John Ivison: Disturbing new details about why TMU redacted the report into its institutional campus antisemitism

Earlier this month, I wrote that universities across the country are finally getting together to address the epidemic of antisemitism that has broken out on campuses across the country.

I referred to a review of antisemitic incidents at Toronto Metropolitan University undertaken by retired justice Mary Lou Benotto and delivered to TMU last August. At the time, I said pages from the report were redacted on privacy grounds (several students were charged after the protests under review).

Mother referred to Prevent for ‘over-identifying with Israel’

Mother referred to Prevent for ‘over-identifying with Israel’

When Holly Passmore heard a knock at her front door at about 11am on July 4 last year, she assumed it was an Amazon delivery.

Instead, the 44-year-old mother-of-two from County Durham found two plain-clothes police officers on her doorstep wanting to know why she had recently visited Israel.

“They said it was a safeguarding matter,” recalled Ms Passmore, who cares for her nine-year-old son, Rex, who has severe autism, while studying for a master’s degree.


The UK is a nut house.

The global anti-Israel group Palestine Action has been listed as a terrorist group in the U.K and the U.S. for attempting to coerce governments by attacking businesses and defence infrastructure and for promoting violent terrorist acts. Since April, its Canadian branch has claimed responsibility for attacking four warehouses here. What is the federal government waiting for?

Letters reveal Hamas leader’s son, 10, dreamed of shooting Jews

Letters reveal Hamas leader’s son, 10, dreamed of shooting Jews

The 10-year-old son of Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, wrote about killing Jewish people in letters to his father.

Ibrahim Sinwar drew pictures of tanks and rifles and wrote that he wanted to “pick up a Kalashnikov and shoot Jews”.

The letters were discovered shortly after Sinwar’s death in October 2024, Israeli media reported at the time, but the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has now shared the contents with The Telegraph. Two experts said they appeared to be genuine.

GOLDSTEIN: Weasel words led to Canada’s recognition of Palestine

GOLDSTEIN: Weasel words led to Canada’s recognition of Palestine

It now seems clear that Prime Minister Mark Carney misled Canadians when he said, in recognizing the Palestinian state on July 30, 2025, that Canada’s support was “predicated on the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to much-needed reforms.”

Carney is as big if not a bigger liar than Trudeau. Watch what he does not what he says.

What is Greta up to at the French school riots?

The ‘omnicause’ is often loosely defined as the animating spirit of woke activism. It is ‘Free Palestine’, the ‘climate emergency’, ‘trans rights’ and Black Lives Matter rolled into a single, unified moral crusade. If it has a face, then it’s surely that of the perennial protester Greta Thunberg, who has now lent her star power to the student rioters in France. In recent days, videos have emerged of her mingling with students in the Parisian neighbourhood of Seine-Saint-Denis.

Belleville synagogue shooter did not have gun licence, source says

Belleville synagogue shooter did not have gun licence, source says

The ex-soldier who tried to carry out a mass shooting at a synagogue in Belleville, Ont., last month did not have a firearms licence at the time of the attack, according to a police source with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Sean Ward, a former Canadian Armed Forces corporal, died after a shootout with police outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue on the evening of Sept. 20, in what investigators have called a hate-motivated attack against the Jewish community. While worshippers gathered inside for Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Mr. Ward ambushed a police officer who was parked outside to provide security, sparking a violent gun battle before he was shot and killed.

Revealed: BBC reporter’s history of glorifying murder of Jews

A BBC Arabic reporter who wrongly described terrorists killed in Gaza as “journalists” has a history of glorifying the murder of Jewish people, The Telegraph can disclose.

Layla Bashar al-Kloub has described Israel’s Jewish population as “terrorists” and asked Allah to “strengthen” a Palestinian TV presenter who had been labelled a Holocaust denier.

She has also described Palestinians who have been killed after murdering Israelis as “martyrs”.

Canadian taxpayers fund vile pro-October 7 poet who wrote: ‘Praise the paragliders… their triumphant descension’

Canadian taxpayers fund vile pro-October 7 poet who wrote: ‘Praise the paragliders… their triumphant descension’

A Canadian literary journal funded by taxpayers published a poem that suggested support for the October 7 attacks and praised Hamas paragliders for ‘their triumphant descension’ on Israel.

The piece titled ‘FLOOD’ by Toronto poet Bahar Orang appeared in a new edition of online journal The Ex-Puritan.

‘Praise the paragliders, their gentle ascension, their unbroken morning, and of course their triumphant descension, their feet touching down,’ Orang wrote.


Canada is a dumpster fire.

Inside New York’s October 7 Pro-Intifada Protests

Inside New York’s October 7 Pro-Intifada Protests

Typically, an anniversary commemorates a past event that occurred on that day. In the case of heinous episodes, the victims are remembered and the story is retold. Few anniversaries, if any, are used to indict the victims of the crime itself.

But on October 7, 2026, that’s exactly what I saw happening in New York. At protests across the city, participants dressed up as terrorists, chanted for Hamas, and menaced counterprotesters. The day was nothing resembling a peaceful protest and was more akin to a guerilla mob teetering on violence.

Majority of antisemitic assaults now come from the Left

Majority of antisemitic assaults now come from the Left

Three years ago, Hamas murdered, raped and slashed its way into Israel, abducting innocent victims and bringing a bloody, self-destructive war to Gaza. This, in turn, has unleashed a wave of antisemitism in the West. While some fear a homegrown antisemitic Right, personified by Tucker Carlson’s Hitler apologetics, data shows it is the Left that currently poses a far greater threat to American Jews.

Iran Fueling Palestinian Jihad, Preventing Terrorists’ Disarmament

Iran Fueling Palestinian Jihad, Preventing Terrorists’ Disarmament

Three years after the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the second-largest terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, is making one thing clear: it has no intention of abandoning its armed struggle against Israel.

On the contrary, the Iran-backed terrorist organization is reaffirming its commitment to jihad (holy war), armed resistance, and the destruction of what it calls the “Zionist project.”

Before Israel Buried Its Dead, Canada’s October 8 Alliance of Leftists, Islamists, Unions and Climate Groups Was Already in the Streets

Before Israel Buried Its Dead, Canada’s October 8 Alliance of Leftists, Islamists, Unions and Climate Groups Was Already in the Streets

The day after the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacres in southern Israel, hundreds of anti-Israel demonstrations were held around the globe. Israel had not even buried its dead, Hamas terrorists were still loose in Israel, and the counterattack had not begun. Yet many of the protests displayed placards with identical slogans, calling to end the “genocide” of Palestinians and for a ceasefire.

Dozens of October 8 demonstrations were held in Canada, including in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Mississauga, Windsor, St. John’s, Halifax, Winnipeg, and even Whitehorse in Yukon.


Far better organized than anything I had seen in the past.
