https://www.bnaibrith.ca/end-al-quds-day/ I signed this online petition and urge you to. This Al Quds Day rally in Toronto was inspired by the late Ayatollah Khomeini urging the creation of that day. A hero of Iran that country killed CDN citizens on a passenger airliner and Canada has not had diplomatic relations with Iran a terrorist exporting nation for years and it tortures its citizens and executes women for showing the hair on their heads in public. Deport Nazih Khatatba, Khaled Barakat, Charlotte Kates already. Account for the tax money the latter 2 have spent.

May 2023

Dear Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie,

We are writing to you to demand the City of Toronto bring an end to the annual hatefest rally known as Al Quds Day.

At this year’s Toronto rally on April 14, 2023, we witnessed with horror antisemitic signs, the open display of the flag of a designated terrorist group, chants containing genocidal connotations, speakers announcing their solidarity with convicted terrorists, the presence of those who have engaged in Holocaust distortion, and individuals associated with listed terrorist entities, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Promoting and eliciting solidarity and support for terrorists and terrorist groups that regularly attack and kills Jews, during a time of rising antisemitism, is morally repugnant and goes against Toronto’s Human Rights and Anti-Harassment/Discrimination Policy (HRAP). The annual occurrence of this event, that flagrantly runs afoul of HRAP without repercussion from civic authorities, is unacceptable. When it adopted EX 5.3 Hate Sponsored Rallies, in 2019, Toronto City Council took a stand to ensure that vile hate would never be tolerated on the streets of our country’s most prominent city. This was never acted upon by the City with respect to Al Quds Day.

Notable speakers and participants at this gathering included Nazih Khatatba, publisher of the Holocaust-distorting Al-Meshwar publication, Khaled Barakat, who has publicly admitted his connection to the PFLP, and Charlotte Kates, the international coordinator of Samidoun, an organization accused by many of being a front for the PFLP.

Al Quds Day rallies have become synonymous wherever they are held with instigating violence, creating chaos, and fostering hate.

The city of Berlin, Germany, recently took action and banned this Iranian-regime-affiliated gathering, describing it as “one of the most disgusting antisemitic events.” The event became an annual global tradition at the behest of Iran’s former ruler the Ayatollah Khomeini.

We ask Toronto to follow Berlin’s lead and finally ban this annual hatefest to ensure that the citizens of Toronto do not need to suffer through another Al Quds Day affair.

These rallies create a climate that threatens the safety of Toronto Residents. They are a serious threat to public safety that can no longer be ignored.

Torontonians deserve to live in a city without exposure to events that demonize and radicalize. The Al Quds Day rally has no place in a city that values diversity and multiculturalism.

We the undersigned demand the immediate banning of Al Quds Day hate rally in the City of Toronto.
