Roy Green Show Podcast, August 11: Israel Ambassador to Canada. War with Iran? – Katja Hoyer, fallout from England race riots. – Joe Warmington, protesters swarming vehicles.

The Roy Green Show

Today’s podcast:

Iran is threatening direct mlitary action against Israel and in the next days with a representative of the Tehran regime saying an aerial attack on Israel by Iran might last 3-4 days, saying "bloodshed would be carried out"(against Israel).

Expectation is Hezbollah may launch a full-scale assault on Israel in coming days. Meanwhile the U.S. has an aircraft carrier taskforce stationed off the coast of Iran, ready to stand by Israel if needed.

What would Israel expect from its long-time ally Canada if conflict breaks out? The Trudeau government has been openly critical of Israel most recently.

Guest: Iddo Moed. Israel's Ambassador to Canada.

The race riots in England have abated after strong action by the new Labour government of Keir Starmer took action against far-right demonstrators/rioters. Some arrested, charged, tried and convicted within 6 days last week. While the violence may have abated, it would be foolhardy to assume the anger against migrants, Britain's refugee and immigration policies has disappeared. So, what now? What next? Are the rioters themselves surprised at the level of participatory support they received?

Also of concern, as reported by Global News today, is the growing anti-tourist sentiment appearing in Europe. Perhaps in Canada as well. Some has to do with short term rentals cutting into possible long-term rental housing.

Joe Warmington in the Toronto Sun wrote: Time to send a message and arrest those who terrorize motorist during protests. Protesters and demonstrators in Toronto last Tuesday were interfering with the flow of traffic with an aerial video showing a protester hitting a car with a protest sign and in other shots it appears demonstrators were going up along the driver's side of vehicles. "Terrifying" writes Warmington. One driver refused to stop for the demonstrators and drove through them knocking several to the ground. The protesters refused medical attention when an ambulance arrived and refused to provide a statement to police. The driver was not immediately charged. Readers responding online supported the driver who refused to stop.
