John Ivison: Flag-burning Islamists in our streets would kill us with our own tolerance

I have spent the better part of 30 years in journalism misattributing to Voltaire the idea that I would defend free speech to the death, even if I disapproved of what was being said (it turns out it was a summary of Voltaire’s views by his biographer, Evelyn Beatrice Hall).

Yet, events since October 7th have revealed that there are, or should be, limits; that people cannot say things that incite real harm to others or society at large.

Hezbollah backs ceasefire attempts as Israel continues to target its leadership

Hezbollah leader

Hezbollah said it supported efforts to secure a ceasefire with Israel as the IDF continued to target its top leadership and the two armies sharply increased their bombardments.

“After the issue of a ceasefire takes shape, and once diplomacy can achieve it, all of the other details can be discussed and decisions can be taken,” Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem said on Tuesday. “If the enemy [Israel] continues its war, then the battlefield will decide.”

Harris voter

An Afghan national allowed into the US shortly after the Harris-Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was charged Tuesday with plotting an ISIS-inspired Election Day terror attack.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was living in Oklahoma City on a Special Immigrant Visa as he took steps to stockpile AK-47 rifles and ammunition to carry out an attack on US soil “in the name of ISIS,” according to the Justice Department.

Wikipedia labels Muslim grooming gang scandal ‘moral panic’

The title of the Wikipedia article about Muslim grooming gangs in Britain has this week been changed to include the phrase “moral panic”. Previously titled “Muslim grooming gangs in the United Kingdom”, the name was altered on 7 October to “Grooming gang moral panic in the United Kingdom”.

Every Wikipedia article has a “Talk” function which allows users to request and debate edits. The change was confirmed by a user named “Sceptre”, who wrote: “There is a consensus that, if the article is to be kept (and for the meanwhile, it is to be kept), that ‘moral panic’ should be included in the article title to reflect how the subject is dealt with in reliable sources.”

A year later, Canada’s Jews are not the same

Like most Jews, I’m not the same person I was last Oct. 6. The magnitude of what happened the next day and since then has forever changed me and the reality for Jews in Canada and abroad.

A year ago, the darkest chapter in Jewish history since the Holocaust began with the invasion of southern Israel by Hamas terrorists who carried out wide-scale atrocities and kidnapped 251 children, women and men. That hit close to home for Jews everywhere including many who have family and friends in Israel.

WARMINGTON: Mayor Olivia Chow’s snubbing of Oct. 7 ceremony called ‘outrageous’

Missing the Oct. 7 commemoration is beyond the pale of normal political behaviour or basic human decency and can’t be glossed over. For a mayor to not attend Toronto’s candlelight vigil to remember the 1,200 people slaughtered at the hands of Hamas one year ago on Oct. 7 is the final straw when it comes to Chow’s disrespect for Toronto’s Jewish community.

Those who love death vs. those who don’t love life enough to fight

Do we love our Western way of life enough to defend it from those who love death?

In 633 CE, a year after Muhammad’s death, the commander of the new Muslim armies wrote a letter to the Persian emperor, Yazdegerd III, the last king of the great Sassanid dynasty.

“Submit,” Khalid ibn al-Walid declared, “or you will be conquered by men who love death as you love life.”

To the emperor, the general must have seemed like a madman. How could the Persian Empire, standing for more than 400 years, be threatened by those who love death?

“We love death more than you love life”.

Dan Pujdak: By failing to stand against antisemitism, our leaders have shown they stand for nothing

… Is there a political cost to being associated with hate? No, it turns out, as members of Parliament like Jenica Atwin and Ahmed Hussen continue to sit as senior members of the diversity-championing Liberal caucus despite being involved in antisemitic controversies.

Should Canada fund organizations that plausibly aid terrorist activities? Yes, according to our government, which restored financial support to UNRWA despite evidence that some of the organization’s employees participated in the October 7 massacre.

John Ivison: We have strayed from freedom of expression into terrain where rape and murder are lionized

On Saturday, a self-proclaimed journalist named Samira Mohyeddin posted on X that “tens of thousands” of people were marching in Toronto to mark the one-year anniversary of “Israel’s relentless bombardment and genocide” in Gaza. The new journalism fellow at the University of Toronto’s Women and Gender Studies Institute, and former producer of CBC’s The Current, made no mention of what had prompted the “relentless bombardment.”

I can’t presume to speak to Mohyeddin’s personal politics, but her post reflects the view held by a distressingly large number of young Canadians who have formed an unholy alliance with Palestinian activists.

Afghans in Germany: Yearning to Islamize the Land

In 2015, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany swung open wide the gates to her country, and welcomed more than a million Muslim migrants with her famous — now infamous — remark that “Wir schaffen das!” “We can do this.” But in the nearly decade since, it turns out that the people and government of German “can’t do this.” They cannot integrate successfully millions of Muslim economic migrants. The government cannot turn them into loyal and productive citizens. Many of them continue to avoid employment, and instead batten on the many benefits that the generous welfare state of Germany provides: free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including vocational training), unemployment benefits (without having been previously employed), family allowances, and more. When they want more than those benefits, Muslims more often than the indigenous Germans turn to crime — street robberies, house burglaries. Some also engage in the sexual molestation and rape of German girls and women who, by their dress and demeanor, appear to these primitive Muslim minds to “be asking for it.”
