Secret complaints spark controversial CRA audit of Jewish charity

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) relied on anonymous complaints in its audit of the Jewish National Fund (JNF), a prominent Canadian charity, leading to the revocation of its charitable status last August.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the JNF claims these complaints unfairly influenced the outcome, according to newly obtained Access to Information records.

Trump says he wants to ‘clean out Gaza’ by removing Palestinians

Donald Trump has proposed relocating as many as 1.5 million Gazans to neighbouring Jordan and Egypt in a bid to “clean out” the war-torn strip.

It comes as the US president also lifted a pause imposed by the Biden administration on 2,000-pound bombs for Israel.

Now in his second term in office, Mr Trump said on his social media app Truth Social: “A lot of things that were ordered and paid for by Israel, but have not been sent by Biden, are on their way!”

Conrad Black: The insidious BDS campaign trying to undermine our universities

As the United States officially abandons the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda as the institutionalized bigotry that most of it is, and Harvard University has banned reasonably defined antisemitism and is incorporating the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, Canadian academia appears to be resolutely accelerating in the opposite direction. In recent months, activists from the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the United Steelworkers (USW) university locals, promoting boycott, divestment and sanctions policies against Israel, have been pressuring faculty associations at the University of Toronto and other Ontario universities, demanding ”responsible investing” by the University Pension Plan (UPP), which holds $11.7 billion in assets for the 41,000 working and retired members of the plan.

The “University” is fast losing its value. Junk “studies” degrees and absurdly left indoctrination churns out incompetent young adults unable to support themselves.

Who are the four Israeli hostages released by Hamas in latest swap?

Four female Israeli soldiers were released by Hamas on Saturday in the second hostage release of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag were handed to the Red Cross in Gaza City.

In exchange 200 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel are set to be freed.

The four women were serving as observers at the Nahal Oz army base on the border with Gaza when Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October, 2023.

GORDON: Justice Minister Virani… not the man to take lead on antisemitism

It’s uncertain whether the federal government’s National Forum on Combating Antisemitism, occurring next month, is a case of “too little too late,” or “better late than never.”

For the past sixteen months antisemitism in Canada has reached unprecedented levels, rising six-hundred percent. Jews are the target of 70 percent of all religion-motivated hate crimes; particularly alarming given that Jews make up less than 1% of Canada’s population.

Brad Bradford: Bylaw protecting Toronto Jewish neighbourhoods in the works, no thanks to Chow

In the fifteen months since October 7, an absence of leadership has turned Toronto into a city that many don’t recognize. Even more upsetting, for some it has turned into a city where they don’t feel safe.

It seems almost weekly that a Jewish-owned business, community centre or synagogue is targeted by vandalism or protests. A Jewish girls’ school, Bais Chaya Mushka Elementary, has been shot at on three separate occasions. Neighbourhoods have been deliberately targeted for protests because of their Jewish populations.

Terrorist with US green card stopped for pizza before going on stabbing spree in Israel

The Moroccan national holding a US green card who went on a stabbing spree in Israel, wounding four people before he was fatally shot, made a quick stop for pizza before going on his rampage, security footage shows.

Abdelaziz Kaddi, 29, was caught on camera picking up fresh slices at the Pizza and Tortilla restaurant in Tel Aviv just minutes before attacking four men in the Nahalat Binyamin neighborhood Tuesday night, local Channel 12 reports.

Gaza’s barbarians enjoy an admiring Western press office

We have gone far beyond the grim comparisons with the 1930s. The reason why the Germans had to hold the conference on the shores of Lake Wannsee in secret (only one copy of that conference survived, miraculously reaching us) at which they decided to exterminate 11 million Jews is because if they had announced it in public, even the typical quiet German might have felt a little uncomfortable.

For all those in the West who have perpetuated the lie of the “Israeli genocide” in Gaza over the past 15 months, have a good look at the videos and photos of the immense well-dressed and well-fed violent Arab crowd surrounding the first three freed Israeli women, the Islamic terrorists with balaclavas emerging from “humanitarian tents” and tunnels, watch them jumping on the Red Cross cars.

New Yorkers Are Right to Demand a Ban on Criminal Masking

poll published last week highlights the sharp divide between what New Yorkers want and what advocates demand. The survey found that 75 percent of New York voters support banning face-masking as a disguise to terrorize, hurt people, and commit crimes.

Two such bans, one Democratic and one Republican, are making their way through the state legislature—something Governor Kathy Hochul neglected to mention in her recent State of the State address. Nonetheless, opponents of New York’s ban insist that such laws offer no public-safety benefits, and that they will prevent ordinary citizens from masking for health. These arguments are not only wrong; as the recent poll shows, they’re also out of step.

Released Israeli Hostages Given “Gift Bags” in Final Hamas Insult

For a few moments on Sunday, it looked like the Israel-Hamas ceasefire might not have gone forward, thanks to a nearly three-hour delay caused by the terrorist organisation. Then, when it did begin and three hostages made their way back to Israel, Hamas made sure that it got the last laugh over those held captive.

Emily Damari, 28, Romi Gonen, 24, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31, who were captured during the October 7th terror attacks, 471 days ago, were given what have been described as “gift bags” by Hamas.

Why not “one million deaths in Gaza”?

Last April Gabriel Epstein, an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, pointed out that something was amiss. He found that the deaths attributed to “reliable media sources” were almost entirely women and children. Of the 6,629 media-attributed victims, 1,941 were women, 4,678 were children, and only 10 were men. Of the nearly 11,000 deaths reported between January 1 and March 31, adult males accounted for just 9 percent of the victims, even though Gaza’s gender ratio is close to parity and more than half of its residents are adults.

John Weissenberger: Canadian universities are rotten to the core

Our universities are doing just fine — so long as we overlook the misalignment of degrees to labour markets, administrative bloat and budget shenanigans, the foreign student debacle, discriminatory hiring and, of course, the ideological monoculture that’s tolerated the heckler’s veto for decades, advanced a cadre of antisemitic profs and nurtured a subset of pro-Hamas students.

Can the ceasefire last?

The ceasefire in Gaza, scheduled to begin this morning, has been anything but straightforward. As the agreement unfolds, many have rushed to declare who are the winners and who are the losers. Yet victory does not lie with those who made the most military gains or acted most morally – it leans, perversely, towards those ruthless enough to exploit suffering without moral restraint. In this grim theatre of war the truth is far bleaker, that among the civilized, there can only be losers.

No.

A Deal That Keeps Hamas in Power Is Meaningless

Those who think that the Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group Hamas will abandon its Jihad (holy war) to murder more Jews and destroy Israel in the aftermath of the recent ceasefire-hostage agreement are mistaken.

Although the agreement may put an end to the current conflict between Israel and Hamas, it does not, in any way, reflect a shift in the radical and dangerous ideology of the Islamist group, as outlined in its 1988 Covenant. The document quotes Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood organization (of which Hamas is an offshoot), as saying: “Israel will arise and continue to exist until Islam abolishes it, as it abolished what went before.”
