Mohamad Fakih
Mohamad Fakih spread hatred of Israel and Zionism during Israel's war against Hamas terrorists, launched after the October 7, 2023 terror attacks where 1,200 Israelis were murdered and hundreds more were kidnapped. For more on the attacks, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
In one instance, Fakih wrote two X posts to a pro-Israel customer who said he would boycott Fakih's business because of the hatred Fakih was spreading online. In one of the X posts, Fakih wrote: "We don’t want your money . Please don’t bring us blood money."
Mohamad Fakih is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
As of December 2024, Mohamad Fakih's LinkedIn profile said he had been the "Executive Chair & President" of Paramount Fine Foods since 2022 and the company's "CEO / PRESIDENT" since 2006. His LinkedIn also said he was the president of Canadian Pathway Inc. and a partner at Armour Shield Roofing.
As of the same date, Fakih's LinkedIn said he was located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
On November 8, 2024, during Israel's war against Hamas that began in October 2023, Fakih posted an anti-Israel video video on X.
In the video, Fakih claimed [00:00:22] that Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and minister of foreign affairs Mélanie Joly would not meet with UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese because "they're afraid of backlash from pro-Israel lobbyists in Canada."
The “Israel Lobby” is a conspiracy theory alleging Israeli and Jewish control over the U.S. government. Proponents of the theory decry the negative effects on American interests, particularly in foreign policy.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped hundreds and wounded thousands. War crimes included mass rape and torture. Many Palestinian civilians participated in and supported the attacks, and Gazans working in the targeted Israeli communities gave intelligence to Hamas on where to strike.

On October 29, 2024, Fakih posted a video on TikTok in which he claimed [00:00:12]: "Israel's action in Gaza right now are [sic] about expanding, about taking more land. The violence isn't random, it's a strategy. They're using the tragedy of October 7th as a license to commit genocide, to displace and push out 2 million Palestinians...It has nothing to do with security."
In the same TikTok video, Fakih further said [00:01:06]: "And here at home, is a time to stand up against pro-Israeli lobbies who defend this genocide. Action by Israeli forces aren't [sic] just wrong, they're worse than any terrorist group...Any pro-Israeli group in Canada that supports these crimes, that intimidates Canadians for speaking out against them needs to be held accountable."
On October 14, 2024, Fakih posted on X: "If Netanyahu is the face of Zionism in 2024, then, yes, it is an evil that should not be included in any of our classrooms or universities, in the same manner that we would not include any extremist ideology. / Unfortunately, modern day Zionism does not represent peaceful coexistence..."
On April 10, 2024, Fakih posted on X: "...World opinion has firmly and irretrievably turned against the cruelty of Israel and its supporters. Those who advocate for this regime and its cruelty have failed...The fight against those who are mute or worse advocates of murder will continue."
On January 13, 2024, Fakih posted on X and later deleted a post to a pro-Israel man who said he would not shop at Paramount Fine Foods. Fakih's tweet said: "We don't need your money ! Please don't ! Our clients are respectful families from all backgrounds . We welcome everyone but not the one that supports baby killers and government that starving innocent civilians ."
Fakih later posted on X: "We don’t want your money . Please don’t bring us blood money." Fakih was responding to a post that said: "I'll never set foot in @ParamountFoods ever again! Terrorist sympathizers don't deserve my business. I'll take my money elsewhere. #BoycottParamountFoods."
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by pro-terror activist Omar Barghouti in 2005 to turn “Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.” Barghouti has also called for Israel's destruction and the BDS movement demands would result in that same goal.
BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel, and organizing anti-Israel rallies, protests and campaigns.
The movement’s most notable achievement has been infiltrating university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments propose resolutions to boycott or divestment from Israel or Israeli-affiliated entities. BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents and pro-terror activism on campus.
