SHOCKA! Muslim – Jewish Relations In Canada Considered Bad By Many According To Poll

OTTAWA — As conflicts continue to erupt around the globe, a new survey suggests that Canadians are anxious about relationships between groups here at home — particularly between Muslim and Jewish Canadians.

The survey of 1,578 Canadians, conducted by Leger Marketing for the Association for Canadian Studies between Jan. 17 and 19, 2025, asked respondents for their perceptions of relations between Muslim, Jewish, Indigenous, white and other Canadians.

Across Canada, 43 per cent of respondents said the relationship between Muslim and Jewish Canadians was “bad.”

As expected the Islamist apologists are out in force …

Deborah Lyons, Canada’s special envoy on combating antisemitism, said in a media statement that public perceptions of the relationship between Canadian Muslims and Jews don’t always reflect real life. “In truth, these communities share far more in common than many assume, including resilience and perseverance in combating hate and discrimination,” Lyons said.

“This may indeed be what Canadians think, but it reflects a false and widespread misconception that Israel-Palestine is fundamentally a religious conflict between Jews and Muslims, rather than a political issue about human rights and international law,” Bueckert said.

Hostages Or Levy, Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami freed from Hamas captivity in ‘dire’ condition

Released hostages Or Levy, Eli Sharabi, and Ohad Ben Ami crossed the border into Israeli territory on Saturday and arrived at the initial reception point after they were transferred to Israeli forces by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

An initial medical examination reported to Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and Sheba Medical Center revealed that the former hostages were in serious condition. They appeared starved and may have lost some 30% of their overall weight.

Immigration lawyers accuse Ottawa of stalling on visa approvals for thousands of stranded Gazans

Almost 5,000 Palestinians who applied last year to take part in a special Ottawa program to help them flee war-torn Gaza and join relatives in Canada have been deemed eligible by the government, but so far only 620 – or fewer than 15 per cent – have arrived.

Immigration lawyers representing Palestinians and their Canadian relatives are accusing the government of deliberately stalling applications, and are urging officials to take advantage of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and reopening of the Rafah crossing to press Israel to allow applicants still in Gaza to exit.

NO Hell NO. Good comments.

Make Gaza great again?

Gaza – de-Hamas’d

Much of Tuesday’s press conference between Trump and Netanyahu deserved 10-point headlines.

Netanyahu got what he wanted…the green light to finish up against Hamas. The war will go on. Israel still has scores to settle.

Trump is not enthusiastic about this, but he’s going along from a sense of friendship toward Netanyahu and Israel.

This is something Israel needs to do, for security, for pride, and he is Trump, not Biden, who hindered Israel at every turn.

In a statement, Hamas said that the Palestinians will “confront the plan with resistance and necessary force.”

Man arrested after allegedly telling Toronto police he was part of a terrorist group

Toronto police say they have arrested and charged a 38-year-old man from Vaughan, Ont., after he made threatening statements during a demonstration near Bathurst Street and Shepard Avenue W. on Sunday.

Police say the man approached an officer during the demonstration and claimed to be a member of Kahane Chai (Kach), which Public Safety Canada classifies as a terrorist entity.

According to Public Safety Canada, Kahane Chai is an extremist Jewish group that advocates for all Arabs to be expelled from Israel, among other things.

Muslims fear backlash over February’s daily scheduled hate parades

Community groups say Canadians are scared as Trudeau warns hate crimes are rising

Zaid Al-Rawni is CEO of Naseeha Mental Health, an organization that operates a mental health hotline. He said his organization has seen a 600 per cent increase in distress calls in the past year.

“It’s causing them a lot of social anguish,” said Al-Rawni. He added that most of the hotline’s users are Muslim and many are feeling that their faith is being questioned by other Canadians.

No one has any questions about Islam. We know it’s a supremacist murder cult.

Trump lays out exactly how he plans for US to take over Gaza

President Trump on Thursday laid out how his proposed US takeover of the Gaza Strip would unfold, insisting it wouldn’t need military action and would ensure that “stability for the region would reign.”

“The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting,” Trump stated in an early morning Truth Social post.

“The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region,” he continued, with a knock on the Democratic New York senator.

Interesting and supportive take by Murray

Trump’s Gaza Plan Has Many Pitfalls, Hamas Among the Biggest

President Trump took the world aback with his declaration that the United States was going to “own” Gaza and move out the Palestinians there to build “the Riviera of the Middle East.” As unrealistic and bizarre as it may seem, Mr. Trump was pointing to a serious challenge: the future of Gaza as a secure, peaceful, even prosperous place.

A former French ambassador to Washington, Gérard Araud, put the dilemma neatly. “Trump’s proposal for Gaza is met with disbelief, opposition and sarcasm, but as he often does, in his brutal and clumsy way, he raises a real question: What to do when two million civilians find themselves in a field of ruins, full of explosives and corpses?”

Of course the Muslim Party of Canada is against Trump’s fabulous plan for Gaza…

The audacity of Trump’s Gaza plan

Some moments in history demand recognition, not just for their weight in the present but for the seismic shifts they herald. The Trump-Netanyahu press conference was one such moment – not a perfunctory diplomatic exercise, nor a routine reaffirmation of alliance, but an unambiguous declaration of intent. It was a disruption of long-entrenched, failed orthodoxies and the unveiling of a vision that dares to reimagine the Middle East in starkly different terms.

For decades, world leaders have clung to exhausted formulas – peace processes built on illusion, agreements predicated on fantasy, and a wilful refusal to acknowledge the fundamental realities of Palestinian rejectionism and terror. That era is now over. Standing together, the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel made it unmistakably clear: they are not here to mollify, to equivocate, or to perpetuate the cycles of appeasement that have long defined western diplomacy towards the Arab-Israeli conflict. They are here to reset the board entirely.

Is Trump’s Gaza Plan A Bluff?

Trump’s Gaza plan: bluff or not, one man benefits

As President Trump laid out his plan to relocate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to “countries of interest with humanitarian hearts”, Binyamin Netanyahu sat next to him, smiling wordlessly and nodding along.

Many commentators agreed that the proposal was too audacious to take seriously. But in pledging a US takeover of Gaza, the president handed the Israeli leader a political lifeline.

Netanyahu, in Washington on a week-long diplomatic mission, has faced threats back home from far-right members of his cabinet to quit the coalition underpinning his government if the war ends with Hamas still in control in Gaza.

Meanwhile …

Trump’s Gaza plan will be seen as flying in face of international law

When US President Donald Trump began speaking 10 days ago of Gaza as a demolition site, calling to “clean out that whole thing”, it wasn’t clear how far these were off-the-cuff remarks.

But in the lead up to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit, in his Oval Office comments before the meeting, and in the press conference itself, it’s now clear he is profoundly serious about his proposals.

They amount to the most radical upending in the established US position on Israel and the Palestinians in the recent history of the conflict; and will be seen as flying in the face of international law.

Trump proposes U.S. control of Gaza, permanent displacement of residents

President Donald Trump on Tuesday proposed that the United States take a “long-term ownership position” over Gaza, moving its residents to a “good, fresh, beautiful piece of land” in another country and rebuilding the war-torn territory under U.S. control, offering a vision of mass displacement likely to inflame sentiments in the Arab world as he welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House.

Trump’s proposal was likely to provoke a furious reaction from many Palestinians as well as their Arab allies in the region, since it suggested permanently removing Gaza’s 2.2 million residents from Palestinian territory and settling them outside of their land. It would also pull the United States even more deeply into the conflict by taking over territory that belongs to Palestinians.

The idea was a first indicator of Trump’s swaggering approach to the region, as he waded into a generations-old conflict with the assurance that he could resolve what years of efforts by U.S. diplomats have failed to accomplish. His proposal appeared to give little consideration to what Palestinians have said they want

Zionist Organization Naming Names in Light of Trump’s Executive Order Targeting Terror Sympathizers in America on Visas

In light of President Trump’s executive order that paves the way for officials to revoke the visas of international students and faculty members who support foreign terrorist organizations, one Zionist advocacy group is working closely with the new administration to make sure the order gets put to use.

Betar U.S., an American Zionist organization that traces its origins to Russian author and Zionist leader, Vladimir Jabotinsky, has been compiling a list of names of pro-terror actors on college campuses, along with evidence of their infractions, for months. Now that Mr. Trump signed an executive order that calls for the deportation of foreigners, including students, who express support for designated terrorist groups, the organization is pouncing at the opportunity to hand the administration a list of names on a silver platter.
