“Oct 7 2023”

Francesca Albanese is infamous for her antisemitism. She has an extensive curriculum vitae, but her official position is “United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.” Long before the October 7 terror attacks in Israel, she was a part of the UN and media bombardment of propaganda regarding Palestinian victimhood, Zionist oppression, the “occupied territories” and the like. Albanese seized on October 7 with further vitriol against the Jewish state. Her hatred of Israel is so open and virulent that in July 2024, even the anti-Israel UN opened up a probe into allegations that she took funds from pro-Hamas lobby groups. Of course, the UN is unlikely to conduct a full or completely honest investigation into someone who shares its institutional views. Nevertheless, the UN finally did admit that it paid for Albanese’s anti-Israel lobbying trip to Australia and New Zealand. During her visit, Albanese also participated in media and fundraising events, as well as in meetings with pro-Palestinian politicians and civil society members.

Israel launched multiple air strikes on Iran in the early hours of Saturday, in response to what the Israeli military called “months of continuous attacks” from Tehran and its proxies.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says Iran has been “relentlessly attacking Israel” since 7 October 2023.

The IDF’s confirmation of strikes on Iran followed earlier reports by Iranian state media of several explosions in and around the capital, Tehran.

Israel has delayed its retaliatory strike against Iran because of a leak last week of potentially sensitive military information from the US.

The leak revealed Israel’s well-advanced plans to respond to a salvo of nearly 200 Iranian ballistic missiles fired against it earlier this month, which was a retaliation by Tehran for Israel’s attacks on its Middle Eastern proxy groups.

Samidoun, the anti-Israel advocacy group based in Vancouver that was recently added to Canada’s terror list, is threatening to sue Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for “recklessly and maliciously” accusing Samidoun of being a terrorist entity.

I bet Trudeau caves.

An organization that sends volunteers from Canada — and other parts of the world — to work on Israeli military bases is facing a renewed legal challenge, alleging its recruiting efforts violate a federal law against inciting Canadians to join a foreign army.

The non-profit group Sar-El says it has recruited more than 40,000 volunteers from over 30 countries since the Israel-Hamas war broke out last year — to provide logistical support to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), such as packing supplies and cleaning and repairing equipment.

Best line – “They’re tourists who want to help”

They do not officially serve in the IDF or anywhere near the frontlines, they do menial chores that at worst could be argued frees up soldiers for combat.

The usual suspects are appealing the case. I am fatigued at the thought that I recognize their names.

The former Université de Montréal lecturer who participated in a fracas inside Concordia University last Nov. 8, and was recorded calling Jewish women “whores” and told Jewish students to “Go back to Poland,” has been arrested in France for ‘apology of terrorism.’

Authorities in Tehran released a blood-splattered mural depicting photos of Israeli hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 with the text “no hostage will be released” in Hebrew, Iran International and local media reported.

The mural was reportedly put up in Tehran’s Palestine Square on Tuesday, according to Tehran Times.

The IDF has disclosed intelligence information and numerous documents found in the Gaza Strip confirming the military affiliation of six Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations.

They are: Anas Jamal Mahmoud Al-Sharif, Alaa Abdul Aziz Muhammad Salama, Hossam Basel Abdul Karim Shabat, Ashraf Sami Ashour Saraj, Ismail Farid Muhammad Abu Omar, and Talal Mahmoud Abdul Rahman Aruki.

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.

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.

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.
