The obvious problem with rewarding terrorists is that they tend to take advantage. So it is with Hamas.
Almost a year ago, Mark Carney signalled his intention to recognize the state of “Palestine” and since then Hamas has: grown stronger; rearmed; carried out daylight executions of Palestinians in Gaza; and, according to a report, is on the verge of restarting its war with Israel.
It was calculated.
Shocking footage shows Jewish revellers being harassed and heckled at London’s Pride march – while police officers watched on and made no arrests.
Scotland Yard said it was investigating anti-Semitic abuse after clips posted online showed Jews being told to ‘go back to your Zionist homeland’ and that ‘you kill Arab children, you kill gay children’ in reference to the war in Gaza.
One woman also appeared to shout ‘f*** you, Jew’ during a confrontation that began with chants of ‘Free Palestine’ in Soho on Saturday.
In the 2015 film Look Who’s Back, Adolf Hitler, upon shooting himself, finds that he is not dead but transported 70 years into the future. As the Führer explores the new Germany, he becomes a popular sensation with everyone believing him to be a man trying to make a statement. When asked which of the current parties he would support, Hitler replies that it would be the Green Party, much to the audience’s amusement.
The furious Palestinian reaction to the recent declaration by the so-called “Board of Peace” — that the United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) “has no place in the new Gaza Strip” — has once again exposed a fundamental truth that many in the international community continue to ignore: for the Palestinians, UNRWA is not just a humanitarian agency. It is a political institution that keeps alive the dream of the so-called “right of return” — a demand that, by overwhelming Israel’s population of roughly 10 million with millions of supposed “refugees” — would effectively bring about the end of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.
In 1947, a group of scientists created a clock — to measure a world teetering on the edge of its own destruction. Born from the fear of a nuclear arms race between Moscow and Washington, they called it the Doomsday Clock. Its face was simple: an analogue dial, a single minute hand leading to midnight — the point of no return.
Israel’s right to defend itself “does not grant us the right to oppress others,” the Israeli newspaper Haaretz once warned in an editorial. Seizing new land requires ruling that land, and rule without representation brings resistance. In turn, it continued, “resistance brings in its wake oppression. Oppression brings in its wake terrorism and counterterrorism.”
Published after the Six-Day War in 1967, it was as true then as it is now. The dire situation Haaretz predicted has, in fact, come to pass. Israel’s willingness to oppress Palestinians and neighbouring states has become not only intolerable but also dangerous to its own survival.
A Jewish real estate agent has been brutally assaulted while on his way to meet a client at a Toronto commercial center, marking the latest in a string of targeted antisemitic hate crimes as hostility toward Jews and Israelis continues to intensify across Canada.
In a Facebook post, Joseph Bitton described the incident, alleging that a man identifying himself as a Shiite Houthi Muslim from Yemen threatened to kill him, shouted antisemitic slurs at him over his Jewish identity, and then physically attacked him.
The hallmark of any abuser is how they make blame the victims of their abuse for making them mad. It’s horrific behavior and should not be tolerated. Since the October 7, 2023, terror attacks in Israel, we’ve seen an astronomical rise in antisemitism in America and across the globe. In Australia, Jews celebrating Hanukkah were shot at Bondi Beach. In the U.S., Leftists took over college campuses and harassed Jewish students.
The man who admitted he set a fire at a synagogue in Dollard-des-Ormeaux in 2024 said Tuesday that he was high as a kite and was carrying out “a mission” for another person.
Mohamed Ilyess Akodad, 20, testified before Quebec Court Judge Karine Giguère at the Montreal courthouse during his sentence hearing.
This past weekend, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) unveiled “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present,” and the exhibit turned out to be exactly what critics had feared. Instead of providing a balanced historical examination, the exhibit memory-holes key context — including Arab rejection of the UN partition plan and the full scope of the 1948 war — in favour of a politicized, one-sided narrative that focuses on catastrophe and “ongoing dispossession.” And I didn’t even have to visit the exhibit to reach this conclusion. The proof is right there on the museum’s website for anyone willing to compare it with the full historical record.
Heritage Minister Marc Miller said Monday the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg has erred in how it curated an exhibit about displaced Palestinians.
The federal cabinet minister said in an interview with The Canadian Press on Monday that the museum should change how it portrays the current conflict between Israel and Palestinians and update the museum’s oversight.
Spoken like a true weasel.
A charity connected to the controversial group HonestReporting Canada, which claims to expose anti-Israel bias in news media, has launched two court battles against the attempted revocation of its registration by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
HR Canada Charitable Organization (HRCCO) has filed challenges to the revocation in both the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Federal Court of Appeal, according to court records obtained by the IJF and Future of Good.
Lot of this sort of proxy war going on.
WINNIPEG — Our government is officially failing Jews and Palestinians. That’s what I came away with thinking after touring the Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ newest exhibit, Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present.
High-end UK supermarket chain Waitrose stands accused of tolerating antisemitism after an incident at its Harrow branch.
Reportedly, an Orthodox Jewish woman was in the checkout queue on Monday, June 22nd when a “fed-up” fellow shopper began verbally abusing her.
Not sure Britain can be salvaged.
his story is bigger than Israel. This story is not about Palestinians versus Israelis. This story is not about what drives people to the streets, even when many of them could not find Gaza on a map.
This story is about the fading trust in UN institutions and, even more troubling, in humanitarian work itself.
After October 7, HonestReporting, an Israeli media watchdog, alerted the public to a series of uncomfortable facts. What they discovered was that several Gaza-based ‘freelance photojournalists’ appeared to be operating in close proximity to prominent Hamas leaders and attackers during the assault, or possessed material that raised serious questions about how it had been obtained. The photographers in question were working for or associated with media outlets such as AP, Reuters, NYT, and CNN.
Carney sends them our money of course.
