Turns out Canadian tax dollars have been helping out Hamas.

Internal Hamas documents found in Gaza show the terror group working closely with NGOs and charities funded by the Canadian government.

According to the documents, Hamas helped choose aid recipients, screened staff working on projects, and had individuals linked to terrorist organizations involved on the ground.

They're trying to convince the world that Israel, this yellow dot, a state the size of New Jersey and the only Jewish state in the world, surrounded by Muslim nations, is the “occupier.”

Do they realize how stupid they sound?

[Adam Silver EdD @adamarisilver]

@AzimAJiwani I guess they’re going to provide inferior education by TRULY boycotting, without any hypocritical exemptions? How will they do without computers, phones, GPS, etc ?
Theatrics and absurdity.

🚨 A story of enormous consequence and one that demands immediate, widespread attention. ⬇️

Now that this information is publicly known, the urgent question becomes:

What actions will @csis, @rcmpgrcpolice, @MarkJCarney, and our government take to confront the threat posed by these Hamas-linked individuals?

Canadians deserve clear answers on how authorities plan to tackle this issue and ensure Canadians are protected from potential attacks on our soil.

Yesterday, I attended the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa which earlier this week was vandalized in a despicable act by people who are cowards.

As Ontarians we have an equal duty and obligation to stand up for one another and champion the values of tolerance and respectfulness to all.

Mayor Sutcliffe,
Thank you for your support and for calling out this despicable act. We must unite against antisemitism and hate in all its forms. There is no place for this intimidation in Ottawa, or anywhere else.

The National Holocaust Memorial is a solemn and sacred place in Ottawa designed to honour the millions of innocent people who were murdered under the Nazi regime and to recognize the significant contributions of Holocaust survivors in Canada. It’s shocking and disturbing to see it defaced today. Protests and demonstrations are an essential part of our democracy. Disfiguring a sacred monument in a way that will traumatize victims, survivors and their families is not.

I am reaching out to Ottawa’s Jewish community and other faith leaders, and to the Ottawa Police Service. Let’s continue to unite together as a community to fight against hatred in all its forms.

Le Mémorial national de l'Holocauste est un lieu solennel et sacré à Ottawa, conçu pour rendre hommage aux millions d'innocents qui ont été assassinés sous le régime nazi et pour reconnaître les contributions importantes des survivants de l'Holocauste au Canada. Il est choquant et troublant de le voir aujourd'hui défiguré. Les protestations et les manifestations sont un élément essentiel de notre démocratie. Défigurer un monument sacré d'une manière qui traumatise les victimes, les survivants et leurs familles ne l'est pas.

Je m'adresse à la communauté juive d'Ottawa, aux autres chefs religieux et au service de police d'Ottawa. Continuons à nous unir en tant que communauté pour lutter contre la haine sous toutes ses formes.

[Adam Silver EdD @adamarisilver]

Despicable and cowardly. Any caring Canadian should condemn this act. Tell me how this achieves anything productive or peaceful? @JewishOttawa @jfcuia @CIJAinfo

It’s 2 am in Israel. People got out of bed, drove hours to the south of Israel, only to hold flags and be there when the coffin of Shiri arrives, as a sign of respect. This is Israel. Filled with amazing people🧡❤️‍🩹🇮�

[Israel in Canada @IsraelinCanada]

Today marks four days before International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

1 million innocent Jews died at this extermination camp.

Behind this number are names and people who worked, lived, and loved until they were murdered simply for being Jewish.

We are grateful to our allies @SenatorHousakos, Anastasia Zorchinsky of The StartUp Nation, @adamarisilver of @JewishOttawa, and @fsorbara for joining us in remembering the innocent people whose lives were cruelly cut short.

Never Forget. Never Again.

Over the weekend, in major cities across Canada, we once again saw an eruption of antisemitism.

This is happening in our country. In our cities. On our streets.

The irony of someone calling for the "final solution," an antisemite, operating a coffee shop in the Jewish General Hospital (JGH) is not lost on us. We appreciate and commend @SecondCupCanada and JGH for acting swiftly, standing up against hate and taking necessary action.

Last Thursday’s hate demonstration, which featured the former operator of this branch openly threatening Jewish students, and subsequent riot on Friday evening demonstrate the grave state of antisemitism in Montreal.

It goes without saying individuals espousing antisemitism and invoking Nazi ideology have no place in our institutions. Every level of government must ensure Jews are protected in Montreal and across Quebec and Canada while local law enforcement has the obligation to ensure those behind these hateful actions are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

[CIJA @CIJAinfo]

“The final solution is coming your way.”

Today in Montreal, a masked extremist, supposedly on strike, violently threatens a Jewish bystander, using Nazi terminology, demonstrating their intent to import the intifada here and kill Jews.

This public hate speech, inciting violence, and threatening death to Jews in 2024 on the streets of Montreal requires a strong and immediate response from law enforcement. Enough is enough!
