Among the many orchestrated campaigns to demonize Israel, the targeting of Israeli doctors and medical professionals under the false flag of “human rights” is one of the most transparently cynical. Specifically, the pro-Hamas lobby is circulating a mass petition calling for the expulsion of the Israeli Medical Association from the World Medical Association.

A Winnipeg philanthropist who played a critical role in bringing the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to the city says her family is pausing any financial support for the institution over concerns around an exhibit on the displacement of Palestinians.

Gail Asper said she found elements of the exhibit — titled Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present — compelling, from interviews with displaced Palestinians to artifacts including people’s property deeds and keys for their former homes.

Toronto police are investigating after two locations of Jewish-owned Kiva’s bagel bar were targeted in separate incidents Sunday morning, including one where a window was struck by gunfire.

In multiple posts to social media, police say officers were first called to the Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue West area at around 8 a.m. after reports that a window at a Jewish-owned bakery had been struck by gunfire.

Hate crimes in Canada fell last year for the first time since 2018, but Jewish Canadians remained one of the most-targeted groups.

Police reported 4,708 hate crimes in 2025, down three per cent from 4,841 the year before, Statistics Canada said Wednesday. The decline follows six straight years of increases that more than doubled the national count between 2018 and 2024. Measured against population, the rate fell four per cent to 11 incidents per 100,000 people, still more than twice the 2018 rate.

Many Western politicians, diplomats, academics and media commentators have argued that the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group launched its October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel because of the Israeli “blockade” on the Gaza Strip, from the necessity by Israel to prevent Hamas from smuggling in weapons with the sole purpose of destroying its Jewish neighbor.

More than 100 House Democrats on Wednesday voted to zero out all American aid to Israel — a stunning shift in the level of support that the Jewish state has on Capitol Hill. The amendment from a Republican, Congressman Thomas Massie, would have stripped all aid to Israel out of this year’s annual funding bill for the state department and foreign aid. In the years since the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas on Israel, Democratic voters have shifted sharply against Prime Minister Netanyahu and continued American support for his country. One poll from the New York Times and Siena College in May found that 68 percent of Democratic voters oppose sending aid to Israel, compared to just 24 percent who said they support economic and military assistance.

Some 70 former and current staff from household‑name humanitarian and rights groups have come forward in a new report, alleging widespread “hostile behaviour related to Jews, Israel, or Israelis” inside organizations that claim to defend human rights.

Those surveyed say managers ignored, tolerated or normalized the conduct, while some staffers faced retaliation for speaking out.

Britain’s pro-Gaza marches have been sold to the public as a grassroots movement – a spontaneous outpouring of conscience by ordinary people appalled by war. A new report from the think tank NGO Monitor tells a very different story.
