Last week, the York Federation of Students, York University Graduate Students’ Association and Glendon College Student Union issued a horrific statement applauding the brutal Hamas genocide that left over 1,300 innocent civilians dead as “a strong act of resistance” against “so-called Israel.”
Student clubs and unions at other universities such as the University of Toronto, Toronto Metropolitan University and Queen’s University have issued similar statements.
In a rare moment of unanimity, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre added his voice to the prime minister’s in calling for safe zones for Gaza’s civilians
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it is “imperative” that Israel respect international law and allow humanitarian access in the Gaza Strip, where one million people have been displaced in the first week of the war with terrorist organization Hamas.
Trudeau made those comments in the House of Commons on Monday, as MPs were returning from a break week. It was their first time reuniting since Hamas’s terror attacks on Oct. 7. Five Canadians were among the hundreds killed in the attack and three Canadians are missing, presumably kept as hostages by Hamas.
⚠️Warning. Extremely graphic⚠️
These are the atrocities committed by Palestinian terrorists. They massacred over 1,300 people in the most brutal ways imaginable.

Next will be the disproportionate response BS.
Any goodwill toward Israel the Hamas atrocities generated is quickly expiring.
Why not eleminate Hamas? Damned if you do damned if you don’t.
The IDF has shared footage of a member of Hamas invading an Israeli community on a motorbike and attacking the community with, what appears to be, a rocket launcher.

This is the long form version of a previously posted video.
The Biden administration insists that it does not have any evidence of Iran’s “direct” involvement in the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. The Biden administration has apparently totally dismissed the Wall Street Journal report on October 9, “Iran Helped Plot Attack on Israel Over Several Weeks,” as well as the Washington Post’s “Hamas received weapons and training from Iran, officials say.”
Hamas leaders have indeed long been boasting of the financial and military aid they receive from Iran to enable them to pursue the Jihad (holy war) to slaughter Jews and extinguish Israel. Based on the statements of these leaders, it is massively clear that without Iran’s support, and reported planning, Hamas could not have carried out the massacre of Israelis near the border with the Gaza Strip.
“Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) received harsh criticism for circulating a social media post that showed photos of dead children in Syria she claimed died in Gaza in the fighting between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas.
Omar retweeted a post that said “CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE” and “614 Palestinian children murdered by the Israeli [IDF] forces,” according to a screenshot posted to X by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Saturday. However, a community note stated the picture was from a 2013 sarin gas attack in Ghouta, Syria, and not from the Israel-Hamas war that began when Hamas, designated a terrorist group by the United States, attacked Israel on Oct. 7.
The organization that placed a billboard at Harvard University accusing some students of antisemitism amid the fight between Israel and Hamas is part of a network of rightwing media organizations being funded by a major conservative donor via a shadowy new foundation.
The single largest identified donor last year to Accuracy in Media (AIM), which placed the billboard, is the Informing America Foundation (IAF), formed in 2021, which has already dished out at least $8m to rightwing nonprofit and for-profit organizations, according to IRS filings.
Two people have been shot dead in the Belgian capital Brussels on Monday evening, police have said.
The gunman fled the scene and is still at large. Prosecutors say they are treating the shooting as terrorism.
Reports said the victims were Swedish. Sweden are playing Belgium in a Euro 2024 qualifier, but it is not known if the victims were there for the match.
A video posted on social media of an Arabic-speaking man claimed he carried out the attack in the name of God.

In the days following Hamas’s slaughter of innocent Israelis, a George Washington University professor under federal investigation for the mistreatment of Jewish students shared posts on her private Instagram account that describe Hamas terrorists as “martyrs” and endorse their “armed resistance.”
The past week should have been clarifying for Americans who have been inundated over the past few years by a melange of buzzwords whose meanings were unfamiliar, but vaguely virtuous-sounding.
Words like “equity” and “social justice,” of course. But also words like “decolonize,” which is a key component of the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” movement.
A majority of residents in the United States have expressed concern that the conflict between Israel and Hamas could escalate into terrorism domestically, according to a new poll.
While 66% of respondents expressed fear, various demographics expressed a higher level of concern, including 75% of residents 65 and older, 72% of women, and 76% of Republicans, according to the latest CNN poll from SSRS.
York University, one of the lesser houses of higher education in Toronto, has in attendance about 50,000 undergraduate students. They pay roughly $2 million per year to the York Federation of Students (YFS).
So it’s the students, ultimately, who paid for the delusional statement issued by the YFS this week in response to the attacks on Israel by the terror group Hamas.
Few questioned the morality of burning Japan’s cities. They had no sympathy for Japan, which appallingly abused captured US civilians.
Israel has declared war on Hamas. But why Hamas and not Gaza? What is Hamas if not the representative of Gaza’s Arabs? Didn’t these Arabs vote Hamas into power? Don’t they continue to support it? Don’t they celebrate when Jews are murdered? Wouldn’t they lynch you and me if they found us alone in an alley?
Is anyone aware of a less innocent population in human history?
And yet, for 40 years now – since the beginning of the First Intifada – Israel’s leaders have refused to crush these bloodthirsty Arabs in battle. They seem almost incapable of doing so at this point. So here’s an idea: Since Israel virtually worships America, why not learn from America how to win a war? The U.S. last won a decisive military victory when Japan surrendered to it on September 2, 1945, leading to 80 years of peace between the two countries. Not a bad outcome.
The Allies learned quickly that defeating Shinto fanaticism meant a fight to the death.

President Isaac Herzog on Sunday, in an interview with CNN, presented evidence found on Hamas terrorists following the barbaric attack on the people of Israel a week ago. He showed viewers a booklet entitled “The Warrior’s Guide – Jihad Version”, issued and distributed by Hamas to terrorists in the field.
In addition, the President presented shocking photos of atrocities in the massacre at Kibbutz Be’eri, which he visited this morning.
Canadian officials are making increasingly urgent calls for Israel to allow humanitarian access to the Gaza strip — or end the fighting altogether.
In a statement on Saturday evening, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau focused on the deteriorating situation in Gaza, calling a humanitarian corridor into the region “essential to address the urgent needs of civilians.” Trudeau also said international law and the rights of workers like medics and journalists must be respected.
“Canadians and people around the world must be steadfast in our support for the protection of civilians, both Israeli and Palestinian,” Trudeau said.
The tune will slowy shift to the usual whine of “disproportionate force.”
Israel should ignore the compromised choir and eliminate Hamas.
Oct 15 (Reuters) – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said the actions and policies of Islamist group Hamas do not represent Palestinian people, according to official news agency WAFA.
In a phone call with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Abbas also called the Palestine Liberation Organization the “sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people,” WAFA said
