Vancouver-based Hamas activist Mohammad Kallas, who is a senior talent acquisition partner at CIBC, has been filming himself illegally adjusting product tags at Costco.
Footage of Kallas at a Costco in Richmond, BC, shows the senior CIBC executive calmly identifying product tags from Israel, pulling them out of the plastic covering, “wiping out” the word “Israel” and replacing it with Palestine.”
“We all know this is not a product of Israel, this is a product of Palestine, so let’s correct this error and put it back up,” he says to the camera.
“We’re going to correct this mistake, cause they always seem to make mistakes.”
“Let’s educate the public, because clearly there seems to be a lack of publication here.”
“Let’s wipe this (Israel) and replace it with Palestine, because that’s where these grapefruits actually came from.”
“We correct the mistake Costco did, because they seem to always make mistakes when it comes to products of Palestine.”
He then grins at the camera and speaks Arabic.
The X account Leviathan identified Kallas’ affiliation with the CIBC and tagged the prominent Canadian bank in the caption.
The official CIBC account responded in the comments confirming they have seen the video and are investigating the matter.
“Thank you for bringing this to our attention,” wrote CIBC.
“Please know that whenever we become aware of a concern, we investigate and take action as appropriate, as we are doing in this case.”
Leviathan in a second post unearthed footage of Kallas wearing a Hamas head covering on October 7 2024, the one-year anniversary of the terrorist group’s brutal attack on Israel, that betrayed an existing ceasefire agreement and resulted in an active war that still carries on today.
“It's quite clear CIBC and [Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where Kallas is a swim instructor] have a terrorist glorifier in their ranks,” wrote Leviathan in a third post.
“Mohammad Kallas is seen here glorifying Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. He also posts Hamas materials, and believes Jews are the ‘devils’ that ‘control the world.’”
Kallas has since deleted his LinkedIn account.
