Toronto police say they found a rifle and bullets at the home of a genocidal Jewish supremacist activist who they accuse of uttering death threats. It’s a sign of the violent fascistic tendencies of the city’s Israel supporters.
Eli Schwarz was charged and arrested with uttering death threats and careless storage of a firearm. The 38-year-old resident of Vaughn is alleged to have made threatening statements during a pro-genocide demonstration in Toronto on Sunday. Police say Schwarz threatened “grievous harm” against counter demonstrators during a weekly “rally for Israel” and told an officer he was a member of Kahane Chai (Kach), which Public Safety Canada classifies as a Jewish extremist terrorist entity.
On Monday Toronto Police say they searched Schwarz ‘s home and discovered Kahane Chai branded clothing. They also found a rifle and scope, 10 boxes of ammunition and a body armour vest.
Schwarz is a prominent pro-Israel activist. In the summer he drove an anti-Palestinian and Muslim digital advertising truck organized by a group calling itself Canadians Opposed to the Occupation of our Streets and Campuses. First seen at the large June 9 Walk for Israel, the van read “Is this Lebanon? Is this Yemen? Is this Syria? Is this Iraq?” The vehicle then displayed Muslims praying and protesting in Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square with Palestinian flags. The ad then says, “No. This is Canada. Wake up Canada. You are under siege.” Many politicians denounced the van’s messaging as Islamophobic.
Schwarz was regularly at pro-genocide counter protests at the University of Toronto. “Eli Schwarz was constantly outside of the Palestine student encampment at occupy U of T”, reported Samira Mohyeddin, a former CBC journalist. On one occasion Mohyeddin filmed Schwarz, wearing a Jewish Defence League (JDL) hat, next to Meir Weinstein, who formerly lead the violent and racist Canadian branch of JDL (in 2001 the FBI labeled the US JDL a “right-wing terrorist group” and a sister Kahanist organization in Israel was outlawed).

When we talk about safety on university campuses, let’s be very clear about who is ACTUALLY under threat.

There is a difference between being uncomfortable & being unsafe. Eli Schwarz was constantly outside of the Palestine student encampment @occupyuoft on @UofT property. https://t.co/6MA8XDujns
