Canada wavers on military exports to Israel under pressure from Hamas supporters to suspend shipments

Canada has stopped issuing export permits to companies looking to sell military equipment to Israel, according to one person familiar with the matter.

The source says that Mélanie Joly’s office has issued instructions to staff at Global Affairs Canada to delay issuing permits that are required for weapons, firearms and components that could have a military use.


There is no proof of the alleged IDF depredations. This is all about winning the Islamist vote.

The trouble with defining genocide

Like a number of ‘anti-colonialists’, William Dalrymple lives in colonial splendour on the outskirts of Delhi. The writer often opens the doors of his estate to slavering architectural magazines. A few years ago, one described his pool, pool house, vast family rooms, animals, cockatoo ‘and the usual entourage of servants that attends any successful man in India’s capital city’.

I only mention Dalrymple because he is one of a large number of people who have lost their senses by going rampaging online about the alleged genocide in Gaza. He recently tweeted at a young Jewish woman who said she was afraid to travel into London during the Palestinian protests: ‘Forget 30,000 dead in Gaza, tens of thousands more in prison without charge, five MILLION in stateless serfdom, forget 75 years of torture, rape, dispossession, humiliation and occupation, IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU.’ It is one thing when a street rabble loses their minds. But when people who had minds start to lose them, that is another thing altogether.

Russia Is Winning in Ukraine. The US Should Step Up.

The Russians have taken Avdiivka, and President Joe Biden faces a tough choice: he either closes the Mexican border or loses Ukraine. The $61 billion supplemental aid package for Ukraine, which may be the minimum required to block further Russian advances, remains held up by Congress, which is unlikely to pass it anytime soon unless the administration returns to the tough border policies of former President Donald Trump. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson responded to Democrat machinations to force a vote last week by putting the House of Representatives in recess.

This is the stupidest era in history

Applauding Hamas at the Bataclan where its ISIS cohorts murdered 90 people is just one example. it gets worse.

“Islamists have understood the psychology of woke crowds, a collective version of Stockholm syndrome. Weak unbelievers who have all their contempt and give in to their fury like lambs. Horrifying.”

Thus the anthropologist Florence Bergeaud-Blackler on the images arriving from the Bataclan which provoked a torrent of reactions. The musical duo Shkoon performed on the stage of the Paris theater where ISIS killed 90 people on November 13, 2015. The band, led by a Syrian, mixes Arabic sounds and electronic music. During the concert at the Bataclan, the band performed the song “Yamma mwel el hawa”, which evokes the Israeli-Arab Palestinian conflict. The audience thus began to shout “Free Palestine” during the concert, amidst thunderous applause.

How the US Abandoned Israel under Biden

“I come to Israel with a single message: You are not alone,” US President Joe Biden said right after the October 7 massacre by the terrorist organization Hamas of Israelis, Muslims, Americans, Europeans, Filipinos and Thai visitors enjoying a Saturday holiday in southern Israel. “As long as the United States stands — and we will stand forever — we will not let you ever be alone,” Biden continued.

ZIVO: New landmark study shows ‘safer supply’ doesn’t work

Last month, harm reduction researchers published a “landmark” study claiming that Canada’s controversial “safer supply” experiment is saving lives.

But when I analyzed the underlying data with a team of addiction physicians, we discovered that there was actually no evidence that safer supply works and that the researchers had cherry picked their data and inflated positive results.

NBC’s ‘Chicago Med’ Lies, Claims Pro-Life Laws Punish Women Who Miscarry

Last night, Chicago Med promoted the dangerous lie that women who miscarry might get arrested and be denied medical care in a pro-life state.

This insidious falsehood has been pushed in liberal establishment media to deliberately create fear in women who do not know the truth about state pro-life laws, none of which ban treatment for miscarriage.

Details withheld on fired ChiCom scientists to save health agency embarrassment, MPs say

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

A special committee of MPs tasked with evaluating censored records on the firing of two scientists from Canada’s top infectious disease laboratory – researchers who worked with China ­­– says most of the information redacted from Public Health Agency of Canada documents appears to have been withheld to shield the organization from embarrassment rather than to protect national security.

The committee is recommending the majority of the documents be made public, according to a Feb. 19 letter, obtained by The Globe and Mail, that was sent to House leaders of the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP and Bloc Québécois.

Canada could find itself embroiled in a hot war it isn’t expecting: Canada Undefended

An aggressive China in the Indo-Pacific, an ambitious Iran in the Middle East, a dangerous Russia in Europe and an arms race in Asia are just some of the potential flashpoints that could erupt into a hot war that could drag in Canada.

It will be for Trudeau to decide if Canada sides with China or Iran in a future conflict.
