Disarming Hamas Will Not Disarm the Muslim Brotherhood

Disarming Hamas Will Not Disarm the Muslim Brotherhood

On July 30, the Board of Peace announced an agreement for the staged decommissioning of Hamas weapons in the Gaza Strip. Heavy arms and tunnel networks are to be surrendered under international verification while Israeli forces are to withdraw in phases.

Now, however, Hamas says it will hand over nothing until Israel first pulls back. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu notes that Israel never accepted those terms. The sequencing is unresolved and may remain unresolved for months. The shape of the deal is not. Hamas is being offered political survival in exchange for its guns.

CBC journalist says protesters tried to ‘taunt and intimidate’ him from attending Yom Kippur service

CBC journalist says protesters tried to ‘taunt and intimidate’ him from attending Yom Kippur service

CBC National Radio News Reader Neil Herland recounts the intimidation he faced when trying to enter a building to attend Yom Kippur service in Toronto on Monday night, adding that he may have to leave Canada amid rising antisemitism.

“On Yom Kippur I went to a synagogue service in Toronto and was met by protesters trying to taunt and intimidate me from entering the building,” wrote Herland in a post on X, where he identifies himself as a journalist and a Jew. His post came a day after a synagogue came under attack in Belleville, Ont., a city about two hours to the east.

CBC won’t write about this.

Human rights museum director should be fired

The current director of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), Isha Khan, told its board that it is not her “boss.” The Globe and Mail reported this in August, in its article on the controversy over the museum’s “Nakba” exhibit, drawing on interviews with five board members.

The law is clear. And it is contrary to what Ms. Khan told the board about who is in charge.

‘We hit the floor’: Belleville, Ont., synagogue leader recounts shooting that left police officer, man injured

Around 7 p.m. on Sunday evening, Sons of Jacob Synagogue president Norman Weddum was ushering people into the Belleville, Ont., sanctuary to begin services for Yom Kippur when he heard shots ring out.

“It was boom, boom, boom,” Weddum told CBC News Network on Monday.

The exchange of gunfire outside the synagogue in the southern Ontario community left a man and a police officer wounded, authorities say. The 29-year-old man was hospitalized in life-threatening condition. The officer is in critical but stable condition.


The media and police are not providing much detail. Sounds targeted however.

Jewish Americans Are the Test; Canada Is the Preview

Jewish Americans Are the Test; Canada Is the Preview

The war waged in the West by Islamic extremists is won in the institutions before it’s won on the battlefield. Their method has a modern name: entryism. It involves embedding an ideology in campuses, charities and political parties so the battle is already half over before most people notice.

In the West, they keep choosing the same target: Jews.

Three Things that Concern Israelis – No, It Is Not Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah

Most Americans, particularly Jews in America, might believe that the Israelis’ primary concern is the never-ending military confrontations in Iran, Gaza, and Lebanon. Perhaps, perhaps not.

What matters most to Israelis at this time, according to Israel’s former ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, is a domestic matter: that of the forthcoming October elections. These elections will decisively direct the future of the nation, for better or worse.

Why Allowing Hamas to Participate in the Upcoming Elections Would Be a Catastrophic Mistake

For years, politicians, activists, journalists and organizations around the world have claimed to speak on behalf of the Palestinians. Many have blamed Israel for virtually every Palestinian problem while treating the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas as legitimate “resistance” movements whose political and military role should be preserved.

Now, a Palestinian psychiatrist who has lived and worked in the Gaza Strip is offering a rather different diagnosis.
