“Oct 7 2023”

When I first applied to Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson), I was ecstatic to start a new chapter. I knew that university was life-changing, marking the beginning of a transformative time for me. I quickly accepted my business commerce application with no hesitation. I was shocked to find out that there were so many on campus who perceived me as second-class as a Jew and as a Zionist. A school filled with people’s constant harassment opened my eyes to experience fear as a university student.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed over X, formally Twitter, on Saturday that the war against Hamas in Gaza would continue until the terrorist organization was destroyed.

“Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: The destruction of Hamas military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel,” the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) stated.

Law students at Toronto Metropolitan University who last fall signed a letter of “unequivocal support” for Palestine and “all forms of Palestinian resistance,” triggering a massive backlash including calls for their expulsion, did not breach the school’s code of conduct, according to the findings of an external review.

Toronto police say they will only take action to clear a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Toronto in case of emergency or to carry out a court order.

In an update to the Toronto Police Service Board this morning, deputy chief Rob Johnson said “given the manner in which events have unfolded to date,” the law on trespassing doesn’t give the force legal authority to clear the encampment.

Scaredy cats.

Israel has proposed a new three-phase ceasefire deal and plan for the day after the war, President Joe Biden said on Friday afternoon during a special address from the White House.

Biden laid out the terms for the agreement which would begin with six weeks of ceased hostilities in which women, children, elderly and injured hostages would be released.

In the first phase, Israeli forces would withdraw from densely populated areas in Gaza.

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.
