“Oct 7 2023”

A Toronto man has been charged with public incitement of hatred after police allege he held a “terrorist flag” during a demonstration last weekend.

Police say the 41-year-old man allegedly waved a flag of “an organization listed as a terrorist group by Public Safety Canada” while marching through the city’s downtown on Sunday.

Speaking at a Toronto Police Services Board meeting Thursday, police Chief Myron Demkiw called the charge “unprecedented,” noting the “very high threshold” to charge anyone with a hate propaganda offence.

I asked a TPS officer one Al Quds Day if waving the Hezbollah flag met the hate crime threshhold. He responded it did not as it was a matter of “Free Speech.”

The United States and Britain carried out a series of air strikes on military locations belonging to Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen early Friday in response to the militant group’s ongoing attacks on vessels traveling through the Red Sea.

Fox News is told there were attacks on more than a dozen Houthi targets by air, surface, and subsurface platforms.

The Biden administration is evidently continuing to pretend that Qatar, the Gulf state that funds and sponsors Hamas, is an honest broker in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Qatar, in addition to the billions of dollars it has been pouring on Hamas, is still hosting several leaders of Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist terror group, whose members, on October 7, 2023, beheaded, raped, tortured, burned alive more than 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped hundreds more.

Not only is Qatar far from being a neutral mediator, it is massively biased in favor of Hamas and other Islamist terror groups, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria.

Israel’s plan to “destroy” Gaza comes from “the highest level of state”, the UN’s top court has heard.

The claims were made by South African lawyers as it presented its case accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice.

South Africa also called on the court to order Israel to cease military operations in Gaza.

Israel – which will present its defence on Friday – has vehemently rejected the accusations as “baseless”.

Destroy Gaza? Sounds like a good idea.

Toronto police are banning protests, rallies and demonstrations on an Avenue Road highway overpass following a series of high-profile incidents, police Chief Myron Demkiw says.

“People can expect to be arrested, if necessary,” Demkiw said during a Toronto Police Services Board meeting on Thursday.

“Activities that take place on the Avenue Road overpass in the surrounding areas will be investigated with a criminal lens.”

Liberal members of Parliament are divided about the position Canada should take on South Africa’s push to have Israel prosecuted for genocide for its war in Gaza, as the Trudeau government stays mum.

The International Court of Justice will start hearing a case Thursday in which South Africa argues that Israel’s widespread bombardment of Gaza and siege on the Palestinians living there “are genocidal in character.”

I have long maintained that “Official Support” for Israel by the LPC was an inch deep.

OTTAWA – Jewish groups in Ontario are calling on the province to end hateful and intimidating protests they say are targeting Toronto’s largest Jewish neighbourhoods.

An appeal spearheaded by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) is asking Queen’s Park and Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey to take action, urging politicians at all levels to end the protests before somebody gets hurt, or worse.

Not gonna happen.

An Israeli judge who survived the Holocaust has been sent to represent his country in a UN court against claims it is committing genocide against Palestinians in the war in Gaza.

Aharon Barak, 87, who was smuggled out of a ghetto in a potato sack in 1944 and went on to lead Israel’s supreme court, is heading a delegation that will arrive to begin court proceedings on Thursday morning.

The UN’s International Court of Justice (ICJ), is being asked to rule on whether to open a full case on South Africa’s claim that the country intends to commit genocide in Gaza.

The cops delivering the coffee was the image that went ‘round the world. But long before members of the Toronto Police Department handed over the Tim Hortons goodies to pro-Palestinian protesters who have been targeting a highway overpass adjacent to a neighbourhood with a significant Jewish population, many Canadian Jews have felt unsettled, even unsafe.

To be clear, the officers did not purchase the coffee, but dropped it off on behalf of protest supporters who were not allowed on the overpass. Still, it felt like a scalding metaphor.

A week after the horrors of October 7, when the Biden administration first convinced Israel to open up the siege of Gaza and allow in international aid, it promised Hamas would not get it.

“If Hamas in any way blocks humanitarian assistance from reaching civilians, including by seizing the aid itself, we’ll be the first to condemn it. And we will work to prevent it from happening again,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken pledged.

The problem with such a promise was obvious once Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer struggled to explain to CNN how it would stop Hamas from taking the aid.
