Toronto’s explosion of antisemitism prompted an appeal for help from the head of Toronto’s transit system.
In a letter from interim TTC CEO Greg Percy to Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw, Percy said staff are dealing with a worrying rise in hateful graffiti across the transit system targeting Jewish Torontonians.
“We have noticed an exceptionally high concentration of these incidents on our subway trains at terminal stations and along surface routes like College, University and Spadina,” Percy wrote in his letter.
There’s a rumour afoot that this may be due in large part to Trudeau’s Great Replacement immigration policy. OK, mum’s the word!
Israel supporters confronted pro-Palestine marchers brandishing signs comparing the Gaza conflict to the Holocaust on Saturday.
Counter-protesters from Stop Hate UK gathered near Piccadilly Circus along the route of the National Demonstration for Palestine, urging those taking part to “stop supporting terror”.
Police kept the two sides apart as the Palestine march made its way towards Whitehall.
Captured Hezbollah fighters testify that the terrorist group paid money to the peacekeepers to use their bases to conduct their operations.
For decades, United Nations peacekeepers have been promoted as critical civilian lifelines amid some of the world’s most harrowing conditions. Yet those who have already endured violence, displacement and poverty still fear that those deployed to protect them may only amplify their suffering.
Last month, Israel ignited international condemnation for firing on numerous bases belonging to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, the peacekeeping mission founded in 1978 under a Security Council resolution. While its target is Hezbollah, the Israel Defense Forces contend that the UN peacekeeping mission, largely funded by America, functioned in the pocket of the designated terrorist group.
The author of the anti-Israel book purchased by Joe Biden has criticized the president for his ‘too little too late’ purchase at a local bookshop.
The lame-duck president made headlines on Black Friday during a shopping trip at Nantucket Bookworks, holding a copy of The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017.
The book, by Columbia University professor emeritus Rashid Khalidi, was visible to the press as Biden left the store. Khalidi later remarked to the New York Post that Biden’s interest came ‘four years too late.’
OTTAWA — The Liberal government is announcing $50 million in humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen says the money will provide life-saving help such as medical assistance, food, water and protection services.
A video advocating for Canadians to support Israel in the war against Hamas was flagged for inciting hatred on YouTube and blocked from paid promotion, the creators say.
The 18-minute video, created by the Aristotle Foundation, outlines landmark events in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and accuses Canadians of understanding the situation “exactly backwards.”
With Hague’s Court mandates to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant we are witnessing the collapse of the free world.
Hamas celebrates.
Iran rejoices.
Turkey is ready to do its part with Sultan Erdogan who always gets away with bombing Kurds, Armenians and other peoples sacrificed to his Ottoman expansionist aims.
In June, the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah announced it was disbanding, laying down arms, renouncing violence and removing extremist teachings from madrassas.
An operationally independent ally of al-Qaida, JI had for decades fought to establish a radically pure Islamic state inside Indonesia, which is 87 per cent Muslim but constitutionally secular. The group also promised to turn over to the government names of its military wing members. It was a full-bore capitulation.
Avi Benlolo: Canada betrays itself by letting antisemitism thrive
A nation’s moral character is defined by how it treats its minorities. By this measure, Canada’s treatment of its Jewish population today raises grave concerns. Over the past decade, our national identity and the values we once upheld have eroded. Who are we as Canadians? This loss of identity has created a void, exploited by Canada’s detractors to instill values that clash with the country we once knew.
Across government, schools, unions, and the media, a toxic environment has emerged, fuelling hostility against Jewish Canadians. When political leaders fail to stand with Israel, it gives permission for hatred to fester at home. Actions like Mélanie Joly’s visit to Ramallah, legitimizing the Palestinian Authority despite its ties to terrorism, betray Jewish Canadians and their homeland.
The article touches on issues we’ve discussed on this blog but to my view fails by not acknowledging that the “success” of Elite approved anti-White racism is responsible for the vehemence of Canada’s current outbreak of antisemitism. Hating Whites, even white children, is perfectly acceptable in Canada and that “victory” has emboldened the antisemites.
The antisemitism we currently witness is not the result of ordinary Canadians going rogue.
It is our elites who created Canada’s toxic immigration stew.
The elites imported masses from incompatible cultures that have little connection to our western heritage and values, Jews are simply an after thought for these groups.
It was the elites not ordinary citizens who encouraged Muslim settlement, a primary source of Canada’s antisemitism.
The elites teach immigrants that Canadians are merely White skinned settler-oppressors who have no claim to the nation built and defended by our ancestors.
The elites encouraged ethnic and religious balkanization by deliberately abandoning any requirement of immigrants to assimilate into Canadian culture.
The elites deliberately impoverished Canadians simply to ensure a pool of cheap labour and future ethnic vote blocs without care for the economic and cultural wreckage that has ensued.
The elites bludgeoned ordinary Canadians who opposed their divisive immigration policy by slandering us as racists and Islamophobes.
The elites demonize and discriminate against ordinary Canadians by racist affirmative action laws and DEI witch hunts. As a longtime fellow warrior notes; “DEI weakened the white, European, Judeo-Christian majority culture so much that people no longer have an authoritative basis for determining between right and wrong and thousands of years of history were thrown out in favour of “fairness.”
Muslims aside the worst incidents of antisemitism spring from our privileged elite culture, our universities & schools, our political class, media and public service.
This morning a friend and I were musing about how good Canada was when we were children. That Canada was destroyed by our elites.
Few speak up for us, for our stolen birthright. Our voices are ignored and suppressed.
I will end with this: Batya Ungar-Sargon on antisemitism & the demonization of the working class by Jewish leadership: “The American working class is our bulwark against becoming like Canada, becoming like Europe.”
This clip will begin at roughly the 34 minute mark.
I maintain my belief that the “silence” of previously reliable support noted by the Jewish community stems at least in part from the foolish embrace of racist policies like DEI and CRT by Jewish leadership.
Being Canadian used to be a profound source of pride for us in the Jewish community. Growing up in Toronto meant living in one of the most ethnically and racially integrated cities in the world, a true mosaic of diversity and coexistence, built on the backbone of countless immigrants.
What is happening in Britain today could all too easily happen here, and that’s why every American should note the rising tide of antisemitism there, and particularly its frankly and unapologetically menacing edge.
DISTURBING! In Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in North West London, notes were spread around the streets with the writings "Zionist free zones" and "Every Zionist needs to leave Britain or be slaughtered" (written in Hebrew)
There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.
But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.
Anti-Israel protesters tried to ruin the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the second year running Thursday, with cops quickly swarming in to make more than 20 arrests.
Protesters entered the parade route at W. 55th Street and Sixth Avenue, stopping the Ronald McDonald balloon in its tracks — and prompting loud boos from parade-goers screaming at the group of about 20 to move.

The reasons not to return are clear for Rachel Amar, an evacuee from the Israeli border town of Kiryat Shmona where, only hours before Binyamin Netanyahu announced the ceasefire in Lebanon, a Hezbollah rocket hit a bus station.
Sitting in one of Tel Aviv’s finest beachfront hotels as she weighed the news of Israel’s truce and the prospect of returning home, Amar had doubts. “What are we doing here? This agreement doesn’t give us security,” she said. “We are so close [to Lebanon]. I keep imagining October 7 will happen to us — it’s a matter of luck that it didn’t.”
The far-left deputies of La France Insoumise have just quietly proposed a bill in the French National Assembly to repeal the offence of apology for terrorism. Today, the end of this legal offence would mainly benefit these same MPs, who give unlimited support to organisations close to Hamas and Hezbollah. To mark the occasion, Le Figaro Magazine has devoted a major investigation to revealing the many links between the French far Left and Islamism—at the crossroads of electoral opportunism and ideological conviction.
