US President Donald J. Trump’s plan for ending the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip is not a “peace plan.” In the eyes of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, the plan is nothing but another temporary ceasefire, not different than previous ones reached between Israel and Hamas over the past two decades.
It is a mistake even to call it a “peace plan”: Hamas has not yet abandoned its stated goal of destroying Israel and replacing it with an Islamist state.
The Gaza war mostly behind him – or perhaps not – Benjamin Netanyahu must soon face a volatile Israeli electorate.
The country will go to the polls by next fall, assuming his thin coalition government can pass a budget by spring.
Delegations from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey met in Cairo on November 25 to discuss implementation of the second phase of US President Donald J. Trump’s plan for ending the war in the Gaza Strip, which erupted with the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.
The “progressive” world is defined by its unchallengeable adherence to two causes: Arab Palestinianism and international human-rights law. The two are symbiotically linked.
“Progressives” believe that these stand for conscience, morality and the betterment of the human race. In fact, both of them have destroyed the West’s moral compass altogether.
A controversial exhibit, Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present, is coming to the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in June, and at least one Globe and Mail columnists thinks concerned Jews are overreacting — except they aren’t.
In a recent op-ed, Globe columnist Marsha Lederman openly mocked the concerns of several Jewish organizations, which argued that the exhibit “will lack balanced scholarly research and will ignore key issues of the historical and current geopolitical reality,” or become “tool, or dupe, of only one side of the story,” thereby erasing “Jewish voices.”
Hamas was not the only terror group that attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. Several other Palestinian armed groups also took part in the assault, which resulted in the murder of 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals, the wounding of thousands, and the kidnapping of 251 people to the Gaza Strip.
Some Middle East experts and political analysts tend to forget that Hamas is not the only terror group operating inside the Gaza Strip. Among the other groups: Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Popular Resistance Committees, Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (affiliated with the Fatah faction headed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas), Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, and Palestinian Freedom Movement. Some of these groups were also involved in kidnapping and holding many of the Israeli and foreign hostages in the Gaza Strip.
A small reminder: Jews were expelled from England during the decade of 1290; from France in the 1390s; from Spain in the 1490s; from Sicily in the late 1400s; from Portugal in the 1500s; Ukraine in the 1640s; Russia in the 1880s; Germany in the 1930s; and various Arab countries in the 1940s to 1960s.
Now, in the decade of 2020, when “Statistical data shows the doubling and trebling of anti-Semitic incidents on America’s streets,” where are Jews to go? The only place that welcomes them with open arms is their ancestral home of Israel. Jews from anywhere in the world now have the absolute right of return to Israel, at state expense.
Within moments of entering a nondescript building on Elm Street in downtown Toronto, Jonathan Karten understood that he was in a very dangerous place.
On the afternoon of Nov. 5, Karten arrived at the address with a friend, Shoshanah OFlaherty. They were met on the street by a young representative from Students Supporting Israel (SSI), a campus group at nearby Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). SSI had booked a room at the university for the meeting, but the administration cancelled at the last minute, leaving them scrambling to find an alternate space.

Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories have infested British universities.
An easy definition of anti-Semitism is treating Jews as though they are different to other people, whether that is holding them to different standards or discriminating against them. The same is true of the way Israel is treated. If you hold the one Jewish country in the world to different standards than other countries, or if you deny the Jewish people the right of self-determination, then you are anti-Semitic.
Violence at a Toronto speaking event has sparked calls for more scrutiny on Israeli soldiers entering Canada, with some saying they should be barred entry or investigated for potential participation in war crimes related to the Israel-Hamas war.
Police arrested and charged six protesters after an event organized by a Toronto Metropolitan University student group Students Supporting Israel (SSI) this month that featured Israel Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers as speakers.
While SSI blamed protesters for a chaotic scene that included screaming and a broken glass door – protesters can be seen on video banging on the venue’s front doors as they are being held off by police — clips shared by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) Toronto show one of the IDF soldiers grabbing and shoving protesters.
Whether it’s not being able to play O Canada on a speaker, drive a city vehicle without hinderance through protesters or have a basketball net at your house, it seems Toronto is on a ‘No Fun Police’ binge…
They were just doing their job, people are sick of these malcontents littering our streets.

A newly announced permanent exhibit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg is being met with heightened concern from Jewish groups.
“The Museum has allowed itself to become the tool, or dupe, of only one side of the story and thereby betrays its duty as a national institution to provide a common and inclusive meeting and educational space on the matter of human rights,” Winnipeg lawyer, businessman and trustee at the Asper Foundation, David Asper, told National Post in an email. His family led the museum’s founding in 2014.

Julianna Smith, a Concordia Student Union staffer, has been barred indefinitely from all university property for her alleged involvement in protest activities that took place on Oct. 6. On Oct. 7, the two-year anniversary of the terrorist attack in Israel, Concordia became the only university in the world to close out of concern that it could not protect its campus community. And it seems that Concordia’s own student union and at least one of its associations may be at least partially responsible.
Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and other Palestinian terror groups have rejected US-backed United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted on November 17, which welcomes the establishment of a “Board of Peace” and a temporary “International Stabilization Force” in the Gaza Strip. The resolution is based on US President Donald J. Trump’s 20-point peace plan for ending the war in the Gaza Strip, which erupted in response to the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led invasion of Israel.
