A BBC journalist who tweeted that “Hitler was right” has now left her job following the conclusion of an internal probe, the JC can reveal.
Tala Halawa, formerly a Palestine Specialist for BBC monitoring, wrote in 2014 that “Israel is more Nazi than Hitler” and that the Israeli Defence Force should “go to hell”.
Well she has a future at the CBC that’s certain.
Police in Italy are hunting the relatives of a Pakistani girl who they think was strangled to death and buried in a shallow grave in a so-called honour killing.
Saman Abbas, 18, has been missing since May 1 when she was last seen on CCTV at a farm near the city of Reggio Emilia, central Italy, where father Shabbar, 46, worked.
Police says Shabbar conspired with Saman’s mother Nazia Shaheen, 47, uncle Hasnain Danish, 33, and cousins Nomanulhaq Nomanulahq and Ijaz Ikram, 33 and 28, to kill her and bury her body behind the farm before fleeing the country.
The father of the suspect accused of killing four members of a Muslim family in London, Ont., called it an “unspeakable crime” in a statement Thursday.
“It was with utmost shock and horror that I came to hear of the unspeakable crime committed last weekend,” Mark Veltman said.
“There are no words adequate to properly express my deep sorrow for the victims of this senseless act.”
Politicizing a tragedy.
… What is troubling about the reaction to this case is the speedy politicization of it, revealing just how low politicians are willing to stoop to exploit a profound tragedy for their own agendas. Indeed, Prime Minster Justin Trudeau quickly vowed to hunt down what he deemed to be “far right” groups — a “project” that he started a long time ago. What is highly disturbing is that Trudeau has absolutely zero evidence regarding the political leanings of 20-year-old Nathaniel Veltman — who has been charged with four counts of murder and one of attempted murder.
House Democrats have asked Rep. Ilhan Omar to “clarify” her recent comments comparing Israel and the United States to Hamas and the Taliban. What a laugh — they must have missed the last few years of Omar’s antics, through which she has made her views abundantly clear.
Omar started this debacle by saying that “we must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.”
The Iranian-backed Hamas terror group presented an award this week to the Al Jazeera news network for what the terror group described as the outlet’s “great professionalism” in its coverage of last month’s war with Israel.
I bet CBC is so jealous!
Thousands of people, including political and community leaders, gathered outside a London mosque Tuesday night to remember the members of a Muslim family who police say were intentionally struck down by a vehicle in a hate-motivated attack over the weekend. Speakers at the vigil included leaders from all the major federal and provincial parties, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford.
As Hamas indiscriminately bombed Israeli cities from May 11 to May 17, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a speech in Ankara in which he targeted both Israel and Jews with antisemitic slurs. Erdogan disseminated countless falsehoods that misinformed the Turkish public about Israel, the Jewish people, Gaza, and other issues — all the while fanning the flames of antisemitism.
American activists decrying the Christian genocide in Nigeria are asserting that jihadist violence is motivated partly by an effort to enslave women and girls.
“Most of the individuals captured by Boko Haram jihadists are young women and girls taken by force and trafficked as slave concubines,” the Committee to Free Nigerian Slaves (CFNS) said a statement.
A Canadian family and U.S. experts alike say a mentally ill man from Mississauga, Ont., who was convicted for his role in an online terror plot while a teenager shouldn’t be in a supermaximum security prison in Colorado.
Instead, they say he should be sent back to Canada where he can serve the remainder of his 40-year sentence and get the psychiatric help he needs.
Allah must love the mentally ill.
As we mourn the family of four Muslim-Canadians who were killed in London, Ont., on June 6, leaving behind an orphaned child, and as it appears that the motive of the alleged killer was hatred toward Muslims, questions are being asked about the extent of racism in this country. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh went so far as to claim that “Canada is a place of racism” and that “Muslims are not safe in this country.” But is Canada really as racist as Singh claims?
The most likely outcome of US President Joe Biden’s ill-considered attempt to revive the nuclear deal with Iran is that it will lead to a dramatic reduction in the time frame Tehran requires to build an atomic warhead.
One of the central goals of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) struck with Iran by former US President Barack Obama was to delay Tehran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons for more than a decade.
At the time the deal was agreed in 2015, intelligence experts predicted it would take it Iran about one year to develop the technological know-how to develop a nuclear warhead if Iran was allowed to continue with its nuclear activities.
The horrific killing of an entire Muslim family, allegedly mowed down in London by 20-year-old Nathaniel Veltman has left all Canadians traumatised. We had barely absorbed news of 215 dead aboriginal children at a residential school in Kamloops, when we were jolted from our collective slumber by the reality of hatred and racism that simmers just below the surface of our contrived calm exterior.
But as it is with every such tragedy, the mandarins who have crafted their leadership in ‘multicultural’ society cry victimhood without ever glancing at the mirror to vet their own prejudices.
An overwhelming majority of Swedes support the recent proposal aired by the liberal-conservative Moderate Party to task the military with assisting the police in combatting violent crime.
As many as 78 percent of respondents in a recent study by the Gothenburg-based SOM Institute argued that this was a worthy application of military force. Wholly 54 percent called it a “very important task” for the Armed Forces to assist the police in efforts against serious crime, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported.
Iran is continuing to exploit the Palestinian issue to promote its expansionist schemes in the Middle East and meddle in the internal affairs of Arab countries, including Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and Bahrain.
Iran is doing so while its representatives continue to conduct indirect negotiations with the US administration in Vienna on reviving the 2015 “Iran nuclear deal,” which Iran never signed.
Diplomats from Britain, France and Germany who are negotiating with the Iranians seem oblivious to the growing concern in the Arab world over Tehran’s support for terrorism and its ongoing intervention in the internal affairs of several Arab countries.
