“Oct 7 2023”

In the 1976 movie, Network, Academy Award winning actor, Peter Finch plays a veteran news anchorman, Howard Beale. Beale, mentally unbalanced and upset that the network is letting him go, utters his famous on-air tirade, “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.” At his urging, viewers express their own built-up anger by repeating his mantra.

Two former Israeli intelligence agents have revealed how members of the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah used Israeli made walkie-talkies booby-trapped with explosives for 10 years before they were detonated in a surprise attack in September this year.

The two ex-Mossad agents told US CBS News how the service duped Hezbollah into buying thousands of rigged walkie-talkies and pagers without realising they were made in Israel.

Dozens of people were killed and thousands injured in the attacks. Israel said it was tailored to target only Hezbollah members, but civilians were among victims, Lebanese officials said.

Antisemitism in the West, which has risen to unprecedented levels since the October 7 attacks on Israel, is being deliberately driven by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with links to Palestinian terrorist organizations.

One of the most active NGOs, Samidoun (“Steadfast”), a “Vancouver-based terrorist group,” was founded in 2012 — ostensibly to “assist Palestinian prisoners” — by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist organization in the United States, European Union and Canada. In practice, Samidoun is a front for the PFLP. The PFLP is an active terrorist organization, which participated in the October 7, 2023 atrocities, including in hostage taking, and shared celebratory videos and other material of the massacres online.

Toronto police say the service’s hate crime unit is investigating after a Jewish girls elementary school in North York was shot at for the third time this year.

In a brief social media post, police said they were called to Bais Chaya Mushka Girls Elementary School at about 2:33 a.m. Friday.

Responding officers found “evidence of firearm discharge,” according to police. No injuries were reported.

In a first test case for warrants issued by a global court at Hague, Poland is announcing it would arrest Prime Minister Netanayahu of Israel if he attends the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, where an estimated 1 million Jews perished as part of the genocidal Nazi war against them.

“We are obliged to respect the provisions of the International Criminal Court,” Poland’s deputy foreign minister, Władysław Bartoszewski, who is charged with organizing the ceremony, claimed Friday, according to the Polish-language newspaper Rzeczpospolita. Dozens of world leaders are expected to attend the January 27 ceremony.

Jewish leaders fear that a provincial investigation into a field trip authorized by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), during which students participated in anti-Israel chants, is too limited in its scope.

In September, students from 15 TDSB schools attended the Grassy Narrows River Run rally in downtown Toronto. The demonstration was framed as an opportunity to learn about mercury contamination and Indigenous access to natural resources but featured anti-Israel chants and signage. Parents said they were informed that students would “observe and learn,” but not participate, as the crowd made its way to the provincial legislature at Queen’s Park.

Former climate icon Greta Thunberg, revered by politicians, the media and church institutions as a modern-day saint, has hit rock bottom.

The innocent girl against the forces of evil; the young woman acting for higher motives; the penniless rebel; all tropes describing Greta that have gained popularity in recent years.
