Mounties announced terrorism charges Monday against a man accused of firing a gun and igniting a Molotov cocktail at Edmonton City Hall in January.
Bezhani Sarvar, who is 28, is charged with counselling commission of a terrorism offence and possession of property for terrorist purposes, said the RCMP Federal Policing Integrated National Security Enforcement Team.
Israel’s public broadcaster has requested changes to the lyrics of a song submitted for this year’s Eurovision contest.
Organisers barred it last week for breaking rules on political neutrality.
Israeli broadcaster Kan had pledged not to alter the lyrics of October Rain – an apparent reference to the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October.
Investigators with the Toronto Police are reviewing whether illegal activity occurred during a weekend protest that led to the cancellation of a reception hosted by the prime minister for a visiting G7 leader, the force said Sunday.
The Saturday evening event at the Art Gallery of Ontario was meant to cap off a day of meetings between Justin Trudeau and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Toronto, but it was abruptly cancelled after demonstrators shouting pro-Palestinian slogans blocked entrances to the building and prevented many attendees from getting in.
The effort to promote anti-Israel sentiment in all forms has gotten to the point where activists are now regurgitating anti-Christian propaganda from the third and fourth centuries.
It’s every bit as ridiculous as it sounds.
On February 25, a mentally disturbed man self-immolated in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. His dying words were “Free Palestine.”
According to a Wall Street Journal report on Thursday, Yahya Sinwar sent a message to his concerned counterparts hiding out in Qatar that they need not worry about Hamas losses in the war.
On the contrary, the Gaza Hamas chief who masterminded the Oct. 7 massacre assured, “We have the Israelis right where we want them.”
Ministers are to broaden the government’s definition of extremism as part of a crackdown on people and groups “undermining” Britain’s institutions and values.
Rishi Sunak has asked Michael Gove, the levelling up secretary, to update the government’s definition of extremism, which was first set out more than a decade ago. It defines extremism as “vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values” and is seen by the government as no longer being fit for purpose.
A new definition, which is still being finalised, is expected to cover those whose actions more broadly “undermine” the country’s institutions or values.
Israel’s military operation in Gaza, led by the IDF, has been a strategic success against Hamas, significantly diminishing the terror group’s capabilities while prioritizing the minimization of civilian casualties, according to former commander of British forces in Afghanistan Col. Richard Kemp, who noted that international allies, including Arab states, tacitly support Israel’s actions, especially considering the broader context of Iran’s influence which threatens the world. In addition, he argued, Western states’ frequent accusations against Israel are merely “for the consumption of anti-Israel voters,” though doing so is both “irresponsible” and “very dangerous.”
A man has been arrested after allegedly bringing a nail gun to a demonstration in Thornhill on Sunday, police say.
York Regional Police (YRP) said they attended the demonstration, taking place near several synagogues on Clarke Avenue West, at around 9 a.m.
According to those present, the demonstration was organized in protest of a real estate event hosted by the Home In Israel Real Estate Group.

Just as the Brits chose to fight Hitler, so it must choose to fight his heirs.
If anyone had doubts as to the seriousness of the threat to the West and its heritage of political freedom, what happened this last week in the “Mother of Parliaments” should be enough to dispel them.
When Pim Fortuyn was assassinated two decades ago in Holland, largely because of his opposition to multiculturalism, most shrugged it off as unimportant. When Islamists went on a rampage of murder after a Parisian satirical magazine published a satirical cartoon that offended many Muslims’ sensibility, that seemed like an isolated incident and why stir up trouble anyway? We wrote off concerns about radical political Islamism as racist, xenophobic, whatever, when they spawned political reactions in Switzerland, Sweden, and Hungary.
Muslims represent about 6.7% of the population in England. In Canada about 4.7%. Both figures are based on 2021 census data.
The hard truth is that for millennia, the land of Israel, whether occupied by Jacob’s tribes or others, has been the domain of countless generations of Israelites. The vast majority of Israel’s citizens, and many Jews in the diaspora, understand their rights to retain their homeland after escaping 400 years of slavery in Egypt. At its core, the debate over this tiny area of land is founded on three primary factors: spiritual, national, and political. In the result, the conviction of the majority populace is that not one square inch of the current boundaries of Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) can belong to anyone who might harm them again, although people of peace are always graciously allowed to reside among them.
An Orthodox Jewish man was stabbed in a suspected antisemitic hate crime in the Selnau area of Zurich, Switzerland shortly after Shabbat ended on Saturday evening, according to the Zurich canton police.
A 15-year-old Swiss assailant stabbed a 50-year-old Orthodox Jew, critically wounding him. The wounded man was hospitalized, and the assailant was arrested at the scene of the alleged crime. Police had come to the scene after initial reports that there was an argument between several people.

Our police are so lame, she was released after the Cops turtled.
Protester apprehended moments after allegedly being spat on by pro-Israel counter protester.
She goes limp and police carry her away.
Other protesters intervene to demand her release. They form a barrier around her once she is extricated, chanting:

When Aaron Bushnell, an Antifa member and Air Force Airman, set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C., Hamas supporters in this country made him into a martyr.
Cornel West praised Bushnell’s “extraordinary courage and commitment”, Roger Waters celebrated him as an “All-American Hero” and the media emphasized his military role.
In reality, Aaron Bushnell was a member of radical anarchist groups on social media, he wanted to leave the Air Force and cheered the killings of members of the U.S. military.
The negotiations for a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal were near collapse, Israeli media reported on Sunday, after Hamas refused to provide information on the status of the remaining hostages in the Strip.
Representative from Hamas, Qatar, and the US have arrived in Cairo, Egypt, for a renewed round of hostage negotiations. The Israeli delegation is thus far absent, with a KAN News report quoting an official as saying that the delegation “will not leave until a response from Hamas is received.”
The loud protesters who chanted “there is only one solution, intifada revolution” — and even attempted to injure a federal cabinet minister — at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) Saturday night must feel like they’re in charge.
Just like that, there would be no gala dinner for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, inside the art gallery. Outside, cabinet minister Ahmed Hussen, who represents a Toronto riding, had something thrown at him twice by Pro-Hamas protesters as he unsuccessfully attempted to enter.
They eat their own, at roughly the 18 second mark one of the protesters lobs something at Hussen’s head.

It’s evident the TPS have been told “hands off” and will only pursue Hamas miscreants if a significant public outcry occurs.
I doubt tossing garbage at Hussen qualifies for investigation. Some crimes are best left unsolved.
Meanwhile in Thornhill.
Quite a scene developing outside a Thornhill synagogue today. Mayor @StevenDelDuca has called for calm. @YRP on the scene — just hours after Pro-Hamas protesters shut down @JustinTrudeau @GiorgiaMeloni event at the @agotoronto pic.twitter.com/zzGpS7EEZf
