I’ve spent the last 12 hours speaking to Israelis who were at the Supernova music festival. Their testimonies, as you would imagine, are very emotional. At least one broke down mid-conversation and wasn’t able to continue his recollection.
The attack on the festival outside of Re’im began around 7 a.m. The party was at its peak by then—which meant that by then most people were inebriated. At first, partygoers heard a loud explosion, which they took to be another sporadic rocket attack on southern Israel. But then the explosions grew louder and constant, and kept going for about five minutes. The music stopped, and the police protecting the 4,000 or 5,000 ravers began pushing everyone to leave.
By then, the terrorists were approaching in pickup trucks bearing Hamas military markings.

GAZA, Oct 9 (Reuters) – Hamas’ armed wing said on Monday it will begin executing an Israeli civilian captive in return for any new Israeli bombing of civilian houses without pre-warning.
Hamas armed wing spokesman Abu Ubaida said they have been acting in accordance with Islamic instructions by keeping the Israeli captives safe and sound, blaming the intended move on Israel’s stepped-up bombing and killing of civilians inside their homes in air strikes without warning them.
I don’t think Hamas gave the 900 dead Israelis much warning – Israel at war: At least 900 killed, Hamas claims over 100 in captivity
Jow Warmington is on site follow him.
The crowd looks pretty sparse so far for what was advertised as a 2 pm start.
The lunatic socialists are there as always but cold weather will keep some away, mounting public disgust will force others to lay low.
We’ll keep an eye on it but frankly I suspect my intuition will prove correct, this will not have been worth fighting Toronto traffic and a parking fee to stand in the cold.
A pretty good turnout but not “massive.”
Immediately below – One thing to keep in mind is that these are not “New Canadians.” Most are born here and in fact are second and third generation kids. Hatred for Israel is generational, it is bred in the bone and that “home schooling” is reinforced by our twisted academics and much of our media. Listen to the howls of Allahu Akbar.
This is what multiculturalism and bad immigration policy has wrought. Those responsible should burn in hell.

Canada on sidelines as Haiti finally gets an armed intervention against gang violence
Back in February, the Caricom group of Caribbean nations met in Nassau to discuss ways to reduce the chaos and violence in its biggest member state — Haiti.
Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis acknowledged that the problem was too big for the bloc of small island nations to deal with on its own.
“What we at CARICOM have come to appreciate is that we do not have the resources to be able to deal with the Haiti problem ourselves, and we do need outside help,” he said.
… The story of Canada’s involvement in Haiti over the past two years is above all a story of a government determined not to get drawn into a potential quagmire.
I find myself oddly in agreement with Bytown Blackie.

It has not been a happy time for Canada in international affairs. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s accusation that Indian officials had been behind the murder of a Canadian citizen in Surrey, B.C., in June has sent our relationship with India into a deep freeze. To make matters worse, Canada found itself largely alone, with our friends and allies, who all have an interest in further developing a geostrategic relationship with India, hardly offering Canada their full-throated support.

This much is certain…Iran is behind all this. The mullahs timed it for the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, so here we are again.
Further, they felt fat and secure knowing they had a friend in Washington. After all, a few weeks ago, Joe Biden handed them six billion dollars, for reasons nobody knows, except that through his wobbly leadership, he creates one crisis after another, starting with Afghanistan, and now the consequences have arrived in Israel in the form of war.
Suppose the Israelis run short of ammo? How much of our stockpile has gone to Ukraine?

Ottawa, Montreal and Mississauga, Ont., saw hundreds of men and women waving Palestinian flags, honking car horns, and shouting Allahu akbar (God is great) only hours after terrorist atrocities in Israel shocked the world. More “cheerleading” rallies are due to be held today.
Obscene as they are the Hamas support marches should not be banned.
I like my enemies in the sunlight.
Maybe a lesson will be learned by Canada’s horde of virtue signaling drones.
Maybe they’ll realize that not all cultures are equal.
That mass immigration invites societal chaos.
That identity politics, multiculturalism and diversity are dangerous weapons wielded by hateful totalitarians.
Will they learn? Maybe but not likely.
Only one thing is certain. Come next election Justin Trudeau will be licking Hamas ass for votes.

“I want you to know they’re just normal teenagers. They just love what normal teenagers love. They fight constantly between them. They can drive me mad. And I love them to bits. And I miss them. And I want them home. Where they should be. In their beds. This is where children should be. In their home. In their beds. Living their lives. And I’m asking every mother in the world to think of her children and help me make the effort to release those people and my children.”
These are the words of a mother whose two sons, ages 12 and 16, were taken from their home by Hamas terrorists and are now being held hostage in Gaza after Saturday’s attack on Israel.
It is just one heartbreaking story among thousands from the greatest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

Blame it on its liberal immigration policies and weak counterterrorism laws
On the outskirts of Castlegar, a little town in British Columbia, a statue of Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy stands tall in the garden of the Doukhobor Discovery Centre. Much before Khalistani terrorists brought a culture of guns and gangs to British Columbia, the province became synonymous with the nonviolent and pacifist ideals of the Doukhobors. A small ethno-religious group of Russian origin, the Doukhobors fled to Canada in the 1890s, fearing persecution from the Russian church and state. Tolstoy is said to have assisted in their mass migration, and his statue stands testimony to his efforts and Canada’s tradition of welcoming refugees.

Israel has declared a “complete siege” on Gaza and launched hundreds of strikes on the Palestinian enclave as Hamas claimed Israeli bombings had killed Israeli hostages being held there.
Palestinian militants are believed to have abducted more than 100 people during a surprise multi-front attack in which they killed more than 700 – making Saturday the deadliest day in Israel’s history.
In response, Israel has launched hundreds of strikes from the air and sea, killing more than 500 Palestinians in Gaza, an area home to 2.3 million people with nowhere to flee.

Two months after the Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot and killed in a parking lot in suburban Vancouver, Canadian police showed up at the house of a close friend with warning: his life was also in danger.
Two officers – one of them from the federal national security team – handed Gurmeet Singh Toor a document known as a “duty to warn” paper. It required him to confirm that they had told him his life “might be in peril” – and to acknowledge that any attempt on his life might put his family at risk.
“I asked them who might be threatening me and why my life was at risk,” Toor told the Guardian. “They said they couldn’t explain the threats because of ‘security reasons’. But they told me they had information that I was in danger.”

Hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters marched through Manchester on Sunday saying they were “full of joy” at the attacks on Israel, while British Jewish groups braced themselves for an increase in antisemitic hate crimes.
CST, a charity advising Jewish organisations on security in Britain, said it had already received several reports of verbal abuse against Jewish people where the attacks on Israel by Hamas militants had been mentioned.
The charity, which was consulted by the home secretary over the weekend, said that it feared a repeat of 2021, when violence in Israel and Gaza appears to have contributed to a record number of reports of antisemitism in Britain.

A Canadian from Winnipeg has been taken hostage from Israel amidst the attacks by Hamas, former federal cabinet minister Irwin Cotler says.
In a posting on X, the former justice minister and attorney-general said Vivian Silver is being held hostage in Gaza.
Mr. Cotler said Ms. Silver was violently taken from her home in Kibbutz Be’eri in Israel and is being held captive. He said she is a renowned Canadian-Israeli peace activist and humanitarian.
The awful irony of this dreadful and savage attack is it targeted a lot of people opposed to the Netanyahu Government. Far-leftists don’t get that or don’t really care. I’m a little shocked by how blaise – even moderate Palestinian activists- are about this attack. https://t.co/tucXNxX2JB
