Hamas military leader in Gaza objects to ceasefire plan, BBC understands
The BBC understands that mediators have made contact with the head of Hamas’s military wing in Gaza, who indicated he does not agree to new US ceasefire plan.
Izz al-Din al-Haddad is thought to believe the plan was designed to finish Hamas, whether the group accepts it or not, and so is determined to fight on.
US President Donald Trump’s 20-point framework to end the war – which has already been accepted by Israel – stipulates that Hamas disarm and have no future role in governing Gaza.
I’m shocked.
Derek Finkle: Academics trying to gaslight residents terrorized by safe injection site crime
Residents near an injection site in the west Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale have been raising concerns for years about illegal drug activity around the perimeter of the site. They were hoping some solutions would be tabled when the executive director of the Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre, Angela Robertson, called a meeting on July 17 to address the community’s escalating concerns, including a disturbing video of a fight in an adjoining park while a member of the site’s controversial security firm looked on.
Israel intercepts Gaza flotilla, says blockade not breached; Greta Thunberg rejected by sharks
Israel’s navy intercepted the large flotilla attempting to break its maritime blockade on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, after the military issued a final warning for the pro-Palestinian fleet to change course.
The Israeli Navy operation, which came as the country marked Yom Kippur, began on Wednesday evening and continued overnight and into Thursday.

Because nothing says “Human Rights” like dancing on a Hamas funded party boat for a month and then forcing fasting Israelis to break their indigenous holy day to deal with you and your bullshit. pic.twitter.com/L9l0gRhpVH

The flotilla participants are taken into custody at the port of Ashdod and from there are deported from Israel. The Foreign Ministry publishes photos of them and writes: "The passengers are healthy and safe."

How Activists Shape Education Policy in Canada, Often Against the Wishes of Elected Officials
Alberta recently became the latest province to be subjected to legal action by activist groups on parental rights and school legislation. But there have been many other examples, including in the case of Saskatchewan’s pronoun law, and Ontario’s sex-education revamp that Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives had campaigned on before winning the election in 2018.
Nadine Ness, director of Saskatchewan-based grassroots group Unified Grassroots, says it’s not right that unelected school administrators and activists get to overrule elected governments—who reflect the will of the public who voted for them—on parental rights.
“The only people it serves are certain teachers and the government, and that is more harmful to students than we can ever imagine,” Ness, who is a mother of four, told The Epoch Times.

Canada’s new warships could be obsolete by delivery time
Two small motorboats collided off the west coast of Vancouver Island this past summer, causing a large explosion. The crash was just a demonstration, conducted by the Royal Canadian Navy with equipment from a British defence contractor. But the technology on display has serious implications for Canada’s procurement of 15 large warships known as River-class destroyers.
The small motorboats used in the demo, called hammerheads, are designed for hunting and eliminating large naval vessels. Instead of having a crew, they are remotely controlled over a satellite link.
Rochdale grooming gang leader sentenced to 35 years in prison
A market stallholder who groomed and raped two schoolgirls in Rochdale has been jailed for 35 years.
Mohammed Zahid, 65, also known as “Boss Man”, gave free underwear from his lingerie stall at Rochdale Indoor Market to both teenagers, with money, alcohol and food, in return for the expectation of regular sex with him and his friends.
Zahid and six other men were convicted in June of various sexual offences against the two white teenage girls, who did not know each other, between 2001 and 2006.
Why police forces must refuse Ottawa’s firearms confiscation scheme
The federal government’s Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme is not about public safety. It’s about control, optics, and votes.
Canadians aren’t stupid.
They know the difference between chasing violent criminals and harassing law-abiding sport shooters.

Jamie Sarkonak: Vancouver’s undemocratic mission to hide reconciliation payments
You aren’t supposed to know that Vancouver planned to pay the Musqueam First Nation $33,500 to participate in the renaming of Trutch Street to the indecipherable šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street. Such information, says the city, could harm Indigenous interests and thus warrants secrecy. That’s how reconciliation works in B.C. as of 2021.
This Well-Funded Legal Org Works To Protect Antifa Terrorist Cells From Prosecution
When President Donald Trump designated Antifa a domestic terrorist organization last week, critics attacked the move, calling Antifa merely an idea.
Ideas don’t need lawyers, yet the Antifa-affiliated nonprofit National Lawyers Guild (NLG) exists in part to offer legal services to other Antifa organizations. NLG describes itself as anti-fascist, and it is directly connected to violent Antifa protest groups and individuals, because it shows up at their demonstrations, protests and riots, and advocates for those who get arrested.
