Al-Quds Day in Canada ... The Islamist Colonization of the West

"If you are on a student visa, and you're in America, and you're an aspiring young terrorist who wants to prey upon your Jewish classmates, you're going home."

"Were going to arrest your tail and we're going to send you home where you belong."

"I appreciate free speech, I used to defend it in court, but this is far beyond the pale of that; you are threatening your classmates and spewing antisemitism and spewing all this hatred."

"It's enough."

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson

So far, few influential elected lawmakers in Canada have advocated against the presence of Hamas-supporting international students spewing their very special brand of viral Jew-hate throughout the country in organized and well-attended 'protests' against the State of Israel's very existence, and by default the existence of Jews anywhere in the world, much less within Israel. Wild displays of clearly illegal support of proscribed terrorist groups whose sole purpose is the destruction of the State of Israel and Jews go unfettered by agencies of the law, taking their cue from municipal government.

 

Municipal government in turn take their cue from provincial governments which look to the federal government -- in this instance, for the past 17 months since the Hamas terrorist group invaded southern Israel on October 7, 2023 with up to six thousand terrorist operatives programmed to commit mass rape, terror, destruction of farming villages, wholesale slaughter of residents of the farming communities, hunting down and murdering young Israelis attending a music festival, and finally taking infants, their parents, the elderly and frail, men and women and soldiers hostage into Gaza.

There is no question regarding the reality of the sadistic savagery that was unleashed upon Israeli civilians; the marauders themselves proudly took videos of the carnage they produced and posted them to social media. Investigations not only by Israel but by an agency of the UN, and by major American news outlets verified the staggering brutality that took place on that infamous day. Yet throughout the world wherever Palestinians and other Islamists have ventured as immigrants, refugees and migrants, the horrible event and the scope of its death toll have been celebrated as a victory.

 

The instigator and major supporter of the terrorist groups poised to attack Israel, the Islamic Republic of Iran and its partner Qatar, have funded the constant threatening, illegal and occasionally outright criminal actions of these groups that infiltrated democratic bastions of the West, but it is the very democratic government authorities of those countries in their lack of action to put a hold to the frenzied antisemitism that have by default supported the very antisemitism they swear they are determined to counter, that have failed.

The annual Iran-sponsored Al-Quds Day, a celebration of hatred for Jews and Israel has once again taken place across the world. Calls to shut down these displays of blatant racist hatred continue to fall on deaf ears where authority figures shrink before the potential of being labelled "Islamophobic". Allowing the continuing displays of hate to continue to fester has the predictable effect of encouraging its perpetrators to become ever bolder when their ever-greater impositions on general society go unremarked and unaddressed.

 

That the organizers openly state: "Palestine resists; Zionism ceases to exist", blatantly calling for Israel's eradication, an act of hatred inciting violence against an identified target which is a criminal offence in Canada, and no consequences ensue, it is clear that the hounds of Hell have been unleashed without the least bit of interest from elected officialdom. Jihad appears alive and well in Canada. A Canada that barely blinks an eye when large groups of Muslims shut down access to public roadways as organized mass prayer sessions block highways and a police presence supports the display of Islamist conquest.

 

Canada has bent a knee to the spectre of unlawful and criminal acts dedicated to the support of terrorism threatening not only the Jewish state but Jewish Canadians as well as Jews globally in the stated purpose of eliminating Jewish existence entirely. Canadian Jews are left waiting for an authority figure that will act decisively to return the country to its true values in rejection of the death fantasy of jihad and conquest. On the cusp of a general election there is a choice to be made; re-elect the same government that has stood by placidly to allow this disintegration of civilizational mores to occur, or make a clean sweep and bring to office a man and a political party whose convictions are directly adverse to the current governing body.
