Meet Your Baggage Handler. He Hates You.

In this case, as in so very many others, it’s hard to know which is worse: the jihad terrorist who wants to see infidels dead, or the foolish and deluded infidels who ignored his bloody intentions in the name of multiculturalism, and gave him a splendid opportunity to realize those intentions.

At Toronto Pearson International Airport, there is a man who works as a Station Attendant named Sammy Allouba. According to Rebel News, which exposed this travesty in a Monday exposé, Allouba “unloads baggage from inbound and outbound aircraft. As well, he performs general aircraft maintenance.” That’s a position in which a person of ill will could do a great deal of damage if he wished to do so, and Sammy Allouba is nothing if not a person of ill will: he “goes out of his way to convey hatred against Jews, Israelis, Iranians, and anti-Hamas Palestinians. All the while he glorifies the terrorists who tend to massacre such people.”

Up for an air trip to Toronto? Neither am I. Allouba “openly calls for the elimination of almost 10 million Israelis. He’d like to see that carried out by the Iranian regime (even though the mullahs seem to have their hands full at the moment…).” He also “states he’s a proud supporter of designated terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.”

Allouba doesn’t appear to be engaging in a bit of radical chic in order to appear dashing and dangerous to the ladies. On the contrary, he appears to be a knowledgeable and committed Jew-hater: “He even praises Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.” And “it’s not just Israelis and Jews Allouba hates. He has also expressed interest in seeing anti-regime Iranians murdered. Same goes for anti-Hamas Palestinians. Allouba pretty much loathes anyone that chooses civilization over savagery.”

The first question that should spring to everyone’s mind is “When will this man be fired from his airport job?” The second should be “How did he get hired in the first place?” But no one at Toronto Pearson Airport wants to talk about that: “Rebel News reached out to the media relations departments of both Air Canada and the Greater Toronto Airport Authority. We wanted to know how someone so radicalized and potentially dangerous as Allouba is employed by Canada’s largest airline. As well, we wanted to know how Air Canada and the GTAA can guarantee the safety of their passengers by granting Allouba access to luggage and aircraft.” However, “neither Air Canada nor the GTAA could be bothered to answer these important queries.”

It is not surprising that Air Canada and the Greater Toronto Airport Authority would opt to stonewall it. After all, what can they say? They were either inexcusably negligent here or something worse than that, and there is no positive spin they can put on their actions. Nevertheless, it is easy to see why they took those actions.

I decided to check in on the Toronto Pearson Airport website, and wondered how long it would take me to find mention of the word “diversity.” As it turned out, the airport website has an entire page headed “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” and filled with the usual leftist boilerplate: “You belong here. The GTAA is committed to creating and maintaining a diverse, equitable and inclusive airport where everyone can grow and thrive. ‘Our organization has set ambitious and achievable DEI goals, and together, we are taking the steps to turn our DEI strategy into action. We are creating an airport where you belong, and we will continue to put the joy back into travel by making YYZ the chosen place to fly and work.’ — Molara Awosedo, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, GTAA.”

The airport’s “ambitious and achievable DEI goals” are the same as “ambitious and achievable DEI goals” everywhere: make sure there are people hired from all the favored ethnic and racial groups, so as to create “an airport where you belong,” that is, not necessarily an airport where you’re actually safe or receiving service from competent people. Sammy Allouba was hired because he is an Arab. Even better for the DEI bean-counters, he may even be a “Palestinian,” and thus “oppressed” no matter how bloodthirsty he is.

It is certain that no one even attempted to vet Allouba for jihadist sympathies. To have done so would have been “racist” and “Islamophobic.” And if a white Canadian had been hired in his place, the DEI office would have been up in arms.

And so the next time you fly into Toronto, be aware that if you’re a supporter of Israel and an infidel, your baggage handler hates you. One day, Sammy Allouba or someone like him (and there are no doubt many like him at Toronto Pearson and other airports) will decide to act upon that hatred. But until then, celebrate diversity!
