Canada banned military exports to Israel — but critics say there’s an ‘absolutely appalling’ loophole

OTTAWA — The Canadian government is being accused of backpedaling on its promise to suspend arms exports to Israel after the U.S. government announced a plan to sell made-in-Canada explosive mortar cartridges to the Israeli government.

Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken approved a sale to Israel of 50,400 explosive mortar cartridges worth roughly $83 million. The cartridges are expected to be manufactured by Québec-based General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Inc. and delivered in 2026, pending congressional approval.

Explosion outside French synagogue injures police officer

An explosion took place outside a synagogue in southern France on Saturday morning, which police are treating as attempted arson.

It was caused by two cars being set alight outside the Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande-Motte, authorities said. One of the vehicles contained a hidden gas bottle.

France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin called the incident “an obviously criminal act”.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “I want to assure our Jewish fellow citizens and the municipality of my full support”, adding that all means were being mobilised to find the perpetrator.

John Ivison: Union finally does the right thing after a whole lot of wrong

Creepy as fuck Fred Hahn

The news that the national board of the Canadian Public Employees Union has called on its vice-president, Fred Hahn, to step down, after posting an antisemitic video, feels like a tipping point.

The union said in a release that it has lost confidence in Hahn, who is also president of its political wing, CUPE Ontario, for posting a digitally manipulated video that showed a Jewish Olympic athlete leaping off a diving board and turning into a bomb.

Canada’s public service unions appear to be infested with Fred Hahn types. They really need to smashed.

The Left’s Role in the Rise of Antisemitism

Progessives looked the other way as antisemitism became a feature, not a bug, in their ideology.

Recently, a statue of Anne Frank in Amsterdam was vandalised with graffiti. The word “Gaza” was scrawled in red paint across the podium of the statue, which has been erected in a park close to where Frank and her family lived before being forced into hiding. In response, the city’s Mayor, Femke Halsema, stated, “No Palestinian has been helped by smearing her so precious statue. … Whoever it was, shame on you! There is no excuse for this.”

Link fixed.

The Only Award Qatar Deserves: Supporting Islamist Terrorism

CIA Director William Burns has awarded the head of the Qatari State Security Agency, Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Khulaifi, the George Tenet Medal for his work on strengthening intelligence cooperation between the US and Qatar.

The ceremony took place amid diplomatic efforts by the US and Qatar to reach a hostage and ceasefire deal between Israel and the Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Burns and Al-Khulaifi are reportedly playing key roles in these efforts.

Cowardly Hamas terror chief stalls cease-fire deal with ‘don’t kill me’ demand

Yahya Sinwar, the new head of Hamas, tossed yet another wrench into Gaza cease-fire talks with an rumored demand for a “don’t kill me” clause in any deal with Israel.

The mastermind of the Oct. 7 atrocities reportedly wants Jerusalem to guarantee his safety — permanently.

Never mind his years of tough talk that it would be an honor to die fighting Israel, nor his opposition to any cease-fire before his recent rise to head the terror group.

Canada pushing Israel on court orders, Joly says

The Canadian government is pushing Israel to accept the emergency orders of the International Court of Justice to prevent genocide in Gaza, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says.

At the same time, Canada is asking South Africa to use its connections in Iran and Hamas to push for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Ms. Joly told The Globe and Mail in an interview on Thursday.

I bet all Israel hangs on her every word.

A mass bomb threat against Jews? Who could have seen that coming?

If only there were signs.

If only we could have foreseen – somehow – that the climate in Canada would become so toxic toward Jews that now, in August of 2024, more than 100 Jewish institutions would receive a bomb threat, warning that the buildings’ occupants “will all end up in a pool of blood.”

“None of you deserve to keep living,” it read.

How did we get here?

Mohammedans cancel Trudeau’s scheduled opportunity to kiss their butts

Meeting between Trudeau and Muslim leaders in Quebec called off after many refuse to attend

A meeting between Muslim leaders in Quebec and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau planned for this afternoon north of Montreal — weeks ahead of a critical byelection in the city — was cancelled after many of those invited refused to attend, CBC News has learned.

“Many members of our community continue to feel angry and frustrated with a government that in their view simply hasn’t operated with integrity in relation to what is happening in Gaza, or in addressing the steep rise of Islamophobia in Canada,” the National Council of Canadian Muslims told CBC News in a media statement.

Iran signals promised strike on Israel may not be imminent

Iran is signaling that its promised strike against Israel may not be imminent, with comments from senior officials temporarily easing fears of escalation into a wider regional conflict.

Iran for weeks has warned of a “devastating” reprisal to “punish” Israel after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh while visiting Tehran in late July — as officials in Israel, Washington and the wider Middle East have nervously waited for a response.

The British state ‘Blob’ has declared war on Israel

The powerful UK network of woke, unelected civil servants and officials known as ‘the Blob’ has become notorious for trying to subvert democracy at home, defying the previous Tory government on everything from Brexit to immigration policy.

Now the Blob is spreading its anti-democratic tentacles internationally, pressing its allies in the Labour government to abandon Israel, which is fighting against Islamist terrorists for its survival as the only democracy in the Middle East. The Blob is so blinded by its loathing of Western-style democracy that it seems prepared, effectively, to declare war on Israel.
