- 1:07Speaker 1: outside of synagogues Or jewis community centers Or jewish neighborhoods.

- 1:13Speaker 1: quiet coordinated sieges of civic infrastructures twenty twenty, six and
- 1:18Speaker 1: the rules of the game are being. Rewritten it is
- 1:20Speaker 1: this asymmetric. Warfare the Anti israel, protesters, activists bigots if
- 1:25Speaker 1: you want to call, them that have stopped shouting at the,
- 1:27Speaker 1: gates and they're weaponizing the mundane machinery of accrediting organizations
- 1:31Speaker 1: and government. Itself they're betting That canadians aren't paying attention
- 1:35Speaker 1: to these administrative, filings and that's where this regulatory red
- 1:39Speaker 1: wedding is taking. Place the neutrality of our institutions is
- 1:43Speaker 1: being betrayed to settle international scores thousands of miles, away
- 1:47Speaker 1: rooted thousands of years in the. Past we've traded capture
- 1:51Speaker 1: the flag and friendship bracelets or canoeing like you, said
- 1:54Speaker 1: for geoplitical warfare and campfire, stories for coordinated ideological hit
- 1:58Speaker 1: jobs at, us and we're just acting like it's a,
- 2:02Speaker 1: paperwork are?
- 2:02Speaker 2: Okay explain? It explain what's going? On to me Like
- 2:06Speaker 2: i'm a twelve year old, specifically what's?
- 2:08Speaker 1: Happening, Sure so this islftware in its purest, form there's
- 2:12Speaker 1: a coordinated. Group it's just peace. Advocates they're targeting Seventeen
- 2:16Speaker 1: jewish summer camps and they're flooding The Ontario Camp. Association
- 2:20Speaker 1: this is the accrediting organization with demands to revoke accreditation
- 2:25Speaker 1: From jewish summer camps because of their connections To. Israel
- 2:30Speaker 1: they have brought In, israelis they brought in FORMER idf,
- 2:34Speaker 1: Members they have a direct connection To israel because these
- 2:39Speaker 1: Are jewish summer, camps and these organizations take offense to.
- 2:42Speaker 1: That they're trying to get the executive directors of camps
- 2:47Speaker 1: fired for being Pro israeli or one would, say you,
- 2:51Speaker 1: know potentially Just, jewish because ninety percent Of Canadian jews
- 2:55Speaker 1: recognize That jews have a right to live in their ancestral.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Homeland that, is so they're not trying to win debates.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Here they're trying to perform final financial executions on community.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Institutions and the most insidious part is the administrative gas
- 3:09Speaker 1: lighting when these camps are being. Targeted the response from
- 3:12Speaker 1: our backbone Of jellyfish leaders is just to investigate all of.
- 3:16Speaker 1: This but by even entertaining complaints about camps that are
- 3:20Speaker 1: serving hummus or, zatar which are actually some of the
- 3:23Speaker 1: things that they list as, issues these institutions are legitimizing
- 3:27Speaker 1: this lunacy and they're effectively saying That jewish existence is
- 3:30Speaker 1: a policy debate that needs two. Sides and we've already
- 3:33Speaker 1: seen this red wetting Of jewish. Charities in twenty twenty,
- 3:36Speaker 1: FOUR Jnf canada and The Nieman, foundation we're both, revoked
- 3:41Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty Five Heroic canada and The Immonium,
- 3:45Speaker 1: fund we're both. Revoked this is a regulay nightmare where
- 3:48Speaker 1: these organizations have been fundraising for decades in full, compliance
- 3:52Speaker 1: but something Changed gene After october the seventh plans that
- 3:57Speaker 1: started to come. In it's it's.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Insidious is this the old genocide?
- 4:04Speaker 1: Routine, oh you're absolutely, right it is the old genocide.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Routine it's the baby eight eating. Routine what they're doing
- 4:11Speaker 1: is they're trying to Frame zionism as a fringe extremist,
- 4:15Speaker 1: belief but that's not the. Case ninety four percent Of
- 4:19Speaker 1: Canadian jews believe in the right to self. Determination that's
- 4:22Speaker 1: the global standard across THE g seven and THE eu as.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Well these, activists they're applying a bigoted litmus test to
- 4:29Speaker 1: nine out of, ten nine out of every Ten jews
- 4:32Speaker 1: globally for the most. Part and if you don't pass that,
- 4:35Speaker 1: test you don't belong to be in A canadian summer.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Camp and the audit community is. Exhausted, Gene, well we're
- 4:41Speaker 1: exhausted At.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Jews, well correct me If i'm wrong, Here But israel
- 4:46Speaker 2: did not initiate the attack on the seventh Of, october
- 4:50Speaker 2: but they did defend themselves and they have the right
- 4:53Speaker 2: to defend. Themselves so now this, organization interestingly, enough with
- 4:57Speaker 2: peace in its, name is going to destroy summer camp
- 5:01Speaker 2: for little kids who just want to do what they
- 5:04Speaker 2: do with summer.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Camps, yeah and you, know it's like when people start
- 5:08Speaker 1: bringing out the most ridiculous of, arguments you know that
- 5:11Speaker 1: they're going off the rails with, this and it's really.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Absurd they're actually claiming that serving zetar or hummus is cultural. Appropriation,
- 5:19Speaker 1: well they're attempting botanical e rature Of jewish, History. Gene
- 5:23Speaker 1: they ignore That jews have used the chickpea and the
- 5:25Speaker 1: hitsup plant during the era of The Old, testament when
- 5:28Speaker 1: it was daily news back. Then they're trying to regulate
- 5:31Speaker 1: what kids eat and lunch to prove a political point
- 5:34Speaker 1: nine thousand kilometers. Away they're labeling Ancient jewish staples as.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Stolen they're attempting the normalization of the exclusion Of jewish.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Life they're trying to Make jewish identity controversial in the dining,
- 5:45Speaker 1: hall and if they do, that they win the propaganda
- 5:48Speaker 1: war without even having to have a. Debate quite, frankly
- 5:51Speaker 1: it's a level of micromanagement that makes The seinfeld Soup
- 5:54Speaker 1: nazi look as zen as a yoga. Instructor but it
- 5:58Speaker 1: goes even. Further they're even upset Using arabic loanwords like
- 6:02Speaker 1: yela or sababa In israeli. Culture they ignore that there's
- 6:06Speaker 1: two Million arabs who live In israel and have lived
- 6:08Speaker 1: In israel since it's founding in nineteen forty. Eight it's.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Obscene so because A jewish camp is Serving, hamas they
- 6:18Speaker 2: want to destroy a twelve year old's ability to learn
- 6:21Speaker 2: how to.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Canoe well because they view the twelve year old as
- 6:24Speaker 1: complicit gene in the machinery of the, war and they
- 6:29Speaker 1: think that by protesting to strip children's summer camps of legal,
- 6:35Speaker 1: standing that they're going to. Win but quite, frankly they're
- 6:37Speaker 1: crossing the line from activism into administrative. LAWFARE i, mean
- 6:42Speaker 1: These jewish institutions right now are paying a fourteen percent
- 6:45Speaker 1: what's being called an Anti semitism tax because they're having
- 6:48Speaker 1: to pay for increased security costs just to keep themselves
- 6:52Speaker 1: and their members. Safe that is reflecting into insurance, costs
- 6:56Speaker 1: which are going up with their premiums because of a
- 6:58Speaker 1: heightened security ENVIRON i, mean we've always talked about How
- 7:02Speaker 1: jews are the canary and the coal, mine and The
- 7:04Speaker 1: canary is screening right. Now if we allow our administrative
- 7:07Speaker 1: systems to be hijacked as proxies for foreign, conflicts then
- 7:10Speaker 1: our neutral governance is. Dead but let us sink in
- 7:13Speaker 1: this is where it's really really. Insidious Jewish canadians only
- 7:17Speaker 1: comprise one percent of the, population but we're sixty eight
- 7:20Speaker 1: percent of all religiously motivated hate. Crimes think about, that
- 7:24Speaker 1: A Jewish canadian is twenty five times more likely to
- 7:27Speaker 1: experience a hate crime than any other citizen In. Canada
- 7:30Speaker 1: so if the government stands by while this is, happening
- 7:32Speaker 1: it's not just Failing jewish, children it's failing the core
- 7:35Speaker 1: promise Of canada. Itself we cannot solve this targeted siege
- 7:39Speaker 1: by both siding the definition of the. Attack we have
- 7:42Speaker 1: to call this out for what it. Is it's a
- 7:43Speaker 1: coordinated effort to Erase jewish life And jews from The
- 7:46Speaker 1: canadian public, square one audit and one accreditation at a,
- 7:49Speaker 1: time and we all have to stand up against, It
- 7:52Speaker 1: jewish or.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Not, john you always bring the best stories to the.
