"Canada, You're In Big Trouble"
"I heard them while I was inside speaking ... Halfway through the talk, security interrupted and said we had to leave 'now' ... We were told to exit through another door on the other side of the building.""This is the welcome I received at the University of Calgary; an Islamist mob chanting 'Allahu akbar!'""Canada, you're in big trouble.""These are not political protests. These are jihadi war cries. Don't let this hateful extremism define Canada.""What you see is the logical conclusion of a campaign, since October 7, that seeks to paint Israel as evil ... They [student demonstrators aligned with Palestinian 'victim' groups] don't see Israel as a democratic country [opposing terrorist groups]."Eylon Levy, former spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

The head of an organization of citizens "speaking up for Israel and the Jewish People", Eylon Levy expresses his reluctant opinion based on his experience while visiting Canada -- and finding himself embattled by vociferous crowds of anti-Israel, antisemitic crowds of 'pro-Palestinians' who don't believe the October 7 atrocities in southern Israel happened, along with those who know it happened and feel jubilant over the savagery, equating it with a victory for 'resistance' over the 'oppressors' and 'occupiers' of Palestinian land by the State of Israel -- that Canada is in danger of defining itself by its lax attention to the hateful extremism that boils within its borders.
"Canada has a domestic extremism problem" he wrote in a post on his X account. He is referencing anti-Israel protests taking place in Canada, and in particular the mobs that haunted two of his recent cross-Canada speaking engagements in Calgary and Montreal. In each of those venues protesters wore Arabic Kaffiyehs while chanting "Allahu akbar". An expression that sends a chill down the spines of those who recognize its message; a threat, "a jihadi war cry".
As for the mob mentality and the constant displays of Muslim rage against Israel, the fulminating hatred spewed by Arabs, Muslims and Palestinians: "It's depressing. This has become routine." He has written about his experiences in Canada on his lecture circuit, and that experience by now is little surprise to anyone who follows the events that have been unfolding in the country for over a year. Unrestrained hate on a rampage, with governments from top down, doing nothing to restrain it, to defend the major victims; Canadian Jews.
He describes one student who entered the lecture hall for the purpose of challenging him. "When she started denying the October 7 atrocity, she was asked to leave ... the October 7 attack energized the anti-Israel movement and sparked celebrations of it as a glorious act of resistance", he remarked. "I was speaking at a synagogue. Protesters violated a court order to stay 50 metres from it. They were wearing masks and the keffiyeh. These symbols are scary for Jewish people."

Chants of support for the Arab 'intifada rang out. It is a loaded word he interprets as incitement of terrorism against Jews. "We had to leave through a side entrance (escorted by private security hired for the event)." Canadian Jews cannot now host an event that revolves around the dilemma of existentialism of the symbol of Jewish existence and endurance in the face of mass hostility by enemies and indifference of its supposed friends; other democratic nations, without the presence of security to ward off violence. Appearances he also made for speaking engagements in Toronto and Vancouver 'passed without incident'.
The principal focus for Canada's foreign policy according to Levy should be "standing up for Israel as it faces enemy armies on its borders". Without voicing strong support for Israel "it sends a signal of separation from Israel to (Canada's) allies". And Canada is increasingly viewed within the international community as a hot-house and breeding ground for extremist fundamentalism in Islam, where those who subscribe to the efficacy of terrorism are permitted to flout the law and abide by no societal mores.
Canada as a principal donor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine, with the most recent donation in May amounting to $65 million, flies in the face of proof that the agency has among its employees over 450 individuals who belong to terrorist groups. Evidence was provided that some UNRWA employees were directly involved in the atrocities of October 7, 2023. Many more celebrated openly, sending one another congratulatory messages on social media.
UNRWA, reminds Levy, operated schools in Gaza where Palestinian children attended "terrorist-run facilities. That agency exists to push peace away. Canada ending its support for UNRWA would definitely be a very positive step." The previous, Conservative-led government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper did just that. And Justin Trudeau's Liberal government lost no time in restoring its financial support of the UN agency.

"Definitely, some people on the pro-Palestinian side think they are supporting the underdog. It's part of the left-wing belief that they are fighting against oppression. They think they're fighting for the little guy. But the protesters chanting 'Allahu akar' know exactly what they're doing.""They see the small Jewish state as an affront to Arabs in the Middle East. They think they should rule the region.""Lots of Israelis feel isolated and betrayed. We thought the international community would stand by Israel's side.""It's important the war doesn't end with the terrorists thinking they [prevailed]."Eylon Levy
