Stop posting about Gaza, police tell woman with Jewish family

A woman subjected to anti-Semitic abuse on social media says she was advised by police to stop posting on controversial subjects such as Gaza.

Heidi Bachram, who had Jewish family members murdered and taken hostage by Hamas during the Oct 7 attacks, was the subject of attacks by another user on X.

The account was eventually suspended for violating X’s rules with the posts, which contained anti-Semitic comments and cartoons showing stereotypically Jewish figures.

‘Your suffering doesn’t matter’: Harvard psychologist tackles Jews’ ‘traumatic invalidation’

After the Hamas-led terror attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern, a psychology instructor at Harvard Medical School, wrote on an Israeli Facebook group offering therapy resources to those affected by the attacks.

She was flooded with requests from American Jews and Israeli-Americans. She, and seven colleagues, provided a year’s worth of pro bono support in Massachusetts.

In defence of whataboutery

Did you know that 652 children have starved to death in Nigeria over the past six months? Did you know that in the north-east of that benighted nation, where a jihadist insurgency is raging and international aid is running thin, a savage hunger stalks the land? Did you know that five million people there are ‘severely hungry’, and that the World Food Programme is only able to feed 1.3million of them? Don’t feel ashamed if you haven’t heard about any of this. Few have. For it has been cruelly drowned out, ruthlessly demoted down the hierarchy of human concern, by what can only be described as the unhinged Gaza infatuation of our Israelophobic elites.

GOLDSTEIN: Report finds antisemitism new normal in many Ontario schools

A federal government report suggests it’s open season on Jewish students in Ontario schools when it comes to being targets of antisemitism.

Equally alarming, it concludes schools and school boards are reluctant to address reports of antisemitism and are simply ignoring many of the complaints – or blaming the victims.

Netanyahu: Invading Gaza City is the best way to end war

Benjamin Netanyahu said his plan to expand military action in Gaza is “the best way to end the war”.

The Israeli prime minister told a press conference in Jerusalem that he has “no choice” but to “finish the job” and “defeat” Hamas.

While up to three quarters of the territory is currently under Israeli control, Hamas still has strongholds, including Gaza City.

Hellbent on arrest, more than 360 activists of outlawed Palestine Action goad police to detain them – at cost of up to £3million for taxpayers

Militant protesters were accused of a ‘colossal’ waste of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money after more than 360 deliberately forced police to arrest them by brandishing signs supporting the outlawed group Palestine Action.

During a day of chaos and farce, Left-wing activists swamped Parliament Square in London today in support of the organisation, which was proscribed by the Government last month as a terrorist group.

Hundreds held placards declaring ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action’ in deliberate acts of law-breaking designed to overwhelm police resources and the courts.

Leslie Roberts: A Jewish man is attacked in front of his daughter, his kippah thrown in a puddle

Montreal — An identifiably Jewish man was walking with his family in a quiet Montreal neighbourhood where a large Hasidic Jewish community makes its home, when he was violently attacked on Friday afternoon. He was repeatedly punched to the ground, his kippah ripped from his head and thrown into a splash pad.

The assault, caught on video and widely shared on social media, shows his young daughter clutching his arm as it unfolded. He ended up in hospital. His attacker fled.

Jewish Father Brutally Assaulted in Montreal Park While Children Watch in Terror

Thank Canada’s elites and their swell immigration policy.

If you advocate for mass immigration, DEI, multicult and diversity you are the enemy of Canada.

Some further context, was it a random attack by a deranged individual, was it antisemitic or both?

Israel losing Canadian hearts and minds as poll shows growing outrage over Gaza

OTTAWA – A new poll suggests Israel is losing the battle for hearts and minds in Canada, with more Canadians now reporting their sympathies lie with Palestinians due to moral outrage over the war in Gaza.

Another poll suggests a slight majority of younger Canadians now say they’re optimistic about the prospects for peace in the Middle East — just as the broader public’s mood returns to the pessimism seen decades ago.

“There is absolutely disappointment in the actions of the current Israeli government,” said Adam Chapnick, a professor with the Royal Military College.


Online polls are not a hill to die on and given much of our media are water carriers for Hamas they cannot be trusted.

US pro-Palestinian activist paid $75k to protest, funding traces back to Chinese Communist Party

One of the lead organizers of pro-Palestine rallies in New York – David (Sung Mo) Chung – is paid $75,000 to protest, Nate Friedman first revealed in an investigation that he posted to his social media.

Friedman has been talking to people at protests for over a year, and now works to uncover professional protesters. He first came across Chung at a “Hands Off Iran” protest in NYC, he told The Jerusalem Post in an interview on Thursday. Friedman was trying to speak to a man with a flag that read, “There is no god but Allah,” but just “two sentences into the interview, another man interrupted and pulled the guy aside, and told him they were getting ready to march.” The other man was Chung.

Children of Eurabia are named after Hamas leaders

Perhaps New Statesman was right to headline: “The West is bored to death.”

Every day we invent a controversy over phantom “racism.”

And while the West dies of boredom and drifts into nothingness talking about mansplaining and misgendering, a death cult rises in Eurabia.

Imagine if in 1945, hundreds of Europeans had named newborns “Adolf,” a name that unsurprisingly disappeared after WWII.

Today, 583 baby boys in the UK have been named “Yahya”.

Terry Glavin: Synagogue vandalism shows being ‘progressive’ no shield against antisemitism

They were gathering at the conclusion of last weekend’s Shabbat at the Congregation Emanu-El synagogue in downtown Victoria for an evening reading from the Book of Lamentations and the usual chants and prayers to mark Tisha B’Av, the holiest day of mourning in the Jewish calendar.

It’s a time of fasting and reflection that marks the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem, and the tribulations that followed the Jews down through the ages.
