‘The Fruits of October 7’: Hamas Leader Praises European, Canadian Calls for Palestinian Statehood

Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad on Saturday hailed Canadian, British, and French plans to recognize a Palestinian state as “the fruits of October 7,” crediting Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel with growing Western support for such a state.

“Why are all the countries recognizing a Palestinian state today?” Hamad, a senior member of the Hamas politburo, asked during a Saturday interview on Al Jazeera, according to a translation by the Times of Israel. “Before October 7, did any country dare recognize a Palestinian state?”

Netanyahu to propose full reoccupation of Gaza, Israeli media report

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to propose fully reoccupying the Gaza Strip when he meets his security cabinet, Israeli media say.

“The die has been cast. We’re going for the full conquest of the Gaza Strip – and defeating Hamas,” local journalists quote a senior official saying.

Responding to reports that the army chief and other military leaders oppose the plan, the unnamed official said: “If that doesn’t work for the chief of staff, he should resign.”

‘Disgusting act of hate’: Victoria synagogue vandalized with antisemitic statements

B.C.’s premier and public safety minister are condemning the vandalism of Canada’s oldest surviving synagogue and pledging to support police and the community while an investigation is underway.

The Victoria Police Department was called to the Congregation Emanu-el Synagogue on Saturday around 8 p.m.

This is we are told a “progressive” synagogue.

Don’t believe the crocodile when he promises to eat you last.

Sheryl Saperia: Supporting Palestinian statehood means endorsing violence

Former U.S. vice-president Hubert Humphrey once observed that “foreign policy is really domestic policy with its hat on.” This deceptively simple phrase captures a profound truth: a country’s stance on international affairs is almost never just about abstract ideals or global ethics. It reflects, and often redirects, domestic pressures, political calculations and the ideological currents coursing through national life. Canada’s proposed recognition of Palestinian statehood is a prime example — a foreign policy move with far-reaching consequences for our national and international security.

Carney is cool with that.

The wrong plan, the wrong reasons

Canada’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state will likely change little in the world, as our country has refused to play a constructive role in the region for many years, but it confirms for Canadian Jews that their government is not really for them.

Since the October 7 attack on Israel, Canada has witnessed an explosion of hate targeting the Jewish community. Jews in Canada have had their businesses targeted, synagogues and schools have been shot at and firebombed, neighbourhoods have been harassed and Ottawa’s National Holocaust Monument has been defaced.

It was a clear message to the Muslim World that Carney is on Team Muhammad.

Israel Releases Footage of Aid Left Waiting by UN, NGOs

GAZA – Undistributed UN Aid

A cornucopia of aid supplies, mostly food, has accumulated in recent months on the Gazan side of the crossings to the Gaza Strip and is still waiting to be collected by international aid organizations, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) — a unit within Israel’s defense ministry — said on July 25, 2025, in the wake of claims that Jerusalem is preventing food from entering the Strip.

COGAT released extensive footage showing the hundreds of trucks on the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing, with rows of boxes of supplies stacked on pallets.

GOLDSTEIN: Carney touts Palestinian leader accused of Holocaust denial as his man in Mideast

Today, let’s examine the record of the man Prime Minister Mark Carney is pinning his hopes on to deliver an independent Palestinian state living in peace beside a secure Israel.

His choice is Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, as he explained in a prime ministerial “Readout” of their conversation on July 30.

Avraham Shalev: Sorry, Carney — ‘Palestine’ does not meet the test for statehood

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s statement that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state is a mishmash of good intentions, western naivete and wilful blindness.

The statement pays lip service to Israeli security concerns, saying that the Palestinian Authority (PA) must undergo fundamental reforms, that Hamas can have no role in Palestinian governance and that a Palestinian state must be demilitarized. Unfortunately, none of these conditions is grounded in reality.

Hamas negotiators demand Jerusalem be Palestinian state capital

Hamas says it will not disarm unless an independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital.

The statement, which reasserts a long-held demand by the group, seemingly came in response to a declaration by the Arab League last week that called for Hamas to lay down its weapons and release all remaining hostages. On Tuesday, the 22 member nations called for Hamas to relinquish control of Gaza and hand it over to the Palestinian Authority, which rules the West Bank.

I assume Carney agrees.

Carney’s shift on Palestinian statehood would not have happened as quickly under Trudeau, insiders say

Just over a year ago, the Liberal caucus was in turmoil over the government’s responses to the war between Israel and Hamas. Factions broke publicly with then-prime minister Justin Trudeau and one MP even threatened to quit.

But the reaction has been far more tempered to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s announcement Wednesday that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state this fall, a major shift in government policy.

Insiders say that’s a reflection of the current scale of the crisis in Gaza, but also a different prime minister at a different political time.

Open Disdain for Jews and Israel Is the Status Quo in Carney’s Liberal Party

Carney speaks at a Muslim Brotherhood function

On July 30th 2025, Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, declared that “the peaceful co-existence of Israeli and Palestinian states [is] the only roadmap for a secure and prosperous future” and confirmed that “Canada will recognize a Palestinian state” at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that his decision is unequivocally appalling to any defenders of democracy, human rights, and The Good, Carney’s recent comments are not at all surprising or even unexpected.

France suspends Gaza evacuations after student antisemitism row

France has suspended its programme for receiving Palestinians fleeing Gaza.

The freeze will be in place while authorities investigate a Palestinian student in France who has been accused of making antisemitic remarks online, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has said.

The 25-year-old woman was on a scholarship in northern France’s city of Lille and will have to leave the country after her university withdrew her accreditation.

What did they think they were importing?

Auschwitz museum orders visiting Israeli soldiers to remove flags

A delegation of Israeli soldiers visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum have been ordered to remove national flags during an annual ceremony.

In what is believed to be the first time such an order has occurred at the event, the “humiliating” incident was blamed on “antisemitism and an attempt to reshape the historical narrative” by a member of the delegation.

Days after its release, Ottawa calls report on lethal exports to Israel ‘flawed’

OTTAWA — Ottawa is insisting it hasn’t sent lethal weapons to Israel, days after the release of a report stating Israeli customs data indicates Canadian arms are still being exported there regularly.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says items that the Israel Tax Authority identified as “bullets” were actually “paintball-style projectiles” that cannot be used in combat, even though the bullets were identified by the authority as “munitions of war and parts thereof.”

Jewish LGBTQ2+ group excluded from Montreal Pride as organizers condemn ‘genocide in Gaza’

Montreal Pride organizers have barred a Jewish LGBTQ2+ group from marching in this year’s parade, accusing it of “spreading hateful discourse.”

Ga’ava, a Montreal LGBTQ2+ group affiliated with the Toronto-based Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said it had been excluded from festivities in a social media post Wednesday evening.
