“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

A new wave of Jewish security groups reflect Toronto community concerns—while raising charges of vigilantism

by Doris Wise Montrose on October 26, 2024

Anytime Jews protect and defend themselves, idiots pipe up with accusations of vigilantism.

From licensed security agencies to uniformed volunteers and marked patrol cars, multiple groups are actively offering services designed to keep watch over Jewish areas and activities in Toronto.

But concerns about the nature of their operations have increased over time, especially now that UJA Federation of Greater Toronto spun off the Jewish Security Network (JSN), which operates as an independent agency.

Demand for increased protection has grown during a year of increased attacks and protests that have repeatedly targeted synagogues, businesses and events.

Plus, according to Toronto Police Service (TPS) statistics, suspected or confirmed hate crimes have disproportionately targeted Jewish communities. Since last Oct. 7, about 45 percent of hate-crime occurrences in police reports are antisemitic.
