Britain did not bomb the streets of Ireland to take out the leaders of the IRA, Karim Khan has said as he justifies seeking an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor said it was not his job to make friends but to put the victims of injustice and war first, regardless of the geopolitical consequences.
Speaking to The Times, he said the court had to “do our job whether we are applauded or condemned.”
U of T protesters don’t plan to pack up, will hold rally at eviction deadline

This has been circulating in the @UofT encampment.
It is beyond racist and another example of many as to why the encampment needs to be shut down immediately.
More importantly, it shows the depth of anti-Semitism at the University of Toronto and the immense remediation needed. pic.twitter.com/coTeauAx76

Getting to the point where you can’t identify the players anymore.
The University of Toronto tried to stop Suzanne Weiss from addressing the People’s Circle for Palestine at every turn. But she defied the odds and made it in front of thousands this morning to call for boycotts, divestments, and sanctions. #uoft pic.twitter.com/rF8Z6bEoxe

No expulsion activity yet.
Well, this should come as no surprise to anyone. Unidentified gunmen fired shots from a dark-coloured vehicle at the Bais Chaya Mushka, a school for Jewish girls in the Greater Toronto Area, in the early hours of May 25. These “heroes” fled immediately afterward and thankfully no one was injured.
The ever-helpful CBC won’t mention the “T” word as a possible motive (Toronto police are not ruling out terrorism at this stage but stress the investigation is ongoing and involves both the guns and gangs task force as well as the hate crime unit). For its part, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs calls it a “clear, calculated and premeditated targeting of a Jewish school for girls,” adding, “the fact a school was targeted regardless of whether kids were present or not represents another worrying escalation in the violence Jewish Canadians have been experiencing.”
We live in a nation where over 100 Christian churches have been burned down or vandalized and virtually nothing has been done about it because hating Christians in Canada, especially if they’re white has been made acceptable by our government, media and academics.
No to the politization of “Antisemitism” as terrorism.
We have laws on the books covering hate crimes. Make the powers that be enforce them.
A woman beaten by supporters of Iran’s government during a peaceful protest in London has warned that the “IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] are on British soil”.
Ellie Borham, 43, said she was minutes into a five-person protest in London when a group of pro-Iran supporters surrounded and beat her.
“We were standing peacefully, and then the men came. They surrounded us. They threatened us,” she told The Telegraph. “They slapped and punched my face, my body, my legs. One of the men said:
‘We are going to kill you’.”
Police have launched a hunt for a Manchester United fan photographed wearing a team shirt with “Hamas 7” printed on the back.
The unidentified man was pictured walking near Oxford Circus tube station in central London on Friday afternoon.
Inviting support for a proscribed organisation – such as Hamas – or recklessly expressing support for one, is a criminal offence under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act.
The University of Toronto Faculty Association reacted with surprise and alarm to a school warning that professors and staff who refuse to leave a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus before a Monday morning deadline could face disciplinary measures, including termination.
The warning was contained in a trespass notice the university sent Friday to the protesters at the encampment on King’s College Circle, one of dozens of pro-Palestinian protests on campuses across North America that have been calling for universities to divest from companies connected to the Israeli military.
JERUSALEM — Israelis are more divided than ever before, but are united against the idea of their highly unpopular prime minister standing trial over his prosecution of the war in Gaza.
On Monday, International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan announced that he’s seeking arrest warrants, not only for three Hamas leaders who orchestrated the barbaric October 7 massacre — in which 3,000 terrorists flooded across the border with Gaza, raping, torturing and slaughtering 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 hostage — but also for the two men charged with ensuring such atrocities never happen again: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
A massive barrage of rockets targeted Tel Aviv and central Israel for the first time in months. The rockets were fired from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
The IDF confirmed on Sunday that eight projectiles were identified crossing the Rafah area into Israeli territory. A number of the projectiles were intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array, the IDF announced.
A Jewish teenager was pelted with stones by a gang of youths who chased him along a north London street in the middle of the day.
The suspected attack is the latest in a growing number of anti-Semitic incidents seen in the UK since Israel launched its retaliation against the Hamas attacks in October.
It came as Jewish groups said police and politicians need to do more to protect their community in the face of growing tensions and continued pro-Palestinian protests.
In Toronto there was an unprecedented display we haven't seen in these protests yet in North America. GTA4Palestine, a new group led by Naved Bahadur, Nabil Jalbout, and Ahmad Arrar, decided to pause the march to put Hamas spokesperson Abu Obaida on the loudspeaker and give a 5… pic.twitter.com/UJRstlCyRZ

An ambitious U.S. effort to get aid into Gaza via a floating pier in the Mediterranean Sea has gotten off to a sluggish start, facing many of the same logistical challenges that have throttled broader attempts to ease the humanitarian crisis in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
The Pentagon spent $320 million and engaged 1,000 soldiers and sailors to open a major maritime corridor last week, delivering on President Biden’s promise in March that the U.S. military would install a temporary dock off the Gaza coast for cargo ships to unload food, water and other supplies. Fourteen ships from the U.S. and other countries are involved in a mission supported by humanitarian groups and several nations including Israel.
The pro-Palestinian encampments that have plagued campuses across North America have flared up like infected sores, spreading the same message of inciting violence and genocide against Jews from Columbia University to our very own University of Toronto.

I still had the tweet open in a tab so recorded it.
Parliamentarians in the Dutch lower house narrowly voted this week to criminalise the chant “from the river to the sea,” which calls for Israel to be wiped off the map. There are questions over how the motion, passed by just 74-73 votes, will be enacted. But more importantly, it strikes at the heart of the debate over the limits of free speech.
Members of Geert Wilders’ populist Party for Freedom said the ban was in response to “a disturbing increase in anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands.” The motion adds that “from the river to the sea” comes “right off the Hamas charter and is therefore a call for violence against all Jews worldwide.”
Justin Trudeau says Benjamin Netanyahu is blocking two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of impeding progress toward a two-state solution between Israel and a Palestinian state, saying Canada “fundamentally” disagrees with his government’s position on achieving peace.
“Canada’s position has always been that the solution to the extraordinarily difficult challenges in the Middle East are a two-state solution, a peaceful, secure democratic Israel alongside a peaceful, secure, democratic Palestinian state,” Trudeau said Friday during a news conference in Nova Scotia.
What a vote whore.
