Deportation Cannot Come Soon Enough

"We see on our own streets antisemitism guided by obscene woke ideologies that have led to an explosion in hate crimes."

"We must not just condemn these things, we must take action."

"We must deport from our country any temporary resident that is here on a permit or a visa that is carrying out violence or hate crimes on our soil."

"Canada is in a dark place of rampant antisemitism." 

"[We pledge] to restore a Canada where Jews are able to live fearlessly and unapologetically Jewish lives."

In an address at the Ottawa official Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony, Pierre Poilievre who is poised to become Canada's next prime minister, addressed the attendees with his proposal to deport participants in hate activities specializing in radical anti-Israel, anti-Jew rallies that have become a regular feature of Canada's city streets. The calls for the destruction of Israel, the unending harassment and threats against Canadian Jews have become rampant and forthright in their unadulterated antisemitic rage. The temporary ceasefire in Gaza only appeared to serve as an impetus for greater calls of a 'final solution'.

Organized and led by invested groups that include Toronto4Palestine, the Palestinian Youth Movement and student groups such as McGill University's Students for Palestine's Honour and Resistance, since the barbaric atrocities of October 7, 2023 these foreign-fed radical hate-fests have become common sights of disruption, threats, and violence across Canada. Hundreds of rallies, blockades, encampments and efforts at boycotts of Jewish-owned businesses have taken place. Rallies in front of synagogues, Jewish parochial schools, and Jewish neighbourhoods have disrupted life for city residents, while focusing hate on Canadian Jews.

 

 

In the immediate wake of the October 7, 2023 sadistic savagery when thousands of Palestinian terrorists swarmed into Israel from Gaza to surround and enter agricultural kibbutzim, families were burned alive in their homes, young Israelis attending a Nova Music Festival were stalked, hunted and murdered, women were sadistically mutilated while being raped, children and the elderly were gunned down and these unspeakably brutal acts of inhumanity became a reason for celebration for the groups that now call for Israel's destruction.

It took no time for the celebrations to turn into demands for a ceasefire and charges of Israel committing a 'genocide' in Gaza. Not the Hamas terrorists whose deliberate use of the Palestinian population in Gaza as human shields, committing a crime against their own, but Israel in defending her population from the drive of Palestinian terrorists to slaughter Jews. Cause and effect that is rational and a just response is an infuriating injustice to the Palestinians who clog city streets in Canada demanding Israel's demise, and along with the state, the Jews inhabiting it.

As police stood by mutely observing, jubilant crowds in Montreal blocked intersections, chanting in Arabic, lighting smoke bombs, led by the Palestinian Youth Movement, to mark the ceasefire with a 'victory' rally through the downtown, a banner reading "Ceasefire Today. Liberation Tomorrow."

 

 

An official Facebook post by Montreal4Palestine promoted a rally titled 'From Gaza to Jenin, Liberate all of Palestine, which read: "The bloodthirsty Zionists will stop at nothing to continue their evil and oppression".

 

Where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saw fit to do nothing to deter rampaging mobs of antisemites on steroids, preferring to allow them to act without interference by law and order, despite their disruptive and criminal actions, thus giving a muted assent to the ongoing furor and increasing violence, the position taken by the leader of the Official Opposition in the House of Commons will shortly have the opportunity to return Canada to its values-based commitment to human rights and support of a fellow democracy assailed by the scourge of terrorism.
