How can anyone forget that Canada passed “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103 in Parliament in March 2017, which led to a $23,000,000 taxpayer funded document titled: “Taking Action Against Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination Which Includes Islamophobia.” The document includes stipulations for monitoring citizens for compliance.
Merely criticizing Islam in Canada and elsewhere is deemed to be “Islamophobic” and is a punishable offense. There are no such penalties for criticizing Jews or Zionism, or for calling for the obliteration of Jewish state of Israel “from the River to the Sea.” This is clear from the annual public hatefest against Jews, Zionists and Israel on Al Quds Day. But what about going further and spitting at Jews? Yes, you read right: spitting. At York University, Arab and Muslim students began “swearing profanity all over the place” and spitting at Jewish students because they displayed a Zionism sign earlier in October. “Security had to break up angry Palestinian mobs throughout the day because they were screaming at and intimidating Jews.” But was that not enough hatred to get members of the “mob” charged? Spitting is assault, and we all know that York University — and society at large — would never tolerate such abuse against Muslims; nor should they. In that event, Prime Minister Trudeau would likely intervene. But why is this abuse tolerated against Jews?
Arrests should have been made and expulsions carried out by York University.
It’s also tolerated in Canada to wave Hizballah flags, including a sign that was brandished in downtown Toronto which threatened to massacre Jews. Silence is agreement. Denial and apathy contributed to the Holocaust (a combined effort between the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Hitler), and that same denial and apathy is allowing a genocide against Christians in the Middle East and Africa by jihadists.
In another recent case of Islamic anti-Semitism, a Muslim preacher stood at Dundas Square spewing propaganda against Jews. Here is some of what Haashim Atangana Kamena stated:
“Islam is the truth, because the media is controlled by the Jews. The Jews, the very least, they control the media and they [the Jews] are doing everything possible to demonize Islam, right? So because they are doing everything possible to demonize Islam, they [the Jews] want to make people think that Islam is all about terrorism and things like that… [See] what’s is going on with the media. The media is controlled by the Jews.”
Last year, also at the busy intersection in Dundas Square, “ISIS-like Islamic teachings were freely and widely shared” not long after Faisal Hussain went on a shooting rampage.
Despite Canada’s threatening problem with Islamic antisemitism, if you go to this “anti-hate” site in Toronto HERE, these are the titles you immediately see:
- Police Investigating Harassment Campaign Against Al-Soufi Family
- NEO-NAZI PARTY ACTIVE IN MONTREAL
- NEO-NAZI PARTY ACTIVE IN SCARBOROUGH
- We Convinced an Art Gallery to Cancel a People’s Party of Canada Event in Winnipeg
But what about the headline: “Jagmeet Singh’s NDP officially supports BDS against Israel“? And where are the other headlines in the establishment media, such as: “Muslims and Arabs spit at Jewish students at York“? or “Hatred and propaganda against Jews shouted by Muslim preacher at Dundas Square“? Or “ISIS-like teachings freely and widely distributed at Dundas Square?”
Perhaps the headline “Flags Calling for the Massacre of Jews by Pro-Palestinian Activists” was featured on the “anti-hate” site this past summer? Unlikely. It would have been a pleasant surprise.
Reverberations from these incidents should be heard all across the country. It is mind-blasting how discriminatory the guardians of “tolerance” can be, including the loudest “anti-hate” groups. What about the Canadian Race Relations Foundation that I was fired from for criticizing “political Islam” and Sharia law? Are they all over this blatant Islamic antisemitism? Fingers crossed.
It is hard to imagine your son or daughter coming home from University to tell you that he or she was spat at on for being a Jew who recognizes Israel’s right to exist. It is harder to imagine that this is tolerated.
“Jewish student at York University: Arab students spat at us saying “Jews control the world,” by Jonathan Halevi, The Documentation Project, October 16, 2019:
Lauren Isaacs is the Toronto Director of Herut Canada and a student at York University in Toronto.
On her Facebook page Lauren Isaacs described in detail an incident between Zionist and Arab/Muslim students that occurred in York university campus on October 7, 2019:
October 7, 2019 A – “Herut Canada is at York University! Come say hi and learn all about Zionism!! We can’t wait to dispel myths and educate about Israel today! Herut North America #ZionUnite”
October 7, 2019 B – “I would like to preface this video [see transcription below] by saying that I was told by several students at York University today that I should NOT be allowed to display a Zionism sign because, according to them, the majority Muslim population on campus finds it offensive. Please watch. Pictures will be posted. Am Yisrael Chai. Never again means NEVER AGAIN! Herut Canada Herut North America #ZionUnite”
October 8, 2019 – “Blatant Antisemitism and violent incitement directed at myself and Jewish students at York University today. Security had to break up angry Palestinian mobs throughout the day because they were screaming at and intimidating Jews. Herut Canada Herut North America”
Here is Lauren Isaacs’ video message:
Hey guys, Lauren Isaacs here. I just came from tabling at York University and I wanted to tell you what happened and debrief about the day. We had a good first hour. We engaged a lot of students both Jewish, Christian, Muslim in conversation, changed some minds, educated about Israel and Zionism. We did have a large sign up that said I’m a Zionist, ask me why. We were hoping to engage people in meaningful dialogue about the Zionist movement. Starting about an hour into the day a lot of hostile people started coming past table in large groups. A lot of Arab and Muslim students started coming past and they were angry. They were yelling they were screaming, they were hurling insults, personal insults at us. They were swearing profanity all over the place. They were putting us off sticking their tongues out, spitting at us.I got called a Nazi several times. What else? Zionism is Nazism was one of their favourite slogans they also shouted out a bunch of the regulars viva viva Palestina, viva viva intifada, openly calling for intifada, violent uprising at York University in Toronto. Free Palestine from the river to the sea, you know the chant from Hamas that says ethnically cleanse all the Jews from the land. They were openly chanting all these things. It was intimidating to say the least. Sometimes they were 40 or 50 students crowding around the table at once all yelling all screaming pushing up against us, personally insulting us. York security had to be called twice to come and disperse the mob that was crowded around our table and it was getting ugly. it was getting ugly. I was intimidated. Usually I don’t feel in danger on campus. Today I did feel in danger. Today I did feel endangered. If security hadn’t come I don’t know what would have happened. They were you know 40 to 50 angry Palestinian people who were openly supporting Hamas by the way, they were saying there’s no right for a Jewish state to exist, they want to wipe Israel completely off the map, we’re colonialist Zionist oppressive evil entity yada yada you know the story, classic antisemitism. It was scary, it was demoralizing, it was upsetting, it was extremely disappointing.….
CogitoErgoSum says
It’s called Islamic diplomacy.
Westman says
And apparently, “… they were screaming, they were hurling insults, personal insults at us. They were swearing profanity all over the place”, is what passes for education in Canada these days.
But then, again, it was present at Brooklyn College when Pamela Geller spoke there. One can only conclude that there is no limit on swearing in Islam. Even the “educated” break loose with copious profanity. Could this be due to Islam crushing parties, joy, and happiness out of their lives; making their life into engagement of only the serious?
The BBC just ran a (dishonest) story on immigration with the intent of influencing the upcoming Canadian election in which they disputed claims that Canada has received the highest number of “immigrants” per population. The BBC totally ignored the illegals pouring in from the US and elsewhere. There might as well not be a border, with a corridor from Michigan to Quebec just north of the border, littered with Mosques in every average and large city along the way. The Canadian Underground Islamic Railroad?
Del Rokosh says
Not a single comment from Liberals or the NDP, as expected.
mortimer says
Most people have no idea in regard to Zionism. Simply put, Zionism is the secular political philosophy that promotes a strong Jewish presence in Israel. The following are some of Zionism’s key points:
-The sovereign state of Israel’s unconditional right to exist as the Jewish democratic homeland;
-The right of the people of Israel to live in peace and security;
-Pride in the common history, culture, destiny and religious heritage of the Jewish people;
-Pride in Israel’s rich contributions to the world and its aspirational role to be an exemplary society for all of humanity; and
-Israel’s centrality to Jewish identity and life.
There is nothing in the above philosophy that differs in any way from the ambitions of other small countries, such as Catalonia, Lithuania, Scotland, Ireland or Switzerland. While the UK was the surrogate mother of Israel, the US was the midwife of Israel.
Askingforafriend says
Please explain this to me. It is a real question. I agree with you that there is nothing about the Zionist philosophy that differs from the ambitions of other small countries. Since the Zionist goal has been fundamentally met with the existence of Israel, why do we continue to use the term “Zionist”? If it was no longer used, Anti Zionism, would be nakedly seen as antisemitism.
libertyORdeath says
The answer is right there in mortimer’s post. The reason that Zionism still exists is that this basic demand is not being met, even after 7 decades.
“The right of the people of Israel to live in peace and security”
It seems that the attacks on Israel will only continue and intensify with the left supporting the jihad from afar.

A superb article by Christine Douglass-Williams. Many thanks.
This article gives examples of how the Left and Islamists are working together to help reduce resistance to the programs of the other in that unholy alliance.
somehistory says
Since saliva, a.k.a. spit, carries all kinds of germs and viruses, those spitting on others should be charged with criminal intent to harm another.
If the Jews really did “control the world,” there would be less of this kind of behavior by moslims. Many governments are allowing moslims to get away with so many crimes that the ordinary person, Jew, Christian or otherwise, would be severely penalized for doing.
Israel is safer than many countries…even many in the Western world…because they have a standard and usually stick to that standard. moslims are not “more equal’ in Israel than are the other groups that reside there.
libertyORdeath says
Spitting on a person is usually treated as assault in Canada. I guess the exception is Muslims spitting on Jews. Every day they are placed further and further above the law.
Shmuel Ben Dovid says
Why can’t the Jewish students commence private prosecutions against the muslim wankers.???
elee says
Shmuel Be Dovid, one who sues the Mafia often feeds the fishes. Did you think the muslim wankers are somehow more genteel or law-abiding than the Maia? Which criminal syndicate has taken more lives through the years? Please be aware of what you are asking of young Jews who might prefer to have a semblance of a normal life.
gravenimage says
I don’ think that things are so bad in Canada–not yet, anyway–that Muslims will openly murder anyone who brings charges against Muslims.
But this should mot be necessary–spitting is a form of assault–the state should be prosecuting these cases.
somehistory says
One of the reasons given in the U.S. for not arresting and prosecuting every criminal caught breaking a law is that there are way too many of them and only the most serious crimes are dealt with by law enforcement.
Spitting should be considered a serious assault. Sooner or later, it will likely happen that people just get so fed up with the special treatment afforded moslims, something will have to give; and once that tipping point is reached, it’s anyone’s guess how they will fare then. A dam can only hold back flood waters for so long before some of it must be released or the dam breaks.
elee says
Undeer the ABA Model Penal Code, spitting or propelling other body fluids onto another is a species of Harassment, which is generally a misdemeanor. Many American jurisdictions have elected to impose a stiffer characterisation and consequences. I would speculate that its unlawful in Canada but have no actual knowledge. Well, if you think this law ought to be enforced, tell your local prosecutor; if he disagrees, vote him out.
Terry Gain says
“But why is this abuse tolerated against Jews?”
……..
I would suggest that it’s mainly because the abusers are Muslim. I don’t think abuse of Jews by neo-Nazis would be similarly treated.
One of the ironies of this very disturbing, but not surprising, mob scene is that York University was built mainly by Jews. Given Islam’s history of mistreatment of Jews, it is surprising that Jewish Canadians have not opposed Muslim immigration. What is taking place was predictable.
Peter Dale says
The tragedy is that most Jews will vote Liberal.
elee says
Gee, why would any Jew want a highly professional army between him and the Muslims?
Robert_k says
It seems that the Arabs and Muslims don’t have the saying “Don’t spit in the well
– you drink might from it later”.
tgusa says
Leftist leaders of western countries are scared to death of muslims. Leftist leaders are afraid that with one wrong move muslims will come for their friends or families. This applies to any person or group in the west that panders to muslims. Leftists, in spite of the appearance of an alliance with muslims very well know the dangerous situation that they have placed themselves in. Therefore any resistance to islam is labeled by leftists as islamophobia, but it is leftists that have true islamophobia and rightly so.
Terry Gain says
I agree that a lot of people are terrified of Islam but my experience with leftists leads me to believe that most of them are true believers. They, like the Pope, believe Islam is benign, just as they believe in catastrophic AGW.
I am expecting some climate nutter to claim that the Medieval Warm Period, which is undeniable, was caused by the Crusades.
Fear of Islam is completely rational. The word Islamophobia does however have great propaganda value. Muslims are easily the world’s best propagandists.
gravenimage says
I agree, Terry–I know a lot of liberals, and many of them are in complete denial of the threat of Islam.
Roberta says
FYI, the term islamophobia was specifically created by the muslims, the Intl Inst of Islamic Thought, Abdur Rahman Muhammad. The sole intent of this muslim think tank is for THE PURPOSE OF BEATING DOWN CRITICS. . . Islamophobic was and is a term designed as a weapon to advance a totalitarian cause by stigmatizing critics and silencing them. This plan was an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood deceptive “General Strategic Goal for North America”, read it, it is on the internet.
DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THEM. THEY ARE VILE AND WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO PUT IN THEIR BULL SHITARIA; WON’T HAPPEN. ALWAYS STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND THAT WOULD NOT BE ISLAM IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.
Also, cair, splc sleep in the same bed with socialism, communism, democrats and do not be intimidated by these lying bastards.
tgusa says
“Islamophobic was and is a term designed as a weapon to advance a totalitarian cause by stigmatizing critics and silencing them.”
Yes but now we have turned it around on them. As usual they didn’t think it through. They constructed that weapon thinking all of the west was a weakling leftist monolith. They never considered the rest of us. An opposing force, as big or bigger and much stronger than the left is out there and fighting but the left have surrendered, worse, gone over to the other side. And that makes us the underdog fighting for what I believe is good and and fair and right and that is exactly where I prefer to be. Do not think that the underdog has not prevailed, the underdog has prevailed before.
Terry Gain says
A totalitarian conquest ideology is a religion entitled to First Amendment protection? Seriously?
elee says
Absolutely. The theory is that a thorough airing of all views allows them to be fully examined. It has served America well. Thats why its so important to keep the heat on any kind of content-based censorship. And that means, when someone gets censored for calling attention to the totalitarian conquest ideology known as Islam, its time to make a lot of noise. Oh and, say what you like about America, M-103 (I hope I cited it correctly) would probably be stricken by an American court for violating the free speech protections of the First Amendment. Iwou
Terry Gain says
M-103 is not legislation. It has no legal effect. It is nothing more than aN idle threat to those who criticize Islam and a profession of love for the poor oppressed Muslims.
The First Amendment is great but it should not be used to protect a conquest ideology posing as a religion. So long as Islam is treated as a religion Muslims can and will use the First Amendment to stifle free speech.
Canada’s Charter of Rights And Freedoms protects free speech without protecting Islam from criticism. The only Court sanctioned way Muslims can stifle criticism of Islam in. Canada is by using the hate speech law in the Criminal Code. And it is very limited.
elee says
Thanks for the guidance on Canadian law. American law permits Muslims to advocate world conquest by violence, as it allows Nazis to publicly advocate genocide. Its up to Americans to examine Islam in public. Note that the First Amendment includes not only the free-speech clause, but also the establishment clause: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Our courts generally interpret this as requiring the strictest of neutrality among religions by any American government. If anyone is going to reject Islamic supremacism, it must be the American electorate; the government is not allowed to express or implement any partiality toward religions that dont advocate or commit genocide.
gravenimage says
The First Amendment actually protects freedom of speech. The belief that its purpose is to crush the freedom of speech of those who criticize religions is mistaken–those would be blasphemy laws, which are most conspicuous in Muslim nations.
Battle says
Christine Douglas Williams hits nail on head.
Battle says
I hope the spitting assaulting and harrassment is all on security camera, so York University can have the perps arrested and charged.

An Islamofascist is an Islamofascist is an Islamofascist.

ET says
The Muslim Students Association of the United States and Canada established in 1963 by members of The Muslim Brotherhood hoods. It is the creation of Saudi Arabian-backed groups to create a network of International Islamic organization to spread its Wahhabism ideology. Nearly 600 groups operate in the U.S. and Canada.
A guest speaker for the MSA said “When they go out and strike at the heart of Zionism, they are not suicide bombers they are heroes, isn’t that right? that’s. Part of our deen, that’s. Part of our religion, let’t Not become weak bones and apologetic, and round around trying to appease this government and that government.”
Canadian, Muslim, MP Iqra Khalid was the leader of the MSA at York University. The MP who introduced M-103, the woman who the boys at Palestine House thanked for getting M-103 implemented in Canada. yes they called her loyal servant Khalid.
I wonder if they thanked all the Liberals and all the NDP for voting in favour of the blasphemy motion.

It’s very sobering and disheartening to see Canada headlined more and more in JIHAD WATCH. I don’t see any “winning” anywhere in the world yet
elee says
Take that view up with mortimer and Anjuli Pandaver among others, who say they feel a groundswell of apostasy challenging the evil cult. I hope they are right and you and I are wrong.
Ewanda says
I would say that praying for more apostates in Canada would have no significant effect when the uneducated politicians make it a point to discipline and dismiss their informed members instead of learning from them.
There are too many Sharia compliant women gliding around in burkas and niqabs and hijabs, which is exactly what is prescribed in the koran for them not to be killed by the orthodoxers who take over a shopping plaza or target on the streets. Forbid these garbs so that western women can share in the protection of uniformity.

Yes–Canada was one of the safest and most civilized countries in the world until just recently.
And elee, I hope Mortimer and Anjuli Pandaver are right, too–but I have not seen Muslims mass apostacizing as they claim is happening.

Canada: Muslim students spit on Jewish students, openly express support for Hamas
………………
York University should not tolerate this kind of abuse from any student, or from anyone on campus.
Peter Dale says
The answer to Joan’s question is easy: left-wing ‘progressives’ and left-wing progressive Jews.
If you haven’t already done so, may I suggest reading an essay written by William Hazlitt in 1823. It’s title is ‘On the Pleasures of Hating’. May I quote two parts?
‘The pleasure of hating … leaves to virtue nothing but the spirit of censoriousness, and a narrow, jealous, inquisitorial watchfulness over the actions and motives of others.
We hate old friends; we hate old books; we hate old opinions; and at last we hate ourselves.
All this in 1823!
