While pro-Palestinian encampments have been popping up at university campuses across the country this spring, fewer than one-third of Canadians support the demonstrations, according to a national poll.

Forty-eight percent of Canadians polled by Leger this month said they are opposed to the encampments erected in support of Palestine, compared to the 31 percent who support them. Another 21 percent of those surveyed were unsure or had no opinion.

Of the 31 percent to express support for encampments, 11 percent were “strong” supporters, the poll found, while 20 percent “somewhat” supported them.

The Arab-Israeli conflict will never be fully understood — an essential criterion to solving it — until its ultimate source is recognized. Apart from the blood feud that dates all the way back to Abraham’s sons, Ishmael and Isaac, this source can be summed up in two words: Islamic supremacism.

Islamic doctrine, which teaches that Muslim blood is superior to and far more precious than non-Muslim blood (non-Muslims essentially being on a level with dogs and cattle) imbues Muslims with a sense of supremacism over the rest of mankind. And a good portion of Islamic history further enforces it.

Montreal police say a Jewish school in the borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce has been hit by at least one bullet.

Const. Véronique Dubuc, a spokesperson for Montreal police, said investigators were called Wednesday in the late afternoon about a possible shooting outside a school on Hillsdale Road near Van Horne Avenue.

Just when we thought the Diane Abbott row was inching towards its grubby conclusion, it has descended into farce. After 24 hours of furious briefing, we’re still none the wiser as to whether the long-serving MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington – the seat Abbott has held since 1987, when she became the UK’s first black female MP – will stand for the Labour Party at the General Election.

Recently, both the Université du Québec à Montréal and McGill University requested injunctions to remove pro-Palestinian encampments from their campuses. McGill was likely thrust into action, perturbed by students blocking a lawn that was needed for convocation ceremonies. But it wasn’t until protesters showed up at the private home of one of its administrators that McGill’s president, Deep Saini, decided the encampment “isn’t a peaceful protest,” and had to be stopped.

I hear many people wondering out loud and in print about why so many Hamas supporters parade around with Communist Chinese or retro-Soviet symbols and garb while they try to portray Israel as Nazis. .

Most people see the obvious truth that Israel has only been protecting her people and defending her right to exist. There are also many who understand that Israel is the sole democratic state in the entire Middle East – a state that treats her Muslim citizens as equals in the polity. This while all the Muslim states around her, treat any Jews who have not been expelled or murdered as third class nonentities.

Ottawa Police have moved in to
remove peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors from in front of Parliament Hill. I asked an officer why they're arresting + removing- he said: "Because they're blocking the road. They've been here for hours".

I suppose one of the advantages to being excommunicated from the UBC occupation protest witnessing the actions of a few counter-protestors from the outside. These indigenous counter-protestors, who I saw ripping down Palestinian flags and signs, were particularly interesting. pic.twitter.com/5RU4kgNeDj

The announcement by Ireland, Norway and Spain that they are to recognise a Palestinian state this week only highlights a breathtaking naivety about the fundamental reality of the long-standing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

In fact, the announcement is likely to extend the violent conflict currently taking place in Gaza: it sends a clear message to terrorist groups such as Hamas that carrying out brutal attacks against innocent Israeli civilians will be rewarded by supporting their demand for statehood.
