In addition to charges for arson, criminal harassment, threats and mischief, Azar was also hit with multiple gun charges, including two counts of possessing a prohibited weapon. Police also said he was found with materials to forge illegal credit cards.
Although a police statement said it was unable to provide more specifics about the case due to a “court-imposed publication ban,” it said that Azar “has been released following a bail hearing with several conditions imposed.”

Amir Arvahi Azar, 32, has been charged by Toronto Police with 29 criminal counts, including “advocating genocide,” a charge that police noted was “rarely laid in Canada.”
Despite this – and despite allegedly being caught with three loaded handguns and being accused of an eight-month antisemitic crime spree – he’s been released on bail.

So who is he? Spooks are known for multiple IDs and fake credit cards. Who does he work for that there is a media ban?
Well, from what I saw hours ago this morning, they weren’t talking about deportation or diplomatic immunity. Maybe we’ll trade him with Alabama in a spy exchange & some trade concessions or something…but that’s not mentioned either.
WATCH: NDP canvasser says he understands why Arabs would want Israel gone — Toronto Sun
A resident waves away Hull-Aylmer NDP candidate Pascale Matecki (bottom), and NDP canvasser Julien Newman, after the constituent overheard their conversation a the security camera. Newman was recording saying, as Matecki nodded her head: they “totally understand why the Arabs would want Israel...
“Organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas really are trying to stand up for their people and that needs to be recognized. These are movement for national liberation, not terrorists,” he says in the video.
(Both groups are listed as terrorist organizations in Canada. The war in Gaza erupted after Hamas launched a massive surprise attack against civilians in southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostages, but Shhhhh…

Liberals gotta Lib. During a campaign stop in Montreal Friday, a reporter asked Liberal Leader Mark Carney, in French, why Loyola was shown the door over his Hamas comments while Carney refused to boot former candidate Paul Chiang over some of his past comments.
“With respect to Mr. Chiang, he’s resigned. That was the correct decision. And Mr. Loyola is no longer a candidate,” Carney said.
Loyola had been in the middle of his third term as an NDP member of Alberta’s provincial legislature when he resigned his seat to recycle (because that’s good for the environment) as a Liberal just last week…so that fits. Was he ever a Green Party member?

A former Alberta lawmaker who was running for the Liberals is “no longer a candidate” after video emerged in which he praised Hamas and Hezbollah.

Pssst. Several West Bank settler groups are listed as terrorists.“Organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas really are trying to stand up for their people and that needs to be recognized. These are movement for national liberation, not terrorists,” he says in the video.

Shhhhh!
The Lib was talk’n’bout them too (?) or was just cheerleading Hamas or Hezbollah?
?????
Israeli occupation and terrorism should be tolerated and accept without any backlash? Why?
Why is it upseting that people disagree with Israeli occupation and terrorism? Is it taboo? Illegal? Immoral?
State sponsored terrorism.

…& there’s a thread here for the Canadian specific shenanigans leaching out from it. While antisemitism has always been present in Canada, this is the first Canadian election in decades where it has been normalized, almost Liberal-erated.
Riot police being called to Montreal’s McGill University after pro-Hamas demonstrators vandalized the university’s McConnell Engineering Building, targeted the dean’s office and blocked students from attending classes last week surprises no one any more, in Canada.
Same goes for a Jewish-owned coffee shop in Toronto, vandalized for the third time in the past year, the latest incident occurring one day after the federal election was called in Canada.
Nor is its surprising that Rod Loyola, a candidate running for the Liberals in Edmonton Gateway and a former NDP member of the Alberta Legislature, praised Hamas and Hezbollah, both designated as terrorist organizations by Canada in 2002, in a 2009 video as reported by the National Post. (Loyola says he has since renounced this view and, after being dumped by the Liberals, plans to run in another riding as an independent.)
According to Statistics Canada, while Jews make up 1% of the Canadian population, 70% of all religiously motivated hate crimes today are aimed at Jews….in Canada, by I’m assuming Canadians or those allowed into Canada for whatever reason or time period.
Toronto Police last year reported a 69% increase in hate crimes against Jews in the wake of Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel of Oct. 7, 2023 – far higher than for any other group in Canada.
nationalpost.com
Attacks on Jews have become so commonplace that they are no longer seen as unexpected, either in Canadian society or on the campaign trail in this election.
Now I can’t honestly say I’ve ever even met anyone personally that made a point of it being know that they’re Jewish, though Im only 55yrs old so it could happen yet, but I’ve met several people over the years that have made it a point to get it across that they were “Vegan” etc…& I can only assume there’s more Jews than Vegans, & I’ve never seen a baby pigeon either to the best of my knowledge, but I understand that they must be a thing that exists….
(I ass/u/me’d incorrectly here)
And spare us the argument from Jew haters that they can’t say anything against Israel without being accused of antisemitism.
The harshest criticism of Israel and how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – currently on trial for corruption – has prosecuted the war in Gaza and dealt with the hostage crisis comes from Jews living in Israel.
Anywho, the irony is that the strongest defenders of Canada’s Jewish community are the Conservatives, despite the fact the Liberals routinely accuse them of conspiring with neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
Indeed, despite the historic affinity of the Jewish community in Canada for the Liberals, in the modern era it has been conservative political leaders – Brian Mulroney, Stephen Harper and Pierre Poilievre – who have consistently and unequivocally denounced antisemitism, without qualifications, including its modern-day disguises as anti-Zionism and calls for the destruction of Israel, the world’s only Jewish state. Weird, eh?
By contrast the Liberals – with only rare exceptions – turn a blind eye to the far more dangerous, accepted and even applauded institutional antisemitism running amok in Canada, that today comes from the left in Canada.

The Canadian Federal Liberals, mindful of the fact there are more than five times as many Muslims (1.8 million) as Jews (335,000) in Canada, have steadily drifted away from supporting Canada’s besieged Jewish community and support for Israel at the United Nations, despite the worst outbreak of antisemitism in Canada since the 1930s.
When Canada’s Liberal Foreign Affairs Minister, Melanie Joly, tells former NDP leader Tom Mulcair that her positions on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza are influenced by the demographics in her riding – and she’s still the Canadian foreign affairs minister – it’s obvious where the Liberal Party of Canada stands on Israel today.
I wonder what the Canadian Liberal Party appointee Amira Elghawaby would have to say about this? Probably nothing during an election cycle, but it still would be interesting.
As for the third national party in Canada, the NDP, it’s been a lost cause when it comes to meaningfully condemning antisemitism for decades – ironic since there was a time when democratic socialists and many Jewish organizations were closely aligned on social issues such as poverty and racism. But that was then and this is now.

Why on earth would Hamas attack a terrorist state that is running a terror campaign in illegally occupied West Bank? That makes absolutely no sense. They should just take it up the ass.There’s a thread here for the Middle Eastern goat rodeo:
