Because of the COVID-19 pandemic the annual al-Quds day march did not reach the streets of Toronto. However, COVID-19 did not stop these neo-Nazis from spewing their hatred on the internet. The hatefest included a gentleman by the name of Dimitri Lascaris. A radical Jew-hater and BDS advocate, who is running for the leadership of the Green Party of Canada. It is really sad to see how far Canada has sunk, since Stephen Harper was voted out of office.

At one point, the virtual rally took a partisan political turn, with remarks by Dimitri Lascaris, who used the occasion to boost his campaign for leadership of the @CanadianGreens.
The event host then told Lascaris that “When the time comes, you can absolutely count on us.”

Examples of hateful, antisemitic content from virtual al-Quds day event in Toronto include:
…played a video describing Zionism, the Jewish national liberation movement, as a “Satanic endeavour.”
— B'nai Brith Canada (@bnaibrithcanada) May 18, 2020
The video went on to identify Zionism with “the military-industrial complex, elite-run societies, corporatocracies” and “the 1% who rule this planet.” It concluded with the words: “Free Palestine, free Jerusalem, free the world.”

Israelis Dubbed “Thieves and Murderers” at Virtual Toronto al-Quds Event
B’nai Brith Canada, May 18, 2020
TORONTO – The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic blocked the Toronto al-Quds Day Committee from conducting its customary occupation of downtown Toronto, but did not prevent it from spreading hate on the internet.
Ironically, though al-Quds Day is supposedly held for the benefit of the Palestinians, not a single one of the 12 speakers at Sunday’s event was Palestinian.
Paul Larudee, an Iranian-American activist addressing attendees online on Sunday, proclaimed, “Let us make Zionist citizens of so-called Israel unwelcome anywhere in the world,” adding, “We must treat them as we would treat any thieves and murderers.” His remarks were welcomed by virtual rally host Farman Ali, who described them as “great words.”
B’nai Brith Canada is in the process of filing a complaint with Toronto Police over this act of hatred against Israelis based on their nationality.
Throughout the event, Ali repeated the mantra, “Judaism yes, Zionism no,” but this did not prevent the use of antisemitic tropes during the rally.
Earlier in the afternoon, organizers played a video entitled “The Palestine Pandemic,” which described Zionism, the Jewish national liberation movement, as a “Satanic endeavour.” The video went on to identify Zionism with “the military-industrial complex, elite-run societies, corporatocracies” and “the 1% who rule this planet.” It concluded with the words: “Free Palestine, free Jerusalem, free the world.”
Meanwhile, one speaker alleged that “Apartheid Israel” was an “ally” of COVID-19, while another described Israel, the world’s only Jewish state, as “a cancer that has been growing, a cancer that has been spreading.”
“The hateful, antisemitic content of this event demonstrates exactly why it should never again be allowed on Toronto’s streets,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada. “Even after the COVID-19 restrictions pass, we expect the City of Toronto to follow the lead of world cities like Berlin in permanently banning physical al-Quds marches.”
At one point, the virtual rally took a partisan political turn, with remarks by Dimitri Lascaris, who used the occasion to boost his campaign for leadership of the Green Party of Canada. The event host then told Lascaris that “When the time comes, you can absolutely count on us.”
For many years, speakers at the Toronto al-Quds Day rally have praised terrorists and incited hatred against Jews and Israelis. In 2018, a featured speaker said he was praying for the “eradication” of Israelis. In 2013 and 2016, speakers called for Israelis to be shot. In 2014, a Muslim cleric called for “Yahoodi” (Arabic for “Jewish”) to be “dismantled.” Last year, another cleric brandished an ominous sign referring to a massacre of Jews.

Harper was far too pallid when he ruled. He was a strong conservative who regressed to a weak centrist, just to keep power. He did not do enough to eradicate the deep political problems that hobble the country.

DemocracyRules – You are right about Stephen Harper. I was glad to see him elected, but, as you wrote, he proved “pallid” and an almost complete disappointment, just another all too typical Canadian politician. This country does not produce true ‘leaders’, so is saddled with weak individuals who pass for leaders – at federal, provincial and municipal level. Conditioned this way the citizenry is almost entirely gutless – Jordan Peterson, Ezra Levant and a few others exceptions to the rule. Notions of Canadian ‘toughness’ are mostly an illusion. The media is so utterly gutless that most of it might just roll over and play dead. The motto must surely be ‘Don’t rock the boat’. Canada is no longer a true democracy. The media is pure rubbish, elections largely decided by two or three cities such as Montreal and Toronto. CBC is largely a ‘bought’ propaganda network that dutifully spouts what Trudeau wants after he’s given the networks round$1.2 billion annually. Canada is now a good place to leave. The problem is one of where to go because most of the West is not cowardly and sold out.

Senate committee approves John Ratcliffe as US intelligence director
https://nypost.com/2020/05/19/senate-committee-approves-john-ratcliffe-as-intelligence-director/
I guess Grenell was so scary, the Dems would grab anyone instead. But Ratcliffe is a good choice. A full Senate vote is imminent.

At this rate genocide will happen one day inside Canada! The Canadians are allowing themselves to cease to exist! Maybe for the best that Canadian beta males be destroyed and replaced by the cut throat cult of Mohammad!

Prime Minister Trudeau is very anxious to shut down free speech from conservative sources such as The Rebel, so let’s see whether he has any wish to shut down lies from these Muslim haters and bigots. Last year in Toronto, the al-Quds march was held illegally, i.e. without a permit, yet about 100 Metro Police officers dutifully turned up, not to stop it or issue fines, but to protect the Muslims – from whom? – and escort them on their illegal march during which they illegally stopped traffic. I saw one Jew who held up an Israeli flag being harassed by a police officer, but he refused to lower the flag. This is ‘sold out’, gutless, spineless Toronto! Of this I wrote to the gutless, lying Mayor John Tory and from his office came a really stupid response from some politically correct and brainwashed female.

HAMASS, the controllers of the land called ‘palestine’ has announced that they will NEVER accept any peace “deal” from Israel. Ham-ass has also stated MULTIPLE TIMES – – they want Israel and the Jewish People wiped from the face of the earth. HAM-ASS has shown their “leaders” want NOTHING but DEATH and I-ran is assisting them with finances and explosives.
