"All Out For Gaza"

"[Jews were] lying [about the attacks]."
"Is it possible that if they are lying about these events and creating a false genocide, it is likely they may have lied about certain details of a previous big genocide [Holocaust] that may have occurred?"
Toronto4Palestine
 
"In the last several days, we have witnessed the active decolonization of Palestinian land led by the Palestinian resistance."
"May the memory of our martyrs continue to guide us on the steadfast path to liberation."
Palestinian Youth Movement 

"The most prolific organizer [of 'pro-Palestinian' solidarity marches in the wake of the October 7 attack on southern Israel] has been the Palestinian Youth Movement, a group active in both the United States and Canada. It was the PYM that marshalled the first wave of celebratory "All Out for Gaza" marches that appeared in all of Canada's major cities in the immediate hours after the October 7 massacres."
"And in the dozens of events held since, the protests have included everything from displays of the swastika to children leading open calls for "intifada" as the "only solution."

It is well enough known that the terrorist Palestinian group Hamas which governs Gaza orchestrated a savagely sadistic day of slaughter in southern Israel on October 7, when its operatives flooded into Israel at the Gaza border to begin a massacre of Israeli civilians, mass rape of girls and women, killing of infants and children in a sadistic orgy of psychopathic hatred. Then it was revealed unsurprisingly, that Palestinian Islamic Jihad was also involved.

And finally came the realization of ordinary Palestinian civilians opportuning themselves by following the terrorists into the breaches of the separating walls at the border to commit their own atrocities on Jewish families in the border towns, villages and kibbutzim. While Israel has been induced to commit to a temporary ceasefire in the hopes of having at the very least women and child hostages returned to Israel, the plight of a ten-month-old baby, his 4-year-old sibling and their mother gripped the nation.

The three  were to have been returned to Israel in an exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Hamas informed Israel they were unable to locate the three. They followed that up with saying they were in the hands of another terror group. And finally, that they were dead. That other group was the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, notorious decades ago for its plane hijacking and murders of Jews. The family, it appeared, died at their hands. Their father, taken hostage separately, was forced to watch a video of his family's death.

Finally, Hamas refused to release any more of the Israeli women, some ten in number along with several children. Speculation is that they are either dead or close to death; the terrorists gang-raped women to death, breaking the pelvic bones of some and others taken hostage for use as 'sex slaves'. None of this happened, however, according to Palestinians in Canada, organizing mass protests in the streets of Canadian cities, accusing Israel of genocide and celebrating the courage of Hamas and others.

Now it has been revealed that affiliates of the PLFP have been directly involved in many "ceasefire" and "stop the genocide" mass rallies clogging Canadian streets. Bearing in mind that Hamas, PIJ and PLFP are listed terrorist groups in Canada. The Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network headquartered in Vancouver and founded by Khaled Barakat, a leader in the PFLP's Central Committee has been actively arranging protests. 

Germany, following Israel's example, listed Samidoun as a terrorist entity amidst a nationwide crackdown on 'pro-Hamas' organizations. German Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser spoke of Samidoun as having an "antisemitic, inhuman world view, particularly repugnant". Yet in Canada the group has achieved federal non-profit status as a charity. In May they posted images of protesters in Vancouver there to affirm "the right of Palestinians to carry out popular and armed struggle to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea".

It has also been busy as a key organizer of Canadian anti-Israel rallies following the very first hours after the October 7 attacks. Former B.C. Civil Liberties Association head Harsha Walia praised the "Palestinians on hang-gliders" responsible for the massacre of over 200 young people attending a musical festival close to the Gaza border, in Israel. Other groups have been organizing waves of "ceasefire" and "stop the genocide" mass rallies.

Social media channels have been rife  with such groups posting open praise for terrorism in the months leading up to October 7, followed by ecstatic celebrations as the initial details of the massacres reached the public. A frequent organizer in the Greater Toronto Area, Toronto4Palestine hailed news of the October 7 terror attacks as acts of "heroic resistance", that "has shaped a new precedent for our national liberation struggle".

And the Palestinian Youth Movement ranks as the most influentially busy of the groups in organizing events publicized as "ceasefire" or "peace" rallies, while at the very same time the group has openly supported Palestinian terrorism; their ultimate goal to see Israel violently destroyed; a carbon copy of the Hamas manifesto of its reason for existence as a death cult.

And the federal government in Ottawa, of Justin Trudeau? Well it hesitates to 'take sides', deploring the horrific atrocities committed by Palestinians against Israeli Jews, while at the same time warning Israel that its response to the constant threats, attacks and this final barbaric episode, must be measured, that the lives of Palestinians must be held as sacrosanct as those of Jews were not.

So no action to stop the constant rallies in support of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups which fly the flags of fascist terror groups outlawed in Canada (wink-wink), for fear of alienating a large voting bloc. In view of which, Canadians will perhaps eventually get around to asking themselves and then posing the question to their government:  
Why has Canada permitted the importation into the country of people as immigrants, migrants and refugees who bring with them these hateful ideologies, and why are they allowed to air them so aggressively in public?

Oh, right, I plumb forgot! A majority of Canadians has expressed -- through several nationwide polls -- their extreme concerns over the situation of citizens, presuming to be Canadian and expressing and acting on these issues in a morally indefensible way, not reflective of the general Canadian feelings that there are indeed two sides; one a nation of democratic values that upholds universal laws of justice, the other an uncivilized, barbaric rabble for whom crimes against humanity is just business as usual.
"As the morning dawns on 7 October 2023, the resistance is rising throughout occupied Palestine, smashing the siege on Gaza with a comprehensive offensive confronting the occupier by land, air and sea, the resistance fighting to advance return and the liberation of Palestine."

Canada's Blind Eye

"The Trudeau government has been finding it a lot harder to avoid keeping company with and giving money to terror enthusiasts and antisemites than recent scandals would suggest."
"Whatever it is that's going on here it's not just a laxity in 'vetting'."
"Last week, the Canada-Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group drew unwelcome attention to itself when it was revealed that publisher Nazih Khatatba, whose newspaper al-Meshwar is notorious for such indecencies as referring to the Holocaust as the 'Holohoax' and claiming that Jewish bankers financed the Nazi Party, was one of the guests in attendance."
Terry Glavin, National Post

"Laith Marouf's long, well-documented history of hateful statements should have automatically disqualified him from accessing any government funding."
"The obvious systemic failures in this case further prove the need for a 'whole of government' approach to the way government and its agencies vet funding applicants."
"It won't be enough for one department alone to prevent further taxpayer funds from flowing to hateful groups."
Shimon Koffler Fogel, Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, Canada
NDP MP Niki Ashton,  Liberal MP Salma Zahid, Green Leader Elizabeth May, and Liberal MP Omar Alghabra attend the Nov. 29 event hosted by Zahid.
Salma Zahid, Liberal Member of Parliament who convened an event that brought together supporters of the Canada-Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group, explained when the presence of this Holocaust-denying antisemite was revealed on Parliament Hill, that it simply was not possible for her group to vet everyone who turns up at one of their events. The invitation to attend, however, went out broadly to those within the Palestinian-Canadian community and this prominent member of the community took it upon himself to attend.
 
She spoke as though she had no idea who he was, what he represents, why he would have attended the event. That she would be unaware of any of that is hugely unlikely, given her own prominent presence within the community. And now it emerges that they have a fairly close personal and professional relationship. Three years earlier a full-page advertisement for Salma Zahid appeared in the Khatatba newspaper causing her to forswear any future advertising in al Meshwar
 
However, when she was appointed a year later to the chair of the Parliamentary Friendship Group, he was one of 16 attendees in a Zoom meeting. Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, prompted by the media monitoring group Honest Reporting Canada, stated his intention to investigate how Khatatba's newspaper was awarded federal COVID-19 subsidies. Documenting Antisemitism in Canada, an advocacy group noticed that the Secretary of the Fatah Movement in Canada, Nabil Nassar, was also present at the Parliamentary gathering.
 
The very fact that these people associated with terrorism in the Middle East have a presence in Canada should be troubling; that they have the freedom and the opportunity to infiltrate Canada's Parliament is another concern altogether. Nassar publicly mourned the death of Ramadan Shalah, a former leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group notorious for mounting attacks in Israel. Nassar has praised terrorists like Ali Hassan Salameh the planner of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre. Khatatba laid claim that the 11 Israeli athletes' massacre represented a Mossad operation.
 
Which brings us back to August when it was revealed that federal funding went to Laith Marouf, an antisemite and racist whose declarations of hateful antisemitism on Twitter make him well known to the Jewish community and praised by the Palestinian community. Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen had celebrated an "anti-racist" contract and grant doled out to Marouf's Community Media Advocacy Centre for him to instruct federally regulated broadcasters in diversity and inclusion.

With a two-decade history of "anti-Zionist" rhetoric behind him and copious numbers of antisemitic statements in his hatred of Jews, no one in government or its agencies interacting with Marouf and signing off contracts for him did any investigative background check on his character. Marouf claims Zionism to be a project of "white Jews who adopted Nazism". Knowing of Marouf's reputation, Liberal MP Anthony Housefather alerted Minister Hussen to Marouf's background.

"I persistently communicated with the minister in his office, from the day I learned about it" (the commissioned anti-racism contract awarded Marouf). A month later Hussen acknowledged the controversy, promising his intention to look into it. Mark Goldberg, a telecom industry specialist, had been warning of this man's activities for the past year and a half, having uncovered  consultation and process participation fees to the tune of $600,000 granted to Marouf by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

The associations made by this government in a series of events, with characters of this ilk is troubling beyond measure. No one does any background checks as to the viability of associates contracted with to help operate government programs. No one knows anything, no one seems to care. Unless and until they're brought up short with revelations that reflect poorly on decision-making and associations. That there has been infiltration of a malicious group into the corridors of power is a massive problem.

That one segment of the Canadian population with loyalty to a group it advocates for that is criminally racist, celebrates terrorism, and the death of innocent people in a far-away country and goes out of its way to convince the general public of the concocted stories of 'apartheid' in a country that accepts diversification in its citizenship rolls, enables all its citizens regardless of ethnic origin to be duly elected as public representatives. slandering and demonizing Israel, is profoundly disturbing. 

Canadian Jews are smeared by association, with university campus groups championing the 'Palestinian cause', and threatening the well-being of Jewish students. BDS advocates spurred by Palestinian lies about Israel appeal to the latent antisemism that seems to simmer under the surface, readily brought to action in support of a spurious cause, does no credit to Canada, much less to its deliberately oblivious government-of-the-day.
