Ezra Levant led a December 2nd Toronto sidewalk demonstration against pro-Hamas extremists, distributing Canadian flags and coffee while avoiding conflict, despite police allegedly prioritizing Hamas protesters—700 Iranian operatives—over law-abiding citizens. With 100 supporters from across Canada, they reasserted rights after false arrests, like Staff Sergeant McDuff’s targeting of Levant for documenting protests, and criticized police inaction against anti-Semitic threats, including genocide chants in "Olivia Chow City." The episode highlights a two-tier policing system, legal battles to uphold sidewalk freedoms, and the broader fight against foreign-backed extremism terrorizing Canada.

Tonight, we did it.
We took back the streets from Hamas.
It's December 2nd, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you sensorious fubuck.
In this chilly weather, I appreciate you being here.
Our official program will start at 9 a.m.
And it's a very simple program.
Taking Back the Streets00:11:49
We're going to cross the street on the light.
We're not going to jaywalk.
We're going to go over to the other side where for the past several weeks, pro-Hamas extremists, many of whom are not even Canadian citizens, have brought a torrent of anti-Semitic hate and even threats.
And we are going to do something very simple.
We're going to stand on the public sidewalk.
We're not going to engage with the Hamas extremists.
There's no point in it.
You won't convince them.
They're like robots.
They just say whatever line has been handed to them by Iran.
As you know, there are 700 agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran who are operating in Canada.
It's atrocious, but that's how it is.
We're simply going to stand on the street as citizens.
Now, we've got some hot coffee that we're going to set up, and we've got little Canadian flags that we can hand out.
And my colleague has with me letters from our lawyer, Leora Shemesh, who's a very senior criminal lawyer here in Toronto.
And she, it is a form of a legal memo, which we sent to the police yesterday, both the police headquarters and the local attachment, outlining an important court case.
And I'm just going to take a moment to tell you about that court case.
And let me sum up the case really succinctly.
A man named Fleming had a flag like this, a Canadian flag.
And he was standing at the side of the road.
And he was protesting in Caledonia.
And some counter-protesters started to move towards him.
And the police arrested Mr. Fleming.
Now, he wasn't doing anything wrong.
He wasn't doing anything criminal or illegal in any way.
He was just holding a Canadian flag.
And the police arrested him because they said it was an incitement to breach of the peace.
The Supreme Court in a 9-0 ruling said that's not the law.
You cannot arrest someone in Canada who is not doing anything wrong simply because someone else might have a breach of the peace.
In fact, the police duty is to go after the folks who would cause the breach, not the law-abiding bystander.
That is the top law of the land.
The Supreme Court of Canada, nine to zero, issued that ruling.
And it's common sense, too.
Now, what you'll see is there's so many police here.
You probably saw some of them.
There's an enormous number of police vehicles.
For those of you who ducked into Wimpy's diner for a hot coffee, there's a bunch of cops in there, too.
There is no reason at all why police have to manhandle law-abiding, peaceful Canadians.
If they were going to enforce the law, they can enforce the law against the people who would be violent.
The people who have come in from afar.
This is a residential area.
There is no political target in this area.
There's no embassy or consulate.
This is a residential area with apartments, many of whom are Jewish residents.
That is specifically why the Hamas activists have come here to taunt and defame Jews.
You don't have to be a Jew to find that upsetting.
That's not the Canadian way.
Just the same as if there was a KKK protest outside a black church in a black community, you don't have to be black to find that odious.
And what we see instead is the police running cover for the modern version of the KKK.
And just like the KKK, many of them wear face masks because they're cowards and they want to hide their identity.
And it's also more menacing.
None of us have masks because we're proud of what we're doing.
We know what we're doing.
We're simply asserting our rights.
And so at the hour of nine o'clock, I would invite you to walk with me with the crosswalk sign, not jaywalking, and we are going to plant our feet on the ground.
We're going to keep warm with coffee and donuts.
And you can read the legal memo from our lawyer.
And I want to tell you that the Hamas people plan to be here at around 10.
They're here right now.
They're here right now.
So we have to make a decision.
Do we hold the line?
Now, do not resist arrest.
If police touch you and say you're under arrest, comply.
I think we have to go over now.
So we're going to walk over peacefully right now.
Please follow me.
Can't you?
It's not for Ezra.
for Canadians.
Hello, officer.
I'm coming to the East Side of Chep Radio.
Good morning, how are you today?
How are you?
I brought some of my friends.
Yep, no problem at all.
And I'd like to tell you what I plan to do.
Yes, sir.
And I'd like your feedback if you have any advice for me.
So these people are all different backgrounds, different religions, different races.
The one thing they have in common is they're Canadian citizens who think we have the right to stand on the public sidewalk, even if a Hamas activist might be upset by that.
I've talked to everybody here and I've encouraged them to be completely peaceful, not to talk to the Nazis or the Hamas side, because there's no fruit in that.
I've also told them that if they're arrested, to comply, not to resist arrest.
And I would find that extremely unfortunate if that happens, but we're not going to be violent.
The violent ones, the threatening ones, are the Hamas thugs.
We're just maintaining the peace, right?
Obviously, everyone's out here to peacefully protest, and we're going to maintain the peace and ensure everyone complies with that.
But there's two ways to maintain the peace.
One is to stop the violent threateners.
The other is to take the peaceful people off the sidewalk.
So it's my hope that you will not arrest my peaceful citizen friends.
And if any threats are terms of how they are right now, no one's getting arrested.
Okay.
Everything's going to run smoothly, all right?
Now, officer, I'd like to give you a letter which we sent by email to the headquarters and to the local detachment.
Have you sent it already?
Yes, we sent it by email yesterday.
That's fine.
And they'll get it.
You don't have to give it to me.
Okay.
They'll get it.
This letter outlines the case called Fleming versus Ontario, which was a Supreme Court case on arresting.
But listen, it's nice to see you because I felt like two weeks ago when we saw you here, I know that you actually helped us by investigating an assault by these Hamas thugs against one of our reporters.
So thank you for that.
No problem.
Enjoy your day.
Okay, thanks.
There you go.
Well, let's get the coffee and donuts set up and we're going to be on the street.
You know why?
Because we're Canadian citizens.
And we don't yield the streets because some Hamas thugs tell us to.
Whose streets?
Our streets.
Whose streets?
Our streets.
Whose streets?
Our streets.
Whose streets?
Our streets.
All right.
Who wants to lead us in O Canada?
Who's got a beautiful voice?
Do you want to start things off?
All right, you get us started.
Oh, Canada.
Our home and native land.
True patience.
In all thy sons command, with glowing hearts we see thee rise, the true north, strong and free.
Come far and wide.
Oh, Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land, glorious and free.
Oh, Canada.
We stand on guard for thee.
Oh, Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Well, Catherine, you have a beautiful voice.
Great to see you.
I need a selfie before.
I've got to get it up on social media.
I just want to say God bless Rebel News, and God bless you guys for the hypocrisy that we're viewing.
Trudeau owns the police.
He owns the media.
And this is the only bright light shining on what's going on.
But we really appreciate you.
Yeah.
And Ezra Levant, you're amazing.
The reason I'm here is because I absolutely don't agree with what happened last week, that he got arrested simply for walking on the street.
That's not acceptable.
That's not, I've been living here for the past 35 years.
I've never seen anything like that.
We should be free to walk wherever we want.
Anyone, any color, any culture, any religion, this is not acceptable.
So that's the reason I'm here today.
So thank you, Rebel.
Thank you, Ezra Levant.
Thank you for what you do.
Well, folks, as you can see, it is the return of the bloody couch.
Now, this isn't an example of bad housekeeping.
This is a prop where, as we observed last week, they had somebody on the Hamas side basically cosplaying as Yah Sinwar.
He was the mastermind of the massacre that happened in southern Israel last October 7th, 2023.
And it is, again, just ramping up the rhetoric, isn't it?
This is a vigil, if you will, for Sinoar.
We're waiting for the cosplayer to show up.
I wonder who it's going to be.
Oh, I see Mr. Anos.
Mr. Anos, who is playing Sinwar today?
Is it you?
Oh, this is interesting.
The symbolism.
It looks like it's you.
I know.
It looks like, you know what?
I think they're trying to communicate.
I think they're sending a message.
They've got a replica hat.
I think that's supposed to represent me.
So they have put my hat on the bloody chair.
You know, Anos, that's not very nice.
Why would you do that?
Aiden Menzies?
Free, free Palestine.
So you won't answer the question.
Free, free Palestine.
Now, this is Anos.
He is the one that goes to 32 Division to order the police around for subsequent, I guess, crowd management, protest management.
This is not conjecture, folks.
Check out what we encountered a couple of weeks ago when I was coming out and Anos was coming in.
What was he doing there?
Now he is chanting genocide.
And really, I thought that's why he was at the cop shop.
He was turning himself in for breaching section 319 of the criminal code.
Nazis Out!00:02:44
And by the way, folks, I have some advice.
If you have children in the future, and there's a pretty good chance that child will be, well, an a-hole.
Don't call the kid Anos.
And I'd like to say one more thing.
There's a lot of us old people.
Get out of your chair, get off your ass, and come down.
You know what's going on.
You know what the country that we built.
Come and save it.
Save it for your grandkids.
Save it for your kids.
Like, for God's sakes, you know what's going on.
You're smart enough.
Get down here.
For the last year, we have not seen the rule of law in Canada.
We see foreign thugs and some of their domestic sympathizers, usually woke radicals from universities.
We've seen them break the law.
And I'm not even talking about hate speech.
I'm talking about trespass, mischief, uttering threats, nuisances.
And bizarrely, the police abide that.
There were full-on riots in Montreal last week.
Hundreds of Hamas activists in the streets.
And I understand the police only arrested three people.
We see this every day.
Hey, Lou, great to see you.
Great to see you.
And we see illegal trespass at the University of Toronto for months.
And we wonder where the police are.
And shockingly, the answer is acting as concierges to the Hamas side.
I see some Hamas thugs down there.
I'm going to go make sure that the police are doing their job.
She's out you're almost as good as a singer as I am No, I'm standing my ground, officer.
I'm standing my ground.
We were here.
Today I'm standing my ground.
See you right here.
We were here.
Right here.
Right here.
Thank you.
The streets.
I don't understand.
We were here.
I'm asking you guys.
No, no, no, it's a public safety.
No, but wait, no, no, no.
Public safety.
They should be leaving.
I can taxes in his community.
We're in his community.
This is exactly as well what I don't want.
Someone stepped on his foot.
Listen, accidentally.
Listen, we don't want to be here.
We're talking about this.
I'm talking to the law.
Yeah, you have a right to be here, but we're maintaining the peace.
Last week, last week when I was here and they were there and you came over, I allowed you to come over.
I allowed you onto your side.
So it's not fair.
It's not fair that you come here first and I tell them to leave.
I never did it to you.
I'm going to stay on your side.
So don't say that it's unfair because it's not unfair.
I never arrested him.
I never arrested him.
So don't say I did, okay?
I did not arrest him.
So let me say it, Ezra.
When you came and they were here, I allowed you to stay.
I allowed those that want to be interviewed by you to allow them.
And I hope you shake your hand in front of everybody because that's exactly what happened.
I am not telling them to leave.
What I'm here to do is make sure that you're going to be able to learn.
I didn't ask you to tell them to leave.
Look, leave.
Tell them they got to leave.
Well, I can shout that at them.
So this is what we're going to do.
We're going to maintain a line with police officers and keep the two groups apart.
If people want to be interviewed by you, and I know some do.
I don't want to talk to them.
So what we're going to do, well, I'm here to maintain peace, and that's exactly, that's, that's, that, that, well, let me, and you're, and you're still here.
And you're still here.
And what's the issue?
Would your bylaws are here?
No.
No, not right now.
Okay.
All right, let me make some comments to my friends.
Yes, thank you.
Hello, my friends.
I've just spoken with the big boss, Officer Ford.
Staff Sergeant, is that your title?
Yep, that's right.
Staff Sergeant Ford.
And he says that in the interest of freedom of assembly, that the Hamas Nazis are allowed to be on the sidewalk.
And my point of view is that that is the right that we have sought for ourselves.
The right to be on the sidewalk.
And so I don't object to the staff sergeant saying even Nazis have civil rights in Canada.
That's one of the differences between Canada and Gaza.
And how ironic that these Nazis come here seeking to undermine the very freedom that they are abusing.
So we have retaken the square.
We're not going to drive out the Nazis because they do have certain civil rights, even though they're despicable, even though they're racist.
I would encourage the staff sergeant to enforce the law against them if they engage in assault or other mischief or uttering threats.
That has been glossed over by police these past years.
But our goal here today is to stand our ground, not to drive out the Nazis.
We can chant that the Nazis go out, but I accept the police argument that they have the right to stand here even if they're odious.
One of the things about freedom of speech is you have to give it to your opponents if you want it for yourself as well.
That's a distasteful thing when it's Nazis, but that is what we believe in.
So I respect the fact that the staff sergeant has protected us and not allowed the Nazis to drive us out.
Those are my thoughts.
You may be less libertarian than me, but those are my beliefs.
And remember, our plan for today was very simple.
Hold our ground and not let any of these Hamas thugs drive us out.
And I believe we have achieved that today.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you, Jake.
It's just the fact that it's finally gotten to me.
I see nothing but graffiti and violence on the other side.
And I've never seen one protest from even this side to be terribly violent.
It just seems to be getting worse and worse.
Why is it important to come out and be here today?
I want to come out and show my support for Ezra Levant and stand for the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Seeing him unjustly arrested, practicing journalism, arrested on a public sidewalk for doing his job, which is his right to do.
That was why I wanted to come out here today, just to show my support.
And to stand our ground.
We have to stand for Canada.
If Trudeau doesn't, you know, if the police department, even though they're getting direct orders from higher up, you know, they may stand with us, but they may not appreciate it.
Like, sorry, they may stand with us.
The police may stand with us, but because of their job, they're in it for the money.
So the Holocaust is when you burn alive, when you burn a people and exterminate them from their homeland.
That's the Indigenous people.
And that's exactly what's happening in Palestine.
Do you agree or not disagree?
So when you say Indigenous people, are you talking about here in Canada that the natives, the Indigenous people of Canada, do you believe that we are on stolen land right now?
100%.
Well, then what are you doing here?
Settlers here.
What are you doing here?
We're all generational settlers here.
Well, shouldn't you lead by example and leave?
Why would I leave?
I'm over here and I'm standing up for their rights.
No, but you're standing on stolen land, sir.
Yeah, but I'm standing up for the Indigenous rights.
Okay, how?
We're standing here.
We're supporting one Indigenous group and we're supporting the Canadian Indigenous group as well.
then why don't you go back to the Middle East and put your, you know, action speed louder than words, wouldn't you say?
I'm a Canadian and I'm on Canadian soil on my homeland over here and I'm advocating for peace around the world.
How come we do that?
How come we never see Canadian flags?
I will take my right as a Canadian citizen to go after my government and make sure that they complete their job, which is to end the Palestinian Holocaust and hold Israel accountable for their numerous war crimes.
So listen, you had Sinoir last week.
Are you going to have one of your cosplay comrades dress up as Adolf Hitler in the weeks ahead?
I'm not.
I'm not.
First of all, let me understand.
When you talk about cosplay, who's in cosplay?
We're talking about the person last week who was dressed up as Sinoir.
Okay.
And you've got the bloody couch there.
That's part of the pantomime.
And again, I really don't care.
You've got a hat.
I think that's an indirect message at me on the bloody couch.
Are you intimating some violence, Anus, towards me?
Sorry, first of all, I don't know who you're addressing.
And second of all, there's no violence.
Okay, then.
Then why would you put a hat that resembles mine on a bloody couch?
That's just a hat.
It doesn't look like just a hat.
Maybe it looks like yours, but that's just a hat.
Yeah.
Just a coincidence.
Oh, I can sit on the couch?
If you ask permission, we might let you.
Okay, then.
Well, I don't think I want to get blood on my haberdash.
It's not real blood, though.
You probably went to a Halloween shop for that, right?
Halloween's long done, buddy.
Well, there are still places.
But is it real blood or not?
Sorry?
Is it real blood?
That's for you to find out.
Well, I don't know how I'll find out.
I don't have access to forensic science.
Well, that's your problem, then, isn't it?
I guess it is my problem.
This is the exact location a week ago where I was arrested for merely standing on the street.
You might recall that the officer in charge said my mere presence was enough to have me arrested.
I said, that's not the Canada I know and love.
I don't have to.
Canada is my free speech zone, sir.
Sir, I understand that, okay?
But you're violating that group is inciting the potentials for violence.
I haven't incited anything.
They have.
Your presence alone.
And you have obeyed them.
So again, here's where I want you to stand.
Okay?
I know you want me to stand here, but you're not the law.
Well, I am the law.
No, you're not the law, sir.
So you're refusing to leave?
I'm refusing to leave.
Why?
Because I'm a Jew, I'm a citizen, and I'm your boss.
And I don't leave because you say Jews aren't.
Well, you know what?
In the interest of keeping peace here and public safety, you're under arrest for breach of the peace.
Take them in.
So I came back today with 50 of my closest friends.
And you know what?
The police aren't telling me to get off the sidewalk now.
And there's a lesson there.
Don't give in to bullies.
Just because the Hamas thugs outnumbered us doesn't mean they were right.
The police took the easy way out last week, but today they're actually protecting our right to be here.
Now, there was an interesting moment.
We were chanting Nazis out towards the Hamas thugs.
And I think they are Nazi-like in their hatred for Jews and their violence.
That said, as much as it is hard for us to abide, even Nazis have freedom of speech and freedom of assembly in Canada.
We have reasserted our rights as Canadian citizens to take back our streets from the Nazi Hamas thugs who have been running them for more than a year.
And I want to say thank you to everyone who came out.
And frankly, I'm not above saying, I'm not below saying that today the cops actually protected our freedom and not just that of the Nazis.
Okay.
Well, folks, I'm with Jason Bannister of Mad Lab Press.
But what makes this very interesting is that Jason is not merely a citizen journalist these days.
He used to be employed by the Toronto Police Service.
And Jason, that's my question to you.
What do you make of what we think is blatant two-tier policing going on in the city of Toronto?
Namely, you see calls for genocide and vandalism and violence, Jewish schools getting shot up, places getting firebombed that are Jewish-owned businesses, and yet the police turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to that.
But if there is a counter-demonstrator on the pro-Israel side, even doing an obscene gesture, you're going to be handcuffed and taken to 32 Division.
What's going on?
I don't know.
I got here around 9.15 and I was immediately told to get out the sidewalk.
They saw my camera and I was here for maybe one minute.
The bias that I've seen here today is unbelievable.
It really is.
And of course, you have a target on your back.
The police know who you are.
They know you used to be a police officer and they know that many of your videos is calling out police for bad behavior and they sure don't like that.
They definitely don't like it and I've gotten a lot of dirty looks today and a lot of glances that make me a little nervous but I'm standing my ground and I will stand here and film and if they want to arrest me then go ahead.
I just want to point out something that's sort of interesting.
So there are a handful of Hamas activists down there with flags and the police are protecting their right to stand there and although I find them very odious I'm libertarian enough to say even Hamas thugs have the right to stand on the public sidewalk.
That's what I'm asserting.
But I want to point something out that the police are forming a little barricade around those Hamas thugs so that the Jews can't, or the Jews and other Canadians can't press up against them.
But I want to point out that there are three Hamas Nazis here.
This guy's for the first time in his life wearing a Canadian flag, so maybe there's hope.
But I just want to point out that these Hamas thugs, they're not being threatened.
They're not being assaulted.
They're not even being insulted.
These three Hamas Nazis who every week call for the death of the Jews, call for a violent intifada, they're here and no one is aggressing against them.
And that's the difference between Canadian citizens who love our country and who respect odious people because you're allowed to be odious in Canada.
It's not a crime to be an asshole versus how no Jews are allowed to come even near those Hamas protesters or they'll be assaulted and frankly police will come in and remove the Jews.
So it's quite a contrast that these three Nazis are here and they're so safe that police don't even feel the need to stand by because that's the difference between Canadians and these foreign Hamas thugs.
I just think that's a remarkable contrast.
They're not in any danger and they know it and the police know it.
I think that's remarkable, don't you?
Tell us a whole story right there.
I've met you many times before.
Okay.
Well nice to see you, Bruce.
First of all, thank you for coming today.
And can you tell me about those medals you have there?
Well that's the Canadian Forces Decoration 12 Year Service Medal.
That's the only military medal actually.
This is the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Volunteer Service Medal.
These are basically just good citizenship medals.
So that's 12-year service in the military and what branch of the military?
I was Navy.
I was a signalman for most of it and military policeman for three years, which is what the Bere represents.
Well, it's a real honor to have you here and thank you for your service.
Can I ask you what motivated you to come?
Why are you here?
I'm delighted you're here.
I just want you to tell our viewers why you're here and I'm delighted that you're showing your medals.
What's on your mind?
Well, to support you, to support the Jews around the world, not just in Toronto, but around the world as well.
Supporting Jews Globally00:15:28
I suppose my support for Israel.
And maybe spend an afternoon in a cell with you if that comes about.
Well, it looks like thankfully the police are not going to try and arrest us all that.
They would need probably a bigger jail.
I don't think there was that many cells where the police station I was taken.
I'm glad things worked out the way they did today.
Yeah, well, I'm glad they did too, because obviously we don't want any confrontation.
We don't want anybody going to jail.
We want a peaceful demonstration.
And actually, I really liked how you pointed out those three Hamas supporting Nazis.
They're standing here.
They're quite protected.
Actually, when I first came over this side of the road, I went to the corridor right there, thinking, okay, this is where I'm supposed to be.
And I was quickly surrounded by a bunch of the Hamas agitators.
I come over here and, hey, everybody's just loving everybody.
It's free.
They don't have to worry about being here.
I apparently, if I stayed over there much longer, I probably would have gotten tussled around a little bit.
Well, folks, just when you think it can't get any worse, well, it gets worse.
I'm with Bruce Forsyth.
Bruce used to serve in the Royal Canadian Navy.
He's wearing his medals proudly.
And can you believe it?
He got blowback from the police because evidently his mere presence and patriotism was offending the pro-Hamas group.
Do I have that right, Bruce?
That's correct, yeah.
I was just standing on the other side here of the fence, just standing, not saying anything, just looking, just watching the Palestinian Hamas agitators over there.
And then the police came and said, move along.
And I said, well, why?
This is a free country.
I can stand here if I want to.
Well, move along.
And they kept insisting.
Finally, they grabbed me and physically pushed me down towards here.
I'm just saying to them, look, stop.
There's a free country.
I can stand here if I want.
I'm not, wasn't doing anything.
They tried to say that I was serving as an agitation point for them.
I was simply standing there doing nothing.
I was just watching them.
What you're doing.
You're harassing the police.
What you're doing is just all you're trying to do and instigate to get social media bids, man.
And I'm trying to be respectful.
I said thank you for your service.
I respected you numerous times.
I tried to treat you like a gentleman.
I tried to talk to you.
I tried to explain to you why you don't want to listen.
And all you're doing is giving us a hard time and trying to make us look bad while we're trying to enforce the law.
All we're here is to keep you safe.
You're not a forced worker.
We're here to keep you safe so you can protest and do whatever you like, sir.
That's all we're here to do.
Well, what I'd like to do is walk to that intersection.
Why can't he walk to the intersection?
Why can this person walk through and why can't he?
But if you enforce the law.
So I can't walk to the intersection.
So if I walk across the road, I'll tell you this one, my friend.
No, no, no.
You've been doing a lot of talking.
Let's talk like adults in exchange.
If you want to walk, you have every right to, listen.
These guys tried to arrest me because I was standing there just peacefully listening to what they were saying, taking a few pictures and whatnot.
And they grabbed me and threw me over here.
I'm surprised they didn't put me in handcuffs.
I was actually expecting that.
What happened, sir, is that you were asked by a police officer numerous times to stop inside the crowd.
I've told you that it's my right to stand on a sidewalk if I want to in Canada.
They asked you to leave numerous times and you refused to.
So we assisted you off the sidewalk.
How did he decide?
If I were there, you would have seen me.
I just had to go to the sidewalk is what you did.
I wasn't there.
It wasn't me that pushed you aside.
It wasn't.
You as in Toronto police in general.
He's a veteran.
So if I want to walk to that intersection, I'm going to get arrested, right?
I thank him numerous times.
I tried to respect this gentleman by asking him to move along nicely.
I don't know how many times I got to be very courteous to you, sir.
What else do you want from me?
What else do you want?
So I can go to the intersection.
Okay, thank you, sir.
Please have a great day, BC.
Thank you.
So if I walk right down past this to the intersection, you're going to arrest me.
Is that right?
I've explained this to you 100 times, sir.
Yes or no?
Yes or no?
What did you do to it?
Yes or no?
What did you do?
I was standing over there by the Hamas thugs there.
Just standing there listening, taking a few pictures.
That's it.
Nothing much more.
Other than that, I was just listening quietly.
You got to keep the sidewalk clear, okay?
Well, you know what?
I think I'll just walk down that way for a while.
Okay, go ahead.
Go.
Oh, now he can go.
Thank you.
I think the police, faced with no other options, decided to do the right thing and let us stand on the public sidewalk as Canadians.
It's a shame that it came down to this.
Now, there's still a few things going on that I'm not thrilled with.
I'm not thrilled with the fact that various pro-Hamas protesters committed minor assaults on our people.
When the cops weren't looking, they would punch them or hit them.
And the police are so eager not to charge these Hamas activists that they've turned a blind eye to it.
I don't like that.
I don't like the fact that they're harassing some of our people when we're walking by.
I don't like that.
But I'm going to declare this a 90% victory.
As you can see, the Canadians here, and they're not just Jews, by the way.
They're people of all different backgrounds who have come here to reassert our rights to take back our streets from these foreign-directed thugs in Hamas who have terrorized the country and be part of a year-long anti-Semitic crime wave.
It's not just an anti-Semitic crime wave.
The violence, the rioting, the trespass, the vandalism, the shooting, the Molotov cocktails.
Canada has had a crime wave because of Hamas.
And frankly, the police have abided it, partly because the police chiefs and politicians have abided it.
But I'm pleased to say that today was a day where the good guys won.
We're going to have to keep an eye on things.
And if we need to redeploy again, we will.
And look what we did.
We came here peacefully.
We came here knowing our rights and asserting them.
That's a victory.
I'd like to say thank you to the hundred people who came in.
People told me they came in from Burlington, from Guelph, from far away.
And of course, some of our rebels came in from Vancouver, from Montreal.
And I think we showed the Canadian way.
It's not perfect, but you can see someone walking by there on the sidewalk, reasserting our rights.
Absolutely.
That's what today was about.
To everyone who came, thank you.
To those who wanted to be here but couldn't make the journey.
I appreciate your moral support.
I should tell you that I intend to proceed with my lawsuit against Staff Sergeant McDuff and the Toronto Police Service for their false arrest last week.
And the reason I intend to do that is we need a judge to tell the Toronto Police Service that Canadians have the right to be on the sidewalk at all times, not just when they bring 100 friends with them to make it logistically difficult to arrest us all.
If I come back here next week by myself, I expect to have the right to walk on the sidewalk again.
And until the Toronto Police Service acknowledges my rights, we're going to have to hold them to account.
And I think that means having a judge tell them.
So I do intend to proceed with litigation against Staff Sergeant Macduff and the Toronto Police Service because I think they need the courts to tell them what they're doing is wrong.
They can't take the easy way out.
And they can't only bend the knee to Hamas just because Hamas is threatening them.
You're the biggest disgrace.
You're the biggest disgrace.
I have jihad culture here.
We don't have jihad culture in Canada, okay?
I am proud that you stand for a while.
I stand for freedom.
I am proud, okay?
I am proud, okay?
I am proud.
Hamas is terrorists.

Mir Weinstein, he is a recognized terrorist in the USA.

Simon Seema came here as a Muslim refugee.
Simon Sima.
What do you say about a terrorist, a no-terrorist, who's a leader of a terrorist organization, the Kahanis, right over there, Mir Weinstein?
What's your take on that?
And he's a Canadian soil.
He's like Canadian soil.
What do you say to that, Benz?
Jesus Christ.
It's time for you to leave.
Time for you to leave.

He's a terrorist.
So folks, I'm with Mir Weinstein of Israel Now and Persian Canadian freedom fighter Solomon Seema.
What just happened there, guys?
It looked like either late arrivals for a Halloween party or, you know, I guess guys doing more cosplay.
They did cosplay with Sinwar last week.
But it looks like they were trying to instigate something by coming over to this side of the street.
I've lost track in terms of what territory we're allowed to stand on and where we're forbidden.
So let's start with you, Solomon.
What did we just witness there?
So as long as we stand for freedom, we can ascend everywhere.
As long as we are peaceful, we can ascend everywhere.
And two Jiuhadi, they came here and they wanted pass our crowd and intimidate us.
And many brave people here, Ezra is here, you are here, my friends Daniel is here.
Many freedom fighters are here, so they cannot intimidate us.
And we forced Toronto police to kick them out.
Congratulations to the people that chanted kick them out.
Toronto police We wanted to appease with them and let them pass our crowd.
We hold the line, we didn't let, we chanted, kick them out, kick them out.
And finally, Toronto police apply current existing law against jihadist.
Let's be honest, it was the same situation that Ezra was arrested.
Still, they didn't apply current existing law.
The other guy with the other jihadi, he openly supports Yahya Seymour.
He's not even a terrorist sympathizer.
He's an actual terrorist supporter.
He needs to be jailed, or if he's not Canadian, he needs to be deported.
This is a decision by law, but we know that according to criminal code of Canada, any support of terrorism is illegal in Canada.
And Solman, I think the big question, I think today so far has been a resounding victory for those who want to, well, walk on the Canadian sidewalk as they're entitled to, for freedom of the press.
Last week, of course, my beloved boss, Ezra Levant, he was frog marched.
He was arrested, taken to 32 Division.
My question for you, sir, is are the police suddenly doing the right thing or is this all about safety in numbers?
It's not about a police.
It's a willing of Canadian patriots, okay?
Freedom convoy defeat COVID-19, okay?
And if we stand united with Jews, brother and sister, if we stand united with Iranians, with Indians, a diverse community, I can see black people here, I can see Jewish friends here.
I am Iranian from many different backgrounds.
If we stand united on guard for Canada, for freedom, no one can defeat us.
And Meyer, before the costume party began, you got into a war of words with Mr. Enos.
And it didn't go well for him for a change.
He was frog marched away because it's always been our observation that when Hamas orders the police to do something, they do it.
But this time he was taken away.
But what I want to get at, he kept yelling at you that you are a terrorist.
What the heck is he talking about?
They are trying to paint the pro-Israel side, Jews who support Israel as terrorists, vile.
They're trying to say that the Jewish Defense League is a terrorist organization.
I'm born in Canada.
Jewish Defense League is not a terrorist organization at all.
It's not according to the government of Canada, not according to the police.
It's a complete fabrication.
You know, it seems that Enos suffers from a psychological condition called progression.
So in other words, if someone is a psychopath, they accuse others of being a psychopath.
They ascribe their worst values onto others.
The idea of calling out Israel, you know, the only true democracy in the Middle East, as being a terrorist state, I guess that's another example of projection.
Absolutely, that's how it is with them.
And, you know, thank God the state of Israel and the Israeli army is taking care of the major terrorist organizations, Hezbollah and Hamas.
They have nothing to boast about when you look at the condition of Gaza right now.
They thought it was a resounding success to slaughter Jews on October 7th, 2023, but they completely failed.
The leadership of Hamas has been destroyed.
The leadership of Hezbollah and leaders in Iran have been eliminated as well.
Amplified Sounds Controversy00:04:18
Listen, we're here.
Our bottom line here is to take back the streets in the Toronto Jewish community that these Hamas supporters have been invading for the past several weeks.
And thank God, I say that sincerely, that the Toronto police are finally receptive and finally marching those Hamas supporters out of here, just like they did last week with Ezra Levant wrongly to Ezra, who stood up for what was he doing, trying to document what's going on.
Thank God the cops are finally standing up and doing something remarkable today.
You know, right now I'm like, General Bylaw was here to yeah, hi sir, what brings you out here, bylaw on this lovely Sunday?
Yeah, I'm with the City of Toronto noise enforcement team.
Okay.
We're here just to just make sure that any amplified sounds are in compliance with the bylaw.
You know, sir, what a lot of people find perversely amusing, if you can use that term, you're measuring the amplification of the sound, but the sound coming out of the pro-Hamas people, they're chanting for genocide.
That's contrary to section 319 of the criminal code, and nothing is happening.
It's been like that for 13 months in Olivia Chow City.
Isn't that the real problem?
I can't speak to that.
All I'm dealing with is the City of Toronto noise bylaw.
And what we're focusing on is the amplified sounds.
But wouldn't you agree that maybe amplification of sound is a far less greater sin than the sounds coming out of the pro-Hamas people, which are chanting for the genocide of the Jewish people, sir?
I was pretty clear in my statement.
All I'm dealing with is the amplified sound portion.
I know what you're trying to do, but I'm just trying to get clarity into saying something that is what I'm here for.
Are you okay with the nature of their chanting?
That the noise from the amplified sounds are in compliance with the bylaw.
Plain and simple.
That's it.
Oh my god, yeah.
Of course I'm so happy.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm in the car.
That's about how many bucks he had to leave this guy.
He's trying to hide his face though.
Oh.
How are you doing?
Why'd you do that?
Why'd you do that?
Stand on the truck and I'm just talking to Lisa.
He sat on the truck.
This is how they keep him doing it.
Don't arrest them.
Who's in here?
One of the warmth.
David, just be careful, bro.
Hey, how are ya?
Smart thing to do.
He got one new building where there's a back door.
He'll be back, though.
He'll be back.
The bike sir, why were you spitting at our uh, our truck?
You assault a police officer, sir.
Standoff with Hamas Supporters00:04:51
Are you a Pro-hamas or a communist?
Why are you spitting at our truck?
Where are you?
Why are you running?
Are you out of gas, or is this one of these e-scooters?
You're out of juice.
Where are you going, sir?
Why did you assault a police officer?
We have you on why are you assaulting people?
Sir, you know with monkeypox being a thing you shouldn't be spitting and you're wearing a disguise.
I know isn't it terrible these electric things?
Oh, look at him go, yeah.
Like a bat out of hell, he'll be gone with the morning sun.
Hello, my friends, it's 12 noon.
We've been here for three hours and I am prepared to declare today a victory, a 90% victory.
Not a 100% victory, but a 90% victory.
Here's what I mean.
One week ago, in this very place, I was arrested and Staff Sergeant McDuff said it was because my mere presence was inciting a breach of the peace, and what he meant was the Hamas thugs didn't like me here.
And the Hamas thugs said why?
Because I'm Jewish, because I'm a Zionist, but mainly because I'm a Canadian journalist who was exposing what they did.
And I thought I refuse to allow that to be the precedent.
I refuse to allow my country to have a police force that says I can be taken off the sidewalk for committing no crime other than offending foreign terrorist activists in our country.
That just could not stand.
So I emailed our supporters of every race and every religion with one request, stand with me.
Stand with me, even if it means you could be arrested too.
And a hundred people came out today, and I think that is why the police did the right thing, because for them to try and arrest a hundred of us was simply logistically impossible and it would be an international scandal.
I should tell you that the video of my arrest last week has been seen more than 20 million times, and it was featured on news around the world, including on major American networks, and even Canadian mainstream media reported about it.
So the police no longer saw it as the path of least resistance to arrest me, because a hundred of my closest friends were here with me.
So first of all, let me say thank you to you for keeping me out of jail And, second of all, thank you for being peaceful.
I thought it was interesting that there were three pro-Hamas activists standing amongst the Canadian side here, and they were not abused.
They didn't need police to come and rescue them because our side is peaceful.
We believe in the rule of law, and that's why it pains us to see the police have a two-tier policing system.
Now, the reason I say it was only a 90% victory instead of a 100% victory is because there were assaults committed against our side by the Hamas activists, and police turned a blind eye.
And I think that that's part of the problem: we have set a precedent where we turn a blind eye to actual crimes by the Hamas side, uttering threats, assault, vandalism, trespass.
And it's been even worse in some cases.
There was a riot in Montreal a week ago, and hundreds of people participated.
There were only three arrests.
So we're not out of this trouble yet.
But I think today was an important first step at retaking our streets.
Canada's streets belong to Canadians, and no foreign thugs have the power to kick us off our streets.
We proved that today in Toronto, and it's my hope that that is proven every day from coast to coast.
So thank you to everybody for coming out today.
I declare a victory over the forces of censorship and bullying and terrorism and extremism today.
Ordinary Canadians of all backgrounds won and the Hamas activists lost.
