“Oct 7 2023”

It’s no secret that many younger members of the Biden administration are not happy with the president’s policy of demonstrating strong support for Israel. Dozens of State Department members signed a “dissent cable” taking issue with the president’s decided tilt in favor of the Israelis.

Now, there’s a growing revolt in the White House as many junior aides are griping about the pro-Israel bias of the president.

Montreal police are investigating after shots were fired at two Jewish schools.

Police say they received two 911 calls, one at around 8:20 a.m., and the second just before 8:50 a.m.

In both cases, the callers reported the schools’ front doors had been struck by bullets, but police say they cannot yet confirm if there is a link between the incidents.

For a minute there I actually thought the Prime Minister was going to take a moral stance against the grotesque display of Jew hatred now erupting on the streets of Canada. But nope. He had to include “Islamophobia.” If you can’t discuss a problem honestly don’t discuss at all. https://t.co/zqEVuvjP6R

The West has been flooded with barbarians, who are no longer at the gates but well inside them.

But the threat of the barbarians from without is minuscule compared to the reality that barbarism itself has become perfectly normal within our society, and barbaric practices have been adopted by many Americans.

Vivian Bercovici: Suddenly Toronto resembles Germany in 1938

Dear Madam Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, Ms. Deborah Lyons,

It is with deep concern that I write this open letter to you in what is perhaps the darkest hour for the Jewish people since six million were murdered in the Holocaust.

As the child of a Holocaust survivor, I have often churned and wondered: “How could they not have seen it coming?”

If you read this blog then you know Toronto did not become a Hamas outpost “suddenly.”

It’s becoming a bad joke that so many are shocked, shocked to find themselves surrounded by Hamas supporters as if they appeared by magic.

The “shocked” demonized those who spoke against Islamist immigration as bigots, Islamophobes, nativists and white supremacists.

All the while coddling, protecting the hate they invited inside the gates.

For some the Bubble has burst, most I suspect will continue to believe their own lies.

They refused to heed Europe’s experience with Islam which this blog has highlighted for going on two decades and now we find ourselves a few short steps away from their fate.

Viva diversity.

LONDON, Nov 9 (Reuters) – Reuters denied on Thursday suggestions by media advocacy group HonestReporting that it and other international news organisations had prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians and soldiers.

The Israeli government demanded explanations from Reuters and three other news groups regarding the HonestReporting article which questioned their work with Gaza-based photojournalists during the Hamas assault.

From the river to the sea, chanted: Nope, not hate-motivated speech.

The Hamas flag, waving it: Possibly a hate crime. Definitely an ugliness.

A technical briefing for reporters on Wednesday by Toronto Police on hate crime investigations answered some questions and side-stepped or qualified others. But there’s no disputing that hateful and harmful activities have spiked alarmingly since the savage Oct. 7 raids by Hamas into Israel. Enough of a proliferation that the hate crime unit has expanded from six investigators to 20, plus eight district special constables to assist.

I know from personal experience the TPS will turn a blind eye so as not to antagonize the Hamas supporters. Isolating counter-protesters and escorting them from the area if need be is how they handle potential clashes.

As you read the article you’ll come to understand that short of actual murder no hate crime charges will be laid against the Hamas supporters.

Will they riot? No idea but I would not be surprised.

The president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, underlined the need for Jews in the country to be able to live freely and without fear.

His comments on Thursday came on the 85th anniversary of the Nazi November pogroms against Germany’s Jews — and at a time when antisemitic incidents are once more on the rise.

Germany’s Scholz ‘ashamed’ at antisemitism wave as ‘Kristallnacht’ pogrom marked

BERLIN, Nov 9 (Reuters) – Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he was “ashamed and outraged” at a recent wave of antisemitic incidents in Germany, warning Berlin would not tolerate such anti-Jewish hatred as he marked the 85th anniversary of the Nazis’ “Kristallnacht” pogrom of Jews.

Scholz was speaking at a ceremony at a Berlin synagogue to mark “Kristallnacht” alongside Jewish leaders. The synagogue was among 1,000 that were damaged or destroyed across Germany and Austria by Nazi mobs during the “Night of Broken Glass” in November 1938.

OTTAWA—By any account, it has been a brutal month.

The explosion of hostilities sparked by an attack on Israel by Hamas militants has riveted the attention of global leaders, humanitarian organizations and civil society, and deepened rifts at the United Nations. In Ottawa, it has become one of the most all-consuming crises to hit the Trudeau government.

This is a look at how the past four weeks have unfolded inside government. The Star spoke to multiple sources, most of whom talked only on condition they not be identified in order to candidly discuss a challenging foreign policy file with profound domestic and international implications. All described it as the most challenging — including on an emotional level — since the Liberals came to power.

Meanwhile at the Museum of tolerance …

Israel is reportedly considering whether to charge Hamas fighters with rape, after a witness testified about a suspected gang rape at the site of the Supernova music festival massacre.

Investigators from the Israeli police’s Lahav 433 national crime unit have collected evidence of sexual offences against women by Hamas attackers during the deadly cross-border raid on Oct 7, Israel’s Haaretz and Maariv newspapers reported on Wednesday.

“Most of Hamas’ senior political and military figures are hiding in hospitals especially Shifa Hospital,” the terrorist said.

And … IDF finds Hamas terror tunnel inside an abandoned car

A witness to the fatal altercation between Paul Kessler and a pro-Palestinian protester said Tuesday that the suspect “stalked” he and Kessler during the demonstration, recording them with his phone and harassing them with a bullhorn.

Unified in a seething hatred of the West.

In the month since the horrific jihadist attacks on Israeli civilians, worldwide protests and antisemitic rallies, replete with Nazi-era slogans and tropes, began even before Israel launched its war against Hamas. In the U.S., these demonstrations include unprecedented coalitions of Muslims and “woke” leftists, a seemingly oxymoronic alliance, given that everything else Islam and leftism stand for are mutually exclusive.
