The NGO, the so-called Canadian Defenders 4 Human Rights, has been stirring up antisemitism in Canada for some time.
Mayor @carolynhparrish, the organizers of the vigil, Firas Al Najim and so-called “Canadian Defenders for Human Rights,” have now confirmed it is authentic and is moving forward.

Also last year:
🔴Firas Al Najim, who has a history of harassing the Jewish & Iranian communities in #Toronto, joined the rally in #Ottawa yesterday.
LISTEN to what he had to say: “I think the only way forward is obviously the resistance…And that is #Hamas. Hamas is not a terrorist… pic.twitter.com/7muVCIrtRt

And in 2019, the group was lobbying against Jewish rabbis, calling rabbis who support Israel a “danger” to Canada. Firas Al Najim is the founder and head of the organization, which has taken bold pro-Islamic republic stances publicly, such as lobbying the Canadian government during a committee hearing to remove the terrorist designation from the Iran-backed Hizballah group in Lebanon.
Al Najim also stated that the “deviant Jews” are treacherous, know how to bribe and steal, and “killed thousands of prophets.” He cried out: “Oh Khamenei, we respond to your call.”
Now Al Najim is glorifying the supreme leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and chanting death to America.

Islamic supremacists always escalate by degrees.
The worst part is that Al Najim is operating freely inside Canada.
Canada has come out vehemently against “Islamophobia,” even punishing and labeling anyone who criticizes Islam. But antisemitism remains tolerated in a nation that is now internationally infamous for its antisemitism.

Last month, his organization called on the Canadian military to “send troops and arms to the Palestinian resistance in Occupied Palestine, Gaza” and pleaded with Prime Minister Mark Carney to “call on David McGuinty, defence minister, to assist the liberation process.”
Al-Najim spoke earlier this month with Press TV, an Iranian state broadcaster, where he shared his views on the Iran-Israel confrontation, warning that any U.S. military action against Iran would be a “foolish move.”
Canada is already grappling with concerns about potential Iranian sleeper cells and regime officials hiding in Canada who could potentially target Iranian dissidents, according to former Justice Minister Irwin Cotler.
With growing anti-Israel sentiment in Canada, the Islamic Republic regime has seen increased support on Canadian streets.…

Allah expects every believer to be a Muslim terrorist for Islam as taught in Islam’s Quran. Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie.

They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”.
