Just remember anything b west of OntariOWE isn’t considered Canada by our government.
So if he wasn’t supporting Hamas, why would a Canadian kid be in a war zone?

So it's Illegal to bbq in open fields in the West Bank.
Which is not Gaza.
Oh well, who cares, right? Just another Palestinian kid dead, even if he was Palestinian American... move along, he deserved to die, was probably a terrorist...
Right?
So, in light of what’s being recognized (again) this week, regarding UNRWA, we as Canadian taxpayers are Terrorist supporters by our own definition.
It’s a tangled web, but not new news, & thus the reason PM Harper suspended funding to UNRWA & thus HAMAS back in 2010…but, it was reinstated in 2016 by PM Trudeau because…stuff & reasons.Wilf has met with and warned Canadian officials at the embassy in Tel Aviv about what was happening to their donations to UNRWA but her warnings were ignored. We cannot say that the Trudeau government didn’t know what was happening to our funding, we can say they didn’t care to look deeper or believe the evidence.

A screengrab from video inside Edmonton City Hall on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024.
A screengrab from video inside Edmonton City Hall on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024.
It’s not every day there is a jihadist-inspired terror attack in Canada related to Israel’s war in Gaza that few seem to know about.
But it did happen and the country is just fortunate no one was murdered in the process. The potential was definitely there.
This was an all-out Gaza-inspired, jihadist terror attack with gunfire and home-made bombs at Edmonton’s City Hall on Tuesday and not a word out of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about it so far. In fact, on X he was talking about being at the women’s professional hockey game in Ottawa.
This was a terrifying incident. Security video shows a man entering Edmonton’s City Hall wearing a Commissionaires Security jacket and carrying a long gun and appearing to shoot it. Police say he was “heavily” armed.
But no one seems to be talking about it much.
It’s almost like this potentially genocidal rampage was missed by the country. Or even covered up or softened in terms of its seriousness.
Certainly, when you compare the coverage to the reaction of media and politicians on the truckers’ Freedom Convoy or the arrests and trials of Tamara Lich, Chris Barber and Pat King or the Coutts Alberta four conspiracy to commit murder case, it’s a head scratcher how understated this incident has been so far when you weigh and compare the evidence.
What happened here is way more serious than anything that happened with the truckers protest. But you would never know that judging from the reaction of the the media and political class.
However things are spun about what happened in Edmonton Tuesday, this was clearly as dark and concerning as something can ever get. In addition to the horror of security video showing the armed man during his attack, a taped manifesto which included Arabic greetings was also discovered.
This was one close call to being something nobody could even attempt to downplay.
Let’s review what we know.
“At approximately 10:18 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024, a male parked his vehicle in the City Hall underground parkade, then entered the building from the parkade access,” Edmonton Police say. “Once inside City Hall, he lit several handheld incendiary devices, believed to be Molotov cocktails, that caused one small fire outside an elevator. He then fired several rounds from a long gun into the ceiling, walls and windows.”
Thankfully “no one was struck by gunfire” and that a brave security officer knew what to do.
“The male then dropped the firearm on the floor and surrendered to a City Hall security Commissionaire, who detained him until police arrived moments later,” police said, adding they “and RCMP Tactical teams then worked for several hours to secure and clear the building of any further threats, escorting out citizens who had been sheltering in place in various locations throughout City Hall.”
The alleged terror suspect is Bezhani Sarvar, 28, himself a Canadian Corps of Commissionaires security guard but not at City Hall. In an orange jumpsuit he made his first appearance in court Thursday and has been remanded in custody until at least Feb. 2 when a bail hearing is expected to commence.
People have heard his voice in what is believed to be a home-made video. In the video the man, who is believed to have come to Canada in 2012 from Afghanistan, is taped suggesting people fight against “this corruption, into this genocide that’s going on in Gaza and throughout the world” and “inshallah (‘if God wills’ in Arabic), we will rise against you guys, and we’ll put you on trial.”
He also said, “Salaam-Alaikum, brothers and sisters, before I do my mission, I want you all to know that I am not a psychopath. I do not believe in bloodshed,” adding, “I am not one of these monsters that hurt children, that hurt innocents, and that promote wars all around the civilization of our society.”
He added “I’m just tired of seeing the tyranny and corruption taking over our society and our lives.”
Edmonton Police say it is “aware of a video circulating that may be related to this incident” and investigators are reviewing this video” along with the RCMP and INSET (National Security Enforcement Teams).
“Our officers are working closely with our national security partners on this investigation,” said Chief Dale McFee. “I would like to reassure the public that we believe there is no further threat to public safety at this time. The investigation is in its early stages, and we will continue to update Edmontonians as it progresses.”
McFee also said, “We believe this individual acted alone” and “believe there are no other accomplices.”
But how does anybody know for sure? We heard that same explanation in 2018 with Danforth shooter Faisal Hussain, who shot to death two young women on a July night and wounded 13 other people. Despite having connections to a brother before the courts and having earlier travelled to Pakistan, and sparing some in his bloody path, a conclusion was made that no one knew why he committed these heinous crimes. But there was so much carnage, there was no easy way to gloss it over.
The video manifesto in Edmonton reminds of the killer in the Cenotaph slaying of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a terror event at Parliament Hill that saw the terrorist tape a video.
In this week’s case, no one was hurt or killed, so there appears to be little interest in it.
But things could have turned out differently. What we do know is this was a terror attack at a hall of democracy that could have resulted in massive carnage and very few people are even talking about it.
B’nai Brith Canada says they are “deeply troubled” after learning of the “terrifying events that unfolded in Edmonton.”
“We fear that the perpetrator’s reference to the Israel-Hamas conflict in their manifesto will only lead to the further incitement against Canadian Jews in the midst of an unprecedented surge in antisemitic incidents,” Marty York, of B’nai Brith Canada, said.

Wow... not nice when someone accuses you of supporting terrorists even when it's stupid and obviously not so, isn't it?
My point was, a terrorist attack - according to those here - demands the country instantly retaliate.
So we should - by their view - be attacking Afghanistan, since that's where he came from.
You pointed out all our 'equipment' was in Ukraine. But why should that matter?
He attacked, we should retaliate. Circumstances don't matter, outside issues don't matter, nothing matters but retaliation against terrorism.
End of.
After all, that's the whole opinion about Israel and Hamas.
(and yes, I realize that the situation there IS more complicated and involved, and yet in the end, it's still the same thing)
Thank you for showing you didn't read the article what so ever.
No further comment needed.
That's fair. Anything east of the 100th meridian isn't considered Canada by your probable next government.
Rape crisis centre supporting pro-Hamas rally another low in Toronto
Author of the article:Joe Warmington
Published Jan 26, 2024 • Last updated 1 day ago • 4 minute read
Just when you thought you might have seen everything comes a Toronto rape clinic helping to organize a pro-Hamas march just months after the systemic Oct. 7 raping of women.
You read it right.
Davenport for Ceasefire, Parkdale-High Park for Palestine and the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre plans to hold a “Community Art Build and Poster Making” event at Bloor St. W. and Dundas St. W between 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Saturday to “prepare” for a pro-Palestine march on Sunday.
Calling it “family-friendly,” the poster has a “free Palestine” meme and logos from the three organizations.
But the fact one of them is the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre (TRCC) is raising many concerns. Obviously, after many testimonials from at least ten women who were subject to sexual violence on the Black Sabbath that was Oct. 7, it’s highly inappropriate for a rape centre to be involved in something like this.
But it’s egregious anyway.
Why would a rape crisis centre get involved in something like this? How could any Jewish woman ever seek out support there in light of this?
“It is beyond disappointing to see the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre participating in this event,” community leader Ariella Kimmel said. “As a Jewish woman, I’ve watched for months since October 7th as those around us excluded victims of sexual violence because they are Israeli. Hamas didn’t just commit their atrocities, they were so proud of them, they livestreamed them.”
It was all so horrifying. But months later, it’s like its being celebrated.
And the whole truth on how many women were raped Oct. 7 is still unknown. There are still many missing and kidnapped people, many were killed and can’t talk, and others have not yet spoken of what they went through.
It’s surprising how many people are prepared to move on from Oct. 7.
“It is alarming that the TRCC would choose to partake in an event critical of Israel, while it has chosen to remain silent and not condemn the sexual violence experienced by Israeli women during the October 7th attack,” B’nai Brith’s Director of Research and Advocacy Richard Robertson said. “Silence from organizations such as the TRCC has enabled Israel’s detractors to repeatedly deny the trauma of sexual violence experienced by Israeli women.”
“By participating in an event with an organization that calls for a ceasefire, while ignoring the Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas, including women who we know are enduring acts of acts of rape, the TRCC is sending a clear message to Jewish women, and taking away a safe space for them to come when victimized,” he added.
The TRCC has not yet returned a request for comment. Nor has the office of Premier Doug Ford, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or Mayor Olivia Chow, who may all be interested in this since this centre is a recipient of provincial funding that comes from taxpayers in their jurisdictions.
Thanks to some research from Olga Goldberg, we have learned that Toronto sends $11,500 annually to the TRCC, while the Ontario Trillium Foundation provided $24,500. The work they do is important and no taxpayers mind seeing money earmarked for the centre. But if any of that money is being used in a political way to support a group that killed more than 1,200 people and kidnapped up to 250 others, many say they do have a problem.
Throw in the fact there were so many women raped – and that there still are hostages – and this whole thing is gross.
While the International Court of Justice ruled Friday it’s inaccurate to call Israel defending itself against the Oct. 7 barbaric attack as genocide, they did not deal with the real culprits of that day in Hamas.
But anti-Israel sentiment around the world is one thing. It’s abhorrent when it happens locally.
“The rape crisis should be a place any person experiencing sexual assault should feel comfortable to go,” explained Joanna Salit, who is a registered social worker with a Master’s Degree in the field and understands these resources from the administration to the ground treatment level.
What she sees here with this event, is something she has not seen before in Canada.
“Clearly, they are excluding Jewish women and Israel women and that is appalling,” she said. “Sexual assault was used as weapons of war by Hamas, which has not been acknowledged by this organization. It is really upsetting. They are supporting rapists when they are supposed to supporting all people who are sexually assaulted.”
Kimmel agrees.
“If you advocate for women, then that advocacy cannot be dependent on whether you agree with the government of the country from which the victim comes,” she maintains.
It’s hard to imagine anybody would want to take part in something so vile, but if this does indeed happen Saturday, Jewish women should heed the warning of what that means.

WARMINGTON: Rape crisis centre supporting pro-Hamas rally another low in Toronto
A Toronto rape clinic is helping to organize a pro-Hamas march just months after the systemic raping of women on Oct. 7.
What we know about Israel’s allegations against UNRWA staffers in Gaza — CNN
UNRWA, the main UN agency in war-torn Gaza, is in turmoil after Israel accused some of its staffers of involvement in Hamas’ October 7 attacks.
One of the major reasons for the court’s rulings being ineffective is that they do not account for Hamas, the terrorist organization that started the war on Oct. 7 and the one organization in this conflict that has explicitly called for the destruction of another state and its people, namely Israel.
The court mentioned that it was the attacks by Hamas that started the conflict and in one paragraph said it was “gravely concerned about the fate of the hostages” abducted by the group, calling for “their immediate and unconditional release.”
But that was it. There were only a few other mentions of Hamas in the rulings, and that was only when the court was evaluating the evidence before it.
It could be argued that the case before the court was about Israel’s role and whether it was committing genocide, so Hamas and its intentions and actions were irrelevant. But in a war, how can you evaluate the conduct of one side without also examining the role of the other?
On Friday, the ICJ did not order a ceasefire but was clearly signalling that Israel must rein in its assault on Gaza.
The court, rightly, said that what was happening in Gaza was tragic. The Hamas-run health ministry says more than 26,000 people have been killed in Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces says it has killed more than 9,000 Hamas terrorists.
One very quick way to stop the suffering would be for Hamas to release the more than 100 hostages it still holds.

“The [International] Court of Justice’s decision is an important development which contributes to isolating Israel and exposing its crimes in Gaza,” it said in a statement.

Top UN court orders Israel to take all measures to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza, but does not call for ceasefire.
Israel accuses UNRWA of turning a blind eye as Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, siphons off aid intended for civilians and fights from in and around U.N. facilities, several of which have been struck during the war. It also has exposed Hamas tunnels running next to or under UNRWA facilities and accuses the agency of teaching hatred of Israel in its schools.

I'll ask you the same thing I asked RCS - when do we attack Afghanistan for retaliation of the terrorist from earlier this week was from?
Are you asking about the Dude in Edmonton in their City Hall or whatever? Is that the tangent? Is this guy (I know almost nothing about it beyond the fact that he didn’t manage to kill anybody thankfully) from Afghanistan? Or his parents are from Afghanistan? Is he a Canadian citizen, or a landed immigrant? A refugee?
Did he get off a plane from Afghanistan and go straight to the Edmonton City Hall? Is he working for the Afghanistan Gov’t? Is he a member of the Taliban or some other faction of that ilk?
Did RCS respond to you or was he also mildly confused by the tangent? Can you expand on this so I can follow your logic behind the question so I can give it a fair shake?
Are you talking about someone else that is from Afghanistan & involved in something else?
You’re referring to this guy or someone else? Bezhani Sarvar is a 28-year-old man who is accused of shooting and throwing a Molotov cocktail at Edmonton City Hall on January 23, 2024.
He is a native of Afghanistan and has lived in Canada since 2012. He is charged with arson, possession of incendiary material, careless use of a firearm, use of a firearm while committing an offense, and throwing an explosive substance…but surprisingly nothing about terrorism.
In the days leading up to the attack, Sarvar posted several videos on social media in which he expressed support for the Palestinian cause and condemned the Israeli government. He also expressed a desire to attack Western governments, etc…
While specific details about Sarvar’s background are still pending, his use of Arabic greetings hints at a cultural affiliation with the broader Muslim community.
The connections to Muslim and Arabic culture underscore the importance of a thorough investigation to unravel the complexities surrounding Sarvar’s actions. Is this behind your question as the way we should be, or shouldn’t be, or when are we, going to retaliate against Afghanistan? Just making sure I’m on the right tangent here?
Hey were you involved with the synagogue defacement in Freddybeach ? Fredricton .
Yes.
What he did was a terrorist attack. We can claim it's other things to be charged with, but it was terrorism.
So, do we attack Afghanistan because that's where he came from?
Doesn't matter if he came here weeks, months or years ago.
It's a terrorist act.
RCS told me to fuck off because I asked if he supported terrorism, because he said all our equipment was in Ukraine. Which doesn't matter. He's a terrorist from Afghanistan. (I also said it to point out that being against an attack on a nation - for whatever reason (in his case, "Equipment issues") - doesn't mean you support terrorists.)
I'll tell you as I told him:
Sounds like it to me too, but I know little about that one yet still.
One guy? From 12 years ago. Is he a member of the Afghanistan government? The Taliban? Etc… still trying to grasp this one. Still not grasping the tangent.
Ok.
Ok.
Ok
Ok.
Ok.
Ok.
