Campus and Government Diversity Offices Failed Jewish Communities

Recently, Canadian universities and municipal governments have become large stages for the failure of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) branches to protect the most historically persecuted of communities: the Jews.

Hamas and Palestinian advocates have exposed a concerning flaw within DEI offices. When differing minority perspectives collide, DEI workers struggle to understand the conflict and remain impartial in their mission. Because they are radical activists, not philosophers or jurists, they revert to their inherent ideological stance: fabricate a victim, attack the presumptive victimizers, and claim political victory.

An Israeli airstrike in Syria kills a high-ranking Iranian general

BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli airstrike Monday in a Damascus neighborhood killed a high-ranking Iranian general, Iranian state media said.

Iranian officials and allied militant groups in the region vowed revenge for the killing but did not immediately launch any retaliatory strike.

The killing of Seyed Razi Mousavi, a longtime adviser of the Iranian paramilitary Revolutionary Guard in Syria, comes amid ongoing fears of the Israel-Hamas war sparking a regional spillover. Iran-backed groups in Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq have launched attacks on Israel and its allies in support of Hamas.

Four Alberta churches burned in the weeks before Christmas

Justin Trudeau started and anti-Christian pogrom based on false claims of Aboriginal mass graves at Residential schools. Nearly 100 churches have been burned down. No graves have been found.

There have been 15 suspicious church fires so far in 2023 and police have arrested suspects in five of them

While Montreal’s Notre Dame held Christmas mass after a fire, four Alberta churches stood skeletal, damaged, quiet on Christmas, set ablaze by arsonists in the last few weeks.

The four Alberta churches, in various parts of the province, are all under investigation by police. Most recently, just five days before Christmas, the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Beiseker, a village of less than 1,000 people northeast of Calgary, was burned to the ground.

Russia confirms damage to warship in Black Sea

The airstrike took place at Feodosiya in Russian-occupied Crimea early on Tuesday morning.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence said the large landing ship Novocherkassk was struck by Ukrainian aircraft carrying guided missiles.

The head of the Ukrainian Air Force said earlier its warplanes had destroyed the ship.

Benjamin Netanyahu: Our Three Prerequisites for Peace

We must destroy Hamas, demilitarize Gaza and deradicalize the whole of Palestinian society.

Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must be demilitarized, and Palestinian society must be deradicalized. These are the three prerequisites for peace between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors in Gaza.

First, Hamas, a key Iranian proxy, must be destroyed. The U.S., U.K., France, Germany and many other countries support Israel’s intention to demolish the terror group. To achieve that goal, its military capabilities must be dismantled and its political rule over Gaza must end. Hamas’s leaders have vowed to repeat the Oct. 7 massacre “again and again.” That is why their destruction is the only proportional response to prevent the repeat of such horrific atrocities. Anything less guarantees more war and more bloodshed.

Electric Vehicles: Not Holding Their Value

The failure of consumers to buy enough electric vehicles (EVs) to hit central planners’ targets is one reason that increasing efforts are being made to “encourage” them to switch over from traditional cars.

There are many reasons that EVs are, once relatively wealthy early adopters have bought theirs (typically making sure that they hang on to a spare traditional car — or two), struggling to find the hoped-for demand, but one of them is that they do not appear to hold their value.

Will The Guardians of The Narrative Win?

Much that is happening in the spectacle of America’s legal-political life today reminds me of some pages in Johan Huizinga’s great book Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture (1938). In a chapter on “Play and Law,” Huizinga distinguishes the unfolding of legal proceedings in advanced cultures, where strict adherence to process and abstract notions of right and wrong prevail, from the situation in more primitive cultures, where the ultimate criterion is victory. “Turning our eyes from the administration of justice and highly developed civilizations,” Huizinga writes, “to that which obtains in less advanced phases of culture, we see that the idea of right and wrong, the ethical-juridical conception, comes to be overshadowed by the idea of winning and losing, that is, the purely agonistic conception. It is not so much the abstract question of right and wrong that occupies the archaic mind as the very concrete question of winning or losing.”

A year of green gaslighting

It is hardly a state secret that our eco-obsessed elites want us to consume less, travel less and emit less carbon. At the centre of this miserable project has been the drive to tear people away from their cars.

Over the past few years, greens in government have launched all manner of anti-motorist schemes. There have been Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), so-called 15-minute cities and congestion charges like London’s Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Yet whenever anyone pushes back against these schemes, our green elites claim that none of it is really happening.

All I want for Christmas is a rise in birth rates

Game of Life – featuring dangerous looking white people in what may be an intact family.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

These words are from the Book of Isaiah, written hundreds of years before the first Christmas. For Christians, however, they are prophetic of the most important birth of all time.

For non-believers, though, what really gives Christmas its power over the human imagination is that it is about life, as well as light. The flame flickering in the darkness is an uncertain symbol of hope, but the newborn child is a living promise. Christmas, with its focus on the Infant Jesus — and, by extension, children everywhere — exerts a special hold on the human heart.

The WW1 Christmas Truce: ‘The war, for that moment, came to a standstill’

During the bleak winter of 1914, amid the mud, blood and chaos of World War One, an extraordinary series of ceasefires spontaneously occurred along the Western Front. In the 1960s the BBC spoke to some of the men who, over that exceptional Christmas period, decided to lay down their arms.

On Christmas Eve 1914, Rifleman Graham Williams, of the 5th London Rifle Brigade, stood out on sentry duty staring out anxiously across the wasteland of no man’s land to the German trenches. He had already endured months of the brutal violence, bloodshed and destruction that would come to characterise World War One, when something remarkable happened.

Hamas Supporters Declare War on Christmas

“Joy is canceled,” read the signs wielded by Hamas supporters protesting a Christmas tree lighting at Columbia University. While a student group tried to sing, the terror backers shrieked, “there’s no room for celebration.” And no room for anything except terrorism and hate.

Supporters of the Islamic terrorist group took a special pleasure in attacking Christianity.
