The terrible evil of the witch and the satanist

Two stories have emerged in the past few days, one about a moral and spiritual crime and one about a heinous criminal act. The tie-in is that both actors believe in the supernatural, one believing she’s a witch and the other worshipping Satan. Of course, before our post-modern era, the civilized Western world frowned on both concepts. The old world was correct. In saying this, it doesn’t even matter whether witches or Satan really are tapping into supernatural forces. What matters very much is that there are people who, in thrall to their beliefs, commit truly evil acts.

Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens divide the Right on Israel

The Daily Wire commentators are now in rival camps

Recent developments in America’s conservative media landscape have illuminated deepening fissures over Israel, with implications that could ripple through the broader Republican Party. Boiling-over tensions between commentators Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro over their differing views on Israel’s actions in the conflict with Hamas exemplify this divide.

Greta Thunberg and Gen Z’s irrational hatred for Israel

Can we criticise Greta Thunberg now? For a time, anyone who raised even the mildest objection to the pint-sized prophetess of doom risked being damned as a bully. Surely this moratorium on Greta-scepticism will end following her platforming – to use woke lingo – of an activist with very iffy views. An activist who has trivialised the Holocaust and seems pretty chilled about Hamas’s pogrom of 7 October. Calling out Greta for her fact-lite blather about the planet being ‘on fire’ may have been forbidden – pulling her up for hanging out with Holocaust relativists must not be.

Israeli minister calls for widespread Palestinian emigration to West

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on Palestinians to “voluntarily emigrate” to Western countries on Tuesday in response to an op-ed by Likud MK Danny Danon and Yesh Atid MK Ram Ben Barak that was published in the Wall Street Journal and called on Western countries to accept Gazan refugees.

“I welcome the initiative of voluntary relocation of Gazan Arabs to countries worldwide,” Smotrich wrote. “This is the right humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the whole area after 75 years of being poor refugees. The majority of Gaza is fourth and fifth generations to 1948 refugees who, instead of being rehabilitated long ago like hundreds of millions of refugees around the world, were held hostage in Gaza in poverty and overcrowding and were a symbol of the desire to destroy the State of Israel and of the refugees’ return to Jaffa, Haifa, Acre, and Tiberias.”

He went on to say this has bred the hatred for Israel and Jews “upon which the population in Gaza is raised and educated” and led them to believe that the only solution is the destruction of Israel.

‘Cultural Humility’ Survey for Ontario Teachers Promotes ‘Radicalism,’ Says Parent Group

Teachers at a catholic elementary school in Thornhill, Ont., filled out a “Cultural Humility Self-Reflection” survey during a recent professional activity day, says a parent at the school.

The survey, or “self-reflection tool,” outlines how teachers should adopt specific ideas related to race and culture. Those include recognizing the “privilege” of “dominant cultures” and “systemic racism and white supremacy.” The tool urges teachers to adopt these and other ideas related to the disputed ideology of critical race theory.

Why getting rid of Hamas in Gaza is just the start

In a part of the world that has long defied peacemakers, they are questions that bring deep furrows to diplomats’ brows. If Israel clears Hamas from the Gaza Strip, what kind of government will replace it? Will it be accepted by the 2.5 million Gazans who live there – and who will be its muscle if Hamas strikes back?

The favoured candidate for the job in the United States and the United Nations is the Palestinian Authority, or PA, which exercises limited self-rule in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Last week, Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, said that a “hopefully reinvigorated” PA was “the best-case scenario”.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Only Justin Trudeau’s vanity keeps carbon tax limping along

By now, the verdict is near-unanimous: the federal carbon tax is a farce. The exemption for heating oil in Atlantic Canada put a lie to the entire project: faced with declining fortunes in the East, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blinked and chose votes over virtue. Cue the outstretched hands from the rest of the country: what about propane? what about natural gas? what about everyone who heats their house east of the Quebec-New Brunswick border?

Trudeau says Israel should take it easy hunting Hamas in nod to his Islamist supporters … Netanyahu politely tells him to get his head out of his ass

Israel should use ‘maximum restraint’ to protect civilian life in Gaza Strip: Trudeau

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is urging Israel to use maximum restraint to protect civilian life in the brutal war it is waging on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Trudeau says the world is witnessing the killing of women, children and babies, and that this must stop.

Israel declared war against Hamas after its militants killed 1,200 people on Oct. 7, including hundreds of civilians, and took about 240 people hostage.

Netanyahu responds …

Unions for Palestine – Radicalized teachers are peddling anti-Israel propaganda to our kids

On the same day that thousands of rockets rained down on innocent Israeli citizens, photos and videos emerged of people dancing in the street. This time, those images were not broadcast from Middle Eastern cities but instead filmed right here in the United States.

The examples are well-known. A man in Boston holds up a phone showing a beheaded baby and makes an obscene hand gesture to the camera, recording his laughter. A hijab-wearing woman at a Democratic Socialists of America rally says she’s glad for the Hamas attack and does not consider herself an American. Students in Cooper Union lead a pro-Palestinian rally brandishing anti-Zionist posters, shouting anti-Semitic slogans, and terrifying Jewish students barricaded in the library as anti-Israel protestors bang on the doors.
