Iranian Malice in Canada

"Because I do say it with pride [member of the "Canadian Infidels", a breakaway from the Finland-based Soldiers of Odin]. Because I'm a proud Canadian."
"And I support Israel. Israel stands for freedom. I don't want sharia law coming here [Toronto]. Mass immigration is tearing our country apart."
"We are not a hate group."
Nick Blanche "Nick the Wolf", Canadian chapter Wolves of Odin

"Every year, we stand up for Palestinians, against oppression and occupation. We don't equate Zionism with Judaism. We want Canada to stand up for human rights and human dignity for Palestinians living undignified lives in their own land."
"We don't need a permit. As Canadians, we have a right of freedom of assembly and freedom of expression."

Toronto just had an Al-Quds day march downtown where you can see a Hezbollah flag being waved. This is a recognized terrorist organization yet the police did nothing and allowed them to march on the street w/o permit. We stood proud and strong against the hate. #NeverAgain

Another cynical parody of 'justice for Palestinians', a not-very opaque demonstration of anti-Semitism disguised as concern for Palestinians whose plight their own leaders are responsible for in their never-ending cycle of refusing a peace agreement with Israel, and with it, a sovereign state of their own, the better to suit their end-game of delegitimizing the very existence of the Jewish state in the hope that it will miraculously disintegrate leaving the geography open for full Palestinian possession.

It is Islamists who have infiltrated their way into Canada, paving the way for a swelling population of Muslims who will hope eventually to persuade Canadian legislators that the implementation of sharia law will benefit the country, a system of law that would supersede Canadian law. It is Islamists who find sympathy for their 'cause' in the understanding of other Canadians who harbour a lethal hatred for Jews finding an outlet for their anti-Semitism in the cause of supporting Palestinians.

It is the 'normalization' in Canada of the flags of Hamas and Hezbollah, hoisted at all such demonstrations, allowing Canadians to become familiar with their presence even while the federal government lists those terrorists groups for what they are. It is a new Canadian demographic familiar with their 'rights' under the Canadian Charter guaranteeing them freedom of expression where their anti-Semitism can be cloaked in acceptable speech criticizing Palestinian suffering under Israeli 'occupation'.

The Palestinians 'occupy' the West Bank and the Gaza Strip where both Fatah and Hamas teach Palestinian children to hate Jews and to emulate terrorists in summer camps teaching military manoeuvres and lauding the celebrity of Palestinian 'martyrs' who have succeeded in slaughtering Jews. The slanders, the boycotts, the marches all appeal to a wider audience all of whom profess they have not an iota of anti-Semitic thought in their heads.

For malicious threats the poster below threatening another massacre of Jews -- citing the one that took place fifteen hundred years ago when Islam was in its infancy and conquest was as brutal then as it is now under the Islamic State, Hezbollah and Hamas -- is prepared to once again strike in emulation of that one of ancient origins has its origins in the Islamic Republic of Iran whose ayatollahs aspire to 'wipe Israel off the map of the Middle East', for the presence of a Jewish state on land consecrated to Islam is forbidden.

Islam came to the Middle East in the 7th Century, a late-comer to what is often referred to as the three great religions of the Abrahamic tradition based on monotheism. Jewish tribes which had lived for a thousand years in the Arabian peninsula were invited by the Prophet Mohammad to leave Judaism for what he declared was god's final and most complete covenant of monotheism.

Mohammad, a local merchant who had lived among Jews and knew the heritage and sacred texts of Judaism declared himself the final messenger of god. He had cut-and-pasted  the history of Judaic sacred texts and traditions and brought the prophets, the legends and the values of Judaism into a manuscript he had devised claiming it came directly from Allah, building upon god's original instructions to his faithful.

Claiming the Koran to be the third iteration of god's word to mankind, Mohammad offered it as proof that Islam was the one true religion. And he resolved to spread the word of Allah by whatever means conceivable, by entreaty, invitation and the scimitar. In a region of the world where tribalism and ancient enmities linked to survival in a geography of limited resources where antagonism over territorial rights ensured constant conflicts, this nomadic desert religion fit the bill.

When the Jews then living in Medina refused to abandon Judaism, which they had worshipped for several thousand years, and swear their allegiance to Islam, the response from Mohammad was war. A number of tribes and territories long linked to Judaism were put to the sword, Khaybar, located 150 kilometers (93 mi) from Medina in the north-western part of the Arabian peninsula, in modern-day Saudi Arabia, among them..

Police officers on the scene of Saturday's demonstration might have upheld the law, for the organizers hadn't bothered to apply to City Hall for a permit so their presence was clearly illegal. But police were no doubt fixated on keeping apart the pro-Palestinian demonstrators and the counter-demonstrators, hefting Israeli flags in defiance of the hate-filled message of those claiming that Palestinians are tormented and killed by Israelis when the opposite is in fact, the case.

Nothing stopped the presence of posters of a a little girl, splattered with blood carried by a little girl at the protest whose poster read: "Israel cages two children every day". "I agree with the sentiment", said a young man holding one end of a huge sign declaring Zionism to be the same as ISIS. "Zionism stands for terrorism because they're killing Palestinians", he said with the confidence of utter conviction.
