UK politicians and campaigners call for reparative justice for African slave trade

Politicians, campaigners and community groups are uniting for the first time to make “a very distinct and clear call for reparative justice” at an inaugural reparations conference this weekend.

The all-party parliamentary group for Afrikan reparations (APPG-AR), a group of cross-party MPs, is hosting its first reparations conference in Euston in north London to collectively agree on a common statement with stakeholders and grassroots campaigners that can be used by MPs to push forward a policy for reparative justice in the House of Commons.

They always seem to have the same blind spot … Exposing Africa’s Part In The Slave Trade

The Islamo-left is a menace to Jews and decency

The Western left’s failure to denounce Hamas confirms its abandonment of secularism and reason.

The more you think about it, the more horrendous it becomes. Yesterday, on the two-week anniversary of the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, thousands of people gathered in London to shout out the slogan of the killers. A mere fortnight after 1,400 men, women and children were massacred for the crime of being Jews in Israel, people amassed in central London to give voice to one of the mottos of the men who carried out that massacre. ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’, the protesters in London cried. It’s a controversial call, to say the least, and it’s one Hamas loves.

57% of US Muslims Believe Hamas Atrocities Justified

The Cygnal poll is unique in that it polled Muslims in America as a separate group about the Hamas attack on Israel during which the Islamic terrorists massacred civilians, raped and kidnapped women, and killed and kidnapped children.

28% of Muslims in America strongly agree that Hamas was justified whle 29% somewhat agree. On the other side, 16% strongly disagree while 25% somewhat disagree.

I doubt Canada would be any different.

What is Hezbollah? The group backing Hamas in war against Israel

In the hills of northern Israel, a tank emerged from its hiding place beneath the pines, leaving the musk of churned earth hanging in the air.

Here on the border with Lebanon a conflict is brewing, one that the West is so desperate to avoid that President Biden has sent two US aircraft carriers to the eastern Mediterranean.

Hezbollah, the well-organised Shia militia based in southern Lebanon, is under pressure from Iran to join the war that Hamas, the Sunni militia based in Gaza, initiated when it broke out of the territory to butcher Israeli civilians two weeks ago.

Trudeau’s immigration policies exacerbate housing crisis

It’s not racism or xenophobia, it’s simply mathematics.

As the Trudeau government has cranked up immigration to record levels, the nation’s housing supply has failed to keep up. Hundreds of thousands of new Canadians are entering the country each year, while the number of new housing units being built is not even as high as it was in the 1970s.

UK’s Home Secretary to challenge London’s Police Chief after jihad chant allowed at Hamas rally

Braverman to challenge Met chief after jihad chant allowed at Palestine rally\

Suella Braverman will challenge the Metropolitan Police commissioner over officers’ decision to allow a jihad chant at a pro-Palestine rally, insisting that “there can be no place for incitement to hatred or violence” on UK streets.

The Home Secretary will hold a meeting with Sir Mark Rowley on Monday after officers took no action when supporters of an extremist Islamist group chanted: “Jihad, jihad, jihad” during a protest in London on Saturday.

After analysing an online video, the Met said jihad had “a number of meanings” and concluded that no offence had taken place.

Oh I see, “a number of meanings.”

In Toronto we’re more likely to see Chairman Chow siding with Hamas.

Federal NDP making moves to get an early start on the next election campaign

The NDP likes to say that it must always be election-ready — especially in a minority Parliament.

But as the party looks ahead to 2024, many signs indicate its election machinery is gearing up.

Some outside the party point out that money issues still stand in the way of getting the NDP ready for an election.

Deep six Singh, it’s their only hope of retaining what they have.

They could just merge with the Libs.

WARMINGTON: Jewish businesses in city targeted like in Berlin during 1930s

When Toronto has Jewish businesses being vandalized or targeted with a boycott, it’s clear these protesters have gone too far.

But how far will Toronto let this go?

The police do not have control of the streets.

Nothing is stopping the Hamassholes from going ape if they choose to.

Michael Higgins: Canada faults Hamas for Gaza hospital blast, but Trudeau and Joly remain oddly quiet

Is it expecting too much to hope that our prime minister and foreign affairs minister will act in a fair, principled and impartial manner? The answer, unfortunately, appears to be yes.

Perhaps Justin Trudeau is hobbled by his caucus, his own beliefs, or an inability to move as quickly as world events warrant, but the evidence is mounting that he is clearly motivated by an anti-Israel bias.

The aftermath of Hamas’s attack on Israel has exposed the West’s moral collapse

The protests we are seeing have nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with problems here at home

There is a good rule about anti-Semitism. One reason it isn’t better known is because its best expression comes at the mid-point of the 20th century’s towering work of historical fiction: Life and Fate, by Vasily Grossman.

That novel, which takes the reader from the Battle of Stalingrad to the Nazi death camps, traverses the entire dark heart of the 20th century. Yet in the very middle of its 900 pages, the great Russian writer examines the question of anti-Semitism. He says almost everything.

Anti-Semitism is something which, as Grossman writes, can be met “in the marketplace and in the Academy, in the soul of an old man and in the games children play in the yard”. He describes it as always a means rather than an end, “a measure of the contradictions yet to be resolved”.

Those militants obviously need a new realtor.

There are no “innocent” Gazans

I hope I don’t come across as being angry.

For what Hamas did to my People, I guess it’s okay to be sad, horrified, dismayed…but not angry.

As the Rebbe says, all other nations may fight to win, but only Jews must turn the other cheek. They must not be angry.

That was Biden, appropriately providing military equipment to the Israelis, then by degrees, backtracking and backsliding.

Is Ukraine now the ‘Other War’

The first indication that this was a literary festival like no other came with the request to provide “proof of life” questions in case of kidnap. I’ve been to some unusual festivals — earlier this year I found myself discussing war-rape, ancient and modern, with the classicist Mary Beard on a barefoot island in the Maldives — and had some unusual festival encounters, such as the woman who asked me to sign a book to her dead husband, adding that he was reading it when he died. This, however, was my first in a war zone. There was a polite warning from the Lviv Book Forum organizers: “If there is an airstrike, we will interrupt the event.” It’s all part of the resilience of Ukrainians, determined in the face of Russian aggression that life must go on.

Iran beats another girl to death for Islam

Iran says girl who collapsed on Tehran metro is ‘brain dead’

A teenage Iranian girl who fell into a coma after an alleged altercation with morality police is now considered to be “brain dead”, state media say.

Armita Geravand, 16, collapsed after boarding a Tehran metro train on 1 October.

Activists accused morality police of assaulting her for not wearing a hijab, but authorities insisted she fainted.

There was no immediate confirmation of Armita’s condition from her parents or activists.
