Counter-terror police have arrested seven people suspected of plotting an arson attack on a Jewish target.
The arrests, in Harpenden and Stevenage, Hertfordshire, and in Birmingham, were part of a proactive investigation into an alleged conspiracy to commit arson.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said that while the intended target was believed to be related to the Jewish community, the specific location was not known.
Israel’s prime minister, foreign minister and military on Monday condemned the desecration of a crucifix smashed by an Israeli soldier in a southern Lebanese village home to Christians.
A photo that emerged online over the weekend shows a soldier taking the blunt side of an axe to a fallen sculpture of Jesus on the cross. It was posted by Younis Tirawi, who describes himself as a Palestinian reporter and has also posted images of Israeli soldiers’ apparent misconduct in Gaza.
Sigh …
Once again, large segments of the international community, from the United Nations to key European governments, appear either unwilling or unable to confront the basic and uncomfortable reality that the latest escalation in hostilities did not begin with Israel. It began with Hezbollah.
This silence — or at best, selective acknowledgment — when, without provocation, rockets were launched into Israel, stands in blazing contrast to the instant outrage when Israel responds. That imbalance is not just dishonest; it distorts the foundation of how conflicts like this are understood.
The death of another Palestinian “journalist” working for Qatar’s Al-Jazeera TV empire has once again triggered outrage and drawn condemnations from some in the international community. Yet those who rushed to denounce Israel for targeting the Gaza-based “journalist” are ignoring voluminous evidence that he and some of his Palestinian colleagues were, in fact, active members of terrorist organizations.
The jihad terrorist Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and its partner in crime, the “moderate” Palestinian Authority (PA), have just been hit in their pocketbooks.
The PLO is itself a terror group. The PA is a supporter of terrorism through its “Pay-For-Slay” program, that provides generous stipends to imprisoned terrorists, and to the families of terrorists who died while committing their attacks. In a suit brought by the families of Americans killed or injured in these terror attacks, a jury decided that the PLO and the PA were liable under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Israeli police protecting a cardinal vs. Islamic terrorists killing Christians. Who does the West villify? It’s the same perverse logic that turned Gaza into a global obsession while ignoring Chinese camps for Uyghurs, church burnings in India, beheadings in Somalia and Iran massacring protestors.
“If we do not wake up, Islam will impose its law and culture on us,” Cardinal Robert Sarah said on Le Figaro TV, appearing to be the last prelate in the Vatican still willing to speak uncomfortable truths.
But I fear Sarah is wrong. Judging by what happened last week, it’s not that we won’t wake up-it’s that the loudest part of us has already chosen to sleep deeply.
The death toll of Christians massacred on Palm Sunday in Nigeria rises to 53: just background noise in the global media chaos.
In a media release issued Wednesday, officials say investigators with the Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force, supported by the Hate Crime Unit and Counter Terrorism Security Unit, launched a probe into the incident.
On April 5, officers executed a search warrant in Brampton, in the area of Bovaird Drive East and Torbram Road.
As a result, 30-year-old Mohamed Mahdi, of Brampton, has been charged with multiple firearm-related offences, including discharging a restricted or prohibited firearm and possession of a loaded prohibited firearm.
Bet he’s shortlisted for the Diversity Ambassador post!
A gunman was killed and two were injured in a shootout near the Israeli consulate in Istanbul.
Two policemen were “slightly injured” in the gun fight, Turkish Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said.
Ciftci said the attackers had come to Istanbul from the city of Izmit by rental car and that two of them were brothers.
In 2003, Limor Son Har-Melech was 7 months pregnant and driving home with her husband, Shalom, an ambulance driver, when Islamic terrorists attacked them. The car rolled over, killing her husband and injuring Limor. Seriously injured, the 24-year-old mother survived. So did her newborn daughter. Limor, still carrying the scars of the attack, married again, had children and decided to run for public office in Israel to protect others from what she had suffered.
A Muslim man argued he had First Amendment rights to call a Jewish family ‘dirty people’ at a Miami Beach park, prosecutors said.
Ahmad Zeeshan, 32, was arrested on Thursday after he allegedly approached a Jewish family at Stillwater Park and shouted anti-Semitic slurs at them, NBC Miami reported.
‘Are you guys Jewish?’ he allegedly asked, according to Local 10 News. After confirmation, he allegedly yelled: ‘Get the f**k out of here, you f**king dirty people.’
With heavily armed Toronto police guarding Jewish institutions during Passover, a Jewish-owned restaurant became the city’s latest target of antisemitic gunfire on Friday morning, prompting Israel’s ambassador to Canada to urge authorities to act “before it’s too late.”
Old Avenue restaurant in north Toronto was hit by gunfire around 1:30 a.m. on Friday. CTV reported surveillance video showing a man crossing Avenue Road and firing repeatedly into the restaurant, as well its own footage showing bullet holes in the door to the kitchen at the back of the restaurant.

Three men have been charged over an arson attack on four Jewish community ambulances in Golders Green.
Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old boy have been charged with arson being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.
The two British nationals from Leyton, and the dual British and Pakistani national from Walthamstow, were arrested on Wednesday.
And there you have it. Britain is a country where a musician who says ‘Heil Hitler’ gets to headline festivals while a musician who plays with a Jew from Israel gets cancelled. Threaten to go ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’ and you’ll be grand. Jam with a Jewish person and you’re toast. Selling T-shirts adorned with the swastika? No problem. Doing a duet with someone from the Jewish state? Don’t even think about it.
This will be remembered as the Passover raid that saw the seizure of anti-Israel protest signs and the arrest of a man known to police.
Toronto Police promised to crack down on protesters crossing the line in a in North York neighbourhood and on Passover they delivered on that promise.
During this year’s Passover, Toronto looks like a war zone.
Police are standing in front of synagogues carrying semi-automatic rifles. You can’t miss cops in full tactical gear on TTC subway platforms or walking along Toronto sidewalks.
