Calling Hamas terrorists is ‘dehumanising’, academic claims at university book launch

Calling Hamas terrorists is “dehumanising”, an academic claimed as a controversial book launch went ahead at the London School of Economics (LSE).

Prof Jeroen Gunning, of King’s College London (KCL), told the event that “labelling” the Palestinian terror group as “terrorists” leads to their “dehumanisation”.

The academic was speaking at a launch event for his book entitled Understanding Hamas: And Why It Matters, which was co-authored by Helena Cobban, at LSE on Monday.

Meanwhile in the Caliphate of Toronto

I note this chatter about criminalizing the naming of Hamas supporters as Hamas supporters seems coordinated, the TPS vid, the recent “Islamophobia Report” by the Liberal party’s Islamophobia Tsar and now this addition to the junk pile by the ever toxic LSE.

The new policy will go into effect Wednesday morning, Trump said in a Truth Social post that also repeated his calls for Canada to be absorbed into the U.S. as the “Fifty First State.”

The secret to Trump’s Ukraine negotiations is hidden in plain sight

America’s decision to cut weapons deliveries and aid to Ukraine, as well as the dressing down of Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, has triggered understandable outrage amongst Western allies.

But perhaps they shouldn’t be surprised.

Mr Trump’s tactic to bring Ukraine to heel and force the country to negotiate on peace follows a careful plan written and published in black and white last summer by none other than the president’s Kyiv envoy.

John Ivison: Carney is already having trouble not looking like Trudeau 2.0

Canadians, as new Liberal leader Mark Carney pointed out in his low-key victory speech , want change.

The question, perhaps the ballot question, is whether Carney can convince them he is an agent of that change, and distinguish himself from his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

The task was not helped by the format of Sunday evening’s event, which served as both a tribute to Trudeau and a launching pad for his successor.

Trump Adviser Says Canada Not Doing Enough to Combat Drug Labs

U.S. President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser is accusing Canada’s law enforcement agencies of not taking enough action on fentanyl labs, while reiterating previous comments from the U.S. administration that the tariffs put on Canada are part of a “drug war, not a trade war.”

“I can tell you that in the Situation Room, I’ve seen photographs of fentanyl labs in Canada that the law enforcement folks were leaving alone. Canada’s got a big drug problem, even in their own cities,” U.S. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said during an interview on ABC News on March 9.

LGBT Gang Allegedly Tortures, Kills Trans Woman. Queer Activists Blame Straight ‘Hate’

No motive has been released by the police in the alleged torture and murder of Sam Nordquist, a trans-identifying woman killed in New York in early February. There is, however, sufficient evidence to confirm the alleged murder was not a hate crime.

Despite this, media reports insist on forcing that narrative, as LGBT activists demand it and Democrat leaders validate it. The facts of the case are deeply disturbing, and the obsession with manufacturing an anti-trans hate crime story is making it worse.

Fake news Carney says Poilievre would ‘let our planet burn’

Newly minted Liberal leader Mark Carney isn’t wasting time when it comes to spreading fake news — following in the footsteps of Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault.

During his victory speech on Sunday, Carney said, “Pierre Poilievre would let our planet burn. This is not leadership, it’s ideology.”

Audience members booed Poilievre.

Mexico Rebarbarizes

That’s popular Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum participating recently in some kind of ceremony meant to honor indigenous women. When she was inaugurated last year, she held a public ritual in which indigenous women “cleansed” her. A friend from Central America told me on Friday that based on what his Mexican relatives tell him, he would not be at all surprised if Mexico City reverted to Tenochtitlán, its Aztec name. If that happens, it will be because of the broader de-Christianization and re-indigenization of the country.

Woke RAF is running out of gun pilots! Unlawful diversity drive jeopardises Starmer’s pledge to put jets ‘in sky over Ukraine’

RAF bosses have launched a desperate search for pilots after a secret bid to discriminate against white male applicants backfired.

Candidates previously overlooked are now being urged to re-apply for training as the Air Force frantically tries to fill cockpits with combat-ready flyers, the Mail can reveal.

The plea follows a controversial drive by top brass to prioritise the recruitment of women and ethnic minorities, which was found to be unlawful.

Hamas Alarmed About Emigration of Young Gazans

Much of the world has chosen to dismiss or denounce Trump’s proposal for the Gaza Strip. That plan expresses Trump’s belief that Gaza could be turned into a highly desirable, mostly residential property, with a long and beautiful beachfront, once the rubble is removed, and the unexploded ordnance, and the other explosives with which Hamas booby-trapped so many civilian buildings, could also be collected and safely detonated. No Gazans would be forced to leave; the plan envisions a voluntary and temporary exodus, with Gazans returning, in staggered numbers, once some part of Gaza has again been rebuilt with what Trump envisions as attractive new and solid housing. He believes that this removal of the rubble and then the rebuilding of infrastructure will be paid for by the rich Arab states of the Gulf — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait — with not one penny coming from the American government.
