From Within And Without
Canada's RCMP Commissioner William Elliot warned recently of the presence of covert cells linked to Hezbollah operating within Canada. He warned further of the very real potential for those cells to lead to violence within the country. "While Hezbollah has not articulated any specific grievance with Canada, from its perspective any state that supports Israel or Israeli interests is the enemy, which casts a wide net."Now the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has, after a long investigation, arrested ten people from New York, New Jersey, Lebanon and Venezuela as part of a Hezbollah cell involved in arms dealing and depositing counterfeit American funds into Canadian banks. The criminal indictments against the arrested felons include money laundering, fencing of stolen cars and cellular phones, laptops and computer games, along with counterfeiting of U.S. currency.
There are clear implications that Iran and Syria have been heavily involved in Hezbollah's illicit network of arms importation, where guns were to have been shipped to a Syrian port. An FBI agent, working undercover directly with the principals was informed that "Hezbollah receives a great deal of money from Iran", that they "maintain small cells throughout the world". Taking credit, as an example, for the bombing of a Jewish centre in Argentina.
"The allegations contained in this complaint demonstrate how terrorist organizations rely on a variety of underlying activities to fund and arm themselves", according to the Assistant U.S. Attorney. The apprehended were in the process of arranging the shipment of
1,200 Colt M-4 machine guns through Syria to Hezbollah, along with selling passports, among them a Canadian one, to raise the needed funding.
The counterfeit U.S. currency was claimed by one of the ringleaders, to have been manufactured in Iran. Hezbollah is, of course, outlawed in Canada, formally listed as a terrorist group, charged with car bombing, high-jacking and kidnapping activities in Europe, South America and Israel. None of which will disturb their reputation for righteously challenging Israel's right to exist.
There are complicitly ingenuous Canadians whose left-wing consciences have succumbed to the myth of the oppressor-and-the-oppressed, happy to embrace the slander of Zionism as racism, of Israel as a brutal oppressor, and who go out of their way, through their associations with trade unions, academic circles and student associations, to violate Jewish students' rights, and to hail the imposition of boycotts against Israel.
The boycotting of businesses that carry Israeli goods. The boycotting of Israeli academics from Canadian institutes of higher learning. Even a Canadian-owned business with nationwide locations, like Mountain Equipment Co-op, is being isolated by pro-Palestinian protesters in a nation-wide effort by leftist sympathizers and anti-Semites, to boycott Israeli-made goods.
From public-relations thrusts to marginalize; socially, economically and politically harm and isolate Israel, and to equate Zionism and anyone who supports it with racism, to covert activities for fund-raising to support terrorist jihadists, and to gain new adherents to the international cause of jihad, the Western-based public is assailed at every turn.
