Stop Calling It A Protest And Start Calling It Crime

If your leaders treat antisemitic violence and attacks on critical infrastructure as a political inconvenience, they’re choosing power over people. This episode of The Rant Network rips into the normalization of antisemitism, the escalation from protest to sabotage, and governments that shrug while factories, synagogues, and communities are targeted; it calls out the failure to designate violent groups, the hypocrisy of selective outrage, and the real danger of letting extremist tactics metastasize into domestic terror — groups that commit violence are responsible for severe harm and must be condemned and prosecuted.

Hump Day Turns Dark

SPEAKER_01 0:09

It's a hump day.

SPEAKER_00 0:10

It's a hump day.

SPEAKER_01 0:11

It's a hump day. But you know, Stuart, I'll tell you something. Worse than a hump day, it's become a shit day. It's a shit show day. We're seeing more and more and more.

Antisemitism Becomes Normalized

SPEAKER_01 0:22

Anti-Semitism is now normalized in Western society in such a way that it's actually gone, it's actually gone even further. And we've been warning people for years about this, and people are like, nah, you guys always exaggerate. Nah, it's not a big deal. Well, the deal has gotten worse, and it's not going to be only for Jews, Stuart. But if you let it happen to Jews, it's going to happen to others. As we talked about Mamdani and his brilliance, that piece of schmuck, who decided that you know Italians and Irish don't have a place in New York. But Stuart, when terrorist groups are in your home, that should raise the level.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Let's go.

Ontario Factory Attack Breakdown

SPEAKER_00 1:04

Over the weekend. July 12th, 20th, you know, 13th. Can ever talk in the weekend? A group calling itself the Palestine, Palestine Action Canada. Claimed responsibility. I was waiting for Ontario Inc. actually, yeah. It claimed responsibility for a physical attack on uh Deshaun Limited, an advanced manufacturing company in Concord, Ontario, alleging that the firm supplied equipment linked to Israeli defense contractor El Bit Systems. The Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs, CIGA, is now demanding Ottawa formally designate Palestine Action Canada as a terrorist organization. CIGA noted the UK has already banned the broader Palestine Action Movement and argues Canada is dangerously behind its allies in protecting both critical defense infrastructure and Jewish community safety and Jewish community businesses. Sounds a little bit like uh what I used to say was crystal mouth. Hang on, I lost my nose here. This is what happens when governments spend years treating anti-Israel extreme it as passionate protests instead of what it actually is. Radicalized domestic terrorism. Canada Trudeau era peas culture built the runway for this attack. Back in May, CIJA was already sounding the alarm, calling for a proactive listening of Palestine action. Before it struck, Ottawa ignored them. Now Canada and Canadian defense suppliers have been physically targeted, and Kearney's government is still playing catch up. In the United States, Republicans have been pushing the State Department and the DOJ to treat pro-Hamas agitators as national security threats. That they actually are. This Canadian attack is proof of the concept that the conservative hardliners have been warning about for years. And it's hard if you don't go ahead of these groups, they're gonna escalate. So do the similar liberal party. That's been we wonderfully talked about there in our show. Palestine Action Canada didn't just attack the factory, they attacked the industrial supply chain that supports Israel's right to defend itself. Elbit Systems, one of Israeli's premier defense contractors, responsible for technology to protect its soldiers and civilians from Hamas and Hezbollah rockets. These activists know exactly what they're doing. They're trying to physically strangle the Israeli defense production network, one Allied nation at a time. Canada has it. This gap is not an oversight, it's a policy failure that tells pro-Israel businesses operating in foreign soil like Canada that their government will not protect them. CIJA is the right in that Ottawa needs to act today and not wait till tomorrow or another attack. Palestine Action Canada didn't spray paint the wall. They physically attacked a defense manufacturing facility on Canadian soil. If that's not terrorism as a word, is a meaning, then I don't know what is. Where are you, little Marky Carney? CIJ called for the proactive listing. Palestine action back in May. Little Mark Carney, nowhere to be found. Two months before this attack, Ottawa sat on their hands warning that this was going to happen. The government chose Little Mark Carney action. You know, little person's problem. Maybe Napoleon's here, I'm not sure. A skilled jobs manufacturer in Constantinople, Ontario, the kind of place real Canadians want to go and work every morning, just got targeted by domestic terrorists. And the feds will still do nothing to pull the trigger and terror as a designation as a terror organization. What about all those employees that work there that are Canadian taxpayers? Mark Carney doesn't care.

Protest Or Terrorism Debate

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Listen, the left line is that Palestine Action is a protest movement. Designating them as a terrorist criminalizes dissent and chills free speech around a legitimate pause. Well, hang on a second, David. Isn't there the moral police now where legitimate dissension of government is illegal in Canada? We'll get there in a minute. Why it collapses? The United Kingdom, hardly a right-wing authoritarian state, has already banned the broader Palestine action movement. CIJ isn't asking Canada to arrest protesters that hold sides. They're asking the government to designate a group that just physically attacked critical national defense infrastructure and claimed responsibility on Instagram. The movement you move from speech to sabotage. You've left protest zone entirely. No serious legal framework protects this right of attack of a factory. And the chilling dissent argument is bad faith sealed. For those who know these groups are operating as pri you know, paramilitary actors until they escalate a tad more. You know, on Monday, they were bragging about this. By Tuesday, Ottawa still hasn't designated as a terrorist organization. David, your government is choosing them over you. You know, despite this layup, Canada, CIJA, is explicitly pointing to UK as its model, demanding Ottawa and its allies to follow suit. David, can hammer the Kearney government failure to match UK's result tied to a broader pattern of Canadian institutional softness on anti-Israel extremism since October 7th? If attacked and had been on a mosque or a synagogue, how fast would the terrorist declination have come? Why is a defense manufacturing system different?

Liberal Government Response Under Fire

SPEAKER_01 8:03

Look, Stuart. Look, Stuart, you're getting in let's you're you got into a very interesting story here. It's very simple. Kearney's government just doesn't care. Carney's government has stood up on time and time again and has tried to placate the Jewish community of Canada, which is barely 1% of the population here, but has the highest percentage per capita of racial attacks. Antisemitism is on an extraordinary uptick. And the Kearney government kind of says, okay, we'll give you $10 million to secure your religious institutions, synagogues, community centers. It doesn't include businesses. And the problem is that the liberal government under Mark Kearney continues to wave the flag of the liberal party just like Chuck Schumer does in the United States. When you talk about a guy like Chuck Schumer, who is a Democrat first, an American second, and maybe a Jew third, that is what you're getting of the people in the Liberal Party of Canada. Evan Solomon, who is the Minister of AI, digital innovation, as well as responsible for federal economic development in Southern Ontario, was asked about this. He stood up in government and he's clearly accused the conservatives of what? False information, fake news, gaslighting. And Evan, of all people, who says who stands up and says he was Jewish and was and he's bar mitzvah, and that's a synagogue in Toronto that was attacked or whatever. But the conservatives are creating a bigger problem than what is really there. And I'm paraphrasing. That's what happens, Stuart, when you have Jews who stand up in government in the Liberal Party and are Canadian, our Liberals first, Canadians second, and maybe Jews third. We're not even standing for our own people. And that includes others like who are being elected to the government, including your friend Mr. Anthony Housefather, who I was waiting for you to pick on. But here's the here's the thing, though it doesn't stop. In Canada, like in Ireland, like in Spain, like in a lot of other Western in France, a lot of countries, the governments are taking a back seat on what's really ripe. They're not standing for humanity, right? Because if Jews are inhumane, as many have accused us, okay, well, then the liberals are just giving in. What is the what are the Liberal Party more interested

JNF Charitable Status And Double Standards

SPEAKER_01 10:31

in? Well, the Canadian Revenue Agency removed from the Jewish National Fund its charitable status. Why? Because there was this crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy link that they put a park near or in a military base in Israel, and as a result, CRA pulled the charitable status away. Not the Palestinian ones, not the ones that have been are on that on terrorists, Jewish National Fund, a group that promotes environmental affairs, Stuart. Green, green, right? You remember as a kid planting trees in Israel, the water systems that they've been they've funded, all these things. And the fact that they actually put a park, you know, near a on a military base or near a military base, I don't remember exactly what it was. That was the egregious act. And as a result, JNF was lost, lost their charitable status. This is what the government is looking to focus on. They're not looking to focus on what's right. Now it's interesting, Stuart, because why aren't we attacking Russian businesses? Or why aren't we attacking companies that supply Russia? We're not. Why aren't we attacking businesses that supply Iran indirectly or directly? We're not. Only Israel. Only Israel and these hateful groups that continue to populate themselves in Canada have found a haven. They found a haven, Stewart, because for decades they've been here waiting, plotting, and now they're mobilizing. And they know that the Liberal government of Canada is not going to move on these guys because the community that is elected Mr. Kearney in Greater Toronto represents more the Muslim community than it does the Jewish community. Same thing in Vancouver, and now growing in Montreal as well. So why would you give up seats in your parliament if you give in to the Jews? The Conservatives have been screaming in Canada for neck now for over two decades that Canada is really a problem. And under Trudeau, it was welcome in Monlin, the IRGC is here. Known fact. Other groups are here, known fact. The attacks, the payments, everything, they're here. The media won't say a word. Social media is not going to go after them. And now, with as you said, you brought up the legislation that if you bring up and you comment about the Canadian government and they think it's what you're saying is false, could lead you to be arrested. That just goes to show you where the priorities are for the liberal government of Canada. Yeah, Mr. Carney may have done some good things for the economy of Canada, and maybe he's done some things to help Canadians to kind of take them away from the reality that he's allowing racism to fester in Canada. And they start, as you saw with Mamdani, it starts with the Jews, it doesn't end there. And what's gonna happen, Stuart, is we're gonna have an elected we've we have elected officials. I mean, Mr. Kearney decided we need an anti-Semitism council, and who did he put on it? Two people that you cannot imagine. One single Omar Al Habra. Omar is a staunch anti-Semite, anti-Israel. Okay, he's he's been accused of supporting these Palestinian terrorist groups, and he's on the anti-Semitism Council. Now you tell me, is that not the inmates running this?

SPEAKER_00 14:08

Well, that's the same as Iran having the the women's thing. It's all laughable, you know. It's not it's it's to the point where laughable is actually a dangerous statement. You know, I don't know how if I was in Canada, how I would greet. You know,

Jews Leaving Canada And What’s Next

SPEAKER_00 14:28

I'll tell you how to call I'm gonna call that baby.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

Hold on, I'll tell you how you would greet, okay? Because what would you do if you were faced with this? What would you do? Are you sticking around? Are you what so apparently, and this has become a real issue here now, and I'm trying to remember his name, so you'll forgive me as I'm looking it up. But the uh the president of Shopify, the Ottawa guy, yeah. We yeah, he stood up and he said, Jews are leaving, Jews are leaving Canada.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

And how could you blame them? Yeah, the president that's Greenspoon, you know, that's Richie Greenspoon's cousin. I I actually know I actually know the family, you know. You know, the end of the day, David, they're in the diaspora. You know, what would you expect?

SPEAKER_01 15:21

Yeah, but you know, when you get a schmuck like Rahm Emanuel who goes to Israel and claims, you know, he supports Israel on one side, but we gotta get rid of BB because BB's doing bad things for Jews around the world, that's not what what what this this is all about. Lindsey Graham, may you rest in peace, was was was was was the one who got it right. You gotta wipe out the bad, you gotta wipe out the bad guys, and you know who the bad guys are, and if you don't wipe them out, they're only gonna grow. So, what is the story here? What is it that what Mark Kearney, if he wants to become just like France, Spain, Ireland, that has overwhelmed Belgium, Holland, all these countries that are overwhelmed with with radical Muslims. I'm not saying all Muslims are bad and don't yell and scream and accuse us of racism because you guys all like to do that. Of course, nonsensical labeling. But the radical Islamists, even if they are 10% of the population, Stuart, which they're higher, but let's go with 10%, that's a large number. And I'm still waiting for the time that you guys tell me that Jews attack Muslim institutions the way these radical Muslims are attacking Jews. Doesn't make sense.

SPEAKER_00 16:35

David, none of that makes sense. And to the little Mark Kearney police that go door to door and saying you're speaking inappropriately about your government, I think their uh tires should be uh taken off. And you know, that's probably a statement that would probably get me in some hot water if I lived in Canada. And you know what? It's not the land of the free anymore, it's the land of the oppressed. And I don't know how much longer uh the free nation of Canada will can actually be called a free nation. They tax you to death, they charge the exit tax, can't even get the hell out of there. David, you know what time it is?

Closing Thoughts On A Changing Canada

SPEAKER_01 17:12

Stuart, I'll tell you, you you wrapped it up in a bow, but Canada is not the Canada that people always thought it was. Were the one you left a number of years ago?

unknown 17:21

We're done.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

South Park had it right, David. South Park had it running. Oh, baby, David. All right, everybody went.
