An Open Letter: They turned into monsters on October 7th

They turned into monsters

In most narratives about the war in Gaza, the war does not begin where it began. The war did not start in Gaza. The war began on October 7 – exactly 50 years after Egypt and Syria invaded Israel. Palestinian Hamas terrorists committed an unimaginable massacre in Israel.

They filmed themselves as heroes and celebrated their bloodbath. Their victory celebrations continued back home in Gaza, where the terrorists dragged severely abused hostages and presented them as spoils of war to the jubilant Palestinian population. This macabre jubilation extended all the way to Berlin. In the Neukölln district there was dancing on the streets and the Palestinian organization Samidoun distributed sweets. The internet was buzzing with happy comments.

AOC, Bernie Sanders dubbed ‘sellouts’ by far-left group at NYC Jamaal Bowman rally for not being pro-Palestinian enough

Red alert!

Socialists were eating their own at a rally for Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Bronx Saturday as even more extreme leftists held a counter-event to rip “sellouts” Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for not backing Palestine enough to their liking.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez joined 300 comrades at St. Mary’s Park for a “get out and vote” rally in to support “Squad” member Bowman, who is badly behind in polls in his June 25 primary against Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a moderate Democrat.

‘Decolonisation’ is destroying our museums

ISIS decolonizes a museum

We’ve become all too accustomed to hearing about Britain’s ‘decolonisation’-obsessed museums removing certain exhibits from display. Usually, it’s a portrait of a slave trader or a painting that depicts black or brown people in a dehumanising manner. But now something more absurd is taking place in the name of decolonisation. Museums are removing exhibits because they claim that certain cultural groups either don’t want certain objects to be seen, or they have superstitious beliefs about the objects in question.

Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh are their own worst enemies. Here’s how they can use the summer to turn things around

As MPs scurried out of Ottawa’s oppressive heat this week for what is likely the last summer break before the next federal election — the fixed election is set for October 2025, but it’s difficult to see NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh supporting the Liberals’ next budget — many were looking forward to hitting the barbecue circuit and taking time to recharge. But for the parties, the reprieve from the daily to and fro on Parliament Hill is a crucial time for a reset. And they badly need it.

Report: Doormat Canada preparing to evacuate 45,000 citizens from Lebanon again

Canada is preparing to evacuate 45,000 of its citizens from Lebanon should a full-scale war break out between Israel and Hezbollah, Hebrew media reported on Friday.

The Channel 12 report quoted what it said was a tense conversation held earlier in the day between Foreign Minister Israel Katz and his Canadian counterpart Mélanie Joly. The latter was said to have told Katz that Ottawa had already sent military forces to the region in preparation for “the largest evacuation we have ever undertaken,” amid fears of an escalation in violence between Israel and Hezbollah along the border with Lebanon.

Toronto pushes stubbornly ahead with a mystifying name change for Yonge-Dundas Square

Late last year, with little notice or public debate, Toronto City Council voted 19-2 to rename Yonge-Dundas Square, the busy gathering place opposite the Eaton Centre in the heart of downtown.

The purpose was to erase the name of Henry Dundas, the prominent Scottish statesman, who stood accused of delaying the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Henceforth, council declared, Yonge-Dundas Square would be known as – wait for it – Sankofa Square. Toronto was mystified. Sankofa?

Amy Hamm: Nanny state Canada leashes law-abiding citizens as criminals roam free

We live in one hell of a chaotic nanny state in Canada.

On Tuesday, moments after reading an official city email warning New Westminster residents that their friendly dogs must be licensed, leashed and kept far away from others to ensure that everyone “feels safe,” I saw the news that an Ontario man caught on video trying to stab someone during a road rage incident had been arrested and released in a span of two days. He was in breach of two court conditions when he was arrested, too. But now he’s out on bail. We can’t allow a chihuahua to lunge at someone, but a knife-wielding man gets a pass. So much for that feeling of safety.

UFO whistleblower says he’s being threatened as congressman warns protections are a ‘joke’

UFO whistleblowers are being threatened, and protections currently in place “are a joke,” a congressman told Fox News Digital.

Lue Elizondo, who was the head of a secretive Pentagon unit that studied UFOs, said there have been threats against him and “several other whistleblowers formerly associated with the UAP [unidentified anomalous phenomena] effort for the U.S. Government.”

Will Debt Sink the American Empire?

America is cruising into an uncharted sea of federal debt, with a public seemingly untroubled by the stark numbers and a government seemingly incapable of turning them around.

In the presidential race, there’s not much partisan difference or advantage on this subject. Donald Trump and President Biden have overseen similar additions to the nation’s accumulated debt—in the range of $7 trillion in each case—during their terms. The national response to both has been, by and large, to look the other way.

History, however, offers some cautionary notes about the consequences of swimming in debt. Over the centuries and across the globe, nations and empires that blithely piled up debt have, sooner or later, met unhappy ends.
