“Oct 7 2023”

As the war in Gaza enters its third month, the short-attention span syndrome that characterizes our age swings in full gear to reduce it to a version of background noise. You might have noticed that the war is bowing out of front pages and dropped down several slots in TV news bulletins.

Even more interestingly we are beginning to hear growing chatter about the day-after of this tragic conflict, with the assumption that the actual fighting is heading for a close as the subtext.

Pressure mounts on Canada to support South Africa’s legal battle for ceasefire in Gaza

A new legal battle will be waged later this week in the World Court to impose a ceasefire more than three months after Hamas’ attack on southern Israel killed innocent civilians, triggering a brutal war in Gaza where Israel(opens in a new tab) vowed to eradicate Hamas militants.

South Africa is accusing Israel of violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention and is seeking an urgent order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to immediately halt what it characterizes as “genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in Gaza.”

The goal is to have Israel labeled a genocidal state, the original CTV weasel headline to the article is in bold above.

It goes without saying that the word “genocide” has a special sound to the people of Israel. Yet today the nation that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust finds itself accused of this ultimate crime against humanity.

Protesters marching against the Israeli military assault in Gaza set fire to Star of David flags and chant “we charge you with genocide.” Activists in Toronto plastered an Indigo store with posters accusing its Jewish owner with “funding genocide.” Now the government of South Africa is going to the International Court of Justice with a claim that Israel is guilty of “genocidal” acts.

There have been assassinations, bombings and hijackings in five countries after the Hamas massacre. Events could spiral out of control

On the warm blue waters of the Strait of Hormuz, a few dozen Yemeni militiamen dressed in wetsuits and carrying Kalashnikovs hijack a British-owned, Japanese-operated ship. A Hamas leader is assassinated in a Beirut suburb. A drone drops an explosive on a US military base in Syria, and an American airstrike kills a militiaman in Baghdad. Hezbollah fires a mortar into farmland in northern Israel.

These might sound like disparate events but together they tell a different story.

Protesters at a Free Palestine demonstration clashed with police in London on Saturday.

Metropolitan Police officers attempted to break up the march held over the Israel-Gaza conflict as hundreds of people gathered at a drinking fountain in St James’s Park from noon.

A veteran medical professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) resigned his academic post citing the school administration’s indifference to campus antisemitism.

Over 200 medical students signed a petition following the 10/7 atrocities denouncing Israel as a “settler colonial state,” guilty of “collective punishment.” The public letter made no reference to Hamas nor the hundreds of Israeli civilians taken hostage by the Palestinian terror group. “UBC’s declared support for decolonization and practices of equity, diversity and inclusion ring hollow in light of this partisan approach,” the document, which was also signed by over 100 faculty members across the university, argued in late October.

The Israeli army says it has “completed the dismantling” of Hamas’s command structure in the northern Gaza Strip.

Army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters that Palestinian militants are now operating in the area only sporadically and “without commanders”.

He said Israel had killed around 8,000 militants in north Gaza. The BBC cannot independently verify this number.

History teaches us that when anti-Semitism isn’t confronted, Jews won’t be the only victims.

They’ll be the first victims, but the hatred will metastasize and spread to others.

Goldstein is correct historically however in Canada anti-White hatred was made socially acceptable these past few years and this paved the way for today’s open anti-semitism.

After years of abusing whites abusing Jews is just 2nd nature in Trudeau’s Canada.

It was a belated awakening. For many American Jews, Oct. 7 uncovered the deep rot in the elite institutions they had invested in for decades, psychically and financially. A recent poll found that 73% of Jewish students experienced or witnessed antisemitic incidents since the beginning of this academic school year, a 22-fold increase over the year before. Jewish students have been punched, spat upon, assaulted with sticks, shouted at, and corralled by students in kaffiyehs.

But it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that the DEI regime has fostered the flourishing of campus antisemitism under the Palestinian banner. Having established Jews as members of the “oppressor” class and defined “justice” as the dismantling of this class, the officially sanctioned ideology has given license to the Palestinian vanguard to demand fulfillment of the progressive promise, “by any means necessary,” while turning Jewish students into piñatas.

At a Saturday night rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, organizers screened a testimony from released hostage Agam Goldstein-Almog, who spent 51 days hostage in Gaza and was released from Hamas captivity as part of a prisoner swap.

“My father stood at the entrance to the bomb shelter with a board from my sister’s bed,” she recalled. “They came in and shot him right away. He screamed, ‘No no no’ and we were sitting huddled in the corner of the room. They brought us out, we went over my father, we saw him lying with his hands up.”
