The Hamas Agenda of Destroying Israel

 

"We will bring in tougher laws to target vandalism, hate marches that break laws [and] violent attacks based on ethnicity and religion. Anyone who is here on a visitor visa who carries out law-breaking will be deported from this country."

"[Canada has criminalized hate speech, leveling a maximum punishment of two years imprisonment for anyone who engages in] communicating statements in any public place [which] incites hatred against any identifiable group where such incitement is likely to lead to a breach of the peace."

"[The string of recent hate crimes targeting Canadian Jews, the] targeting of synagogues and Jewish schools with hate, vandalism, violence [and] firebombings [must have legal criminal consequences]."

Conservative Leader and Prime Ministerial candidate, Pierre Poilievre

 

"We are going to make it stop, and the way we're going to make it stop is by confronting all these politicians, all these media figures that have justified, that are enabling the indefensible, that are enabling the mass slaughter of Palestinians, the starvation, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, the Canadian support for Zionism."

Yves Engler, Canadian journalist, critic of Canadian foreign policy 

"I'm here to protest the genocide and request an arms embargo from the Canadian government. The protests that are happening are very needed, crucial and relevant towards the Canadian election."

"I want [the party leaders] to hear our concerns, to address their plan and to endorse the Vote Palestine platform...I feel like support needs to be garnered."

"There is strength in numbers and the more supporters there are it brings justice and a voice to those who don't have a voice, especially in conflict zones."

None of the committed protesters who show up for these organized shows of support for Palestinians in Gaza ever question why it is that Hamas, the terrorist Palestinian group that led an influx of five thousand terrorist operatives representing Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine targeted Jewish civilians in a bloodbath of savagery, and did so, knowing that an engaged Israeli military would respond to the butchery by seeking out Hamas leaders and destroying the terror group's infrastructure, weapons depots, launch sites, deliberately placed within crowded civilian areas in the Gaza Strip.

Nor are they the least little bit interested in the terror groups' and their Palestinian civilian supporters holding hundreds of Israeli children, women, elderly, ill alongside foreign farm workers and soldiers when their return to Israel would have had the desired effect of stopping the conflict in Gaza in its wide-ranging search for the presence of the terrorists who took part in the sadistic torching of homes with families inside in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Hamas's deliberate placing in harm's way as collateral damage of Palestinian civilians is never questioned by its Western supporters who prefer to term Hamas as a legitimate group of 'freedom fighters', chafing against oppression and occupation.

 

The trouble is that 'occupation' is the very land Israel sits upon; ancestral heritage land, divided so that Palestinians could share in a portion of it, aside from Jordanian land, while Hamas and others like them openly declare their intention of destroying Israel in the interests of taking all the land for Palestinians. An obviously dangerous, deadly and unjust quest that the supporters of 'Palestine' are not the least bit troubled about. Which brings any rational mind to think, why is that?

 

The rally that took place in front of Parliament Hill on Saturday was timed for the first day of Passover, a coordinated, widespread 'protest' of Palestinian support with attendees wearing keffiyehs, holding up signs calling the conflict imposed on Israel by Hamas et al, a 'genocide' against Palestinians. Chants of Palestinian slogans; "Free, free Palestine", and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", left little to the imagination, advocating for an end to the presence of Israel. 

 

This was part of the National March For Palestine, organized by pro-Palestinian advocacy groups that include the Palestinian Youth Movement and the Palestine Solidarity Network among many others. Protesters were bused in to Ottawa from Montreal, Toronto, Mississauga, Kitchener-Waterloo and Hamilton, to swell the rally numbers. The rally attendees professed to being enraged that the issue was not front and center during the federal election campaign.

 

Vote Palestine has an election platform, outlining demands from those who decry Canada's position on Israel and the Palestinian community, that they insist must be a top election issue. Packed into their demands is a two-way arms embargo on Israel, and for anti-Palestinian racism in Canada to be addressed. Which is rather rich, given that it is antisemitism in all its historic dimensions that has been roaring back to life through the auspices of the 'pro-Palestinian' movement in Canada. Police statistics register a huge increase in antisemitic crimes in the last several years, as opposed to a modest number attributable to anti-Muslim sentiments. A no time do these marchers decry Hamas's ongoing rocket barrage into Israel.

"One year ago today, genocidal and sadistic terrorists carried out the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. They burned people alive, tortured children in front of their parents, mutilated dead civilians and posted these demonic cruelties online for the world to see. All while their cowardly bosses and benefactors watched from Tehran and other faraway safe-havens. 101 hostages are still being held. Let them go."

"Meanwhile, Jews in Canada face grotesque antisemitism in the streets and by the two-faced and weak leadership of their Prime Minister placating lawless mobs."

"And yet, Israel and the Jewish people live on and fight on. Western democratic values depend on destroying Tehran’s proxy armies of Hamas and Hezbollah."

"Canada’s Conservatives have not and will not waver. We won’t bow to the radical, woke, anti-Zionist Jew haters. Because “Never Again” is now, tomorrow and every day after. We unapologetically stand with Israel through fire and water. And unite with Jews to say, ‘Am Yisrael Chai!'"
