The organization that he heads, the Jewish Defence League (JDL), was present at the event April 1 at Nathan Phillips Square, in front of Toronto City Hall, jointly providing ?security? with SOO, when SOO clashed briefly with the self-styled anti-racist protesters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Weinstein believes the Soldiers of Odin have gotten a bad rap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Both groups had been asked to provide security for Sandra Solomon, a Muslim apostate who has been<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">?<\/span>a vocal critic of Motion M-103, the private member?s motion that called on parliamentarians to condemn Islamophobia and other forms of racism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cjnews.com\/news\/canada\/canadian-jdl-member-charged-d-c-beating-palestinian-american\"><strong><em>READ: JDL CANADA MEMBER CHARGED IN D.C. BEATING OF PALESTINIAN-AMERICAN<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Anti-fascist (antifa) agitators ? who are supporters of the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel ? provoked the altercation, Weinstein said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Weinstein acknowledged that he had been concerned about potentially associating with what has been described as a racist organization, so he met with members of Soldiers of Odin Canada and asked them ?pointed questions about the allegations.?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Weinstein was told that the group, which includes armed forces veterans, was avowedly anti-racist. In fact, one member of the organization was married to a Jewish woman, another to a black woman, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">?They disowned racism and they?re against radical Islam. If we found out it was all BS and they were racist, we?d have nothing to do with them,? he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Soldiers of Odin Canada have been in the news lately, as a result of clashes with members of an anarchist antifa group in Toronto and at an event in Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">News reports have indicated that the Canadian chapter of SOO has splintered with the original organization, based in Finland, which is anti-immigrant and a proponent of white supremacy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>CBC News<\/em> reported last week that Bill Daniels, head of Soldiers of Odin Canada, called the group?s parent organization a ?racist, unorganized, reckless wannabe thug collaboration.?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cjnews.com\/news\/canada\/peel-teacher-suspended-for-anti-israel-speech-at-al-quds-rally\"><strong><em>READ: PEEL TEACHER SUSPENDED FOR ANTI-ISRAEL SPEECH AT AL-QUDS RALLY<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The group?s focus on Muslim immigration is apparent on its Facebook page. In a lengthy video, a SOO spokesman pays homage to Solomon, a Saudi-born apostate from Islam who is attempting to warn Canadians about the Muslim agenda. He goes on to say that the United Kingdom has seen a huge increase in its Muslim population over the past 11 years, and that the newcomers are advancing civilizational jihad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">?They?re following the code of the Muslim Brotherhood to a tee,? he said. ?They?re infiltrating through refugees. Not all refugees are bad. Please don?t get me wrong. A lot of them need help. But all it takes is one. Look at London.? The latter was likely a reference to the knife and car attack outside the British Parliament that killed<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">? <\/span>five and injured 50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Bernie Farber, a longtime observer of extremist organizations, doesn?t believe SOO Canada is anything but ?an old neo-Nazi motorcycle<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">?<\/span>club,? whose views are derived from a racist ideology and whose animus is aimed at the Muslim community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">He called the JDL?s association with it ?a <i>shanda<\/i> (disgrace). I can?t even conceive of it. It takes my breath away.?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Farber, the executive director of the Mosaic Institute and former CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said the JDL and SOO are brought together by a<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">? <\/span>shared ?Islamophobic? viewpoint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Weinstein said he had met with members of SOO on May 3 to plan security for another demonstration featuring Solomon, which was scheduled to take place at Nathan Phillips Square this past weekend, to protest M-103. Weinstein said he expects antifa protesters to attempt to disrupt the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Ties between the two groups are ?ad hoc,? Weinstein continued, though he expects they might collaborate again in the summer, to protest the annual Al-Quds Day rally at Queen?s Park. That event was conceived by the government of Iran to oppose Israel?s existence and its control over Jerusalem, and has featured a number of speakers repeating anti-Semitic stereotypes and espousing violence against Israelis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cjnews.com\/news\/canada\/jdl-partners-soldiers-odin-ad-hoc\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORONTO: Jewish supremacist brownshirts form alliance with ?neo-Nazi motorcycle club? over shared hatred of Muslims https:\/\/t.co\/hDCT6gwRkN pic.twitter.com\/aUo60GDKDn ?
