Far-right activist arrested at anti-Israel rally in Toronto after refusing to cross road: ‘It’s because I’m a Jew’
2024-11-25
[IsraelTimes] Canadian far-right political pundit Ezra Levant has been arrested at a pro-Hamas rally in Toronto, after he refused police instructions to move away from the demonstration, claiming he was being discriminated against for being Jewish.

In a video of the arrest posted to social media by Levant’s Rebel News platform, officers can be heard telling the conservative activist that his presence at the pro-Palestinian rally was “inciting the crowd.”

“It’s because I’m a Jew,” Levant insists during an argument with the officer over his order to move away from the demonstration.

“I’m refusing to leave because I’m a Jew, and I’m a citizen, and I’m your boss. And I don’t leave because you say Jews aren’t allowed on this side of the street.”

The officer then tells him he is under “arrest for breaching the peace,” at which point the protesters erupt in cheers and calls of “Zionist” and “loser.”

Photos from the Toronto demonstration posted to social media show an activist dressed as slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the terror group’s brutal October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel, posing in a stuffed armchair to recreate the final moments before he was killed by Israel in Gaza last month.

Another protester holds a sign reading, “Free flights to Amsterdam,” a reference to a wave of widespread, coordinated attacks against Israeli tourists in the Dutch capital, following a soccer game earlier this month.

#10  I met Ezra many years ago when he gave a talk here in my hometown. A very interesting guy and a very clear thinker. Wish we had more like him here in Canuckistan.

#8  A news hound whom no one can curb,
He's determined and bound to disturb,
But a friend to the end
Of the Jews he'll defend!

#1  So now opposing people who make no secret of the fact that their ultimate goal is genocide is "far-right"?
