Hamas faces ‘unprecedented battle’ against Israel, says Sinwar

Hamas is facing an “unprecedented battle” with Israel, the terror group’s leader in Gaza has said, in his first public message since the Oct 7 attacks.

Yahya Sinwar, who is believed to have been one of the masterminds of the devastating terror attack on Israel, rejected any possibility of compromising to end the war.

Hamas, he said in a letter published by Al Jazeera on Monday, is “fighting a fierce, violent and unprecedented battle against the Israeli occupation forces, and the occupation army suffered heavy losses in life and equipment”.

New York Times sparks outrage over running op-ed by Hamas mayor: ‘You have no shame or dignity’

Gaza Mayor

The New York Times ran an op-ed Sunday by Hamas’ handpicked Gaza City mayor — prompting outrage on social media from Israel supporters who slammed the Gray Lady for amplifying “Jew hate.”

The essay by Yahya R. Sarraj published on Christmas Eve comes amid fury over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s social media post that denounced Israel as a violent occupying force and likened Jesus to Palestinians.

KLEIN: Proper vetting of refugees is common sense for Manitoba

Recently, I wrote about the planned Polo Park protest by pro-Palestinian activists. Many of these protesters disrupt the lives of ordinary people, families, and Canadian Businesses. It seems like we already have many people in Canada inclined to justify terrorism and take the side of Hamas.

I can’t imagine why we would want to import more people who might be inclined to make lives miserable for normal families.

Obama shaped CIA to boost his political agenda, hired leftist activists, former agent says

Former CIA agent John Gentry said that the CIA became politicized under the Obama administration with the hiring of Democratic activists who shifted the intelligence agency leftward.

Gentry, a Georgetown University adjunct professor who served in the CIA from 1978 to 1990, details the agency’s political changes in his new book, “Neutering the CIA: Why U.S. Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-Term Consequences.”

Despite a rough 2023, Liberal MPs say spirits are high ahead of election

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is ending the year with fewer internal headwinds after some Liberals see the party regaining their footing and believe caucus anxiety over the government’s fortunes has eased slightly.

In recent months, the minority Liberals have struggled in public opinion polls, lagged in fundraising and been criticized for being out of touch with voters. Heading into the fall, Mr. Trudeau also faced internal woes with disgruntled caucus members raising concerns about his leadership and skepticism about his future after spending the summer getting an earful on the doorsteps. Four months later, that’s shifted.

Two teenage girls were randomly stabbed while enjoying a Christmas morning meal with their parents at a Grand Central Terminal restaurant — with their deranged attacker now facing attempted murder charges, authorities said.

The girls, a 14- and 16-year-old visiting from South America, were attacked at Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse around 11:25 a.m. Monday and suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds, WABC-TV reported.

The suspect, 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson, allegedly attacked the tourists after getting into a dispute with restaurant staffers who were trying to kick him out of the eatery, the outlet reported.

Terrorists kill 150 in Christmas Eve attack on sleeping Christian villages

Update 2: Death toll now 150 with 500 wounded as of December 26.

(Jos) At least 70 unarmed men, women and children have fallen to Fulani terrorists attacking at battalion strength in Central Plateau State since December 23, according to officials speaking to Truth Nigeria senior editor Masara Kim at the scene.

“At present , 70 are dead,” said Monday Kassah, Chairman of Bokkos County to TruthNigeria. Higher numbers of casualties are feared in a series of ongoing attacks targeting Christian villages in Plateau State, Nigeria. The attacks, believed to be driven by land grab and ethnic displacements, have forced thousands of residents to evacuate their homes amidst intense gunfire by terrorists speaking the Fulani dialect, according to eyewitnesses.

Why Canada’s ban on foreign buyers hasn’t made homes more affordable

Kris Wallace and Andy Ali of Vancouver say their search for a larger condo to give their family more room has been frustrating. Real estate and rental costs in the city are so high that their 26-year-old daughter is still living with them and they’re all feeling the squeeze.

A year ago, the federal government instituted a foreign buyer ban after passing the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act in 2022. The two-year ban, which came into effect on Jan. 1, barred non-citizens, non-permanent residents and foreign controlled companies from buying up Canadian property as an investment.

But Wallace says that ban didn’t do much for her family.

I bet these people voted for Trudeau.

Ottawa ready to pay financial settlements to the two Michaels over their ordeal in Chinese prisons

Ottawa is willing to sign off on multimillion-dollar settlement packages for Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig to compensate them for the nearly three years they were incarcerated under harsh conditions in Chinese prisons, two government sources say.

Federal lawyers are in compensation talks with the two men and are hoping to conclude financial settlements early in the new year, the sources say. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to discuss the delicate legal negotiations.
