Ezra Levant from Rebel News was arrested today for filming a pro-Hamas protest in Canada. He was told he was causing a disturbance by filming and could only film in a ‘free speech zone’ which was too far away to film this hateful protest. He refused to comply and they arrested him.

Levant took to X to explain what happened:

I was arrested two hours ago, handcuffed, searched and jailed for “causing a disturbance”.

I was just released moments ago.

I wasn’t causing a disturbance — I was standing by myself on a public sidewalk, silently filming a grotesque pro-Hamas mannequin in a Jewish neighbourhood — a reenactment of Hamas leader Yayha Sinwar. It would be like someone reenacting Hitler — and police were stopping me from filming it.

I was pushed away from it by one officer. And another officer, named Macduff, said if I didn’t go to a special “free speech zone” they’d set up far away, I’d be arrested. I told him Canada was my free speech zone, I was a citizen and taxpayer, and I would not get off the sidewalk.

Macduff said that was causing a reaction. I said the hysterical reaction of foreign thugs who hate Jews (and most other Canadians) doesn’t give them a veto over my Charter rights.

Macduff said he “was the law”. I told him no, he was a servant of the law. So he arrested me and had me taken to jail. I was just released and I’ll have more to say — including in a lawsuit against Macduff and @TorontoPolice for violating my rights and refusing to protect me.

This is absolutely the definition of a fascist state, where thugs take away your rights on their whim and there’s little you can do it about it. And if you decide to challenge the fascist state in court, it’s going to cost you big time. There is always a huge cost when fascists run a country, whether it be your rights or your pocket book.
