How Israel and Iran are waging war in the shadows

Tehran appears to be taking espionage lessons from the Mossad spy agency as it attempts to bribe vulnerable Israelis into betraying their country

Israelis have been paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in cryptocurrency by Iran to take photographs of sensitive military sites, according to prosecutors, as evidence grows of a successful espionage operation by Tehran.

The Nevatim airbase, which was hit by Iranian ballistic missiles this month, the Golani training base, where four soldiers died from a Hezbollah drone attack, and batteries of the country’s Iron Dome air defences, were all reconnoitred by alleged Iranian spies.

Carson Jerema: Defund the professors. Every last one

It is offensive that public money — any amount — goes to universities to fund the self-actualization of professional activists masquerading as academics, but that is what is being supported. Too many professors twist and abuse their status to push whatever progressive cause they care about at the moment. It is an unforgivable use of tax dollars.

No one has destroyed the reputation of experts more than the so-called experts themselves, who expect their opinions to be given greater weight because of their credentials, even when they are spouting obvious gibberish.

The Biden – Harris Iran Scandal Gets Worse

The source of last week’s leak of U.S. intelligence about Israel’s plans to strike Iran, which has occasioned an investigation, isn’t yet known. What should be obvious, though, is that no individual who has had extensive contact with Iranian intelligence and diplomatic officials, and who has deferred to the direction of those officials before, should have ever been put in a sensitive position in the first place.

The Biden administration has ignored this rather simple rule.

Moment 2,000lb bomb hits Beirut building in Israeli airstrike

A month after Israel escalated its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, airstrikes continued to hit Beirut on Tuesday including one 2,000lb bomb which was caught on camera hitting and destroying an apartment building.

A burst of images showed the descent of the bomb before it slammed into the multistorey block in the city’s Ghobeiry neighbourhood, quickly reducing it to rubble.

West’s Political Elites Mourn the Death of a Terrorist Group

It took the world community nearly a year to condemn the war in Lebanon, but they got the wrong mark. Instead of condemning Hezbollah, the world’s largest Iranian proxy terrorist army, with an estimated 40,000 – 50,000 fighters, for starting a year-long war on October 8, 2023 in support of the terrorist organization Hamas, the West’s political “elites” condemned Israel for defending itself by targeting Hezbollah’s leadership.

Pentagon suspects employee of Iranian origin in Israeli strike plan leak – report

The Pentagon has reportedly named Chief of Staff of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations, Ariane Tabatabai, as the prime suspect for an alleged leak of classified documents, Sky News Arabia reported on Tuesday, citing a senior Pentagon official.

Tabatabai, an American of Iranian origin, is also an officer in US Naval Intelligence.

Her name has been bandied about for some time as someone to watch. This deliberate carelessness speaks volumes about the Biden-Harris admin.

Jesse Kline: CBC lets Hamas apologist cheer Sinwar unchallenged

Thirteen years ago, U.S. President Barack Obama stood in front of the world and announced that, “The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaida and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.” The death of the mastermind of 9/11, nearly 10 years after the attacks took place, was generally well received throughout the western world.

Yahya Sinwar may have ordered Hamas to execute hostages if killed – report

Former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar may have issued an order to execute all remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza if he were to be killed, The Telegraph reported on Tuesday, quoting leading Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin.

Baskin, who played a key role in the 2011 negotiations that secured the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit in exchange for over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, including Sinwar himself, described the current situation as “a moment of either opportunity or doom.” He explained that if the rumors are true, the fate of the remaining 101 hostages in Gaza, at least 60 of whom are thought to be alive, could be dire.

Howard Levitt: How Canadians can beat back pro-Hamas hatred

Instead of solemnity over the anniversary of October 7, an event replete with rapes, beheadings and the torture of innocent civilians, the alliance between Islamists and large sections of the Canadian left expressed themselves with jubilation, triumphant announcements, the burning of the Canadian flag and calls for the destruction of Canada, the United States and Israel.


I don’t have the faith the author does in our courts and law enforcement.

The Hamas supporters are not interested in winning hearts and minds they seek to win by intimidation.

It will get much worse if our imbecile politicians continue to import Islamist settlers.

We are progressive Jews who have been let down by our community leaders

… These stories also inform our shared conviction that the subjugation of Palestinians is a moral catastrophe. And we are part of a growing movement of progressive Canadian Jews that feel the same. We are not an insignificant minority as some would make us out to be. We are a substantial force within the Jewish community, representing the long history of Jewish involvement in social justice movements — from the Bund, to Jewish civil rights activists, to Jews who helped build Canada’s labour movement. The fight for justice, equality, and human rights is a central tenet of modern Jewish identity.


Just a theory but I think these are the folks who push for multicult, DEI and the mass import of Muslims.

Harris genocide accusation ‘shocking,’ says former Israeli ambassador

Former Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren on Sunday called for the White House to state unequivocally that Jerusalem is not committing genocide in Gaza, after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to equivocate on the issue.

The Democratic nominee for president appeared to suggest at a campaign event in Milwaukee that the Jewish state was committing genocide, in an incident involving an anti-Israel heckler.

Hamas leader’s death ‘may boost UK terrorist groups’, says ex-MI6 chief

Islamist terrorist groups in the UK could get a “boost” after the death of Hamas’s leader, a former head of MI6 has said.

Yahya Sinwar, the chief architect of the October 7 attack on Israel which murdered about 1,200 people in the south of the country, was killed by the IDF on Wednesday.

Sir John Sawers, who led the UK’s foreign intelligence agency between 2009 and 2014, told Sky News that “Islamic terrorism may actually get a further boost, if that’s the right word, from events in the Middle East”.

It’s getting harder to recall a time when the west did not have to worry about Muslim terrorists.

In Death, Hamas Leader May Have Won Wider Support Than When He Was Alive

Across the Arab world, U.S.-aligned governments find themselves in difficult positions as clerics and citizens praise Yahya Sinwar

For more than a year, Mustafa Muhammed, a displaced Palestinian, had sensed other Gazans living in tents there turning against Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader who orchestrated the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Some people sleeping on the street or among the debris of their homes after waves of Israeli bombardments were growing openly scornful, he said.

That is, until Sinwar was killed—not deep in a tunnel, or fleeing Gaza, as many people suspected would be the case, butdying in an encounter with Israeli soldiers in the south of the strip.

Sinwar’s final moments were on display in a video released by Israel that apparently showed the Hamas chief critically injured, throwing an object at a surveillance drone shortly before his death. When Gazans saw the footage, many changed their minds, Muhammed said.
