No Country For Anyone

If Justin thinks that even HE will benefit from this abject Jew-hatred, he has another thing coming:

Cowardice is the only word to describe Justin Trudeau’s failure to truly confront the crisis of antisemitism and violence in our streets.

There have been bomb threats against synagogues, bullets fired at Jewish schools, and brazen Nazi salutes. If none of those can drive this Liberal government to rise to the occasion and behave like leaders, it is terrifying to think what will.

Social media posts dribbling the same lines about how antisemitic terror is “unacceptable,” “not who we are,” and “has no place in Canada” are the best we can expect at this point.

(Sidebar: but arresting an actual leader is "who we are as Canadians", apparently.)

When Trudeau was filmed attending the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto on Friday, he obviously did not plan for it to coincide with the anti-NATO and anti-Israel riots that same night.

That is still beside the point. He and his government are petrified by the necessity of growing a backbone and properly calling out these antisemitic radicals as they bend and break the law to terrorize the Jewish community.

It was only a few short years ago that the prime minister chose a side during the pandemic and came out swinging against the unvaccinated at rallies and in Parliament. Trudeau staked out the battle lines between those who took the jab and those who did not, and fought an entire election on it.

“Do we tolerate these people?” were his words when it came to the unvaccinated.

Trudeau went so far as to invoke the Emergencies Act when the Freedom Convoy came to occupy Ottawa. The convoy was rowdy and disruptive, but they did not set fire to synagogues or fired bullets at Jewish schools. The Friday riot in Montreal was just one in a series of coordinated actions designed to rile up fear and intimidation.

No matter how you feel about the Freedom Convoy, they never went as far as the anti-Israel mobs have, as they throw up the Nazi salute and parade through Jewish neighbourhoods.

Fortunately, not every part of the government has been idle during this time.

Suspects from other incidents, such as the man who threatened to kill a counter-demonstrator at an anti-Israel protest in Toronto last year, were taken into custody. A few months ago, the police detained a suspect in Quebec who was allegedly planning to travel to New York City and murder scores of Jewish people on the anniversary of 9/11.

With this murderous intent plain for all to see, why are the Liberals so afraid of publicly taking an unambiguous stand against the anti-Israel mob? Nobody has to love Israel to understand why it is wrong to only do the bare minimum to condemn antisemitism at these demonstrations and those who go further with violence.

Trudeau’s failure to even try and rally Canadians against it is equal parts bewildering, infuriating, and suspect. Perhaps Trudeau’s own cabinet can provide a clue for their cravenness.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is as large a liability as can be found in the entire government.

Joly is an utterly inept minister who has proven herself an equally careless politician. Former NDP leader Thomas Mulcair wrote last month that Joly had explicitly alluded to the “demographics” of her Montreal riding when it came to navigating Middle Eastern foreign policy.

The phrase “demographics is destiny” is beloved among the alt-right, especially in online platforms like Reddit and 4Chan. In real life, in the House of Commons, however, it would seem that the Liberals believe in that phrase more fervently than anyone else.

If cabinet ministers like Joly show us anything, it’s that the Liberals value getting re-elected over taking a risk to set a brave example.

 

There it is in a nutshell.

But if Israel can expect violence for its pains to appease its pro-Hamas masses, where will Justin hide when they turn on their Canadian benefactors?

Also - stop setting the stage for inaction. Do your job or resign now:

Montreal’s mayor and police chief both say it will take time to arrest everyone who smashed windows and burned cars during a demonstration outside a NATO conference on Friday evening, since most of them had their faces covered.

Police have so far arrested three people in connection with Friday’s protest, and police Chief Fady Dagher says there will be more arrests.

In a radio interview on Monday, Dagher said police used to be able to intercept masked protesters before they could do any damage, thanks to a bylaw that prohibited the use of masks during demonstrations.

And:

Political commentator Ezra Levant says he intends to sue the Toronto police service for arresting him as he was filming an anti-Israel protest in Toronto on Sunday.

Levant wasn’t charged but he is accusing the police of breaching his Charter rights and refusing to protect him.

Levant is widely known as a political activist, commentator and the CEO and founder of Rebel News. On the media outlet’s website, Levant, who is Jewish, wrote about the experience, saying he “was trying to report on a pro-Hamas terrorist rally.”

The Rebel News site says he was arrested while standing on the sidewalk, holding a camera, and speaking with a police officer. It further states that Toronto lawyer Leora Shemesh was hired shortly thereafter.

“I wasn’t causing a disturbance — I was standing by myself on a public sidewalk, silently filming a grotesque pro-Hamas mannequin in a Jewish neighbourhood — a reenactment of Hamas leader Yayha Sinwar,” Levant said in a Nov. 24 post on X. “It would be like someone reenacting Hitler — and police were stopping me from filming it.”

In a video of his interaction with the police, posted on X by Rebel News, they can be heard urging him to move away from the protest in the largely Jewish neighbourhood at Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue in Toronto. “You’re violating my Charter rights,” he tells a police officer. Then the officer can be heard accusing him of “inciting” the crowd of anti-Israel protesters. “I haven’t incited anything,” Levant responds.

Then another officer who appears to be in charge tells Levant to go to the other side of the street where Israel supporters can be seen. After refusing to leave that officer arrests Levant for “breaching the peace.

Why?

Was he threatening Canada and Israel?

Low-hanging fruit indeed!

Don't let the enemy regroup.

Attack while you can:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conducted a series of meetings on Tuesday with government ministers, senior defence officials and opponents of a ceasefire deal ahead of a Security Cabinet meeting expected to pass it.

Israel is under pressure by the White House to finalize a deal before Nov. 28, the American holiday of Thanksgiving, The New York Times reported.

 

This has been done before.

Israel starts winning, becomes lenient after international pressure, the enemy attacks again.

Not this time.
