Prisoners on hunger strike while awaiting trial on allegations relating to Palestine Action could die if David Lammy refuses to meet to discuss their treatment, their lawyers say.
Two of the eight prisoners have been refusing food for more than five weeks and five have already been admitted to hospital.
November 19. New York City. Park East Synagogue. A mob of Muslims and “leftists” block the entrance and terrorize Jews with shouts of “Globalize the intifada” and “Take another settler out.” The protest took place two weeks after a self-declared socialist, Zohran Mamdani, won the New York mayoral election. His spokesperson said that he “discouraged the language” used by the protesters, but, she added, incorrectly, “sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law”. She was referring to an event at the synagogue hosted by Nefesh b’Nefesh (Soul to Soul), a Jewish group that facilitates immigration to Israel.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow professes herself perplexed as to the motivation behind a petty, mean, cowardly thief stealing sacred scrolls from the doors of Jewish seniors.
Is Chow so arrogant that she fails to recognize it is because of her, and politicians like her, that this kind of antisemitic criminality happens?
I hate Chow.
It is time to confront one of the most dangerous illusions of our time: the belief that an International Stabilization Force for Gaza can bring order, reconstruction, or peace without dismantling Hamas. A force that enters Gaza while Hamas remains armed will merely stabilize Hamas itself. It will become, in practice, an International Stabilization Force for Hamas, a shield that protects the very organization that plunged Gaza into tragedy.
So long as there is Islam the world will not know peace.
Toronto police are investigating the theft of about 20 mezuzahs, or Jewish prayer scrolls, reported stolen from the doorways of apartments in a North York building, as a possible hate crime.
On Sunday morning at around 10:30 a.m., Toronto police received a call for a theft in the Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue West area, according to a news release Monday morning.
IMPACT-se just released their Review of the 2025-2026 Palestinian Authority School Curriculum (Grades 1-12). They reviewed 290 text books and 71 teacher guides (both printed and digital) currently in use by schools charged with educating Palestinian children. The results were unambiguous:
“The review finds that the 2025–2026 Palestinian Authority curriculum continues to systematically violate UNESCO principles and educational standards. Published in September 2025, the curriculum incites antisemitism and violence, promotes jihad and martyrdom, glorifies terrorism, rejects peacemaking and the two-state solution, and erases Israel from maps. It has not been substantively modified since the 2020–2021 school year, maintaining the same ideological framework first established in the 2016 reform cycle.”
In September, public intellectual Helen Andrews caused a stir when she delivered a provocative 17-minute speech, titled “Overcoming the Feminization of Culture,” to the National Conservatism Conference, later published as an article for Compact, titled “The Great Feminization.”
Andrews summarized feminization as the prioritizing of feminine over masculine interests, but additionally prioritizing “empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition.” All these traits combine, she believes, in institutions where females are numerically dominant, to define “wokeness” and “cancel culture.”
A Toronto model says her Uber driver kicked her out of the vehicle into the dark night because she was Jewish.
“What happened isn’t just an unpleasant moment. It’s a reminder of why speaking up matters,” Miriam Mattova, 33, told National Post. “And discrimination must be met with accountability, not silence.”

The anti-Israel movement in Hollywood and academia has found a new cause: securing the release of a Palestinian terrorist serving five life sentences for orchestrating deadly terror attacks against Israeli civilians, Marwan Barghouti.
High-profile actors including Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo, and Sir Ian McKellen joined some 200 other public figures in calling on the international community to pressure Israel to release the former Fatah leader from prison.
He’s more Winnie than Nelson.
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.
