A “Happy Holocaust,” “Peace be upon Hitler,” and “Ask her if she thinks the treatment of Palestinians reminds her [of] the treatment she got in the camps” were some of the comments Ebert received.

New progressive talking point after NYC attacks: We condemn anti-semitism — and Islamophobia
I should stress that this is a progressive talking point, not a Democratic talking point. Biden and Harris, who need to worry about satisfying a more centrist national electorate, were clear in recognizing that the recent violence in the U.S. and NYC especially isn’t a “both sides” thing.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reveals she is in therapy after the Capitol riot that she believes was an ‘all-out attempted coup’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed she is in therapy after the Capitol Riot that she has described as an ‘all-out attempted coup’.
The Squad member told the Latino USA podcast that she is learning to ‘slow down’ and indicated her colleagues in the House are still too scared to talk about what happened on January 6.
‘Oh yeah, I’m doing therapy but also I’ve just slowed down. I think the Trump administration had a lot of us, especially Latino communities, in a very reactive mode,’ she said.
‘Black Panther of Oxford’ Sasha Johnson shot in gang dispute
‘Wrong place, wrong time’: Friends hold vigil for ‘Black Panther of Oxford’ Sasha Johnson as it emerges she was caught in crossfire when drive-by gunmen targeted house party in gang dispute
Friends have held a vigil for a British Black Lives Matter leader who took a bullet in the head when a London gang carried out a botched drive-by shooting to assassinate a rival at the end of an all-day party.
Demonstrators gathered at the bandstand in Ruskin Park, Lambeth, to ‘pray’ for Sasha Johnson, 27 – the self-styled ‘Black Panther of Oxford’ who called for the police to be defunded after the murder of George Floyd and helped lead the ‘Rhodes Must Fall’ campaign to topple controversial statues.
The activist is fighting for her life in hospital following the attack in Peckham, which her political party claimed came after she received multiple death threats.
Last night her “activist” friends were attempting to gin this up as a political assassination.

Allah in the Family: The Latest Islamic Violence-at-a-Glance
Yes, I’m going there.
We all know Islam is the “Religion of Peace.” Tell that to these people.
Top imam who helps police to spot extremists labelled Israel a ‘terrorist state’
Priti Patel has ordered an inquiry into a prominent Muslim cleric paid by the Government to combat extremism after he told an angry crowd that Israel is a ‘terrorist state’.
The Home Secretary was responding to a Mail investigation into Imam Irfan Chishti MBE, who has played a leading role in the country’s Prevent programme designed to combat radicalisation since 2013.
His company, Me and You Education, gives training to the police, the NHS and in schools on how to spot extremists and neutralise radicalisation. On its website, Mr Chishti says that his goal is to heal divisions between communities.
The Fantasy-Islam of our “betters” in action.
Prince Harry using newfound ‘wokeness’ as shield, royal expert says
A royal expert is claiming that Prince Harry is using his newfound “woke persona” as a shield against “any wrongdoing.”
And, as a result, Harry has distanced himself from Prince Philip, who he was once likened to.
Harry has a bad case of Meghan.
Erin O’Toole isn’t breaking through — and Jason Kenney and Doug Ford aren’t helping
Unable to make any headway in the polls against the Liberals, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole could use a little help from his friends Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Basically, he needs Ford and Kenney to avoid doing anything that makes matters worse for him.
Trailing the Liberals by six percentage points nationwide in the CBC’s Poll Tracker — an aggregation of all publicly available polling data — the Conservatives are struggling in both Ontario and Alberta, among other places.
Wuhan lab staff sought hospital care before COVID-19 outbreak disclosed – WSJ
Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) sought hospital care in November 2019, a month before China reported the first cases of COVID-19, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing a U.S. intelligence report.
The newspaper said the previously undisclosed report – which provides fresh details on the number of researchers affected, the timing of their illnesses, and their hospital visits – may add weight to calls for a broader investigation into whether the COVID-19 virus could have escaped from the laboratory.
I remember when this was “racist.”
Sports Illustrated now only illustrating wokeness
The Left ruins everything. Television. Movies. Economies. Cities. Lives. Religion. Comedy. Sports. Everything. Literally everything.
It does so in many insidious ways. It divides us with multiculturalism and critical race theory. It makes some groups bitter, envious, and indolent by telling them they are victims of other groups’ bigotry…and that there is nothing any of the groups can do about it. It revises history, changes language, and restricts speech, all in an effort to restrict thought. It brandishes “wokeism” as a weapon and “cancels” those it dislikes. All of this has led to a more ignorant—and less fun—America.
How Hamas’ Assault Serves as Iran’s Testing Ground
Hamas’s war effort against Israel is of importance to Iran as a testing ground for a certain strategic hypothesis. As [Hamas representative in Tehran Khaled] Qaddoumi put it, the movement this time “applied a strategic shift in the concept of resistance, from defending Gaza against Israeli attacks to defending all Palestinians living in historic Palestine.”
BBC bias over Israel – the report they still won’t let you read
NATURALLY there is saturation media coverage of the Dyson Report about how the BBC obtained an interview with Princess Diana 26 years ago. The report exposes BBC professional incompetence and moral indecency, and those responsible should be ashamed of their disgraceful behaviour.
This is therefore an appropriate time to ask the BBC hierarchy why they continue to suppress the Balen Report, which was commissioned to investigate biased BBC coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian issue of the type which has been so current these last weeks.
Spy who got the cold shoulder: how the west abandoned its star defector
On a cold winter’s day, eight months before the Berlin Wall went up in 1961, the west’s most valuable double agent went on the run in East Berlin. Warned that his colleagues in both the Polish intelligence service and the KGB were on to him, Michal Goleniewski spent days crisscrossing the city, desperately trying to evade their surveillance for long enough to reach the US consulate – and defect to the west.
The day he managed it proved to be one of the most important of the cold war, a new book published later this month will argue. Drawing on previously unpublished documents, it reveals that Goleniewski exposed 1,693 Soviet bloc agents, including some of the most infamous spies of the period.
“No other defector or agent – before or since – has identified such a vast haul of spies,” said Tim Tate, author of The Spy Who Was Left Out in the Cold.
Biden Demanded Israel Cancel Jerusalem Day Parade and End Evictions of Illegal Muslim Occupiers
Thus far the only difference between the Obama strategy and the Biden strategy on Israel is appearances.
Obama made a point of picking public fights with Netanyahu in order to justify a breach with Israel, while Biden makes statements publicly supporting Israel while doing the dirty work behind the scenes. A lot of Biden administration policies come from staffers, but this one has the feel of coming from Biden. It was also the way that the Clinton administration handled things with Israel.
