Elections in Yorkshire: The Muslim Empire strikes back hard at Ye Olde England

I spent one of the happiest years of my life in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Now, I’m afraid I’d be run out of town for being Jewish. Cementing that feeling is a video that’s circulating on X showing one of the newest members of the Leeds City Council celebrating his victory with a cry of “Allahu Akbar.”

In 1981, I got accepted to the University of Leeds for my junior year abroad in England. I was absolutely devastated. I’d had dreams of strolling through the medieval streets and quads of Oxford or Cambridge. Instead, I was being banished to the desolate north to a late Victorian institution.

Day began with hope for Tories but ended with Sadiq Khan back as mayor

It was a day that began with some hope – or was it wishful thinking – that Sadiq Khan might be ousted in London by his Tory rival, heralding a revival in fortunes for party and government.

But it ended with Mr Khan cruising to a comfortable victory and an unprecedented third term in City Hall.

Reality, cold and unflinching, began to dawn the moment results started to come in.

A warning …

On a tram, you can get off when you wish, but what if there are no brakes…?. Meet the German Caliphate

Islam does not belong in Germany

Erdogan, “the moderate”, said it clearly:

“Democracy is a tram, you take it as long as you need it and then you get off”.

Millions of Muslims in Europe, from where incredible videos arrive, must be thinking something along these lines.

You have to be afraid, very afraid. Maybe one day on Europe’s streets they will also flog women who don’t wear the veil?

Inside the notorious prison where British jihadists are held

Islamic State fighters are pushed by armed guards through a labyrinth of windowless corridors. They trip over their tied ankles and tilt their heads to peek under their blindfolds, but see only the same dark hallway, with its peeling walls and broken tiles.

This is the notorious Hasakah prison complex in northeast Syria, now labelled “the world’s worst prison”. For years the media has been blocked from getting inside the facility and meeting its inmates, but The Times has been granted exclusive access.

Sweden ramps up Eurovision security amid Quran burnings and protests

Inside the Malmo Arena, Eurovision fans can expect a spectacular show brimming with colourful costumes and carefully rehearsed performances. Outside, the atmosphere may be darker: Swedish police are expecting Quran burnings, protests and a continued elevated terrorist threat.

A polarised debate surrounding the conflict in Gaza and Israel’s participation in the song contest have intensified the workload for law enforcement. About 100,000 visitors are expected in Malmo for the Eurovision week.

Don’t Become Sweden – Admitting Gazan “refugees” would be catastrophically stupid

There must be worse ideas than admitting refugees from Gaza into the U.S., but none immediately come to mind.

According to CBS News, one proposal the Biden administration is considering is “using the decades-old United States Refugee Admissions Program to welcome Palestinians with U.S. ties who have managed to escape Gaza and enter neighboring Egypt.” Another possibility is “getting additional Palestinians out of Gaza and processing them as refugees if they have American relatives.”

Canada: Oakville School Suspends, Investigates Teacher for Saying ‘Keffiyeh Reminds Her of a Terrorist’

The Palestinian “resistance” (from the River to the Sea) has been exported globally. It spring-boarded from October 7, drawing in multitudes of followers and leading them to believe that they are part of a social justice movement. They don’t realize that they are being played for fools by a movement that is rooted in Islam’s 1,400-year history. The latest example of this is an incident in Oakville, Ontario’s largest town near Toronto: “HDSB investigates after ‘harmful’ language directed at student wearing keffiyeh,” CHCH, April 29, 2024 …

Joe Biden, Dearborn Shahid, Commits Political Suicide via Hamas Appeasement

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s ill-fated 2024 presidential campaign was much criticized for being “too online.” But Democrats are no less prone to fall into that same trap. Now-Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2020 presidential campaign, which generated considerable initial buzz before it abruptly sputtered, was infamous for listening too much to left-wing TV hosts and social media blue checkmarks — not actual Democratic primary voters.

Trudeau says universities and police must be trusted to keep campuses safe for Jews vows to import more Gazans to help out

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said universities should be places where ideas are debated but they also need to be safe for students, as a growing number of encampments protesting Israel’s war in Gaza have been set up at Canadian schools.

“Universities are places where the freedom of speech, the freedom of ideas, the challenge of debate, of dialogue, of discussion about how to shape the world, how to see the world, how to go on out after university or college and lead the world are a core part of what campuses are all about,” Trudeau told reporters while visiting Hamilton, Ont. on Friday.

Hamas and Hezbollah: How Iran Is Secretly Infiltrating Europe

The terrorist threat to Europe from the Islamic Republic of Iran — and Hamas and Hezbollah, its proxies — is growing. European leaders, however, are absorbed with trying to prevent Israel from eliminating the military capabilities of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, even though that would diminish the ability of these terrorists to operate in Europe.

Even before the October 7 massacre in Israel by Hamas, Mossad Director David Barnea said in September 2023 that Israel’s intelligence services, in cooperation with their foreign partners, had prevented 27 terrorist attacks orchestrated by the Iran just over the last year, “all over the world, in Europe, Africa, the Far East and South America.”

UCLA Hamas Encampment Fanatics Get No Jail Time, and It Gets Worse From There

I can’t say I’m surprised given I predicted this, but that doesn’t make it any less absurd. According to a local news report in California, the violent pro-Hamas students who set up an illegal encampment and trashed the UCLA campus received no jail time.


From the LA Times a fawning review.

With remains of UCLA camp tossed in dumpster, Gaza activists assess the future

With the help of bulldozers, items including tents, chairs and yoga mats were removed Thursday morning from the UCLA encampment occupied by pro-Palestinian protesters and shoved into a large gray dumpster.

Packages of unopened plastic water bottles lay on the grass. Nearby, two white trucks held pieces of wood that had been used by protesters to barricade the camp. A group of four UCLA graduate students walked over to Dickson Court, the area on campus where the encampment once stood, only to learn the camp had been taken down. The action followed the arrests early Thursday of more than 200 protesters by officers in body armor, helmets and face shields.
