In this episode, I talk about anti-Semitism in Canada, and how it's much more widespread than just the fringe right wing groups and fringe left wing groups, and much more. I also talk about how the Canadian government and media have been soft-pedaling Israel's actions in Gaza, and why this is anti-Semitic.
00:00:00.000What me and Daniel Boardman have been saying over the past four years has been proven absolutely correct just by looking through social media that if you're looking for anti-Semitism in Canada, the best way of finding is going to find a politically left wing movement because anti-Semitism in Canada is very mainstream on the political left.
00:00:19.260As soon as Hamas started murdering women, children and the elderly in their homes in southern Israel, you immediately had all of these proto-Islamist and left wing socialist groups coming out of the woodwork to basically promote the Hamas agenda or to pretend that murdering Israeli citizens isn't really that bad.
00:00:39.700If you think about it, well, Israel has a bigger military, so this is just justified.
00:00:44.580Oh, there's been 70 years of oppression.
00:01:00.800You're having left wing mayors like Jody Gondek and Olivia Chow soft peddling the violence happening in Israel.
00:01:08.640Olivia Chow finally took her previous statements back, making it seem like, well, I really stand with the people of Palestine as Hamas murders Israelis.
00:01:20.620Or people looking at body counts to pretend that they can find some moral equivalency in that.
00:01:25.620I would just like to point out that Nazi Germany took more casualties than Great Britain and the U.S. combined, but that didn't make Germany right in World War II.
00:01:34.960Just because the Palestinian Authority and Hamas build rocket batteries right on top of schools and hospitals does not mean that Israel isn't responsible for those deaths.
00:01:45.740But anyways, but yeah, the anti-Semitism in Canada is far, far more widespread mainstream on the left than just these fringe groups.
00:01:54.760The honest reporting candidate did a great report that showed this absolute garbage that the CBC had emailed out to their own staff, asking their own people to not actually refer to Hamas as terrorists.
00:02:08.060This is something that they quoted from the email from a CBC news editor to their writers and anchors.
00:02:16.220It's okay to use that as a clipped form, even if first reference.
00:02:20.480Please do not describe the 2005 as the end of the occupation, as Israel has maintained control over airspace, the seafront, and virtually movement into and out of the area.
00:02:30.740Do you know why Israel blockades Gaza?
00:02:34.900They do it for the same reason Egypt does it, because Gaza is controlled by a terrorist group.
00:02:40.260And I don't mean this in the sense that there's a lot of terrorists in Gaza.
00:02:48.880So Egypt and Israel have both blockaded it, because you cannot trust free movement coming in and out of that place to not be basically a big front for terrorists trying to get into Israel.
00:03:21.820But, like, just moving on, there's more stuff in this ridiculous CBC email where they said,
00:03:26.880Do not refer to militant soldiers or anyone else as terrorists.
00:03:31.080The notion of terrorism remains heavily politicized, and is part of the story.
00:03:35.220Even when quoting slash clipping a government or a source referring to fighting as terrorists, we should add context to ensure the audience understands this is an opinion, not fact.
00:03:43.840That includes statements from the Canadian government and Canadian politicians.
00:03:47.440That is absolutely, brutally disgusting.
00:03:51.140And the reason why I call this anti-Semitic and why people like my colleague Daniel Wardman call this anti-Semitic is not because if you criticize Israel, it's anti-Semitic.
00:03:58.940Daniel and I can both make criticism of Israel.
00:04:01.520We don't like vaccine mandates that happen there.
00:04:03.400We do not like certain policies the government has.
00:04:05.900But what makes the current criticism and attacks on Israel anti-Semitic is because the standard that they are applying to Israel, that they are not allowed to fire back at Gaza terrorists when they're literally murdering, raping, and burning down Jewish, like, homes, is insane.
00:04:24.620Because we would never apply that standard to anyone but Israel.
00:04:27.820Or at least the political left never applies it to anybody but Israel.
00:04:31.300Do we think that we wouldn't let, like, we wouldn't fire on, like, I'll just, like, some fictional city in Canada if it was, like, if it was, like, had its own government or whatever and it was firing on other Canadian cities?
00:04:54.560It's, this is what I'm, this is what we, like, even, even here, this is one of the most pathetic people.
00:04:59.000Fred Hahn, who is the leader of QP Ontario, has been putting out absolute trash.
00:05:04.600Again, Fred Hahn, a gay man who would be murdered if he went to Gaza, is putting out stuff like this.
00:05:10.580Sorry, I'm trying to get it to come up on screen.
00:05:12.240He says, as we all think about reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving, I know I am thankful for the power of workers, the power of resistance around the gold.
00:05:25.100That's absolute communist gobbledygook.
00:05:28.900And he's not referring to some vague form of resistance.
00:05:31.960He is very heavily implying that he supports the Gaza murder of Jews.
00:05:37.660Because what was going on for the past two days is him liking and retweeting posts, praising Hamas for breaching the barrier that Israel puts up around Gaza and going around and murdering Jewish people.
00:05:52.220And again, when I say the communist gobbledygook, he doesn't even put a metric on whether or not resistance is good.
00:06:45.740Blame the Israeli government because Hamas terrorists walk into a home full, like with a Jewish family inside, and they torture and rape and shoot all of them.
00:06:55.820Yeah, that's resistance against a greater military threat.
00:06:59.120That's what every country does whenever they're trying to resist a greater military threat.
00:07:05.800Even now, you have the Hamas militants who kidnapped a bunch of Israeli citizens and brought them back over to the border in Gaza are saying, if Israel fires back on us for killing their people and kidnapping them, we'll start executing all of the hostages on camera, torturing and executing them on camera.
00:07:22.220Yeah, this sounds like a freedom fighter group, but I guess the CBC thinks, though, and it's not just the CBC.
00:07:28.060Look at any dumb political science academic from a university, any professor, and they are making excuses.
00:07:35.280They're talking about anything but what is going on in Israel.
00:07:39.240They just talk about how, like, I even have professors I had at UFC and MRU soft peddling what's happening, not really wanting to talk about how horrific the Hamas attack on Israel is.
00:07:49.340It's always about this moral equivalency that, well, Israel and Hamas are fighting, so there must be a 50-50 kind of conflict going on here.
00:07:57.460There's not – whenever you try and be neutral in a situation like this, all you're doing is elevating the actions of terrorists and pretending they're legitimate and maligning the defensive actions of a state like Israel.
00:08:10.140You cannot be neutral in a situation like this and just say, well, you know, we should de-escalate.
00:08:17.240We should just, you know, everyone should just, like, calm down and have a ceasefire.
00:08:21.580All you're doing is saying that Hamas gets to have the first strike, they get to kill as many people as possible in 24 hours, and then they can call for a ceasefire and de-escalation, and then that's being morally, like, reasonable in some way.
00:08:34.480No, a ceasefire would be a mockery of peace right now, but the Canadian left doesn't really care what about peace.
00:08:41.060They're just trying to put up a moral shield for Hamas to keep on living.
00:08:47.640I do not think that this is a group that you can keep letting exist on your border, not only because it's a threat to Israel.
00:08:53.360It's a threat to all Muslims in the area as well.
00:08:55.820The biggest killer of Muslims in Palestine is terrorist groups like Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and Islamic Jihad, all funded by Iran, by the way.
00:09:05.100Joe Biden just gave them $6 billion, and less than a month later, we have a bunch of shooting going on in Israel again that's by, like, terrorist groups that are funded directly by Iran.
00:09:17.340But we're never going to note this in the Canadian media or on the Canadian left, because that's inconvenient, because not only do they soft-pedal the actions of Hamas, they support the regime in Iran.
00:09:26.680They don't care about trying to list the IRGC as a terrorist group, despite shooting down a plane full of Canadians.
00:09:32.140They don't care about any of this stuff.
00:09:33.480They don't call out Kalistani terrorists in Canada.
00:09:36.120The Canadian left is the most anti-Semitic side of the political aisle in Canada.
00:09:45.100There's a reason why their union members and their activists can show up to pro-Hamas rallies all across Canada, and they're not going to lose their jobs.
00:09:53.020Nothing's going to happen to them, because as long as they frame everything in the frame of oppressor and oppressed and resistance versus authoritarianism, then they can get away with thinking it's okay to shoot a Jewish child in the head.
