Controversial Anti-Islamic Group Plans Rally In Toronto
http://www.nationalpost.com/news/world/Controversial+anti-Islamist+group...
"A British right-wing group responsible for a wave of violent anti-Islamist street protests in the United Kingdom will attempt to spread its message to Canadians at a rally in Toronto next week. A 'support rally' for the controversial English Defence League is scheduled to take place at the Toronto Zionist Centre on Tuesday night. The event is being organized by the Jewish Defence League of Canada."

Please advise and post any Protest info here
If this were a gathering to consummate an obscene pairing of Klan members and neo-Nazis, the corporate media and the mainstream left would be all over it. Expect scant exposure of this from either entity. Bags of accelerant soaked dung, a good crosswind, and some matches come to mind as one possible remedy to the lack of expected coverage for the occasion.

how charming and appropriate that the JDL zionoids have discovered their true soul brothers in EDL nazi scum like this..
Rumor has it that Stephen Harper may also be a speaker
Got it
Thanks OG
I don't think Israel approves - at least not officially. In England the Embassy has officially condemned the JDL-EDL alliance.
Isn't the JDL considered a te**orist org in Israel & USA?
Not officially, I don't think. The FBI has described the U.S. JDL as "terrorist" and of course there have been convictions of individuals for terrorist acts, but I don't think it's a "banned" organization in the sense of (say) Hezbollah in Canada. Likewise, Israel banned two parties, Kach and Kahane Chai, in 1994, both founded by or connected with Meir Kahane (founder of the JDL in the U.S.), but I don't think the JDL as such was active in Israel.
Perhaps Bernie should ask Bibi to have a word with Meir...

Jewish and English Defense Leagues Join Forces in Toronto Rally
http://onepeoplesproject.com
"We have covered the EDL previously here on Liberty's Lamp. They are a white power group out of England who are very much like the old National Front, only instead of hating Jews they have a new schtick of embracing Jews for the purpose of ganging up on Muslims.
The JDL is the Jewish Defence League. It's a much older extremist group that goes back a few decades. Here in the US the JDL has tumbled to a pathetic number - primarily consisting of retired and aging doughy tea-bagger types. They don't make much of an impression - aside from an occasional old porky wearing one of their t-shirts at a hate rally.
In Canada, the JDL seems to have a few more members and are slightly more visible in their actions.."

ps stil no information of any planned protest of these muslim hating jdl zios and the neo-nazi edl. Please post if you hear of anything organized to counter the Jan 11 Zionist Center event.

These are the sorts of people Meir Weinstein JDL wacko has allied himself with on behalf of the zionist cause in Canada. But their murderous Islamaphobia is apparently just what the doctor ordered, in Weinstein's view.

Uncovered: The Unholy Zionist-EDL Marriage:
http://www.rebelnews.org/opinion/hate/383589-uncovered-the-unholy-zionis...
"It is surely not hard to see why a fascist organisation recruiting Jewish Zionists seems like such a strange association at first. In their minds however, the Zionists have convinced themselves that they are manipulating the EDL, which may well be the case. As Roberta Moore said in an interview with Haaretz recently;
'They think the league is exploiting us, while it is really we who initiated the Jewish division. If anything, we are exploiting them.'
Funny enough, this is a claim that some BNP members also share. According to one report, 'BNP leader Nick Griffin ahs claimed that the English Defence League is being manipulated and directed by Zionists to create a race war on the streets of Britain.'
OK, so regardless of who is manipulating whom, we now have Jewish Zionist members of the EDL, and EDL members taking up Israeli flags as a standard part of their protest apparel, but who else do they associate with? A photo taken on 14th August this year shows Jonathan Hoffman, the Vice Chair of the Zionist Federation, waving an Israeli flag at a counter protest outside Ahava in Covent Gardens, standing side by side with Roberta Moore...
The fact that people such as Moore allegedly had or have associations with the extremist terrorist groups such as Kach and are joining forces with the EDL should be a cause of concern not only to British society as a whole but to Jewish people in particular who are at risk of such extreme elements claiming to speak for them.."
Anti-Racist Action (ARA) has a call-out for a counter-demonstration against the JDL-EDL zionazi support rally. (See Rabble Front-Page)

There's also a vigil:
Join a peaceful Candlelight Vigil:
Stand against colonialism, racism, Islamophobia and all forms of violence across Turtle Island
WHAT Candlelight Vigil
WHERE in front of 700 Lawrence Square Shopping Centre
(one block west of Lawrence West subway stn.)
WHEN Tuesday, January 11, 7:00 - 9:00 P.M.
WHY Claim public space honouring struggles and dignity of marginalized peoples and stand in solidarity with those who continue to fight against various forms of racism and white supremacy on Turtle Island and everywhere else.
Christian Peacemaker Teams, other faith based and secular human rights organizations will hold a candle light vigil honouring struggles of marginalized peoples and our common humanity across religious, racial and
ethnic identities. The vigil is scheduled as an alternate voice to a nearby rally supporting the English Defence League (EDL), a British right-wing group responsible for a wave of violent anti-Islamic/anti-Muslim street protests in the United Kingdom since 2009.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Defence_League.
http://anti-racistcanada.blogspot.com/2011/01/jdl-hearts-edl.html
The EDL support rally, believed to be the first in Canada, is being organized by the Jewish Defence League (JDL) of Canada at the Toronto Zionist Centre, 788 Marlee Ave.
Come and give your public support to those targeted by such violent activities. Organizers particularly encourage women to attend, and expect that anyone joining the peaceful candlelight vigil enter into the space from a place of grounded calm. At no time will we resort to any form of violence even if provoked. Others standing in solidarity might be in more vulnerable
positions and could be adversely affected by expressions of anger.
For more information on the vigil, contact the undersigned, or Shaista Patel, First Nations Solidarity Working Group (FNSWG) [email protected]
Just heard that this thing may blow up. Apparently Canada's largest Hindu group will be joining the JDL, and they say they will send speakers and a special security team to join the JDL thugs.
Interesting, their spokesperson is a Naresg Patel, same surname as the First Nations guy. Patel versus Patel?
http://www.canhindu.com
Don't be silly, that's just Ron Banerjee, his group is a one man operation even though he claims to be "Canada's largest Hindu advocacy (sic)". No one takes him seriously.
In the new EDL-JDL bag of mixed-nuts and useful idiots, a few brown ones are thought to mitigate the embarrassing antics of the nazi-boys and yob elements. Is this Patel one of the Gujarati muslim-hating psychos Harper so loves doing business with by chance? As for hearing 'this thing may blow up' well when you're dealing with fascist scum like this anything can happen.

"There's an East-Indian fellow that the JDL drag around with them - Ron Banerjee of the ungramatically named 'Canadian Hindu Advocacy.' He's a supporter of the far right wing BJP party and the extremist government of Gujurat - which has been implicated in fostering anti-Muslim pogroms and is led by a guy nicknamed 'Hitler'...
And the Canadian chapter of the Jewish Defense League still wants to consult with the EDL on the 'Jihadi menace'. Go Meir Weinstein!"

JDL Blog: A Letter to Stewart Bell (National Post) in Response by JR in Ottawa
http://jdlcanada.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/a-letter-to-stewart-bell-natio...
"...the real enemies of democracy are academics in universities who wilfully corrupt and brainwash students (sometimes using intimidation tactics) to serve their Marxist/Islamist agenda..
"...What would you do if the authorities did little or absolutely nothing to stop the attacks because of political correctness or the Government's alliance with Islamists? For political reasons the OPP didn't protect victims of Native unrest in Ontario, and are unlikely to protect victims of Islamic Fascism.."
and lots more vile spew proudly displayed by the JDL.

Jews Against EDL Lauch Unity Voice
http://www.chasingevil.org/2010/11/jews-against-edl-launch-unity-voice.html
"The first joint initiative to combat Jewish support for the English Defence League within the community has been launched. The 'Not in our name - Jews Against the EDL' campaign is backed by more than a dozen organizations..
'Now our community faces a new threat. The EDL claims to be our allies in the fight against extremism. In reality, they are violent racists with BNP members and Nazi sympathisers among their ranks. It is time for the Jewish community to come together to expose the EDL as the racist thugs they are..'"
Looks like it did blow up, as feared. There were arrests and injuries, the JDL and Hindu thugs teamed up with the police to attack the ARA..
Were you an eyewittness? There's no mention of anyone but the police and ARA in the following media descriptions of the the confrontation
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/officer-injured-pro...
http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/01/11/anti-islam-group-draws-fierce-pr...
Let's not give the JDL any undeserved street credibillity.
I was there, and towards the end their security was wading in and throwing punches to the head of one of the protestors as he was cuffed by the cops. The cops did nothing. Of course the media didn't say anything about that ....^%$^$
The Canadian Hindu Advocacy has just posted on their site www.canhindu.com .
Wow, punching someone in handcuffs is hardly going to help the JDL's wanna-be tough guy image. Cowards.
It was so dark I couldnt get any video of it, or else it couldve gone viral.
I just watched your links and have know idea of the violence that you speak of.
Perhaps tommorow there will be evidence of this so called violence
i am acquainted with Ron Banerjee, in fact, we've been exchanging emails for the last 15 minutes or so about this event.
he said he was a guest speaker inside, and he claims that his Hindu Advocacy (sic) and JDL security 'assisted' police in 'arresting thugs'. he also insists that the 'security acted lawfully' and says that they 'seized' a large amount of 'paraphanalia' dropped by 'cowards as they ran away'.
although we're not friends, but i have tried to help Ron in the past. i always confront him when racism, bigotry and homophobia spews from his mouth, but it seems that my efforts fall on deaf ears as he just can't or won't stop. i've come to the conclusion there really seems to be something wrong with his thinking.
Of the four people arrested, three were released without charges. The fourth appears in court in the morning and has been charged with assault police. It appears the cop was injured by a flagpole when police charged the rally.
Groups Protest Unholy Alliance Between Jewish Defence League and English Neo-Fascists
http://toronto.mediacoop.ca/story/groups-protest-unholy-alliance-between...
"Andy Lehrer from Independent Jewish Voices said: 'The JDL are an extremist group with a violent history, yet they have been allowed to organize within the Canadian Jewish community with impunity. It is not enough for self-appointed leaders of the Jewish community like Bernie Farber to say they are 'disappointed' by the JDL. It is time for the CJC, Bnai Brith and other community institutions to join IJV in saying unequivocally that the Jewish Defense League has no place in the Jewish community."
JDL OUT!

Jewish-British anti-Muslim event in Toronto draws protests, arrests
Really, Bernie? Well, for your information, the JDL does indeed use 'racist language'. and last night, along with the Hindu Advocacy (sic) - which has also been known to use racist language, they engaged in violence. This is nothing new. But you already know all that, don't you?
JDL and Canadian Hindu Advocacy in their releases seem to be gloating over the whole thing.
It is no accident that the JDL who used to chase these neo-nazis, now forms alliances with them. This strategy is a last desperate attempt by Zionist forces to reverse the growing awareness and activism against Israeli depredations in the ME, by attempting to incite racial paranoia and violence against Muslims here. Bernie Farber and the CJC can now play good zio cop to Meir Weinstein's bad zio cop JDL. Do not forget that it was Weinstein's intercession with Jason Kenney that apparently resulted in the banning of George Galloway last year. Galloway is also a staunch enemy of the EDL-zionazi alliance in the UK. JDL will be permitted to continue Meir Kahane's awful evil hate-work because it serves the interests of elite agendas much higher and more astute than these knuckle-dragging useful idiots of zionism.
gloating indeed @kinky friedman - Banerjee is claiming that protesters yelled anti-semetic slurs - i won't repeat them here, but i did tell hom that i did not believe him. another of his claims is that that Hindu 'security' and JDL 'security' "lawfully assisted law enforcement in making arrests" and were only acting in self-defense. i told him that was ridiculous and that his goons were thugs. he called the ARA "Utter subhuman monsters. Vermin to the core. Repulsive and despicable creatures." this is the same sort of hateful language he has frequently used publicly to describe muslims.
Meir Weinstein has even been allowed to speak and present at a Toronto Public High School... which one ????
http://jdlcanada.wordpress.com/2010/01/07/jdl-director-meir-weinsteins-p...
Anyone know if this event was in the Marlee and Lawrence area? I live close by and was pulling into the gas station on that corner to fill up and saw a large group waving black and red flags. Looked pretty peaceful for the brief time I was there.
To be fair some of the ARA guys were screaming some pretty vile things .. BUT Banerjee has no leg to stand on. Here in this video, he is presenting at a JDL rally for Geert Wilders, and he calls Muhammad a child-molester and says that Muslims in their entire history have contributed less than a 'pack of donkeys':
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8PrFA5vFtQ
well, the ARA does scream about Nazi thugs, but i doubt they screamed anti-jewish stuff relating to not having enough ovens which is his claim. Banerjee himself, in front of me, use the term "sand n-word". when i object to his saying stuff like this, he says i am 'too touchy'.
on January 6th, JDL's Weinstein was interviewed on 640 AM, here's the recording:
http://www.jdl-canada.com/am640edlmeir.mp3
Quite the pair, Banerjee and Weinstein. Pair of bigots, that is.
Nothing "vile" or even remotely antisemitic was uttered and given the number of JDL video cameras and the presence of a National Post reporter you can be sure if any such thing was said it would be on YouTube and the right wing hate blogs by now.
The chants were "JDL go to Hell" "EDL go to hell" references to the EDL being nazis etc. The most "controversial" yell was one antifa shouting to the JDL "we like what you did to Zundel's house" referencing the JDL's alleged involvement in the firebombing of the Zundelbunker in the 90s.
As for Banerjee, he is an odd guy. For instance, a few years ago he was thought to be posting on babble pretending to be an anti-Banerjee guy in order to give himself more attention.
"Writing earlier about media complicity with authorities, Mahbob quoted British author Adam Curtis saying 'international terrorism is a fantasy that has been exaggerated and distorted by polticians for political advantage. It's a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the security and the international media...
To advance American, UK, Canada and Israeli imperialism, their ruling elites invested heavily to institutionalize animosity towards Muslims and the Arabs. The new 21st century colonial masters view humanity in numbers and digits, not as living moral beings with rights and dignity...
Extremist neo-cons use racism and religious fanaticism to fuel hatred towards Muslims and Islam, and engulf the world with the horror of military conquests (and occupations) to further the dictum of global dominance. In America, Britain, Canada, Israel and other Western states, Muslims are treated like sub-humans, vilified as dangerous villains unfit to co-exist with superior Judeo-Christians, a subtle and overt government/media spread message.
As a result, nominal democracies act tyrannically, serving privileged elites, not popular interests, and needing enemies to justify expansionist policies, including imperial wars and state-sponsored terrorism to further this..'
