A fallen Israeli soldier’s father claimed that after his 19-year-old son was killed, Hamas terrorists tried to sell his decapitated head for $10,000 in Gaza.
David Tahar, father of former Israel Defense Forces Sgt. Adir Tahar, said Hamas abused the body of his son after he was killed during the terrorists’ Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticized Benjamin Netanyahu’s position on Palestinian statehood after the Israeli prime minister claimed in a nationally-televised news conference that the so-called “two-state solution” is dead.
“I was not surprised to hear Prime Minister Netanyahu share that. That has long been his position,” Trudeau said Thursday when asked about the comments at a press conference in Iqaluit.
“He and I had, just a few weeks ago, an extensive conversation on exactly this topic and others
I doubt Netanyahu thinks about Junior at all.
People who say that men give birth also say that Israel is the villain because these positions emanate from the same aim: the destruction of Western civilization.
If you say “men give birth,” we all know your position on Hamas.
Now, why is that? Why, if a person says “men give birth” or says that men who say they are women should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, can we be virtually certain that the person sides with Hamas in its war to eradicate Israel?
Theoretically, the two claims—that men as well as women give birth and that Israel is the villain in its war against Hamas—have absolutely no connection.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday rejected U.S. calls to scale back Israel’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip or take steps toward the establishment of a Palestinian state after the war, drawing an immediate scolding from the White House.
The tense back and forth reflected what has become a wide rift between the two allies over the scope of Israel’s war and its plans for the future of the beleaguered territory.
“We obviously see it differently,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby said.
OTTAWA – Israel’s envoy to Canada is joining calls for the federal Liberals to clearly state Ottawa’s position as the International Court of Justice considers an allegation of genocide against Israel.
Iddo Moed says Canada should “leave no room for misinterpretation” on its stance, noting that many of Canada’s allies and peers have stated a clear position on the case.
The highest court of the United Nations held two days of public hearings last week as South Africa argued that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
As Iran and its proxies in the Middle East are continuing the jihad (holy war) to murder Jews and eliminate Israel, the Biden administration has not abandoned their dream of creating a Palestinian terror state on Israel’s doorstep. The last thing the Middle East needs is another Iran-dominated terror state that would destabilize security and stability and pose an existential threat to Israel.
In videos from 7 October, the body of a young woman is lying face down in the back of a pickup truck, stripped to her underwear, one leg bent at an unnatural angle. One of the men sitting next to her pulls her long hair as armed men around him shout praises to God.
Footage of the lifeless corpse of Shani Louk, a 22-year-old Israeli-German national being paraded around the streets of Gaza was some of the first to surface on 7 October, as the scale of the horror visited on sleeping families in kibbutzim neighbouring the strip and people partying at a nearby rave started to become clear.
The Trudeau government’s botched announcement on whether Canada supports South Africa’s argument before the world court that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, is just more proof that Canada under its current federal government is not a serious country.
144 Gazans on track to come to Canada, pending biometrics
Ottawa has processed visa applications for 144 people in the Gaza Strip, putting them on track to be reunited with extended family members in Canada — as long as they can make it across the border for biometric screening and final approval.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada opened a program to offer temporary visas to as many as 1,000 people in the besieged Palestinian territory, if their relatives can support them in Canada.

Just a reminder to readers: The Falafel King is very litigious. You’ll find lots of words to accurately and safely describe him after listening to this frankly incredible interview without risking a libel suit.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada “believes in the work” of the International Court of Justice, but declined to say how his government would react if the court finds Israel is committing genocide.
South Africa has put a case before the ICJ accusing Israel’s military actions in Gaza of being a genocide. Israel launched an invasion in the territory following the Oct. 7 attacks where Hamas fighters invaded Israel killing 1,200 people and taking another nearly 250 hostages.
Paramount Foods was in damage control following reaction Monday to a now-deleted tweet from founder Mohamad Fakih, suggesting he doesn’t “need” money from someone who “supports baby killers.”
The member of the Order of Canada and CEO of Paramount, which operates dozens of restaurants and has an arena in Mississauga named after the company, made the controversial comments in X posts. He was responding to a poster named Eugene who wrote, “I’ll never set foot in Paramount Foods ever again” and “terrorist sympathizers don’t deserve my business.”

We thought we were at home in America, but no such luck.
This is a tough time for American Jews. Antisemitism has erupted to an unprecedented extent. We thought we were at home in America, but no such luck.
A few months ago, following the Oct. 7 massacre, a friend who is a major donor to Jewish, Israeli and American organizations said to me that Jews might have to leave America, just as we have left—willingly or unwillingly—many countries in the past. Another friend told me that he and all of his liberal friends are being forced to rethink what it means to be a liberal Jew in America.
South Africa’s government defends chants of ‘Kill the farmer!’ but insists that Israel is committing ‘genocide’ in Gaza.
At a massive Johannesburg rally in July 2023, Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party, grabbed the microphone and began to chant. “Kill the Boer! The farmer!” he bellowed. The crowd of 100,000 joined in the song, an old “anti-apartheid” ditty titled “Kill the Boer,” a reference to the white Afrikaner population of South Africa who are the descendants of Dutch settlers centuries ago. Progressive activists and academics immediately insisted that the song, in which the refrain “shoot the Boer” appears 20 times, should not be taken “literally”—although the crowd did not appear to be aware of this as they pointed their fingers in the air like guns for each chorus.
