Benjamin Netanyahu’s party has compared the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani to the leaders of Iran and Hezbollah on a campaign billboard.
The billboard in central Tel Aviv depicts Mamdani alongside the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and the chief of the militant group Hezbollah, Naim Qassem.
“They want Netanyahu to lose … Don’t let them win,” says the poster featuring the logo of Netanyahu’s rightwing Likud party.

Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke over the phone with Donald Trump on Monday afternoon ahead of the U.S. president’s tariff deadline.
While CTV News has confirmed the conversation took place, the Prime Minister’s Office would not provide further details, other than that the conversation was about “the ongoing trade negotiations.”
PM @MarkJCarney says he has plan to cover “all eventualities” if U.S. imposes $28 billion in new tariffs under Wednesday deadline. Details of plan too confidential to discuss in public, he said.https://t.co/KzTwlnxDkI@howardlutnick @jamiesongreer @DLeBlancNB @GAC_Corporate… pic.twitter.com/1zJ4hBVI0r

Iran has offered its soldiers and citizens $30,000 (£22,000) for killing or capturing any American troops, with the reward doubled if a woman completes the mission.
Amir Hatami, Tehran’s army chief, said on Sunday the plan had been drawn up following a “large number of requests” to support the war, which shows no signs of a diplomatic breakthrough.
“For us this is not a trade war,” Jamieson Greer said last week.
It’s a statement at odds with how Canadians have viewed the ongoing trade dispute with the United States. It’s not the first time that Greer, Donald Trump’s chief trade negotiator, has made those remarks; he’s also not the first senior American official to dispute the idea that Canada is in a trade war with the United States.

There is a growing chorus of Conservatives who want Pierre Poilievre gone. They should be careful what they wish for.
This isn’t necessarily a defence of Poilievre. He has made mistakes, his critics have legitimate arguments and nobody is entitled to lead a political party forever. And maybe the Conservatives will eventually conclude that somebody else should lead them into the next election.

According to the abortion-isms of old, women have the “right to choose” what happens to the babies they carry. “Her body, her choice,” they shout. The wild, wild west that is third-party reproduction, however, claims to be an exception to that rule if a contract clause compelling abortion exists.
That’s exactly what happened to single mom surrogate McKenna West, who refused to abort the baby boy she was carrying after the Californians who paid to create him in a lab via in vitro fertilization (IVF) demanded it over the child’s severe, yet treatable, heart condition diagnosis.
There are a number of ways in which Western governments are waging war against their citizens. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and leftists in the United States do not believe in free speech. These Western governments also spy on their citizens without warrants or probable cause. They have transformed their court systems into ideologically-partisan dictatorships that impose rulings based upon feelings and “political correctness,” rather than black-letter law and self-restraint. An offense that often gets overlooked, however, is Western governments’ infringement of citizens’ freedom of association.
LAS VEGAS — In May 2013, an undercover FBI employee sat down in Las Vegas with a Chinese student who had already built an unusual network stretching from Chinese government circles into the political establishment of Northern California.
To Christine Fang, the encounter appeared to offer a business relationship.
For many years, it has been tantamount to racism to draw any connection between foreign nationals and criminal offending in the UK. But case after case shows that there is a connection, and that it is becoming stronger. This is particularly true when it comes to male immigrants from Afghanistan committing sexual offences.
