The former national director of the federal NDP says Jews are no longer feeling completely comfortable in the party, warning that this is a national problem for the New Democrats.
Nathan Rotman, who was also chief of staff to former Alberta premier Rachel Notley, made his remarks after former B.C. minister of postsecondary education Selina Robinson resigned from the province’s NDP caucus, citing antisemitism by some of her colleagues.
Members of the Jewish community expressed their growing anxiety after anti-Israel protesters picketed a Toronto-area synagogue with chants of “Go back to Europe” and burned an Israeli flag.
Rabbi Daniel Korobkin, the leader of the institution in Thornhill, said religious sites should be exempt from such demonstrations.
Meanwhile in Montreal …
How low can they go? Just watch the latest disgusting display from the anti-Israel mob in front of a synagogue in #Montreal as they threaten Jews by yelling "Am Yisrael chai [the people of Israel live] but not for that long motherf***er" and boasting that the hostages being held… pic.twitter.com/W6si48E0u6

Surreal to witness. The war is not just happening in Gaza but here in the GTA – all happening in a usually quiet and lawful Vaughan neighbourhood Thursday.
It was mayhem there and a glimpse into what anarchy across the country would look like. This was a powderkeg waiting to blow. While there were a few flare-ups, police managed to keep it from becoming a full explosion. But man, this was close.
What’s most striking when first meeting Philippe Lazzarini is that he is completely alone.
Sat in the dated lobby of Hotel Cornavin, a stone’s throw from Geneva’s central train station, the 60-year-old is fiddling on his phone, head down, glasses on, anonymous.
I look around for a press officer, the scourge of any good interview, but there seems to be none. His staff, Lazzarini soon says, are thousands of miles away – in Jordan, Gaza, and Madrid, his next destination after a whistle-stop trip to southern Switzerland.
Shai Davidai, an associate professor of business at Columbia University who has become a leading voice against antisemitism on college campuses, is the target of a university investigation that he believes is politically motivated, he told National Review Friday.
Police north of Toronto say the man who allegedly brought a nail gun to a pro-Palestinian protest outside of a synagogue in Thornhill, Ont. and fired it last weekend was partly motivated by hate.
It’s alleged that Ilan-Reuben Abramov, 27, of Vaughan, Ont. stopped his vehicle near demonstrators at Clark Avenue and South Promenade on the morning of March 3 and began yelling “hateful obscenities at them” and became “confrontational” with at least three of the protesters.
The Canadian government has confirmed it will restore funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen confirmed the move at a press conference Friday in Mississauga, Ont.
Canada suspended funding to UNRWA in January after Israel alleged 12 employees of the aid agency were involved in some capacity in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
What a sleazebag.
International mediators and world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, are hoping to secure a ceasefire deal between Israel and the Iran-backed Hamas terror group before the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which starts on March 10.
On March 5, Biden warned of potential problems without a ceasefire deal by Ramadan. “There’s got to be a ceasefire because Ramadan – if we get into circumstances where this continues to Ramadan, Israel and Jerusalem could be very, very dangerous,” he told reporters in Washington.
His Fraudulency Joe Biden is losing support in Hollywood among young Democrats who hate the Jews.
“People are pulling away — one million percent. I was with a bunch of young executives and producers, a group of very progressive people,” a top agent told the far-left Wrap. “The Israel issue – it’s shocking to me – but everyone under 30 at that table said they were not voting for Biden or had serious reservations.”
THORNHILL, Ont. — “Just stay away from me,” the middle-aged woman beside me said to a man with a keffiyeh wrapped tightly around his face. This man was aggressively pointing his finger at her, standing extremely close and screaming obscenities like “You’re a fucking coward. Because your own country hates you,” and “Are you Russian? Are you Polish?”
She eventually slid a can of pepper spray a few inches out of her pocket and gestured to him with it. She also gave a mini kick with her leg into the air in between them. “Stay away from me,” she said again. “You got pepper spray and you’re trying to end me … the whole world hates you,” he screamed.

A portrait of Lord Balfour at Trinity College has been destroyed by a pro-Palestine protestors.
Members of the group Palestine Action are seen spraying and slashing the historic painting hung at the University of Cambridge in a video posted on social media.
A woman wearing a blue navy down jacket and black leather backpack can be seen defacing the work with red paint before slicing the canvas with a sharp object.

A report examining the risk posed by a Calgary man who claimed to be a member of ISIS and appeared to be planning to kill gay people in the city was described by a judge as “troubling.”
Zakarya Hussein, 20, pleaded guilty in December to facilitating terrorist activity.
A sentencing hearing was supposed to take place Thursday but was delayed because a forensic assessment report was received by lawyers and the judge only in the last day or two.
Justice Harry Van Harten agreed to the adjournment but first noted the risk assessment conducted on Hussein by a psychiatrist was “kind of troubling.”
The evidence is in their own poorly fabricated figures
The number of civilian casualties in Gaza has been at the center of international attention since the start of the war. The main source for the data has been the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, which now claims more than 30,000 dead, the majority of which it says are children and women. Recently, the Biden administration lent legitimacy to Hamas’ figure. When asked at a House Armed Services Committee hearing last week how many Palestinian women and children have been killed since Oct. 7, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the number was “over 25,000.” The Pentagon quickly clarified that the secretary “was citing an estimate from the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry.” President Biden himself had earlier cited this figure, asserting that “too many, too many of the over 27,000 Palestinians killed in this conflict have been innocent civilians and children, including thousands of children.” The White House also explained that the president “was referring to publicly available data about the total number of casualties.”
Here’s the problem with this data: The numbers are not real. That much is obvious to anyone who understands how naturally occurring numbers work. The casualties are not overwhelmingly women and children, and the majority may be Hamas fighters.

Pro-Palestinian protests that include expressions of hatred or harassing behaviour cross a line, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday.
Trudeau told a press conference in Toronto that he’s heard from too many members of Canada’s Jewish community who have seen protests at synagogues and community centres and who now feel unsafe.
Nobody can be indifferent to the suffering in the Gaza Strip during the Israel-Hamas war, and Canadians have a right to protest and make their anger heard, he said.
We are witnessing in our streets Muslims and Jews fighting for world view supremacy.
This is the inevitable tribal warfare that results from the poisons of multiculturalism and bad immigration policy.
Trudeau lied when he stated “Hateful or harassing behavior, particularly against neighbours, is not what we do here in Canada.”
In fact ‘hateful or harassing behavior, particularly against neighbours,‘ is built into Canadian society and the Trudeau government has played a large role in making that happen.
The ideologies of hate, DEI and CRT, have been institutionalized in Canada.
Few spoke up against it prior to the Hamas-Israel war because the publicly accepted target was White people.
The brazen antisemitism we now witness was made possible by the state endorsed anti-White racism embraced by our governing class and institutions.
That isn’t to claim that anti-White racism historically preceded antisemitism only that in our current Canadian context Progressives and their Islamist allies saw what they could get away with against Whites and decided to go for broke against the Jews.
Everyone in Canada knows you can burn our churches assault our nation, assault our heritage and paint us as the source of the world’s woes because the divide and conquer goal of identity politics has worked it’s evil magic.
If we dare speak up against this progressive racism you can call us genocide promoting white supremacists without fear of repercussion because even our schools and human rights commissions claim only Whites can be racist.
If Bill C-63 is passed we will be jailed for defending ourselves.
Isn’t it grand being citizens of a Post-National state?
When it comes to the conflict in Gaza it is of no surprise whatsoever that there is vast disagreement around the world, as well as in Canada, on what is going on, who is responsible for the tragic deaths, and what we as a global community need to do about it.
