MP Kevin Vuong Stands Against Antisemitism and Incitement
CAEF acknowledges and thanks MP Kevin Vuong, Spadina-Fort York, for calling out the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada for being silent when there have been "grotesque displays of #antisemitism and incitement?"
Jewish Woman Punched in the Face
Olga Goldberg, a Jewish Canadian, was holding a Canadian flag and a poster of an Israeli hostage after peacefully attending two rallies on October 29th. In a seeming flash, she was surrounded by kaffiyeh wearing pro-Palestinians who punched her in the face, ripped up the poster, grabbed the flag and stomped on it. The message they sent is clear, and it isn’t about peace, ending a war, caring about Arab lives. It was about hating Canadians, hating Canada and hating Jews. In one fell swoop, they expressed their true mission.

ZOA issued this statement: Don’t Believe Gaza Ministry of Health
Where is the Canadian government’s statement?
ZOA praised the fact that during the White House October 26 press conference, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby correctly stated: “we all know that the Gazan Ministry of Health is just a front for Hamas. It’s . . . run by Hamas, a terrorist organization. . . . We can’t take anything coming out of Hamas, including the so-called Ministry of Health, at face value.” As an example, Kirby cited the “Gaza Ministry of Health’s” false claim that an Israeli airstrike killed 500 Gazans at a hospital. “We know that’s not true,” Kirby explained, adding that the casualty numbers were much lower [actually 10-12 killed] and the strike was from a misfired terrorist rocket launched in Gaza. [The hospital was not even hit; the misfired PIJ rocket launch landed in the hospital parking lot.]
The Palestinian Authority continues to foment terror and pay Palestinian Arabs $400 million per year to murder Jews. The PA’s governing party, Fatah, is calling Hamas’ atrocities “a heroic operation,” and bragging, in support of Hamas: “Our fighters are currently recording spectacular epics of heroism and sacrifice.”
President Biden and his administration’s use of the term “extremist settlers” and their implication that these “settlers” are killing ordinary Palestinians, is a huge, dangerous, antisemitic lie and insult to the 500,000 peaceful Jews living in the historic, lawful Jewish lands of Judea/Samaria.

An Activist Uses an Innovative Angle to Show How Disgusting Support for Hamas Truly Is:
The Good Guys, whom we thank profusely
A letter from a Muslim to all other Muslims:
Dear Muslims,
The world is scared of us. The world is laughing at us. The world is worried about us. And there are legitimate reasons for their worry that we cannot keep denying.
It is time for us to flush the word ”Islamophobia” down the toilet and start looking in the mirror and ask ourselves:
How did we get here?
How come the largest and most thriving terrorist organizations in the world are Muslim?
How come terrorists successfully use Islam to mobilize thousands of Muslims?
What is the problem with our leaders, our Imams, and our religion?
Why do we keep repeating these stone-age traditions that have failed us and continue to fail us?
The world has left us behind.
The ”kuffar” that Imams tell us to hate have traveled to the future while we are still stuck in the Middle Ages reading stories about Mohammed and his flying horse.
You are reading this with your phone, tablet, or computer, which was created by the ”kuffar.”
The same ”kuffar” that we hate so much have created medicine that cures diseases. Medicine that our religion’s crystal balls failed to bring about.
The ”kuffar” have moved forward and traveled to space. Meanwhile, we are stuck on Earth in the Middle Ages, going to our poisonous mosques every Friday, reciting the same chapters and the same stories of Mohammed.
Why haven’t all of these books and teachings led to any scientific, technological, or medical advancements?
1,400 years of us, stuck, debating: ”Which is the correct sect?” ”What is the correct interpretation?” ”Who is a real Muslim? And who is a kaffer?” ”How can we convince people to become Muslims?”
Why on Earth would anyone want to become Muslim today?
They are all scared of us.
They are all laughing at us.
They are all worried about us.
Delete Israel and the West from the world, and we would still be as ignorant as we are. We would still be stabbing each other.
Stop blaming them – and look at yourselves instead. The enemy is not out there. The enemy is within.
From Imam Mohamad Tawhidi:
10 Facts About the UAE
Zero terrorists in the entire country.
Zero extremist leaders.
Zero financing of terrorism.
Zero extremist curriculums.
Zero extremist schools or Mosques.
Zero tolerance for hate.
Zero discrimination of people.
Zero institutional racism.
Zero institutional misogyny.
Zero time for any of the above.
