OPSEU officially endorses boycott of Israel, upsetting Jewish union members

Jewish members of an Ontario public sector labour union say they feel betrayed after leadership ratified a resolution supporting a contentious worldwide anti-Israel movement.

Last month, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) executive adopted a motion in support of the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) campaign that is designed to isolate and punish Israel in support of Palestinians. National Post has obtained a copy of the motion.

The mob thinks it rules Britain – and can impose its will on the rest of us

Any fair-minded person would look at the video of the incident at Manchester airport this week and agree that it merits further investigation. The footage is disturbing. It shows a man, lying prone on the floor, having his head kicked and then seemingly stamped on by an armed police officer. The man’s mother looks on in distress as his brother is also forcibly restrained by police.

Montreal city hall replaces crucifix with hijab, prompting criticism

Five years after Montreal city hall removed a crucifix, it has reopened an image of a woman with a hijab, prompting criticism from some, and support from others.

Visitors to city call now encounter the message “Bienvenue à L’Hotel de Ville de Montréal“ in an image two metres high. The picture includes a sketch of a young man wearing a hoodie and ballcap, a woman wearing a hijab, and a male senior citizen.

Courting the Antisemitic vote

A new constituency of antisemitic voters has arisen during the past year—the pro-Hamas protesters who have been using “Zionist” as a codeword for Jew, who have been brandishing signs calling for a “Final Solution.” Are those the voters candidates should court?

We’re accustomed to politicians courting the Black Vote, or the Jewish Vote, or the Youth Vote. But what about the Antisemitic Vote?

CNN correspondent John King asserted on July 21 that “there could be some risks” for Kamala Harris if she chooses Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate because “he’s Jewish.”

In other words, antisemitic voters would not cast their ballots for a Harris-Shapiro ticket. That may be true. The question is whether courting the votes of bigots should be an acceptable political strategy.

Same in Canada, Britain, France, Germany etc. etc. etc.

Sweden is turning into Europe’s Islamist hotspot

The threat of IS has been growing; not just in Europe, but the rest of the world too. This year, there has been an increasing number of foiled plots and threats that are coming from Islamic State networks in Africa. Proof of this came on Tuesday when the US Treasury sanctioned Isis networks across Africa, specifically in Somalia and Mozambique.

Sectarian Islamic politics – the future of the Western world?

It is already the case in the UK. Looking at the situation in Britain’s government, one can only ask: Where does it go from here?

Looking at England today, Paul Verlaine would rewrite: “Je suis l’Empire à la fin de la décadence”.

The great Jewish historian David Abulafia writes in The Telegraph that the “survival of the United Kingdom as a beacon of freedom” is at risk. The warning of one of the leading experts on the Middle Ages should not go unnoticed.

After 14 years of Conservative flop, Labour’s long flop begins.

Why ‘Moderate’ Muslim Ed Husain Cannot Discuss Muslim Jew-Hatred Honestly

British Muslim Ed Husain is currently a professor at Georgetown University. Previously, he was a member of the Islamic Caliphate revival organization Hizb ut Tahrir. Husain later drifted into various Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups (which included people affiliated with Hamas) and circles within the United Kingdom before allegedly disavowing all of them. Once “de-radicalized,” Husain chronicled his experience (in 2007), and subsequently created the ostensibly “anti-Islamist extremism” British organization, The Quilliam Society.

The most basic unresolved question about Husain’s metamorphosis, is why he chose to name his “Muslim anti-Islamist extremism organization”— since disbanded — after William “Abdullah” Quilliam, a lunatic, late 19th century British convert to Islam. Quilliam, a Sharia supremacist, was appointed “Sheikh ul-Islam of the British Isles,” sought the re-creation of a global Caliphate, and, in a March 1896 fatwa, supported the jihadist Sudanese Mahdist state against “infidel” British soldiers.

Deborah Lyons: Courageous leadership is needed to combat antisemitism in Canada

On October 7, Hamas terrorists launched the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust — murdering over 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking hundreds of hostages. Just nine days later, I was appointed as Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism.

Some might say that I consistently find myself in difficult jobs, during especially excruciating times, having most recently led the United Nations’ efforts in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over in 2021. But this role is different. As a diplomat, I dealt with issues that impacted Canada’s relationship with other countries, but as Special Envoy, I’m dealing with an issue that is challenging Canada’s very own relationship with itself, its social cohesion, democratic values, and national security.


This is really sad. Lyons advocates for interfaith dialogue and all the usual Kumbaya nonsense. No one buys this crap save out of touch white guilt suffering bozos like her. The Islamists are laughing at us. Pity they didn’t allow comments.

As the Olympics nears, Paris puts 75,000 troops on the streets

A scrum of disappointed tourists stared, wistfully, through the maze of metal fences lining the River Seine. Ahead of them, Notre Dame cathedral and other Parisian treasures lay, tantalisingly, out of reach.

“We don’t have a code,” said a woman from Mexico, watching others – armed with the requisite QR security code – pass, with an approving beep, through a police checkpoint.

Further downstream, beside the Eiffel Tower, a weary couple trailing large suitcases performed a slow U-turn on a crowded pavement.

What a grotesque state of affairs.

U.S. Senators sound alarm over Canada’s acceptance of Gaza refugees

Canada’s acceptance of Palestinian refugees from Gaza is setting off alarm bells south of the border.

In a letter Wednesday to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, United States Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) expressed concern over the program, which he warned could lead to an increased risk of allowing individuals with ties to terror groups easy access to the United States.

German Court Rules Syrians Can Be Deported

A court in Germany has ruled that there is no longer a general danger to all civilians in Syria, and that a convicted Syrian people smuggler can legally be deported to his home country. The ruling could significantly impact deportation cases, because the German government has so far classified Syria as an unsafe country of origin and rejects deporting failed asylum seekers there.

Austria: Teachers flee Vienna schools over mass migration, with 20 teachers quitting on a ‘peak day’

Teachers are quitting schools in Vienna in droves, with up to 20 teachers quitting per day due to the extremely stressful environments featuring mostly migrant children, many of whom do not speak German or very little German.

According to a study by the Austrian Statistical Office, around 70 percent of school-age children in Vienna do not speak German in their everyday life. Now, the rise of mass immigration has created growing problems in the Austrian school system, with the Vienna school system threatening to collapse.
