Sabrina Maddeaux: Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack wasn’t only an antisemitic slaughter, it was a mass femicide

Torturing women to death while raping them is not resistance, nor a political statement. It is evil you can’t negotiate with

“Grandma, how did mom die?”

In a disturbing new report on the sadistic sexual violence inflicted by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, Eti Bracha shares the question her seven-year-old grandson, Refael, asked several weeks ago. It’s a question too many children are left asking after their parents were slaughtered by Hamas.

Nova music festival survivor reunites with man who saved her life as she admits she’s safer in Israel than US

A Jewish New Yorker who survived Hamas’ attack on the Nova Music Festival reunited with the man who saved her life — but admits she’s still nervous in the US.

Natalie Sanandaji, 28, of Long Island, returned to Israel for the first time last week since surviving the Oct. 7 massacre to reunite with Israeli hero Moshe Sati.

Sati, alongside his son, saved more than 100 festival-goers by driving into the terrorist attack and carting people out of the festival grounds by the truck-full more than 10 times.

In Canada, What Kind of Screening Will Be Done of New Arrivals From Gaza?

Meet your new neighbors.

What kind of screening of these Gazans will be done? Will those applying for visas to be admitted to Canada be asked, for example, about their view of the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7? Of course, they will claim to be just as horrified as anyone else. But we have the results of a Palestinian opinion poll conducted in December, in which 82% of Gazans expressed their support for the October 7 attacks (the percentage was even higher in the West Bank, where 85% of the Palestinians supported those attacks).

New Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn faces backlash for ‘openly genocidal’ phrase on menu

A newly opened Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn has sparked ire with its menus that include the antisemitic phrase “From the river to the sea” — with locals bashing its owners for being “openly genocidal.”

Ayat owners Abdul Elenani and Ayat Masoud opened their third location earlier this month in Ditmas Park, where menus feature the phrase, “From river to sea” to label its seafood section as well as a crying Palestinian woman with the words “Down with the occupation.”

‘Screams Without Words’: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7

At first, she was known simply as “the woman in the black dress.”

In a grainy video, you can see her, lying on her back, dress torn, legs spread, vagina exposed. Her face is burned beyond recognition and her right hand covers her eyes.

The video was shot in the early hours of Oct. 8 by a woman searching for a missing friend at the site of the rave in southern Israel where, the day before, Hamas terrorists massacred hundreds of young Israelis.

The video went viral, with thousands of people responding, desperate to know if the woman in the black dress was their missing friend, sister or daughter.

Why aren’t Jewish groups fighting DEI-based antisemitism?

They’re a little late to the party, but nevertheless still very welcome. The separate statements of Abe Foxman, the former head of the Anti-Defamation League, and David Harris, the former head of the American Jewish Committee, calling for the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs is welcome. They were dominant figures in the organized Jewish world for a generation and are still regarded as among the most influential voices in the community. So for both of them to come out as opponents of an ideology that has largely taken over the education system, as well as making serious inroads into the corporate world and government, is no small thing.

Groups like the ADL joined in the pile on as the target was white people.

A third of Arab Israelis polled see Oct. 7 massacre as being in tune with Islamic values

Palestinian culture

One-third of Israel’s Arab citizens disagree with Ra’am lawmaker Mansour Abbas’s statement that Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre “does not reflect Arab society, the Palestinian people and the Islamic nation,” according to a recent poll.

Thirty-three percent of all Arab Israelis surveyed disagreed with the statement while a further 11% “didn’t know.” Among Muslim Arabs only (separating out Druze and Christians) the number was larger still, with 34.5% disagreeing with the statement and 12.5% answering “didn’t know.”

Toronto police release photo of suspect wanted in hate-motivated threatening investigation

Toronto police say they are investigating a hate-motivated incident during a demonstration in North York earlier this week that saw the victim threatened.

Officers responded to the area of Avenue Road and Wilson Avenue on Sunday afternoon.

They learned that one person was demonstrating when an unknown individual approached them and became verbally aggressive.


Some slanted background here.

This video may be part of the reason for the “investigation.”

Hemingway, and the antisemitism also rises

Like many of you, I’ve got relatives and children of friends in the IDF who are right now risking life and limb for all of us, deep in the tunnels of Gaza.

G-d spare us the details until they return to us safely. We will know later what it must be like in the belly of the beast.

Seldom, if ever before, have our guys, our kids, had to endure anything like this. Oct 7 changed everything, even the way we think, from this distance here in America, where the streets once supposedly paved with gold, are now stomped with antisemites. This is our lot, our portion, through what’s known as the butterfly effect.

Who Supports Hamas?

The main groups that comprise the bulk of organizers and demonstrators who have supported the Hamas barbarism against Israel are:

1) Radical Islamic groups that, like the Islamic Republic of Iran after the 1979 revolution, regard Israel as the “Little Satan” and America as the “Big Satan.”

2) American revolutionary groups who used to be affiliated with Communism but now call themselves radical socialists or workers parties. Their goal is to overthrow our government and they attach themselves to every disruptive movement in the hope of garnering support and creating distrust for American democracy.

3) Old-fashioned anti-Semites who hate anything associated with Jews and concoct conspiracy theories that blame “the Jews” for all evils.

4) Useful idiots who have little or no knowledge of the issues but march in lockstep with all “woke,” “hard left,” and “anti-colonial” causes on the theory that “if it’s left, it must be right.”

Pro-Hamas demonstrators say they won’t be silenced by noise fines

Members of the Palestinian community in Ottawa say they are being unfairly targeted by the city’s bylaw department after being issued nearly $1,500 in fines during a downtown demonstration.

Three tickets worth $490 each were issued to participants of a Saturday march organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement in support of Palestinians in Gaza during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

The afternoon march made its way from the Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street to Rideau Street.
