The Liberal caucus found itself, once again, a house divided as the United Nations’ top court met this week to hear arguments put forth by South Africa that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
As the first day of hearings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) convened on Thursday, two Liberal MPs, Iqra Khalid and Omar Alghabra, released separate statements on X in support of South Africa’s submission against Israel.
Pro-Palestinian marchers chanting “jihad” at a protest on Saturday should be arrested, the government’s independent adviser on political violence and disruption has said.
Lord Walney added that protest organisers should contribute to the spiralling costs of policing as up to 200,000 people are anticipated in London for the first big demonstration of the year.
Police sources anticipate that the military action in Yemen will add to the crowds expected at the protest and that about 1,700 officers will be on the streets, some brought in from outside Scotland Yard.
For the second time in a few months, officials at Toronto’s SickKids Hospital have placed a staff member on leave while they investigate allegations of supporting Hamas and creepy anti-Semitic words that would be considered ugly in any setting, let alone a place that is supposed to be focused on treating children.
Four Royal Air Force Typhoon jets slipped into Yemen’s airspace in the early hours of Friday morning, loaded with 230kg Paveway IV precision-guided bombs intended to pound rebel positions.
With a range of just 16 miles, the bombs were likely carried inland and then launched as part of a night-time raid responding to Houthi attacks on the Royal Navy in the Red Sea.
Explosions soon lit up the sky as an airbase, military camp and the Houthi’s Al-Masirah television station were targeted before the warplanes banked away to return to base, videos on the ground in Yemen show.
A Brampton house that just sold at a $640,000 loss – after it was listed a handful of times – speaks to the state of the market in the outskirts of Toronto, real estate experts say.
The detached two-storey house, located at 27 Jacksonville Drive, sold for $1.7 million on Jan. 5.
The house sold for $2.3 million two years earlier in January 2022.
A Jewish man who lost family in the October 7 attacks was jeered at by protestors who made pig noises and pretend horns while at a San Francisco council meeting.

A Montreal man has been charged with inciting hatred toward an identifiable group after allegedly making anti-Jewish statements on social media.
Houssem Hammami, 37, faces one count of public incitement of hatred, according to a charge sheet filed with the court on Wednesday. The alleged offence happened between Oct. 14 and Nov. 1, 2023, according to the court document, which alleges the accused’s actions “is likely to result in a breach of the peace.”
The director of a Russian state propaganda TV channel was found poisoned in her home last weekend at Krasnodar, some 400 miles south of Ukraine. A bomb disrupted rail traffic Sunday at Nizhny Tagil, home to the world’s largest tank factory, 1,400 miles east of Ukraine.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested last week for torching a $50 million SU war jet, at Chelyabinsk, 1,100 miles east of Ukraine’s border. A TV announcer who said that Ukrainian children should be drowned is struggling to recover from near fatal poisoning at Moscow, 400 miles north of Ukraine.
Two Voice of America staff members posted blatantly anti-Israel material on Facebook in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre and continuing through the Houthis’ ongoing campaign against civilian vessels in recent weeks, a review of their profiles by National Review found.
One of the posts appeared to call for the elimination of Israel in 2024. Even those that did not urge the country’s destruction clearly backed Palestinian or Hamas narratives, an ostensible violation of Voice of America’s standards guidance.
Jews and Israelis underestimated the profound effect that the anti-Jewish narrative, coupled with a half-century of funding intersectionality,critical race and ANTI-ISRAEL theories, etc. would have on the coming generations.
Several weeks ago, Matti Friedman published a very astute piece about Hamas’ understanding about global Jew hatred–and the failure of Israeli and American Jewish organizations to do so. Just as the Israeli government did not anticipate the kind of attack that Hamas launched on 10/7, so too, did Jews and Israelis underestimate the profound effect that the anti-Jewish narrative, coupled with a half-century of funding intersectionality,critical race and ANTI-ISRAEL theories, etc. would have on the coming generations of students, professors, journalists, human rights activists, and public intellectuals in America.
We now see what their underestimation has led us to–a globalized Intifada, peopled by activists who have learned their public performance “tricks” from Act Up, Blacks Lives Matter, anarchists, anti-capitalist Marxists, and Democratic Socialists.
If you’ve heard that the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda is going away, don’t believe it. An emerging practice at elite medical schools segregates students by race to teach them about alleged structural racism in healthcare.
The University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine requires that first year students take a class called “Structural Racism and Health Equity” as part of the standard curriculum. In one exercise for the course, students divide by racial group and retreat to different areas to discuss antiracist prompts.
This is known as racial caucusing, a teaching device that UCLA describes as an “anti-racist pedagogical tool” to “provide a reflective space for us to explore how our positionality—particularly our racial identities as perceived within clinical spaces—influence our interaction with patients, colleagues and other staff.”
When you tune into the news, chat with neighbors, or even overhear conversations in a diner, it’s impossible to ignore the constant buzz about the laundry list of disasters unfolding across the US. It feels like every time you turn around, there’s another train derailment, a plane incident, or a military crisis. It’s one calamity after another. One individual who’s keenly aware of what’s going on is Elon Musk. He’s taken such a strong interest in these so-called random “calamities” that he recently shared a thought-provoking article on the topic that’s sure to stir up quite a bit of controversy.
You know why the judge let provocateur Ray Epps off the hook for his antics before and during the so-called J-6 “insurrection,” don’t you? Well, yes, it was partly because he was acting at the direction of blob officials, most likely the FBI, but possibly the CIA, Defense Intelligence, or some black-box fed outfit no one ever heard of (but somehow gets half a billion in funding every year). Ol’ Ray pleaded to one year’s probation (no jail time), 100 hours of community service (checking books out at his local library?), and a $500 fine. Say, what. . . ? A speeding ticket on the Rockville Pike would probably cost you more.
When three Arab Muslim students were shot and wounded in Burlington, Vermont, politicians and the media immediately hyped it as the ‘Islamophobic Crime of the Century’.
Marius Gustavson, 46, known as ‘eunuch maker’, allegedly oversaw ‘lucrative’ UK body modifications group
The ringleader of an extreme body modifications group who was known as the “eunuch maker” claimed £18,500 in disability benefits after willingly having his leg amputated, a court heard.
Marius Gustavson, 46, was the mastermind of a “lucrative” and “widespread” extreme body modifications enterprise in which procedures – including the removal of genitals – were filmed and streamed on his pay-per-view website, the Old Bailey was told.
