ISRAELI SOLDIER MANHANDLES TORONTO METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS 15:49 Min. by ON THE LINE MEDIA, Nov 11, 2025
November 10, 1975: “UN votes, 72-35, to term Zionism form of racism.” Resolution #3369.
@crispy_bhai:
@CBCNews continues its anti-palestinian bigotry unabashed. i dont want my tax dollar funding @CBC racism.
CBC’s reporting when to racist shit when Herr Zionist Harper was PM, and now we have racist Zionist Harper2 as PM, CBC’s Zionistiche hate against Palestinians/Muslims will escalate
@DanielaPet17376:
Toronto police were caught (by UofT researchers) using Israeli spyware to spy on activists. They are as corrupt as the ON conservative gov.
Toronto has the most Zios at one place after Israel, & they are pure evil. The UN rep Bob Rae is a Zio & he sends money to IOF/IDF.
@AgentBozone:
The CBC has betrayed the Canadian public.
A public broadcaster is supposed to be free of influence (power, wealth, political), but OUR CBC sold out to genocidal zionists.Thanks largely to Canadian Zionists like Irwin Cotler, Rosalie Abella, Harper1 and now Harper2
We need a conversation about foreign ‘interference’, namely Cdn Jewish zionists who are traitors for Israel.
@izaataryabess:
This Gaza butcher’s name is Jonathan Karten
@smansoor416:
I hope the media and politicians that rushed to judgement correct themselves and issue apologies to the 5 young women when they see this new video that has surfaced. It’s clear who the aggressor is.
Statement on IDF soldiers platformed at Canadian universities by Heather McPherson, Nov 9, 2025
For over two years, Canadians from across the country have been speaking out against the genocide that is taking place in Gaza. The images we have all seen have been horrific and deeply troubling – a testament to the brutality of the actions the Israeli army and Netanyahu’s regime are inflicting on the people of Gaza.And of West Bank, and Syria, and Lebanon, and on and on and on
This week, I was outraged to learn that a tour of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers was organized across Canadian and American universities, including most recently at Toronto Metropolitan University. It is unacceptable for any institution of higher learning to permit active members of a foreign military force – particularly one currently engaged in genocide, forced starvation, and forced displacement of civilians – to use resources from publicly funded post-secondary institutions.
It is utterly unacceptable for Canadian universities to provide a platform to members of a military force that is committing genocide. These institutions have a moral and social responsibility to stand with international law and human rights, not with those who violate them.
A few months ago, I wrote to the Canadian government to express my concerns following media reports suggesting Canadians serving in the IDF may have committed serious crimes. Individuals in Canada – both citizens and non-citizens – are subject to the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act, which gives Canadian authorities the legal ability to investigate and prosecute international crimes including genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Let me be clear: any individuals in Canada who are suspected of committing such crimes, in any context around the world, must be investigated and, if evidence warrants, prosecuted. It is unclear whether the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) has conducted interviews with any of the individual IDF soldiers currently touring Canadian universities. The Government of Canada must immediately address these concerns. This is not only a matter of international law or domestic law; it is also a matter of public safety.Nazi pro genocide racist Zionist douche fucker Carney will do nothing – might upset his orange pal.
After hearing from student activists, I am alarmed by the events that occurred this week, especially as a number of young people were hospitalized after attempting to interrupt the event that was taking place.
The right to protest is protected in Canada.Not for long, Harper2’s Bill 2 serving Nazi USA will be killing that right of ours, and many others
I will be writing to the Presidents of three Canadian universities that platformed these speaking engagements to express my concerns and insist that our public institutions never again legitimize or normalize war crimes. I will also raise my concerns with the Canadian government that IDF soldiers are freely touring Canadian universities while the genocide continues.Canada had the legal obligation to ban them from entering our country == but, I bet Harper Carney will only serve genocidal Israel and Nazi USA, never pro peace Canadians
@MatthewSloly:
I really have a problem with a member of a genocidal foreign military assaulting Canadian citizens on Canadian soil. @TPSOperations need to arrest this thug for assault and investigate him under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act.But they didn’t, of course not, the Zionist Douche Police arrested the pro Palestinian protesters.
@DechampsAlan:
Why is a publicly funded university allowing IDF war criminals speak on their campus?
@cherylbenson:
IOF who have served in Gaza or the West Bank [are] war criminals, and should not be allowed in Canada
@Alim61215:
Foreign soldier shows up and physically attacks civilians, students no less, engaging in peaceful protest.
Foreign soldier painted as victim of “antisemitism.”
Just a perfect encapsulation of the zionist jew psyche.
@KweenInYellow:
ngl it looks like the Zi’nist was the aggressor, as is pretty much always the case. Naturally Zi’nists then lie on his behalf.
@jasontoney_:
Canadian media and politicians rushed to tell you that an attempt to protest a talk by an IDF soldier was an ‘antisemitic attack.’ This video shows it was actually the soldier brutalizing students. Initial video and eyewitness accounts all told a similar story, but were ignored.
@movingthemedia:
A genocidal soldier assaults students while they exercised their right to dissent at a Toronto Metropolitan Uni (@TorontoMet) event this week. @TorontoPolice then followed the pro‑Palestinian students as they headed home & violently arrested them in the subway.
Beyond depraved
Since October 2023, Toronto Police have arrested more than 160 Palestine solidarity protesters since October 2023— most of the charges have resulted in withdrawals or discharges. To date, there’s been only one conviction.
The Toronto Police is over-arresting and brutalizing people who take a stand against genocide. While most of the charges cannot be upheld, the state’s violence is far more insidious–TPS releases to the media enable doxing campaigns that threaten housing and employment…
…actual beatings have sent dozens of people to hospital, harassment and surveillance leave Palestine solidarity activists hyper-vigilant, and long drawn out legal processes cause emotional and mental distress.
TPS and elected officials are trying to look effective by acting against those who stand against genocide, while protecting those enabling it. Despite their attempts – the Palestine solidarity movement continues to resist and demand an end to the genocide.
@SMohyeddin:
The IDF soldier who assaulted @TorontoMet students & smashed the glass & cut his own arm, is a partner at Awz Ventures, where former Canadian PM, Stephen Harper, is a strategic advisor.
NEW Israeli soldier hosted by Students Supporting Israel – a group @TorontoMet reshared a story on his Instagram admitting he was the one who smashed the glass. He cut his own arm & then played victim. Instead of doing any investigating, Canadian media ran with his narrative.As fucking usual
The only extremist was the Israeli soldier, who was throwing female @TorontoMet students around like rag dolls. Why are soldiers complicit in a genocide doing campus tours in Canada?
What kind of fucking world are we living in?A Zionist world
Jonathan Karten by Reverse Canary Mission
Jonathan Karten is a principal at Awz Ventures who channels venture capital into Israeli defense and dual-use technologies that power settler-colonial violence and genocide, served in the IDF’s occupation forces, and assaulted pro-Palestinian students at Toronto Metropolitan Uni.
Who is Jonathan Karten?
Jonathan Karten, principal at Awz Ventures — a firm bankrolling Israeli military tech — and former IDF soldier, deploys physical intimidation against Palestinian advocates while investing in surveillance and AI tools that enable Israel’s apartheid regime and shield its atrocities

BUSINESS/CORPORATE
Details
Jonathan Karten functions as a financier of Israel’s settler-colonial military machine and a hands-on enforcer of Zionist intimidation, leveraging his IDF training and venture capital role to bolster the occupation and silence Palestinian voices in the diaspora.
As principal at Awz Ventures, a Toronto-based firm with over $250 million in assets under management, Karten directs investments into deep-tech innovations in AI, cybersecurity, photonics, and dual-use technologies explicitly designed to advance Israel’s “economic and technological resilience” amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza. Awz Ventures, co-founded by former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has poured hundreds of millions into Israeli startups developing military-grade surveillance, quantum computing for defense, and AI-based physical security systems — tools deployed by the IDF to target, displace, and slaughter Palestinians under the guise of “national security.” These investments, including stakes in companies like Pentera (valued at $1 billion) and others profiting from Gaza’s destruction, directly fuel the infrastructure of apartheid and ethnic cleansing, where conservative estimates of Palestinian deaths exceed 40,000 since October 2023, though the true toll — obscured by Israel’s bombing of hospitals, targeting of journalists, and blockade of aid — reaches hundreds of thousands.
Karten’s own IDF service as a soldier in a special security group honed his role in this apparatus, where he participated in the occupation’s machinery of control over Palestinians. Post-service, he has guest-lectured at Hebrew University on “defense tech innovation,” framing investments in weaponry as entrepreneurial opportunity while ignoring their role in perpetuating the Nakba’s legacy of dispossession.
Karten’s pattern of aggression extends to direct violence against Palestinian advocates. On November 6, 2025, at Toronto Metropolitan University, he headlined a “Combat on College” event hosted by the pro-Zionist group Students Supporting Israel, propagandizing IDF tactics to Canadian students. When pro-Palestinian protesters — exercising their right to confront a former occupier — gathered outside, Karten charged into the lobby, grabbing and shoving multiple students, including women half his size, out of the building in a flurry of assaults captured on video. One protester yelled, “This is assault,” as Karten manhandled them, later dismissing the confrontation as an “attempted lynching” to portray himself as victim and equate Palestinian resistance with terrorism.
Five protesters were arrested following police intervention, while Karten faced no charges, highlighting how Zionist networks weaponize “antisemitism” claims to evade accountability for suppressing dissent.
This incident echoes Karten’s earlier activism at Columbia University, where he filed the first complaint under Trump’s 2019 executive order against a professor for “endorsing” Hamas — falsely equating criticism of Israel’s war crimes with antisemitism — citing the murder of his uncle by militants as personal justification for broader silencing. In 2018, he launched a counter-petition against a faculty boycott of a bookstore for affirming Israel’s “right to exist,” rallying support to normalize the ethnostate’s foundational violence.
Through his investments and assaults, Karten exemplifies the diaspora arm of settler-colonialism: funneling Western capital to arm the occupation while deploying physical and legal intimidation to manufacture consent for genocide. His actions perpetuate a cycle where Palestinian students face brutality for naming the violence he enables, ensuring Israel’s apartheid endures unchallenged. …
@_ska4ka:
Poor Israeli soldiers, they are only capable of murdering children, women, elderly and raping prisoners. They must’ve been scared of that “mob”.
@maherme01:
Hear every word of this legal testimony on the IHRA definition of antisemitism and its use as a weapon to silence legitimate critique of Israel.
Thank you, @JoshuaSealy

“When Israel oppresses Palestinians, criticism of that oppression is not anti-Jewish but pro-human rights and pro-international law.”
