Jewish communities in Germany: ‘We are afraid’

In Canada this would be called a vital cultural addition to our mosaic of diversity.

Esther K., a real estate agent based in Berlin, who prefers not to share her real name, says she will never forget the moment she got a text message from a friend on Saturday morning reading: “Look what’s going on in Israel.”

K’s first thought was: “We’re all used to something happening in this crazy little country.” But then she read the news that the Islamist militant group Hamas had unexpectedly attacked Israel from Gaza and armed fighters were advancing into the country by land, sea and air, killing people and taking hostages. Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the US, EU and others.

AOC Is Pro-Jihad and Doesn’t Know It

She never disappoints.

I admire Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ability to wiggle. Not in any kind of sensual sense; I mean ideological wiggling, and her ideas are about as sensual as hitting your finger with a hammer. She moves from one borderline to another, from the United States’ to Israel’s, and, having the opportunity to choose between at least two sides, she always manages to lean toward the side of crime. But this time she has gone the extra mile, and I’m not just saying that because she has gone all the way to Israel but because her latest speech might even seem too radical — even to Mohammed Deif, the Hamas terrorist leader. After all, Deif said on Saturday that the day to “end the last occupation on Earth” had come, while AOC, in her apparent condemnation of last Saturday’s attack, managed to mention in the same sentence “Hamas’s horrifying attacks” and the “grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation.”

Phyllis Latour: The secret life of a WW2 heroine revealed

In the summer of 1944, in a village in German-occupied western France, a slim young woman with dark hair and grey-green eyes sat in a building with a wireless set, tapping out messages in Morse code.

She was an agent in the Special Operations Executive (SOE), known as Churchill’s Secret Army. Her codename was Genevieve and she was sending urgent messages back to London.

The French resistance in the area was sabotaging key transport links, disrupting German forces as they fought the Allied advance. For this they needed supplies – dropped by air from Britain – and aerial support.

How the Biden Administration Helped Iran’s Mullahs Try to Fulfill Their Dream of Annihilating Israel

The Biden administration, despite knowing that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the largest funder of the terror group Hamas, nevertheless decided to relax sanctions on Iranian oil exports. In 2020, Iran’s economy had a reported trade deficit of $3.45 billion; by 2023, according to former US Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe:

“Look, it’s not even just this $6 billion, which clearly is going to further enrich Iran. It’s closer to $60 billion. If you look at what the Biden administration has done to help this Islamic terrorist regime in Iran by [stopping enforcement of] sanctions, by lifting restrictions, by allowing Iranian oil to increase by 650% over the last year from 400,000 barrels of oil a day to 3 million barrels of oil a day – all of this has strengthened [the Iranian regime]”

Just weeks after the US gave Iran’s ruling clerics a fungible $6 billion line-of-credit as an effective ransom for hostages, the Iran-backed Hamas on October 7 launched a massive attack on Israel, killing more than 1,300 Israelis, mostly civilians, and wounded thousands more. Iran’s leadership and their Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah have been praising Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel.

Report From Sderot: Day 6

Within the definition of anti-Semitism is the concept of applying different, higher standards to Jews and Israel than are expected of others.

Israel declared war as a result of the Shabbat massacre. But only when Israel declares war is any nation expected to feed, water and supply free electricity to their enemies.

Does anybody know of this expectation being made of other nations who have declared war?

‘This is garbage’: NDP split on their deal with Liberals, seek harder line from Singh

HAMILTON – New Democrats attending the party’s policy convention are split over the deal their party has struck with the Liberals, as senior leadership focuses on pitching the NDP as the change voters are looking for in the next federal election.

“NDP Leader Jagmeet (Singh) is doing all the work of kicking (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau’s butt to get him to keep his election promises and Trudeau is getting all the credit,” said Alanna Johnston, a delegate from Toronto.

“This isn’t politics. This is garbage. This is some kind of business agreement.”

I don’t believe a word of this. Jagmeet wants his pension.

LACKIE: In Toronto ‘T’ is for Tax

“In addition to property taxes, we are subject to not one but two land transfer taxes, a city building levy, we tax non-resident speculators, properties that are left vacant, charge owners a Municipal Accommodation Tax on short-term rentals, charge builders development charges so steep that half the time you wonder if their secondary goal is to perhaps curb development entirely.”

John Ivison: The unconstitutional ‘no more pipelines act’ was a product of Liberal spite

Much of the Liberal platform in 2015 was driven by a George Costanza-type desire to “do the opposite” — in this case, the contrary of whatever position Stephen Harper’s Conservative government took.

On environmental regulation, the Trudeau Liberals were itching to repeal the 2012 Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, which resulted in far fewer project reviews than had taken place under the previous regime (although many more were killed later in the process by the courts).

Jewish and Muslim Americans fear rise in hate crimes amid Israel-Hamas war

Jewish and Muslim Americans in cities all around the country are worried that escalating tensions between Israel and Palestine, which some are calling “isolating and scary”, will exacerbate hate crimes and harassment in the United States.

For many Arab Americans in New York City, Bay Ridge was always a place of safety. The south Brooklyn neighborhood is 3 sq miles of Arabic bodega signs, halal grocers and a growing community of Palestinian, Yemeni, Syrian and Egyptian families.

On Wednesday, that sense of safety was punctured by reports of a hate crime.

The Guardian. There I warned ya.
