take his expertise.
00:34:50.240 I believe him.
00:34:53.240 But who was he?
00:34:55.240 And what's his name?
00:34:57.240 And was he indeed a homeless person?
00:34:59.240 If so, he must have been easy to find.
00:35:01.240 Why wasn't he arrested and charged?
00:35:03.240 Even if there was no hate element in the arson, it's still arson.
00:35:09.240 Why wasn't he arrested?
00:35:10.240 Why don't we know his name?
00:35:11.240 There's too many unanswered questions.
00:35:13.240 And I'm afraid after a year of bending the knee to Islamic extremism, I don't think the Toronto police got the benefit of the doubt.
00:35:20.240 That's our show for today.
00:35:22.240 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
00:35:26.240 And keep fighting for freedom.
00:35:28.240 Thank you.
00:35:29.240 Thank you.
