The attempted mass-casualty Muslim bomb attack in New York has heightened concerns of Iranian ‘sleeper cells’ unleashing a wave of terrorism across the West in retaliation for the strikes that have left the Islamic regime reeling. Tellingly, one of the Muslim teenagers arrested for throwing the nail-packed bomb, which by sheer good fortune didn’t detonate, was wearing an Iranian flag insignia.
Iran, after all, has been an inveterate sponsor of global terrorism for the entire lifetime of the Islamic theocracy of the Ayatollahs. While its primary targets have been American, in recent years Iran was behind escalating anti-Semitic violence and terror in Australia, including firebombings of synagogues and other anti-Jewish violence.
Canada is also likely getting a dose of Iranian-sponsored terrorism. Or, the government and media are insisting, just the bog-standard Islamic terrorism. As if that’s any more reassuring.
The US consulate in Toronto was hit by gunfire on Tuesday morning, according to Canadian authorities.
Two men in a white Honda approached the building about 4.30am. They got out of the car, fired multiple shots at the consulate and drove away. No one was injured, police said.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said it was “a reprehensible act of violence and attempt at intimidation”, and that authorities would work to quickly apprehend those responsible.
The gunfire follows a series of similar shootings at synagogues in the Toronto area. Toronto officials said it wasn’t yet clear if Tuesday’s shooting was connected to the synagogue incidents, and they haven’t said whether they believe the synagogue shootings were carried out by the same people. Authorities also said it was too early to determine whether the violence was linked to tension over the conflict in Iran.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is less uncertain. Naturally, the legacy media are determined to deny any link to Iran.
While investigators try to determine who was responsible for a shooting at the US Consulate in Toronto early Tuesday morning – and what their motive was – Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested, without evidence, that terror sleeper cells may have been involved.
When asked at Queen’s Park if police have indicated to him that a rash of recent shootings at Toronto-area synagogues may be connected to the US Consulate shooting, Ford said authorities have not provided any proof of a link.
The best thing you can say about this sort of legacy media guff is that at least it isn’t as bad as CNN’s frankly disgusting reporting on the Muslim bomb terror attack in New York.
Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.
But in less than an hour, their lives would dramatically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home.
You really cannot hate the legacy media enough.
Thankfully, they’re not all so blind. The Toronto Sun is scathing of the Pollyanna denialism.
It’s as if the people charged with keeping us safe – our governments – are paralyzed no matter how many examples of terrorism and attempted terrorism are staring them right in the face since the start of the war in Iran.
On Tuesday morning, it was shots fired at the US consulate in Toronto.
Within hours of the death of Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Feb 28 following the US-Israel attack on Iran, the Saliwan Boxing Club in Richmond Hill, owned by Salar Gholami, a prominent Iranian human rights activist, was sprayed with 17 bullets.
Three synagogues have been hit by gunfire in the Greater Toronto Area since the start of the war – one on March 2 and two overnight on March 6-7.
Fortunately, there have been no deaths so far, but in BC, police are now treating the early February disappearance of Simon Fraser University math professor Masood Masjoody, a fierce critic of the Iranian regime, as a homicide.
And the ‘nothing-to-see-here’ denialism of the left-media infects all the way through the left-wing Canadian government.
And yet, despite all these warning signs and countless others ever since the explosion of antisemitism, threats and violence against Canada’s Jews following the terrorist attack on Israel by Iran-funded Hamas on Oct 7, 2023, our governments still look like deer caught in the headlights.
Amid reports of 600–700 agents of the current Iranian regime living in Canada, the federal government has deported one – count ’em, one – in the past two years.
Politicians at all levels of government mouth platitudes about being opposed to antisemitism because, “it’s not who we are”, while few antisemites are ever charged for committing criminal offences, and those who are, are typically treated with kid gloves by the courts.
They could almost be talking about Australia.
