America’s top universities are consumed by Israel Derangement Syndrome.

It cannot be overstated how important American Jewish culture has been to modern American life. American Jews helped shape their nation’s psyche. So to see the violent deaths of Jewish men, women and children in Israel being blamed on the Jews themselves, and by the American left no less, is a watershed moment in US history. American Jews have long felt that America was, outside of Israel, the safest and most welcoming country for them. After the events of the past few weeks, that looks to be no longer the case.

Accusations are starting to mount against Israel’s allegedly disproportionate response to Hamas’ slaughter of around 1,400 Israeli men, women and children, and the kidnapping of at least 199. Israel’s enemies joyously celebrated the butchery around the world, including on the streets of Canadian cities, which is as appalling as it is concerning. As is the hypocritical call for Israel’s response to be “proportionate” — a standard that is not required under international law and that no other democratic countries are held to.

People who celebrate the massacre of Jewish infants are virulent antisemites. Hamas apologists, including academics, students, labour union leaders and assorted leftists are useful idiots in thrall to a postmodern ideology that demonizes and delegitimizes the Jewish state.

The federal government is warning Canadians to avoid all travel to Lebanon and telling those already in the country to leave now, as the crisis in Israel and Gaza worsens and concerns grow that the conflict could spill over the border.

For now, tensions between the Israeli military and Hezbollah — a political party and armed movement in Lebanon which supports the Palestinian militant factions Hamas and Islamic Jihad, all of which are backed by the Iranian regime — have been limited to exchanges of artillery fire and rocket attacks in border regions.

Diplomatic efforts are underway to prevent any further escalation, though the Israeli Defence Forces have already evacuated communities near the border with Lebanon, and Hezbollah has warned it’s “fully ready” to intervene in the Israel-Hamas war.

They aren’t Canadians, they just have a Canadian passport. Why on earth would you choose to live in Hezbollah land? Leave them there.

The last message that Shaked Haran saw from her father was just after 7.30 a.m. on the Saturday of the Hamas attacks in Israel. Her parents were in the safe room of their house in Kibbutz Be’eri, just outside the Gaza Strip. The message said that ‘masked terrorists’ were ‘swarming’ everywhere. ‘We don’t think we’ll make it out alive.’ Then nothing. When Israeli soldiers finally arrived, the house was a smoking ruin. But there was no sign of her parents, nor of her sister, her sister’s husband, their daughter aged three and son aged eight, nor of an aunt and her 12-year-old daughter, nor of another aunt and an uncle. Ten members of the family were gone. Hours later, one of her father’s friends got through to his mobile. It was answered by someone shouting in Arabic: ‘Hostage! Hostage! Gilad Shalit! Gaza!’

Who are the police protecting here?

Those standing up to terrorists, or those who sympathise with them?

This @MetPoliceUK response does not hold water.

The streets were empty when the vans were shut down for the second time, and our Chief Executive, @GideonFalter, was physically restrained from speaking to the drivers.

We have seen all too well the fruits of the “work taking…

Most of the Arabs who are now condemning Israel for its military strikes against the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip have never uttered a word against Hamas’s rocket attacks on Israel. These Arabs, who are now weeping over the plight of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, chose to turn a blind eye to Hamas’s repressive measures against the residents of the Gaza Strip. They also chose to look the other way as Hamas accumulated an arsenal of weapons and built dozens of offensive tunnels along the border with Israel. Incredibly, most of these Arabs still have not denounced Hamas for initiating the war on October 7, when hundreds of its heavily armed members crossed into Israel and massacred more than 1,400 Israelis, wounded thousands more, and abducted more than 200 hostages who were taken to Gaza.
