Islamic public prayers: Quebecers say they’ve had enough Last Sunday, several demonstrators gathered in front of the Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal to protest what they perceive as Islamic proselytism taking place through weekly public prayers in the city. On Sunday, July 20, dozens of Quebecers assembled outside the Notre-Dame Basilica — a location previously used by the pro-Hamas group 'Montreal4Palestine' to stage protests and hold Islamic prayers. The demonstration was organized by Mandana Javan , an Iranian-born Quebecer who advocates for secularism and women’s rights in Quebec. “I was born in Iran. I was indoctrinated by this ideology. I know very well the political and colonial meaning of collective public prayers,” Mandana said. “In fact, it is one of the pillars of soft conquest.” Javan explained that after witnessing the violent arrest of independent journalist Natasha Montreal by Montreal police — simply for filming an anti-Israel protest — she and those around her felt compelled to act. This protest is one of the first public demonstrations in Canada directly opposing what many see as the growing Islamisation of Montreal and the country more broadly. Among the speakers was reza azarpoor, another Iranian-born Quebecer and outspoken critic of radical Islam. “I lived under this ideology. I experienced it in my motherland under sharia law. I know how they manipulate, how they begin the oppression, and how they eventually start killing without hesitation,” he told Rebel News, sharing personal memories of life under Islamic oppression in Iran. Many Quebecers in attendance voiced frustration over what they view as a lack of respect — namely, the holding of Islamic prayers directly in front of a Christian place of worship, the Notre-Dame Basilica, and on a Sunday, the Christian day of rest. During the protest, Rebel News brought its billboard truck to highlight the ongoing double standards of the Montreal police in their treatment of independent journalists. Officers have repeatedly blocked journalists from reporting on public prayers and, in some cases, even threatened them with arrest. Natasha Graham is currently facing two criminal charges for merely documenting and filming what many have described as hate marches that have occurred every weekend in Montreal since October 7, 2023. That same Sunday, Montreal police once again demonstrated their bias by preventing the Rebel News truck from parking at the roadside — despite having allowed a pro-Hamas vehicle to do so just two weeks earlier. Officers even threatened me with arrest for obstruction, simply for recording the exchange between our truck driver and a police officer. Only one agitator was spotted at the protest, taking photos of the crowd. This same individual was previously seen during the pro-Hamas encampment at UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal) in May 2023, photographing the Rebel News Quebec team moments before we were assaulted by Antifa thugs.

🚨WATCH: Rebel News crew assaulted and stalked by pro-Hamas Antifa at October 7 rally in Montreal As tensions flared at a Montreal rally marking the October 7 anniversary, masked pro-Hamas demonstrators turned violent, assaulting and stalking the Rebel News crew through the streets. This week marked two years since the horrific October 7, 2023, terror attack carried out by Hamas on Israel, which claimed the lives of over a thousand innocent civilians. In Montreal, the anniversary sparked a series of protests and demonstrations. Throughout the day, the city saw multiple rallies, including duelling protests at Concordia University, where pro-Israel and anti-Israel groups clashed. If you missed our earlier coverage of these demonstrations, be sure to check out our detailed report. But it was later that evening when things took a darker turn. A protest organized by the pro-Hamas group Montreal4Palestine attracted a crowd, and tensions quickly escalated. Known for their controversial Islamic street prayers in Montreal, the organizers wrote on their event publication: “We march not just in memory, but in defiance. To show that Gaza’s voice is alive in every street, every chant, every heartbeat. Resistance Until Liberation.” What stood out in their announcement was what they chose not to say. Nowhere was there a mention of the more than 1,000 innocent lives brutally lost at the hands of Hamas on October 7th. Instead, the focus was on celebrating the very terrorists responsible for these acts of terror. At the beginning of the protest, the situation quickly became tense and dangerous for those documenting it. Thankfully, we brought 5 private bodyguards to keep us safe. Despite this, the Montreal police threatened us with arrest for "obstruction." Natasha Graham, an independent journalist, and Terry Newman from the National Post were also present and were threatened with arrest if they did not comply with their orders. Amid the chaos, a familiar figure from previous incidents, Julien Crete Nadeau, known to Montreal police for his violent behaviour, assaulted me once again. This was not the first time he had targeted me — he had previously assaulted and threatened both me and my colleague Guillaume Roy at Square Victoria. But the night didn’t end there. Just as I was recovering from the assault, a masked individual wearing a keffiyeh threw liquid from a bottle directly in my face. We continued to report, despite the Montreal police blocking us from approaching the protest. Then, when the weather turned and the rain poured heavily, we decided to call it a night. However, we soon realized we were being followed. Three masked individuals, dressed primarily in black, were tracking us down. When I confronted them, asking why they were following us, they mocked us. Still, we continued our way to our car. For over 40 minutes, they persisted in following us. At this point, I decided to call 911. The police response was swift. Within 10 minutes, officers arrived and chased down the individuals, managing to arrest two of them. What stood out most was that these individuals were wearing nitrile gloves, raising questions about their intentions. After the arrests, we made our way to the police station. Now, we await further updates. We’ll keep you informed on what happens next. In the meantime, if you’d like to help us continue reporting safely from the field, please consider supporting us at StandWithAlexa dot com. Our security team’s presence played a crucial role in ensuring our safety, and without them, the situation could have taken a far more dangerous turn. We also want to thank the Montreal police for their quick response when we called for help. While the actions of law enforcement may vary depending on the circumstances and orders received, their swift intervention helped us feel safe in an increasingly tense environment. Rebel News

I was assaulted while working on my daily news vlog in front of the Melbourne City Council, with multiple members of the Victoria Police force present. I had attended the public area in front of the council building as the MCC was debating a motion on a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, aiming to cover a local news story as an independent journalist and a resident of the city of Melbourne. While working, a group of pro-Palestinian individuals openly harassed and intimidated me, as they did not approve of someone I know in the Victorian Jewish community. Victoria Police told me to move to another side of the road, as the Pro Palestine group did not approve of my relationship with this Jewish individual. At that point, I contested the ridiculous move-on order for a journalist in Australia; however, I did move across to the other side of the road as it became apparent that the police were more comfortable blaming me than controlling the unruly mob. As I crossed over to the side of the road the police directed me to, I was followed by a group of Pro Palestinian protesters, after which one of them openly assaulted me in front of the police. I have attempted multiple times throughout today to provide a statement to the Victoria Police; however, I have yet to be contacted, even though they witnessed the assault on the night it occurred and noted it as an unlawful assault in an incident report. I've tried my best to compile the circumstances of my assault and the failure of the Victoria Police to act. On the night of the incident, they were refusing my requests to identify the masked attacker who was present, citing fear of the mob.

This afternoon, as the Jewish community in Hendon prepared for the Sabbath, a young Jewish man was allegedly attacked by a group of teenagers from a local school and struck with a bottle. One member of the public told us that one of the teenagers was heard shouting “You f***ing Jew”. These incidents cannot be described as isolated. The atmosphere on our streets, campuses and even at schools is becoming increasingly dangerous and incendiary. We have warned for months of where this is leading. The next Government must act, and demand decisive action from police, universities, schools, and those who are failing to keep Jewish citizens safe.

Richmond Hill 'Rally for Mothers of Iran' erupts after vehicle attack An event honouring the mothers of Iran ended with a vehicle attack on rally-goers, with the suspect seen waving a flag of the Islamic Republic. On Sunday afternoon, May 10, a special Mother’s Day rally was held in Richmond Hill, Ont., in honour of the mothers of Iran. The rally was aptly titled “Mothers of Revolution.” During the event, politicians, Jewish allies, and prominent Iranian figures spoke. The mood was sombre and mournful, a stark contrast to the usual feeling of hope that generally fills crowds of thousands hoping for the best possible outcome in the conflict affecting their homeland. The mood only worsened with the events that played out at the end of the rally. When the crowd was leaving the rally location at Richmond Hill Library and people were moving towards their cars, chaos erupted. Seeing the crowd moving frantically and hearing screams, I ran towards the commotion. I saw a man next to his car being berated by the crowd while York Regional Police slowly moved in. I began asking witnesses what had happened. According to eyewitness accounts, the man, who had been present on the outskirts of the event for its duration, got into his car as people were beginning to leave and began ramming his vehicle into rally-goers’ cars. Thankfully, he only hit about two vehicles before the crowd began to encircle him to stop him. He then exited his vehicle, pulled out the flag of the Islamic Republic, and began circling his car while waving it. As the crowd moved toward him, York Regional Police finally approached the scene. At that point, the alleged perpetrator fell to the ground in what appeared to be some kind of medical emergency and began shaking and convulsing. This did not last long, however, and when he got back to his feet, he was eventually cuffed, and carried away in a police vehicle, leaving behind his car, the vehicles he had allegedly hit, and a crowd of extremely emotional Iranians questioning how something like this could possibly be happening in Canada. York Regional Police have now released additional details regarding the alleged attack at the Richmond Hill rally. They are asking any witnesses to come forward with any information, including “anyone who has video footage, including dashcam, cell phone, or security recordings from the area around the time of the incident.” According to police, the suspect allegedly struck a food delivery driver who was not even involved in the demonstration before hitting another vehicle while attempting to flee the scene. Police also say that he stopped his vehicle to yell threats at demonstrators before being taken into custody. The question is, how did he have time do that? Why was he not apprehended instantly? The victim was transported to hospital with minor injuries. But that was not the end of the chaos. Afterwards, someone allegedly became uncomfortable with Caryma Sa'd’s videographer, Lee, filming the events and began accusing him of being affiliated with the IRGC. Since the crowd had just witnessed violence from someone who could very likely be affiliated with the regime in Iran (we have at least 700 IRGC agents freely operating in Canada, some outlets say upwards of 1,000, and human rights activists say it is even more), the defensive mood was understandable, though clearly misdirected. He was then asked by several security personnel, and even police, to leave the scene because he was supposedly causing a disturbance. It was an unfortunate but understandable turn of events given the severity of the attack that had just occurred, but people were clearly directing their aggression toward independent media who were only there to cover the event, as I was. Iranians work quickly. The identity of the man who allegedly perpetrated the attack has already been found and posted across social media. Mehran Mohagheghi, who allegedly works in accounting for Grunwald and Co., has reportedly been identified through videos from the event. His Instagram account has since been deactivated. What will the consequences of this attack be? Thankfully, no one was severely hurt, but there has been a clear escalation in attacks targeting the Jewish and Iranian communities. Iranians will not be deterred. If anything, this only makes them more determined to stand against supporters of the regime that has destroyed so many lives. But they are in Canada and should not have to face attacks reminiscent of those back home in what is supposedly a free country. This is a direct result of the lack of police enforcement against open supporters of terrorist regimes in our country. And it will likely only get worse. REPORT by Scarlett Grace:

WATCH: Fed-up Montreal restaurant owner blasts pro-Hamas protesters with garden hose A viral video has been circulating online showing a group of pro-Hamas activists outside this Montreal restaurant called Zante. After multiple attempts to ask Montreal police to intervene and remove the protesters who were blocking the entrance to his restaurant, one of the co-owners decided to deal with them himself using a garden hose. On May 22, three days after the incident involving Zante restaurant and pro-Hamas activists, Rebel News spoke with co-owner Mr. Costa Dimitriou, who explained what happened. Unfortunately, the restaurant received multiple threatening messages and several hundred negative reviews on Google after the incident. On Instagram, we were also able to see calls to boycott the restaurant and to massively leave negative reviews. Mr. Dimitriou therefore had to contact Google with the police report in order to have those comments removed. The restaurant co-owner declined to speak on camera because he wants to move on and hopes the negative attention dies down. Now, let me explain what happened. Last Tuesday, May 19, several anti-Israel protesters held a 24-hour sit-in outside the office of Liberal MP Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, right beside the restaurant. When Mr. Dimitriou arrived around 4:30 p.m., the protesters were already there. According to him, they had around three different loudspeakers and were shouting the usual slogans such as, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and so on. The protesters, who already occupied a large section of the sidewalk, allegedly began moving directly in front of the restaurant terrace, blocking access to the establishment. Mr. Dimitriou reportedly asked them multiple times to clear the entrance and was allegedly told to “f*ck off.” As seen in the footage, protesters also harassed the valet, who is himself Algerian. Costa repeatedly asked police officers if they could contain the protesters so they would stop blocking the entrance and standing directly in front of the terrace where clients were trying to eat. According to Costa, police did not cooperate. The co-owner explained to me that several clients dining on the terrace were disturbed by the situation, and that multiple reservations were cancelled because of the protest. He even had to relocate guests staying at his hotel to rooms at the back of the building because of the noise caused by the protesters. At around 7:30 p.m., after receiving no cooperation from either the police or the protesters, Costa grabbed a garden hose in an attempt to disperse the protesters from the front of his restaurant. That was the moment police intervened — not against the protesters, but against the restaurant owner — warning him that he could not do that and threatening him with charges if he continued. The protesters remained there and were still present when he returned the next day. Costa also explained that he had to physically defend himself after one protester allegedly followed him onto the terrace, forcing him to push the individual back. Based on an image of the protester in question shown to us by the restaurant owner, we recognized the individual as Bara Abuhamed, one of the leaders of Montreal4Palestine previously arrested at Carrefour Laval for unlawful assembly and allegedly assaulting a police officer. He and his father are also known for leading Islamist street prayers in front of Notre-Dame Basilica. As Mr. Dimitriou explained, regardless of the cause being protested, he says he would have reacted the same way. For him, this was about respect and basic decency — something he believes the protesters failed to demonstrate. Online, many people expressed support for the restaurant owner, as a large part of the population appears increasingly fed up with the weekly protests — street blockades, vandalism, disruption of businesses — while police seem unwilling or unable to control the situation

🚨An Anti-ICE Gestapo conspired to impede our right to move freely on public property at an ICE Out protest in Philadelphia. When we arrived at the protest happening at City Hall, two men wearing armbands approached us. One claimed to have “security clearances” to keep me from entering the protest, which was being held on public property. We asked if the police department gave him permission to do this, and he confirmed that he did not have clearance from the Philadelphia Police Department to stop me from entering. We then asked for his name and what organization he was acting on behalf of, but he refused to answer. As we entered the protest the two men became four. After one of the men invaded our personal space, we informed all four of them that what they were doing was unconstitutional and illegal. This seemed to make them uncomfortable. Unfortunately later in the protest, our phone and microphone was stolen by an ANTIFA agitator while we covered the demonstration further. With many violations of the law being documented at these events, our question is this: Should these protests be considered unlawful gatherings?

After one of the men invaded our personal space, we informed all four of them that what they were doing was unconstitutional and illegal. This seemed to make them uncomfortable. Unfortunately later in the protest, our phone and microphone was stolen by an ANTIFA agitator while we covered the demonstration further. With many violations of the law being documented at these events, our question is this: Should these protests be considered unlawful gatherings?

Regina police respond to backlash over weekly call-to-prayer trial Last week, a new mosque in downtown Regina announced that it had tested its outdoor, weatherproof, four-direction call-to-prayer system and that it has a permit from the Regina Police Service to begin a trial period of weekly calls. This was unexpected news for many Regina residents, who have since expressed concerns over the potential regular disruption of peace and the lack of consultation with the community. Regina Police have since issued press releases claiming that the amplification falls within bylaw requirements and discouraging threats targeted at the mosque. On Tuesday’s Rebel Roundup livestream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle XX weighed in on the implementation, which appears to have been handled and approved solely by the police service. “From what I understand, Regina city council was not made aware of this,” said Lise. “The City of Regina administration is now aware of it, and fielding calls from a really concerned public — specifically Regina’s Jewish community.” Lise pointed out that Saskatchewan is often used as a “testing ground” to introduce radical ideas like these. “Activists — maybe including Regina Police Service — know that they’re never going to get more pushback than they do in conservative Saskatchewan,” said Lise. “So they test things on us here. And the more people that know that in Saskatchewan, the better.”

EXCLUSIVE — Video captures disputed statement during January 24 ICE protest Video recorded during a January 24 protest captures a moment that raises questions about how allegations of political violence are documented on scene and later characterized in local news reporting. In raw, unedited video recorded at Elizabeth Caruthers Park, a background voice can be heard saying, “The guy in the blue shirt punched Tommy.” The statement is partially obscured by crowd noise but remains audible in the footage. The voice appears to belong to Jennifer Singh (Jennifer Singh), a reporter for KATU who joined the station last fall and was present at the scene. The statement appears to reference Thomas Allen (Tommyboi4209), a counter-protester whom oceanplot recorded being followed by a dozen or more people for much of the protest as it moved through the park. Read in context, the background statement alleges that Allen was struck by another individual. Video from the same period shows Allen being closely trailed by members of the crowd, as well as a man wearing a blue shirt running aggressively toward him. The footage does not independently confirm that Allen was struck. In subsequent reporting attributed to Singh, the incident was characterized differently. KATU reported that “crews also observed a counter-protester identified as Thomas Allen pepper spraying at least three protesters, who seemingly attempted to keep him away from the rally,” and noted that Allen “was arrested by Portland Police in the past during other anti-ICE protests.” The report did not reference an allegation that Allen was struck and instead presented Allen primarily as the source of violence. Allegations of violence at political protests carry significant weight, particularly in a charged national climate where such claims can shape public perception and justify escalation. When on-scene statements are captured on video but later framed differently in broadcast reporting, questions arise about how real-time observations are translated into definitive public narratives. Accurate and complete characterization of these moments is critical to maintaining public trust and ensuring that claims of political violence are reported with appropriate context and care. oceanplot contacted Jennifer Singh for comment regarding the discrepancy between the statement captured on video and her subsequent reporting. She did not respond by publication time.

Prominent Toronto pro-Hamas organizer charged with terrorism offence Police allege Ahmad Hassan Hajahmad acted in association with Hamas following years of open support for the designated terrorist organization and leading demonstrations in Toronto. A prominent organizer of pro-Hamas demonstrations in Toronto has been charged with a terrorism-related offence after a joint investigation by the Toronto Police Service and the RCMP's Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET). According to Toronto police, 33-year-old Ahmad Hassan Hajahmad, who is also widely known as Ahmad Jarrar, has been charged with one count of participating in or contributing to the activities of a terrorist group under Section 83.18 of the Criminal Code. Police allege that during demonstrations near Bay Street and Front Street West on May 25 and September 7, 2024, Hajahmad used amplification equipment to make public statements advocating detestation and harm against members of the Israeli and Jewish communities. Investigators executed a search warrant at a Toronto residence on March 7, 2025, seizing multiple electronic devices. Following a joint investigation, police allege they gathered evidence indicating Hajahmad acted for the benefit of, and in association with, Hamas, which Canada designated as a terrorist entity in 2002. On July 20, 2026, the Attorney General of Ontario and the Government of Canada consented to proceed with the prosecution. Hajahmad was arrested the following day, appeared before the Ontario Court of Justice, and has since been released on bail. A court-ordered publication ban currently limits what additional information can be disclosed. Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said investigations into offences committed during demonstrations continue long after crowds disperse, adding that complex cases such as this demonstrate the importance of strong counterterrorism partnerships. Police also acknowledged the RCMP's INSET for its role in the investigation. The charge follows years of Hajahmad's public involvement in Toronto's anti-Israel protest movement. He became a familiar figure at demonstrations following the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks, helping organize rallies, speaking at events, participating in the University of Toronto encampment in 2024, donating Palestinian flags, and at times coordinating with police during demonstrations. His public statements have also drawn significant attention. In a widely circulated video from April 2025, Hajahmad stated he was organizing a Toronto "Day of Rage" at the request of Hamas. In other videos, he described his movement as "an extension to the resistance in Palestine.” He has also delivered speeches repeating antisemitic claims about Zionist control of political institutions and urged that children be taught there is "no such country called Israel." The arrest marks what appears to be the first terrorism-related charge laid against one of the most recognizable organizers in Toronto's pro-Hamas protest movement, nearly three years after demonstrations began following October 7. Previous interactions with law enforcement, including mischief charges stemming from a smoke canister incident at Union Station in January 2025, carried far less serious consequences. Given Hajahmad's years of highly visible organizing, repeated public statements, and even claims that he was acting at Hamas' request, many Canadians will reasonably ask why it took so long for a terrorism-related charge to be laid. Why is he also now out on bail? Authorities have long maintained they monitor criminal activity connected to demonstrations, yet it’s taken years for terrorism related charges to be laid.

Police escort pro-Hamas marchers into Tim Hortons while Jewish protesters shut out Several of the pro-Hamas crowd, along with a police escort, marched down the street to a local Tim Hortons. Jewish demonstrators were barred from the building as long as they were inside. Rebel News reporter Scarlett Grace reports from the intersection of Bathurst and Sheppard, where the Jewish community in Toronto continues week after week to face harassment by a crowd that openly supports terrorism — a violation of Canada’s criminal code. The pro-Hamas demonstrators have gathered in larger numbers this week, largely at the behest of activist Firas Al-Najim — an open supporter of the IRGC. Over the weekend, Liberal MP Salma Zahid faced backlash after taking a photo with Firas Al-Najim, who was sporting a shirt featuring the faces of the supreme leaders of the Islamic Republic. Zahid issued an apology after the photo went viral, claiming she had not noticed the shirt and saying she “would never have agreed to such a photo if [she] had.” Najim fired back that she had noticed the shirt, that they had discussed it and Israel’s actions, and that she had nodded in agreement with him, implying that her apology was disingenuous. Najim asked people to come this week in honour of Daniela Bonamico, a local pro-Hamas activist who was detained and deported by Israel after trying to enter Gaza via a flotilla that departed from Italy. Channel 12 in Israel reported that two of the organizers of the flotilla were identified as Hamas operatives, making everyone on board collaborators with a terrorist organization. Several of the pro-Hamas crowd, along with a police escort, marched down the street to a local Tim Hortons. Pro-Israel and Jewish demonstrators were barred from the building as long as they were inside. Present among the pro-Hamas demonstrators present to welcome Bonamico back was Vancouver-based activist Farhood Moayed, known for outrageous antisemitic postings on X under the name “Kritical Kanadian.” All of these people should be subject to criminal charges for supporting designated terrorist organizations. Unfortunately, every week, the police action or inaction at Bathurst and Sheppard gets worse. FULL REPORT by Scarlett Grace:
