Hi, Terror Apologist!
I don’t know who you are, why you care about the plight of Jews in the diaspora or in Israel, how long you’ve been involved with Jewish-Arab peace and coexistence movements, or how much you have personally at stake with the safety of Israeli Jews or people in Gaza, but I’m so glad you’re here.
Hassan Nasrallah keen to please Iran paymasters as he keeps options open with ‘nothing to do with me’ speech
There have not been many occasions like it, fewer still for the speech of an unelected cleric and militia leader.
Almost the entire Middle East stopped to tune in to the pronouncement of Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah at 3pm on Friday.
Would he open a second front in the Israel-Hamas conflict, hurling the region into much wider conflagration, one that could in turn spark a new world war?
In a recent interview, Jonathan Pollard explicitly confirmed the only plausible explanation for what happened on Simchas Torah: there was a stand down order while thousands of Jews in dozens of communities were brutally murdered, tortured, raped, mutilated, and dragged off to Gaza.
The vital clip is available here, and a link to the complete interview with Kofy Time TV is in the description.
As copious video evidence has shown, the savages conducted their rampage methodically and at great leisure, without concern that an overwhelming military response was likely to arrive any moment. They somehow knew they had time to sit down and eat, take smoking breaks, pose for videos, loot the dead, and torture many of their victims.
I know a bit about Pollard but have not followed him to any extent. I do not know anything about the author of the linked article Chananya Weissman and hope a reader can set us straight.
I am intrigued by their POV. Something has seemed off about the Israeli response.
I was born in Riga, Latvia, when it was still part of the Soviet Union. The forest behind the apartment complex where I lived with my parents was called Bikernieki forest. From a very young age, perhaps as early as 4, I knew that Nazis had shot Jews in that forest.
In a different part of Riga, my grandparents lived in a house also inhabited by a Latvian couple of their generation. During the Nazi occupation, the husband had served in the auxiliary police and killed Jews. When my grandparents and this man passed one another coming and going, they exchanged greetings.
In the comforting safety of my own home, I sat down with my wife for our morning coffee recently. As our children played happily across the room, the atmosphere between us was sombre; the weight of the events of the past few weeks was palpable. Our conversation, though whispered, seemed to resound through the centuries, echoing the fears and uncertainties of countless Jewish families before us.
A New York family who confronted two potty-mouthed young women tearing down Israeli child hostage posters while screaming “F–k Israel” told The Post Thursday they’ve filed a police report and want the duo to face charges over the hateful encounter.
Marilyn Adler said she came face to face with the poster-rippers — who were featured on The Post’s Nov. 2 front page amid a slew of similar incidents — at Broadway and 79th Street on the Upper West Side while she was out with her two adult daughters Tuesday afternoon.
New York Times reporter Katherine Rosman gave equal time to the repellent degenerates in New York City who were gleefully ripping down street posters that displayed Jewish hostages taken to Gaza by Hamas terrorists: “Prominent Posters Of Kidnapped Israelis Become a Flashpoint.”
A large majority of Canadians say they are worried about the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas spreading to other countries in the Middle East and beyond, a new survey from Nanos Research shows.
Most of the people surveyed are largely concerned about a potential increase in hate crimes here.
As Israel continues to pound Gaza to powder, the unpleasant prospect of what will happen to the tens of thousands of Palestinians who are being made homeless by Israel’s campaign to annihilate Hamas is being considered.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his nation on Friday evening that he had refused the Biden administration’s request for a “pause” in fighting, ostensibly for humanitarian purposes.
The principal at London Islamic School – in Southwestern Ontario – says a teacher reading a student’s poem on TikTok that states “Israel should be banned” has been spoken to.
However, the word had with her was not about what many would consider anti-Semitic themes in the video but on her choice to put it on social media.
When can a demonstration be banned?
Article 8, paragraph 1 of Germany’s constitution, or “Basic Law,” states: “All Germans shall have the right to assemble peacefully and unarmed without prior notification or permission.”
In principle, there is a high bar to be met in Germany before restrictions on freedom of assembly — including an outright ban — can be imposed. The ban must be very well justified, as the highest German court, the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe, has repeatedly made clear.
Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese Shia Islamist group Hezbollah, is addressing his followers in his first public comments since the Israel-Hamas war broke out.
The speech is likely to indicate the group’s next moves, as its fighters and the Israeli army are engaged in intense attacks on the Lebanon-Israel border.
This has raised fears the area could become another front in the conflict.
So far, however, the violence has largely been contained.
Since Hamas carried out the 7 October attacks on Israel, killing more than 1,400 people, Lebanon has been on edge, closely watching Hezbollah.
We have always stood up for others. Who stands up for us now?
A number of years ago, I participated in a press conference alongside a group of Holocaust survivors to denounce the heinous and barbaric gassing of entire villages by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Following the so-called Arab Spring and his own citizens’ calls for freedom, al-Assad had murdered between 350,000 and 500,000 men, women and children, which constituted a genocide.
We saw hints of this shift last year. People began to note a “silence” from the usually reliable chorus of support for the Jewish community.
Part of the problem as I see it lay in the weaponization of hate by extreme-left groups such as the ADL, the SPLC and Canada’s silly junior club member Anti-Hate.ca. Anti-semitism by Progressives and Muslims is almost always given a pass by these groups while white people are painted as NAZIS in waiting just for being “White.”
Aided by their fellow travelers in academia and opportunistic politicians they encouraged the demonization of western culture and heritage and helped spawn the insanity of the Black Lives Matter movement. A spasm of anti-white hate that will harm the black community for many years to come.
In Canada questioning immigration, multiculturalism or diversity is typically enough to have you suspected of being at least NAZI adjacent.
Only recently has the national disaster of the Trudeau government’s mass immigration program forced people to find the nerve to speak out.
And where has that lead us? Mass celebrations of Hamas atrocities in our streets.
Bear in mind that these celebrants are not newcomers to our country they are the children of Muslim immigrants and their hatred of Jews and Israel is bred in the bone at home, in their community and in their mosques and long nurtured by our politicians and public institutions at all levels.
Grievance and entitled victimhood are called diversity, equity and inclusion. We should rename Islamic Heritage Month Hamas Appreciation Month if we really want to accurately celebrate the balkanization of Canadian society.
Tolerating the intolerable and pitting ethnic groups against one another may win you votes in Canada but it also hardens it’s intended victims.
An Israeli first responder to the October 7 terror attack has claimed that Hamas terrorists roasted a baby in an oven in shocking video testimony.
Asher Moskowitz, of the United Hatzalah first responder group, published a video of himself speaking to a camera, delivering his witness account.
In it, he claims he saw the remains of a baby who had been baked to death in an oven at kibbutz Kfar Aza, where more than 100 civilians were killed.
