The truth about the Houthis

They are not anti-Imperialist rebels – they are a vicious and reactionary Islamist cult.

Over the past few months, Yemen’s Houthi rebels have been attacking container ships and energy tankers in the Red Sea. The Houthis say that these attacks are retaliation for Israel’s incursion into Gaza. This has delighted anti-Israel activists in the West, who have taken to the streets with a new chant: ‘Yemen, Yemen make us proud, turn another ship around.’

It’s clear that those Western leftists currently cheering on the Houthis know very little about this regressive movement.

Pro-Hamas protesters disrupt event in Toronto involving leaders of Canada and Italy

A dinner hosted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in honour of his Italian counterpart had to be cancelled this evening after pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked entrances to the venue where it was set to take place.

Justin Trudeau’s office says neither he nor Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Miloni were able to enter the Art Gallery of Ontario, which went into lockdown over the protests.

Hundreds of demonstrators chanted Trudeau was funding a genocide and criticized the federal government’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

Ha Ha!

Barbara Kay: Young Jews must be hardened against the torment they face in university

My rhetorical writing standards and style were formed in the 1950s and ’60s, which was a time and place like no other for Jewish self-expression in the diaspora.

Israel was cool, Jewish comedians were cool and overt antisemitism was very uncool. Jews didn’t need safe spaces on campus, because the entire campus was a safe space for everyone. Jews were finally insiders here — and our children even more so. We could speak our minds in untrammeled freedom.

Biden Administration Not Stopping Iran, Russia, China, the Houthis

In recent months, the Red Sea has become a battleground for attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis of Yemen, with the Biden administration facing mounting criticism for its failure to quell the escalating violence. As the Houthi group continues to build its weapons stockpile in Yemen, supported by the Iranian regime, the urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. It is critical that the United States reevaluate its military strategy to effectively address this growing threat.

Senior US official: ‘Israelis agreed to deal, ball is in Hamas’s court’

US Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday will meet with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz, a White House official told Reuters.

A senior figure in the American government said on Saturday evening that Israel had agreed to a deal wherein the hostages held by Hamas would be released and a ceasefire would be implemented.

“In order to address the humanitarian needs of the population in Gaza to the necessary extent, there needs to be a ceasefire,” the official said. “The way to a ceasefire at the moment is to reach a deal for the release of the captives.

Antisemitic teens terrorizing Jewish teacher with Hitler jabs, death threats as NYC school refuses to discipline them: ‘I live in fear’: lawsuit

The kids are all reich.

A Brooklyn high school has become a haven for Hitler-loving hooligans who terrorize Jewish teachers and classmates, The Post has learned.

On Oct. 26, just three weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis, 40 to 50 teens marched through Origins HS in Sheepshead Bay waving a Palestinian flag and chanting “Death to Israel!” and “Kill the Jews!” staffers said.

Palestinians’ Musical Chairs: Replacing One Mohammed with Another Mohammed

On February 26, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh announced his resignation, paving the way for the formation of a new Palestinian government. The resignation came in response to pressure from the US administration on the Palestinian leadership to “revitalize” the Palestinian Authority (PA) so that it could assume control over the Gaza Strip after Hamas is removed from power.

Mount Sinai Hospital climber says he’ll pause his ascents, denies antisemitic motives

The man who climbed up Mount Sinai Hospital, sparking outrage, accusations of antisemitism and a police investigation, has denied targeting the site due to its connections to the Jewish community, while adding that he won’t be climbing buildings again anytime soon.

In a statement to the Star, the man, who dresses up in a Spider-Man costume during pro-Palestinian protests, said he had no idea what building he was climbing in the incident last month. The statement was relayed to the Star by protest organizers.

Double standard: Islamophobia and Jew-hatred

“Islamophobia” seems to be everywhere these days – or at least accusations of it. What does it mean?

Too often it leads to silencing people who have questions about Islam and its teachings. I don’t know of any laws preventing people from criticizing or questioning Christianity or Judaism – in Judaism it seems that what is said is based on context!

… Today, in 2024, there seems to be a double standard in Toronto. Although Brazau was charged because language can be a weapon, those calling for the extermination of Israel and the Jews are allowed to speak whatever they want and protest anywhere – without fear. The October, 2023 barbaric massacre of Jews in Israel by Muslims from Gaza led to full-throated Muslim protests.

Trudeau’s new hate crime legislation is a thinly disguised effort to implement sharia law in Canada.

Praise of Bushnell’s self-immolation puts US closer to suicide bombings

The American radical left’s glorification of the self-immolation of US airman Aaron Bushnell in front of Israel’s Washington, DC embassy on Sunday is another step toward widespread acts of political violence in America.

Bushnell approached the embassy in his uniform, doused himself in a flammable liquid, and before setting himself alight and mortally wounding himself, gave a speech.

Is the Gaza aid checkpoint stampede the moment US patience runs out?

Binyamin Netanyahu is facing his most difficult set of dilemmas since the war with Hamas in Gaza began on October 7.

The circumstances of the deaths of more than 100 Palestinian civilians on the coastal road by Gaza City on Thursday morning will continue to be hotly debated, with each side sticking to its narrative.

The Palestinians claim that a stampede was caused by Israeli troops firing into a crowd gathering around a supply convoy. Israel claims not to have been involved in the stampede. But the facts remain that a large number of civilians queuing for food were killed in an area the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) controls and that Israel bears a responsibility for their deaths.

Will Labour introduce a blasphemy law?

Last night, it was reported that the police were “assessing” a report of hate speech made against Lee Anderson following his claim that “Islamists” had taken control of London and Sadiq Khan.

This is a concerning step, particularly because Labour has used the Anderson saga to divert the narrative away to the party’s adoption of the contested All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) definition of Islamophobia, which could become incorporated into law if it sweeps to power. According to this definition (also adopted by the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and the London Mayor’s office), Islamophobia is “rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness”.

Reinstated Maryland Hate-Crime Commissioner Continues to Post Inflammatory Anti-Israel Content

Maryland hate-crime commissioner Zainab Chaudry continues to post inflammatory anti-Israel rhetoric on social media after being suspended from the body, and subsequently reinstated, for comparing the Jewish state to Nazi Germany.

Chaudry, the Maryland director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), was temporarily suspended in November by the state’s Commission on Hate Crime Response after she made social-media posts dismissing reports of Hamas killing Israeli babies as “fake.”

Ten days after the 10/7 atrocities, Chaudry compared Israel to Nazi Germany: “That moment when you become what you hated most,” she posted beside graphics of Nazi flags at the Brandenburg Gate in 1936.

The terror of the right

The Oct. 7 atrocities produced a profound sense of disorientation for progressives because the Palestinian Arabs whose cause they had promoted as the acme of conscience and enlightenment turned out to be savages.

There’s a fixed belief in progressive circles that if only Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, were to be removed from office, there would be at least a sporting chance of peace in the Middle East.

On Monday night, in an appearance on an NBC show, U.S. President Joe Biden said that Israel must make peace with the Palestinian Arabs to survive. He warned that Israel’s “incredibly conservative government,” which includes the ultra-nationalist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and others, was “going to lose support from around the world. And that is not in Israel’s interest.”
