Take Back Our Streets! Rebel News stands for freedom against police, pro-Hamas crowd
After Ezra Levant was arrested while covering a pro-Hamas crowd in Toronto, Rebel News and our supporters asserted our Charter rights on Sunday, Dec. 1 by taking back our streets. This is the story of what happened when we stood up for freedom.
Rebel News CEO Ezra Levant was recently arrested by the Toronto police for “inciting” a breach of the peace. His presence on the public sidewalk was illegal, because pro-Hamas protesters might become violent if he were to stay in the area, the officer in charge said.
It was easy for the Toronto police to arrest Levant. He was just one peaceful person, certainly not likely to become violent unlike the pro-Hamas mob.
But that can't stand — this is Canada.
So, Levant and the Rebel News team resolved to come back to the intersection where the pro-Hamas crowd has showed up to counter a weekly rally for the return of hostages taken following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack.
We asked supporters to come, to help peacefully assert our rights as a group in hopes that police couldn't target just one person. And 100 Rebel news supporters showed up for freedom in the bitter cold.
It was a huge win — we reclaimed the sidewalk, nobody was arrested and, most importantly, police obeyed the law and maintained control. Only time will tell if they keep this up or revert to how they were under pressure from the Hamas crowd in the future.
This is why our lawsuit against the Toronto police for arresting Ezra Levant must continue. They need to be told, by a judge, that they can't simply arrest people because they're afraid a Hamas gang is going to be violent.
We held that precedent when we took back our streets. And we'll keep fighting to hold it up in court.

The Israeli prisons are worse than Guantanamo Bay, filled with stories of rape, torture, starvation, and inhumane confinement.
The original attack by Hamas on Oct 7, was meant to free these prisoners. I do not endorse this but was horrified for these young people at a rave caught in the cross fire, many killed and taken hostage.
Netanyahoo was aware of the attack and was complicit and allowed the attack helping facilitate it by doing nothing so he could take the land and keep his position to avoid corruption charges, and chaos works. He couldn’t care less about the hostages they are pawns . They have flattened Gaza sadly, I doubt much is left of them along with everyone else.
This is nothing new they intensify frustration on the millions of Palestinians that are locked down in their own land to get a desperate retaliation. The IDF will intensify operations to get a rise out of the Palestinians and they do it by committing cyclic genocide every 2, to 3 years. Netanyahu also used the “Hannibal directive” on his own soldiers. Leaving no witnesses to their own crimes.
Children who threw rocks, children dragged from their beds at night— suffer under a so-called justice system that the Palestinians can not vote for, a system that discriminates and dehumanizes.
It pains me to see the persistence of white supremacy and racism, and the blindness to human suffering.
The religious authorities governing this land seem to justify mass extermination, erasing entire family lineages. Over 900 entire family names have been wiped out. Children shot at point-blank range, along with doctors, nurses, and paramedics, executed with their hands tied behind their backs and discarded in mass graves. People were run over by bulldozers.
The methods are dystopian: drones stalk children, and if a child looks at the drone, they are shot in the face. Families burn alive as their tents are bombed. My family name is on the baby list.
I grieve for the atrocities Israel make their young people do. I truly do! When I look into the faces of the IDF I see religiously and military indoctrinated kids marched into war. The 51 state is Israel and Canada bends over and takes what ever the US tells them to do including sacrificing our sons and daughters for their many wars.
Lord Jesus, come soon and liberate the Palestinian captives, free the Jewish hostages and bring peace to the world. Make peace lord between Palestine and Israel. Let mothers of both nations join hearts and hands in peace and weep for each others children to bring humanity and justice back.
Churches and peoples who toot Christian values. Instead of endorsing Israel because their name is Israel send them a true prophet so they can repent. Be careful of a portrayal of Jesus through a political lens. You will have a political spin on Jesus. The leven of the Pharisees we were warned against.
FYI I been supportive of Rebel news during Covid and the Truckers march. I hope to shine some light on this issue. Thank you and God bless you all!
Footnote: Many don’t know but the Palestinians are not the Philistines its propaganda that the Philistines died off in Europe centuries ago. So who are you fighting, and why? -
Jerrold Lundgard commented 2024-12-08 12:57:28 -0500It is time that Ezra Levant is appointed CEO and chairman of the CBC. One of the rules of government is to never pass legislation that you do not want your political opponents to use to pillory you when they gain power. The CBC has a valuable physical infrastructure. Mr Levant can overhaul that infrastructure without the aid of tax Dollar subsidies. You can imagine the anal sphincters of the Liberals and socialists puckering and tightening at the thought of Mr. Levant at the helm of the CBC.

Bruce Atchison commented 2024-12-06 19:12:16 -0500The lunatic left and these Palestinian rabble need to recognize that we ordinary folks far outnumber them. Their tactic of bullying offends us who value and appreciate Canada. Rule of law means each person is treated equally. Now we have these clowns making our cowardly leadership give them preference. That’s NOT what Canada is about.
