Six Biden administration actions and policies subvert Israel’s right to self-defense. Whether analysed separately or all together, they make it difficult to avoid the conclusion that the administration’s ultimate end is to undermine to the point of ending Israel’s right to self-defense, and so end Israel’s sovereignty, for all intents and purposes.
Justin Trudeau may be wishing that Stephen Maher, author of a new book on the prime minister, was a faster writer.
The book, titled “The Prince,” is laced with some significant praise for Trudeau but also some unflinching criticism, particularly as the story winds to its conclusion and the tale of the past year or so.
“If I had finished the book when I started it, it would have been more positive and cheerier,” Maher said in an interview with me this week.
An early morning shooting in Ohio kills 1 and injures 24 others
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — An early morning shooting on a street in Ohio killed one person and injured 24 others, some critically, police said.
Police said shots were reported early Sunday just after midnight in the city of Akron, where multiple victims struck by gunfire were reported. Local hospitals told emergency dispatchers soon afterward that people were arriving in their emergency departments with gunshot wounds.
Also fun fact. Look at the name of the store. We all know what this was and the media will sweep this one up cause of it. pic.twitter.com/1EkKDDvvCA

On Israel, Justin Trudeau has found himself
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has found himself.
For a while, he was lost. But the Gaza war has given him an issue he can get his teeth into.
For much of the last year, Gaza and the Hamas war were seen in Liberal party circles as problems the prime minister would do well to ignore. That’s because they highlighted the fundamental split over Israel that bedevils the party.
If the government criticized Israel, it was called antisemitic. If it didn’t it was called anti-Islamic.
On Oct. 7, Hamas had a Plan A and a Plan B.
Plan A was to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews. Plan B was to pull back, stage ambushes and cry genocide while making up fake casualties and staging atrocities until its Islamist and leftist allies managed to save it, while using hostages and their bodies as negotiating leverage.
What this unidentified woman was holding in her hand at the Little Gaza encampment on the University of Toronto’s downtown campus is unknown at this time.
However, Toronto Police say they are “aware” of a strange video from Friday showing a woman pulling down posters from the fence of the encampment and then appearing to display what onlookers described as a knife.
Knife wielder identified.

After sending hundreds of balloons loaded with trash and excrement across the border into South Korea, North Korean officials said on Sunday the effort would be halted.
“We will temporarily suspend the action of scattering waste paper beyond the border,” said the official Korean Central News Agency. “This is because our action is a thorough countermeasure.”
They warned that the balloons would fly south again if Seoul sent any anti-North Korean leaflets northwards.
Black scholars criticize white writer’s ‘dehumanizing’ use of blackface to write book on U.S. race relations
A Canadian journalist is defending his decision to travel the U.S. in blackface and write a book about racism, after facing a storm of criticism online.
“Last summer, I disguised myself as a Black man and traveled throughout the United States to document how racism persists in American society,” Sam Forster, who is white, posted Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter. “Writing Seven Shoulders was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a journalist.”
The reaction was swift and brutal, with X users expressing anger, amusement and confusion, and telling Forster he should have simply spoken to Black people to understand their experiences.
Volodymr Zelensky has criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for not doing enough in allowing US weapons to be fired into Russia as Ukraine faces the threat of a renewed invasion.
The Ukrainian president thanked Mr Biden for giving Kyiv permission to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions but said restrictions – including on the use of long-range Atacms – should also be dropped.
In a rare rebuke of his US ally, he said: “Is that sufficient? No. Why? Because I have given you the example of airfields from which Russia is permanently firing, in calm, knowing that Ukraine will not fire back because it has no corresponding systems and no permissions.”
Immigration Minister Marc Miller says comments made by Ontario Premier Doug Ford that seemingly suggested immigrants were behind recent attacks on Jewish institutions are “dumb.”
“It’s a dumb thing to say, blaming immigrants. No one was blaming immigrants for the trucker convoy,” Miller said at a press conference in Montreal.

Supporters of Tommy Robinson led an offensive chant as thousands of Met officers worked to maintain the peace across the capital on Saturday.
Protesters supporting Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, shouted “who the f— is Allah” and other anti-Muslim chants as they marched through central London in their thousands.

SINGAPORE, June 1 (Reuters) – Canada warned China against meddling in its elections during a rare meeting of the countries’ defence chiefs, its defence minister said on Saturday.
“I raised the concern of foreign interference in all the manifestations that it might take, including interference in our institutions, including our elections, but also actions of collusion against the Chinese diaspora in Canada, our citizens,” Defence Minister Bill Blair told Reuters, referring to his conversation with Chinese counterpart Dong Jun.
I bet he did.
When Tyler Thompson told his mother he was going on holiday to South Africa with his best friend, Marcel Malanga, she could not help but worry. Tyler was 21, and ready to leave his home in the prosperous suburbs of Salt Lake City to see the world. But it would be his first trip abroad, and neither of his parents had been to Africa.
A few things made her feel calmer: Marcel’s father, Christian, who lived in Eswatini, formerly Swaziland, had said he would look after the two young men, who had been on the high school football team together. He even paid for Tyler’s flights. In return, Tyler, who had been learning how to pilot drones in his spare time, would help Christian map gold mines that he ran in southern Africa. Tyler thought it would look good on his CV.
