Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of ‘apartheid’ crimes against Palestinians

An international rights watchdog accused Israel on Tuesday of pursuing policies of apartheid and persecution against Palestinians – and against its own Arab minority – that amount to crimes against humanity.

New York-based Human Rights Watch published a 213-page report which, it said, was not aimed at comparing Israel with apartheid-era South Africa but rather at assessing “whether specific acts and policies” constitute apartheid as defined under international law.

Israel’s foreign ministry rejected the claims as “both preposterous and false” and accused HRW of harbouring an “anti-Israeli agenda,” saying the group had sought “for years to promote boycotts against Israel”.

HRW is not known for it’s objective analysis of Middle Eastern affairs.

China Is Extending Its Totalitarian Controls to the Rest of the World – Social Credit System Surveillance In Canada

China is surreptitiously collecting, for use in its domestic social credit system, video from a popular eatery in Canada.

In the Haidilao Hot Pot restaurant in the Kitsilano district of Vancouver, more than 60 surveillance cameras watch 30 tables and send feeds to China. The cameras, manager Ryan Pan explained to Scott McGregor and Ina Mitchell, are there to “people track” and are “part of the social credit system in China.”

This restaurant is corporate-owned, one of two Haidilao locations in that port city in British Columbia. There are more than 935 of the chain’s restaurants worldwide with over 36 million VIP members. The business started in China’s Sichuan province.

No big backlash for states passing “anti-transgender” laws

That look is priceless.

Five states have passed laws or implemented executive orders this year limiting the ability of transgender youths to play sports or receive certain medical treatment. There’s been a vehement outcry from supporters of transgender rights – but little in the way of tangible repercussions for those states.

It’s a striking contrast to the fate of North Carolina a few years ago. When its Legislature passed a bill in March 2016 limiting which public restrooms transgender people could use, there was a swift and powerful backlash. The NBA and NCAA relocated events; some companies scrapped expansion plans. By March 2017, the bill’s bathroom provisions were repealed.

So far this year, there’s been nothing comparable. Not even lawsuits, although activists predict some of the measures eventually will be challenged in court.

No Big Backlash? Could it have anything to do with people refusing the insane Tranny agenda?

GOLDSTEIN: Ontarians poorer than U.S. neighbours by $16,600 — report

Ontarians are becoming poorer and their economy is growing weaker compared to their American neighbours living in the eight Great Lakes states on their southern border, according to a study by the Fraser Institute.

“When we compare the average income of Ontarians relative to Americans in neighbouring states, the situation is getting worse,” said study co-author Ben Eisen in Measuring Ontario’s Regional Prosperity Gap.

Canadian officials not disclosing ‘at least 3’ new Havana syndrome cases: letter

Global Affairs Canada is “withholding information” on more than two dozen recent cases of Canadian diplomats reportedly being assessed for or reporting symptoms of what’s become known as “Havana syndrome,” according to a letter sent to Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau late last week.

Global News obtained a copy of a letter sent to Garneau on behalf of a group of nine Canadian diplomats and their families who say they are struggling to get answers on the symptoms they say they have experienced since serving at the Canadian embassy in Havana, Cuba.

Ottawa’s move to regulate video posts on YouTube and social media called ‘assault’ on free speech

The Liberal-dominated House of Commons Heritage committee has cleared the way for the federal government to regulate video content on internet social media, such as YouTube, the same way it regulates national broadcasting, under a new amendment made to a bill updating the Broadcasting Act.

The New Red Guards at Universities

Student campaigns to censure and punish professors.

Seeming to give credence to Bertrand Russell’s observation that “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts,” Michael Saunders, a member of the University of Washington Student Senate, introduced a resolution to create a system for students and staff to serve on an academic jury. The purpose of this jury, according to the resolution filed by Sanders, is to resolve “all discrimination accusations and charges that violate the University of Washington’s mission statement” so that the university is able to “think outside the lens of an oppressive system and think in a mindset of innovation, improvement, and radical change.”

Ontario reports 3,510 new Covid Cases – and did Cronyvirus break out at Switch Health the “Mystery” company fumbling Bananda’s border testing?

Ont. reports 3,510 new COVID-19 cases today, provincewide positivity rate hits nearly 11 per cent

Ontario is reporting 3,500 new cases of COVID-19 today, the lowest daily case count recorded over the past week, but with just under 34,000 tests completed over the past 24 hours, the provincewide positivity rate has risen to nearly 11 per cent, a level not seen since the beginning of the pandemic.

Ontario logged 3,510 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus today, down from 3,947 on Sunday and 4,094 on Saturday.

But with just 33,822 tests completed yesterday, Ontario’s test positivity rate reached 10.9 per cent, the highest that number has been since last April.

Oh Oh!

Toronto-area startup Switch Health accused of fumbling Canada’s COVID-19 border testing

…Finally, on March 10, Skinner says he got someone on the phone to answer his questions.

They weren’t from the government.

“He said, ‘Take the test yourself and send it in, they won’t know the difference,’ ” Skinner said, recalling the phone call. “And he said, ‘I’m not supposed to tell you that.’”

Welcome to Bananada. If true we suck for allowing a permanent political class to plunder us at will.

Inside the growing underground network of parents fighting ‘anti-racism’ in NYC schools

Now showing more anti white bullshit

Until last summer, Harvey Goldman had no idea that his 9-year-old daughter was learning about George Floyd’s death and Black Lives Matter as well as her own “white privilege” at the $43,000-per-year Heschel School in Manhattan.

Now he’s part of an underground network of parents in NYC and around the country, many of whom are left-leaning, fighting what they believe is the undue focus on race by schools as part of the new “woke” culture.

Richard Dawkins Is Right – The Oxford scientist-cum-professional atheist may be wrong about God, but he is right about transgenderism.

We sat in his living room, books and DVDs on a wide range of scientific topics stacked about here and there. He stood unsteadily and walked to his kitchen in a manner that suggested the effort required some concentration. A few minutes later, he returned with two potent cups of coffee, the small ones of the type Europeans prefer. He held them uncertainly in his right hand, his left arm immobile by his side. These were the lingering effects of a stroke he had suffered only a few months before.

Joe Biden takes a gamble on George Floyd

Moments after clear and uncompromising consequences were levied on Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, for the murder of George Floyd, the new American president made himself plain: “It’s not enough. We can’t stop here.”

Earlier in the day, Biden had explicitly conveyed his wish that the jury (while sequestered) find the “right verdict,” and after the full suite of guilty verdicts were read, Biden phoned the victim’s family: “I think in [Floyd’s daughter] Gianna’s comment, ‘my dad is going to change the world.” He’s going to start to change it now.”

BBC Mundo examines the military plan and the reality of what unfolded.

Following court order, FBI uses classic Friday document dump to release heavily redacted files on the death of Seth Rich

As I wrote elsewhere today, “As a rule, people who fight public disclosure tend to have something to hide.” I should add that when they conceal material even after being forced by a court order to disclose it, there’s even more reason to believe that there is something they are hiding.

The July 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich has drawn our attention for years, and been the subject of litigation and efforts to suppress inquiry. But finally, after denying it had anything on the case, the FBI has been compelled via an FOIA lawsuit to disclose its records, and did release some in a Friday document dump, after heavily redacting them.  But what little did make it through, given the concealment via redaction, still raises more questions.
