French anti-terror prosecutors have opened an investigation into two brothers suspected of plotting a “lethal and antisemitic” attack.
They say the men – described as Moroccan-Italian nationals aged 20 and 22 – were picked up last week in a car in northern France.
Officers found a loaded semi-automatic weapon, a bottle of hydrochloric acid and a flag of the Islamic State group in the vehicle, the prosecutors say.
Israel’s military claimed on Sunday that the brother of the recent Michigan synagogue attacker was a Hezbollah commander responsible for managing weapons in a unit that has launched “hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilians”.
In a statement posted on X, the IDF claimed that Ibrahim Mohamad Ghazali – brother of Ayman Mohamad Ghazali – was a Hezbollah commander within a specialized branch of the Badr unit.
VANCOUVER — The killing of Iranian-Canadian activist and mathematician Masood Masjoody has triggered alarm across Canada’s Iranian diaspora, with prominent community voices warning that the case raises broader concerns about intimidation and possible transnational repression linked to Iran’s regime.
Police have charged Arezou Soltani of North Vancouver and Mehdi Ahmadzadeh Razavi of Maple Ridge with first-degree murder in connection with Masjoody’s death. The two accused are scheduled to appear in court Monday.
Sure Gary Sure … Feds approach to Iranian regime in Canada ‘aggressive,’ public safety minister insists
A society that tolerates intolerance – as we now do – can pass as many laws as it likes against “hate” but it won’t reduce hate-motivated crimes.
We have never had as many laws against hate as exist today in Canada and yet we have never seen more hatred on our streets – as illustrated yet again by Saturday’s annual hate-fest known as the Al-Quds Day rally in Toronto outside the U.S. consulate, which was recently shot up.
News broke the other day that Winston Churchill’s image will be removed from the United Kingdom’s banknotes. (American Thinker’s Andrea Widburg did a splendid job covering that and all its implications here.)
Evidently flora and fauna are less “controversial” so we will see flowers and hedgehogs on their currency instead. That’ll work until the institutional left finds something objectionable about flowers and hedgehogs, but here we are.
Of course, any nation is free to redesign its currency at will, but this choice is consistent with the U.K.’s recent string of decisions to willingly, even lustily accelerate their own civilizational erasure.
THIS week, both the Home Secretary and the Education Secretary announced crackdowns on pro-Iran extremism.
The measures unveiled by Shabana Mahmood and Bridget Phillipson are fair but belated and disingenuous.
When news broke Thursday of the synagogue attack in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, the pattern felt grimly familiar: Another Jewish house of worship, another act of violence.
As I watched the media reports and anxiously waited for casualty numbers, it was clear that despite the different time and different place, the fundamentalist ideology that I grew up with in the Middle East has now taken hold in Middle America.
Antisemitism is rising across the West, with hatred that once lingered along the margins now appearing openly. Jewish communities feel its impact daily, from increased security at synagogues to harassment on college campuses and families hesitating to display their Jewish identity in public.
In a scene straight out of a dystopian nightmare, self-styled “Sharia patrols” on horseback charged through Manchester’s streets on March 4, 2026, chasing down peaceful demonstrators celebrating the end of Iran’s brutal Islamic Republic regime.

A newly released study by the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), nearly 50 percent of Muslims under the age of 40 in Germany hold “Islamist” views, with these Muslims expressing an attraction to Islamism, a preference for Sharia law over the German Basic Law, and harboring anti-Semitic prejudices.
An imam told worshippers at a Twin Cities mosque that Muslims are the “replacement” for those who once held positions of privilege in America, declaring during a sermon that “this is our moment.”
Imam Abdul Malik delivered the remarks on Jan. 23 at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, where he urged Muslims in Minnesota to seek positions of influence across American institutions — including mayor, police chief, congressional leadership and even the presidency.

Societal transformation without representation.
“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.”
Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events.
… As of 8 p.m., Stephen Ellis, the legal counsel for the rally organizers, said he has not received a notice yet.
He told CTV News Toronto that the province won’t succeed in getting an injunction and is confident that the event will proceed.
“Mr. Ford is pandering to the most backward political elements in our society. What he’s looking to do is to pander to that section of people who are uncritically supporting Israel, no matter what it does. So, his tweet is a disgrace. I’m not surprised,” Ellis said.
When the United States and Israel launched their joint operation against the Iranian regime this month, the geopolitical map of the Middle East shifted within hours. Iran’s leadership, strategic targets, command centers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, ballistic missile launchers and nuclear facilities have been targeted in coordinated strikes aimed at dismantling Tehran’s terror machine.
This afternoon, I’ve instructed my Attorney General to pursue an injunction against the Al-Quds Day demonstration planned for Toronto.

Seems a little late in the day, is it just for show?
Edmonton’s police chief is facing criticism — and calls for his resignation — over a recent trip to meet with policing leaders in Israel.
The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) on Wednesday issued an open letter to the Edmonton Police Commission demanding answers over Chief Warren Driechel’s February visit to the country.
