“Oct 7 2023”

Here we are, a few decades of “mea culpa” following the Holocaust-oh, this will never happen again – oops-it is. It isn’t the Nazis or the white supremacists this time, although they are participating: Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson – it’s the Muslims. And unlike Germany with 40 million people, there are 2 billion Muslims. How the world cheers them on, including leaders from the West – Canada, France, Great Britain, Australia. The Palestinian Arab terrorist group Hamas has celebrated the Western countries for their decisions.

But there is one exception.

One leader, and he is hated by so many. That leader: Donald J Trump: President of the United States of America.

Another Pride parade, another protest. But this time, the protestors won the day. On Sunday, Queers for Palestine managed to shut down the Ottawa Pride parade by blocking its path on Wellington Street, in front of Parliament Hill. They claim to have done so “with the permission” of the parade’s grand marshal. Capital Pride responded by cancelling the rest of the parade — and the fact they did so says everything you need to know about where Pride has drifted.

More than 150 prominent Muslim scholars from 50 countries are currently attending a conference in Istanbul, Turkey, to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre of Israelis and foreign nationals. At least 20 Muslim citizens of Israel were among 1,200 people murdered by Hamas terrorists and ordinary Palestinians that day. Thousands more were injured, and 251 Israelis and foreign nationals were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip, where 50 — dead and alive — are still held captive.

For too many around the world, Israel’s war with Hamas is viewed through a lens of moral simplicity: Enough. End the fighting. Bring relief to the people of Gaza. Accept a ceasefire — any ceasefire. Do the “right” thing.

Forget that 50 hostages remain in Gaza. Forget that Hamas vows to repeat October 7. Forget that this week marks one year since six hostages were murdered in captivity — killed in cold blood after yet another round of failed negotiations.

A chronic allegation made by Jew haters is that you can’t criticize the military policies of the Israeli government in Gaza without being accused of antisemitism.

This is nonsense – criticism of those policies is not antisemitic.

The Ontario public school network is a systemically polluted ecosystem. This isn’t my opinion. The evidence is in, and it stinks to high heaven.

A recent survey on antisemitism in three Ontario school boards, submitted by then federal envoy for combatting antisemitism Deborah Lyons tallied 781 antisemitic incidents in Ontario K-12 schools, most of which occurred in metropolitan Toronto. Many involved Nazi tropes (“Heil Hitler,” “Hitler was right”). One in six were teacher-initiated or involved school-sponsored activities.

In a particularly chilling Oct 2024 incident, an Ottawa six-year-old was told by her teacher that, since one of her parents is Jewish, she is only “half human.” In Nazi Germany, treatment of such children “vacillated between persecution, semi-toleration, and racial reclassification.” Sound familiar?

The Iran-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas said earlier this week that it has delivered a “positive response” to mediators on the latest US proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal with Israel. The group’s leaders, however, continue to talk about the need to continue the “armed struggle” against Israel. For Hamas, the “armed struggle” means launching more terror attacks against Israel and murdering as many Jews as possible. Hamas leaders, in addition, continue to stress that they refuse to lay down their weapons.

The greatest threat to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political future isn’t Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran or criticism by Prime Minister Mark Carney and his support for a Palestinian state.

Rather, it’s hundreds of past and present Israeli military and security officials who publicly oppose his plan to re-occupy Gaza City, now in its early stage, along with a growing portion of the Israeli public, including the families of many Israeli hostages.

I don’t think they’ll change coaches in the middle of a winning streak.

No reason for Israel to care much for “world” opinion any longer being damned no matter what they do.

A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf.

The higher administrative court in the eastern state of Thuringia on Wednesday rejected a request from a woman to be allowed entry to the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial while wearing a keffiyeh.

According to local media reports, the woman was turned away when she attempted to attend a commemorative event marking the 80th anniversary of the camp’s liberation in April while wearing the scarf.
