Photo by Screengrab from police body cam footage (court exhibit) \/YouTube<\/p>\n<p>Why is Palestine Action allowed to operate in Canada? Why?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an important question.<\/p>\n<p>A British court this week heard about what Palestine Action did on Aug. 6, 2024. On that date, red-suited <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/four-palestine-action-members-convicted-over-2024-raid-of-israeli-arms-firms-uk-site\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">members of Palestine Action broke into Israeli-owned Elbit Systems<\/a> in Bristol, England.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019d broken in using a decommissioned prison van as a battering ram, in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor, Deanna Heer KC, told Woolwich Town Court: \u201cInside the warehouse, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/four-palestine-action-members-convicted-over-2024-raid-of-israeli-arms-firms-uk-site\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">they set about destroying as much property as they could.<\/a> They used crowbars and hammers to damage computers, equipment, drones and other products Elbit had manufactured.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At some point, the police and security arrived. Sgt. Kate Evans was one of them.<\/p>\n<p>A big Palestine Action member, 23-year-old Samuel Corner, targeted Evans while she was on all fours on the ground, trying to arrest someone. She had her back turned to him. Corner started attacking Evans with his sledgehammer and brought it down on her twice, crushing her spine.<\/p>\n<p>Evans survived, but remains unable to do her job like she once did. She is in continual pain. Much later, at the trial of Samuel Corner and the others, the Palestine Action members stepped away from their lawyers and addressed the jury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can say with absolute certainty that this is the best thing I have ever done,\u201d one of them said.<\/p>\n<p>They were proud.<\/p>\n<p>They were all swiftly convicted of causing criminal damage. Corner, for his part, was found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm on Sgt. Evans.<\/p>\n<p>In the U.K., Palestine Action have been understandably designated as a terror group. The group is now active in Canada \u2013 and they\u2019re making news here, too.<\/p>\n<p>For reasons that have not been explained by anyone in authority, Palestine Action are not considered a terror group by our government. The Carney Liberals have shown no inclination to designate them as one, either.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bnaibrith.ca\/palestine-action-must-be-designated-as-terrorist-entity-after-calls-for-extremism-in-canada\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">B\u2019nai Brith Canada, the Century-old human rights group<\/a>, has concerns about that. So does the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA).<\/p>\n<p>In an interview this week, B\u2019nai Brith\u2019s Director of Research and Advocacy, Rich Robertson, alleged:<\/p>\n<p>Palestine Action Canada is engaging in many of the same anarchist tactics that the group in the United Kingdom was using. They\u2019re sharing a manual on how to commit anarchistic sabotage and destruction of property. And they\u2019re identifying targets around the world where they are encouraging individuals to commit these acts, including against institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cHere in Canada, this clearly meets the definition for terrorist activity, and B\u2019nai B\u2019rith is calling on the Canadian government to list Palestine Action Canada as a terrorist entity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true: I describe Palestine Action\u2019s manual in my new book, The Hidden Hand.<\/p>\n<p>In their underground manual, provided to me by a source, members are told to form clandestine \u201ccells\u201d to carry out crimes and acts of violence. The manual encourages \u201csmashing windows and exterior equipment,\u201d and to \u201ccause disruption to the target,\u201d which are almost all owned by Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Leave behind \u201cPAINT AND DESTRUCTION,\u201d the manual says \u2013 the authenticity of which was confirmed to me by a member of the British group.<\/p>\n<p>I have reached out to Palestine Action for comment, but have so far not received a response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough our proactive monitoring of groups of concern, we identified Palestine Action Canada \u2013 despite their assertions that they operate underground, Richardson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPalestine Action Canada are quite open in their promotion of anarchistic activity,\u201c he alleged. \u201cAnd they are openly endangering Canadians and Canada\u2019s national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just recently, he claimed, Canada\u2019s Palestine Action faction has put together a map of \u201ctargets\u201d in Canada and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir manual reads like a terror manifesto. It is encouraging individuals to form cells. It is encouraging those cells to conduct reconnaissance, identify targets, and engage in criminal activity against those targets\u2026 This is not graffiti, this is not vandalism. This is not a protest. This is organized domestic terror.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, for those who have chanted \u201cglobalize the Intifada\u201d? Well, this is what that means. You got what you asked for.<\/p>\n<p>Ask Sgt. Kate Evans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A member of Palestine Action gets Tasered by a cop after attacking an officer with a sledgehammer during&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,17809,15176,17808,403],"class_list":["post-40983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-canada","tag-elbit-systems","tag-palestine-action","tag-terror-group","tag-united-kingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
