Professor Abraham Wyner showed that the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry has been “faking” casualty numbers, in an article for Tablet Magazine on March 7.
A professor of Statistics and Data Science at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Wyner provided a detailed analysis of the data from the Gaza Health Ministry, which showed that they had, at the very minimum, been doctored – and at worst, completely faked.
In a display of all the modesty of which he is capable during a Thursday speech, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer anointed himself the voice of “so many mainstream Jewish Americans” — a “silent majority” whose sentiments he alone could divine. After all, there are few better stewards of Jewish interests than Schumer, according to Schumer. “My last name is Schumer, which derives from the Hebrew word ‘shomer,’ or ‘guardian,’” he began. As he has in the past, Schumer assumed for himself the “responsibility as a ‘Shomer Yisrael’ — a guardian of the people of Israel.”
Since Oct. 7, 2023, external humanitarian aid has primarily had to enter the Gaza Strip via the land crossing at Rafah, which is run by Egypt.
Gen. Abdel Fatteh El-Sisi, the ruler of Egypt for the past decade, is as committed as Israel to the goal of keeping arms out of the hands of terrorists, so Israel trusts his government in Egypt to vet these shipments and ensure that armaments aren’t smuggled in among the convoys of food and beverages that cross every day.
“What all Europe refers to as liberty is, perhaps, something rather pedantic, rather bourgeois in comparison to our need for order—that’s the point,” wrote Thomas Mann sometime between 1913 and 1924, when he was working on his great novel The Magic Mountain. Yet these words, written a century ago, seem to speak directly and meaningfully to everyone living in Europe today. There’s something particularly foul about the leftist voices that are speaking up in our times, especially since October 7th, 2023. The call for ‘Ceasefire Now!’ presents itself as eminently human, practical to the exclusion of all sophistry. ‘Just stop the killing,’ the slogan insists, ‘Don’t get complicated with subtle explanations’—even the not-so-complicated explanation that Israel is responding to the unprovoked massacre of its people. So deeply does the raw concern for human life run, apparently, that we need thousands of people taking over city spaces in order to illustrate its urgency. People’s daily routines need to be disrupted. ‘Wake up to reality!’ and ‘Remember the children!’ are the sorts of messages the world needs to hear, and ever more vividly and loudly as the weeks go by.
The federal government is deliberately slow-walking a request from Israel for permission to import Canadian-made armoured patrol vehicles, two sources tell Radio-Canada.
Shortly after the deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israeli citizens — which left about 1,200 people dead and some 250 others taken hostage — the Israeli government sent a request to the office of Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly for clearance to import about thirty armoured patrol vehicles from Ontario manufacturer Roshel.
Trudeau’s influence makes Joly even dumber.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for an election in Israel to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the US’ most vocal opposition of the prime minister since October 7 during remarks Thursday from the Senate floor.
Canada pledges help for Palestinian sex-crime victims, angering Israeli envoy
OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly has announced funding for Palestinian women who have survived sexual violence, drawing an immediate rebuke from a senior Israeli official.
Joly pledged $1 million for women from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip whom her office described as “survivors of sexual violence, no matter the circumstance.”
Joly’s office would not say whether Canada believes Israeli forces are perpetrating sexual violence on women in Gaza, nor if the funding pertains to domestic abuse in the Palestinian territories.
Now Junior is sending his GF out to whore for Hamas votes.
Dutch comedian Hans Teeuwen on Tuesday found himself the target of a police raid mere hours after publishing a video ridiculing Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema’s defense of allowing a pro-Palestinian demonstration at the opening of the city’s Holocaust museum over the weekend.

A New Generation of Islamist Political Power
The response in state legislatures to the Hamas Islamic terror attacks of Oct 7 showed how thoroughly Islamists have infiltrated our political system and the threat that they pose.
In Delaware, Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton, the first Muslim elected in Delaware, heckled Vice President Kamala Harris at a Christmas party, demanding that Israel stop attacking Hamas.
A Palestinian citizen of Israel is to be granted asylum by the Home Office on the basis that he has a “well-founded” fear of persecution if returned to Israel, because of his campaigning activities in the UK.
The 24-year-old, known only as “Hasan”, claimed he faced an increased risk of persecution because of his Palestinian solidarity activism in the UK and his anti-Zionist political opinions.
He alleged Israel maintained an “apartheid” system where Palestinian citizens were oppressed.
City council in Surrey, B.C., says it is restricting public access to its meetings after persistent disruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters.
Mayor Brenda Locke began the Mar. 11 meeting by announcing that the public would be allowed to attend meetings on city premises, but outside the gallery.
She told the meeting that council had adopted provisions for registered members of the public to speak on items on the agenda.
Italy on Monday arrested three Palestinian men, described by the Minister of Interior Matteo Piantedosi as “dangerous terrorists.” Prosecutors said they were planning terror attacks abroad.
La Repubblica reports that the three had been allowed to live in Italy after being given “residence permits for humanitarian reasons.”
Swiss politician Ruedi Löffel said the news was a sign that “Hamas terrorism is coming to Europe.”
At London’s weekly anti-Israel protests each Saturday, one can often find a small group of strictly Orthodox Jewish men — always men or boys, never women. Generally no more than a dozen, they hold signs with wording such as “Judaism: Godly and Compassionate. Zionism: Godless and Merciless”, or “Authentic Jewry Worldwide Never Recognised the State of Israel or Jerusalem as its Capital”. At the bottom of the placards, there is inevitably a mention of either “NKEurope” or “NKUSA”. “NK” stands for “Neturei Karta”, Aramaic for “Guardians of the City”, the name of the group the men belong to.
“We are here as men who refuse to have their Jewishness and the Holocaust hijacked by an ‘occupation’ which has led to conflict for so many innocent people”.
This is how British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer spouted forth idiocies as he received the Oscar for best international film for “The Zone of Interest”. So what if Gaza has not been under “occupation” since 2005 and Hamas does not know what to do with Glazer’s distancing from his own “Jewishness”? It’s like the Jewishness of Judith Butler, the gender philosopher of Berkeley who last week defined the massacre of 7th October as “armed resistance”. There are no “good Jews” in Hamas’ world.
The US administration believes that the Palestinian Authority (PA) should be “revitalized” before it is handed control over the Gaza Strip after the Iran-backed Hamas terror group is removed from power. The US administration, however, has not clarified what it means when it talks about the “revitalization” of the PA. It can be assumed that it implies implementing — and enforcing — comprehensive reforms and ending the rampant financial and administrative corruption in Palestinian governing institutions.
PA leaders, meanwhile, seem to have a different interpretation of the “revitalization” proposal. For these leaders, revamping the PA means forging an alliance with Hamas by inviting the terror group to be part of a new governing body that would rule the Gaza Strip in the post-war era.
