Europe: Anti-Israel Protests Descend into Anti-Semitism

Pro-Palestinian demonstrations in cities across Europe have descended into unrestrained orgies of anti-Semitism after protesters opposed to Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip openly called for the destruction of Israel and death to Jews.

The protesters, numbering in the tens-to-the-hundreds of thousands, include a hodgepodge of anarchists, hard-left anti-Israel activists and immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa. Many demonstrators — carrying flags of Muslim countries, including Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Tunisia, Turkey and Syria, as well as the green flag of the Islamist terrorist group Hamas and the black flag of global Jihad — have shouted Islamist chants such as ‘Allahu Akhbar’ (‘Allah is the Greatest’), and have openly called for Jews to be murdered or raped.

Walgreens Closes 17 San Francisco Stores Due To “Out Of Control” Shoplifting

The effects of allowing chaos to prevail in Democrat-controlled cities across America might not be evident to liberals and social justice warriors now, but when businesses close up, it’s going to be very transparent then.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 17 Walgreens Pharmacy locations have shuttered their doors in San Francisco during the past five years. At least ten of the stores in the city have closed since 2019.

Tensions flare as fifth Toronto homeless encampment cleared in a week at Lamport Stadium

A homeless encampment in west-end Toronto became the scene of a physical clash between Toronto police officers and protesters on Wednesday, as a crowd attempted to block dozens of police and security from clearing some 15 remaining people from a Lamport Stadium camp.

A physical altercation erupted after advocates attempted to block machinery from taking away a small, wooden structure. Two people were arrested for trespassing, and one for alleged assault of a police officer. Before the clash, protesters had decried enforcement and officers pressed into the crowd with bikes to form a perimeter around an occupant told to pack their bags.

I am a little surprised this has received such subdued media coverage. But then the media in Toronto has paid scant attention to the weekly “Freedom Marches” which grow with each outing. It almost seems they pick and choose the news they report on to suit someone’s agenda.

Israel shot down armed Iranian drone – Netanyahu

The drone Israel shot down near the border with Jordan on Tuesday was Iranian, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday.

“While we were busy fighting, a few days ago, Iran sent an armed drone into Israel from Iraq or Syria,” Netanyahu told German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, who was in Jerusalem. “Iranian forces launched an armed drone, which our forces shot down at the border between Israel and Jordan.

Ontario reports 2,400 new Covid cases … and… glum expectations of a lost summer so maybe take up golf?

Ontario reports 2,400 new Covid cases … and… glum expectations of a lost summer so maybe take up golf?

Ont. reports 2,400 new COVID-19 cases today but rolling seven-day average still down

After two consecutive days of daily case counts below 2,000, the number of new COVID-19 infections reported in the province jumped up to 2,400 on Thursday.

Today’s total is up significantly from the 1,588 cases confirmed on Wednesday and the 1,616 infections reported on Tuesday but down from the 2,759 cases reported last Thursday.

Majority of Canadians anticipate another lost summer due to COVID-19 restrictions: poll

A majority of Canadians believe this summer will be another disappointment as COVID-19 restrictions are set to remain in place despite increased vaccinations, a new poll suggests.

The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found seven in 10 Canadians are anticipating a second lost summer. Yet 61 per cent of those who responded to the poll also said they believe this summer will be better than last year’s, when vaccines were still far from becoming a reality.

But not if your a golfer rumour has it…

The nerve of some people!

Infectious-disease scientists at Canada’s high-security lab collaborated with Communist China’s Military

Infectious-disease scientists at Canada’s high-security lab collaborated with China

Scientists working at Canada’s highest-security infectious-disease laboratory have been collaborating with Chinese military researchers to study and conduct experiments on deadly pathogens.

Seven scientists in the special pathogens unit at the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg and Chinese military researchers have conducted experiments and co-authored six studies on infectious diseases such as Ebola, Lassa fever and Rift Valley fever. The publication dates of the studies range from early 2016 to early 2020.

The Globe and Mail has also learned that one of the Chinese researchers, Feihu Yan, from the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Academy of Military Medical Sciences, worked for a period of time at the Winnipeg lab, a Level 4 facility equipped to handle some of the world’s deadliest diseases. This researcher is credited as a co-author on all six of the papers. However, on two of them, he is listed as being affiliated with both the Winnipeg lab and the military medical academy.

Has anyone been shot yet?

Biden: Pipelines for Putin, just not for America

Joe Biden’s been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” as Bob Gates wrote in his memoir, so here we go again.

This time, he sanctioned the wrong country, giving Vladimir Putin a pass on his energy pipeline to Europe, while sanctioning America’s pipeline from Canada.  Only bad guys get sanctions, see, so guess who Biden’s bad guy is.

Here’s the truth: Hamas is a terrorist group on a mission of genocide

Dear Trevor Noah,

I just watched your 10-minute monologue on the Israeli-Hamas conflict for your popular television program “The Daily Show” (which aired May 11).

Frankly, it wasn’t easy viewing. In fact, I began talking back to the screen, but, obviously, to no avail, so I chose instead to write you this open letter.

Biden Military Purges Critical Race Theory Critic From U.S. Space Force

“You keep watch around the world to detect missile launches, space launches, and nuclear detonations while providing critical intelligence. All of you are pioneers in the newest branch of our armed forces.”

That was President Donald Trump in a November 26, 2020 video conference with officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Space Force, which was “very special to me, that new branch, because that was something that I felt was necessary.”

Germany’s growing extremism problem

Germany clearly has a far-right problem. But there is evidence, too, of a growing far-left and Islamist extremism

On June 2, 2019, a German politician was found lying in a pool of blood outside his home in Hesse. He had been shot in the head at close range with a .38 Rossi revolver. Walter Lübcke, the 65-year-old leader of Kassel city council, who had been a vocal supporter of Germany’s immigration policy, had been assassinated by a German member of the British neo-Nazi group Combat 18. On Tuesday, his killer was sentenced to life in prison.

Nearly 20 Percent Of Seattle Police Force Quits Following Defunding And Black Lives Matter Riots

After budget cuts and months of Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioting, Seattle’s Police Chief indicated Wednesday that nearly 20 percent of the city’s police officers have left in the past year and a half.

“The support that we had in my generation of policing is no longer there,” veteran Officer Clayton Powell told CBS News, concurring with Interim Police Chief Adrian Diaz’s assessment. More than 260 officers have quit the force since the beginning of last year.
