Adidas has pulled a shoe campaign featuring the Palestinian model and Israel critic Bella Hadid after it caused anger among Jewish communities.
Hadid was pictured modelling a remake of trainers first released in 1972 to mark the Munich Olympics, an event marred by tragedy when Palestinian terrorists killed 11 members of Israel’s Olympic team and a West German policeman.
The International Court of Justice, the top judicial arm of the United Nations, said Friday that Israel should bring an end to its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory, cease new settlement activity, evacuate existing settlements and pay reparations to Palestinians who have lost land and property.
The court, based in The Hague, said Israel is responsible for “systematic discrimination” against Palestinians based on race or ethnicity and has breached the right of Palestinians to self-determination.
The Biden administration’s plan to “revitalize” the Palestinian Authority (PA) is being interpreted by Palestinian leaders as permission to form an alliance with the murderers and rapists of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas.
In November 2023, the Biden administration called for “revitalizing” the PA in the hopes that it would be able to oversee the Gaza Strip once the Israel-Hamas war ends.
Canada must insist French President Emmanuel Macron and French politicians exclude the radical left La France Insoumise party (‘France Unbowed’ or LFI) from any role in the new government.
If not, Canada should place sanctions on France.

Israel’s parliament has voted in favour of a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, in a sharp rebuff to mounting US and Arab pressure.
The vote on Wednesday came a week before Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will visit Washington, where he is due to address Congress. Democratic lawmakers sitting in the US legislative body have been critical of Israel over the war in Gaza.
Joe ain’t in charge of nuttin.
OTTAWA – Former public safety minister Marco Mendicino is calling for the creation of “protective zones” around political constituency offices to shield members of Parliament and their staff from a rising tide of threatening behaviour.
Mendicino, a Toronto Liberal MP, said under the plan anyone who intimidated or otherwise harassed people within the buffer zone of perhaps 50 to 100 metres would be subject to harsher criminal penalties including jail time.
The Montreal offices of Liberal MP and federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller suffered what appeared to be thousands of dollars of damage after being vandalized on Thursday.
The St-Jacques St. office’s windows were smashed and covered with pink paint and vandals wrote: “Marc Miller Child Killer” in spray paint across the office’s facade.

A new campaign against antisemitism in France was launched, showing French Jews hiding their identities for fear of discrimination.
The campaign was launched by the International League Against Racism and Antisemitism (LICRA) to combat the staggering rise of antisemitism in France in the past year.
Cold but true:
France has a huge and menacing Muslim problem.
Campaigns of the sort discussed above should be considered a warning that the situation has deteriorated to a point beyond hope of reversal.
France will eventually encourage its Jewish population to emigrate in the hope of appeasing the Islamists.
Canada though a few years behind is following the same path as France.
The leaders of Canada’s mainstream parties will go to any length to appease the Mohammedan diaspora.
It will not get better.
Hamas, a so-called liberation movement, was voted into power as the governing party by the Palestinian people of Gaza in 2006. The group immediately engaged in armed conflict with Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Authority and his Fatah faction, and forcibly removed them from Gaza, including by throwing at least one official off the 15th floor of a building. Hamas also undertook a jihad (holy war) against the neighbouring country of Israel by attempting to kill Israelis or drive them away to take control of the land.
The families of five Israeli women soldiers held hostage in Gaza since the October 7 Hamas attacks on Tuesday pleaded with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make an accord for their release before he goes to Washington next week.
Facing mounting international and domestic criticism, Netanyahu is set to speak to a joint meeting of the US Congress on July 24 and to meet President Joe Biden. The families released new pictures of the detainees to increase pressure on Netanyahu.
In the wake of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7 last year and Israel’s subsequent military assault in Gaza, Halifax Pride and other organizations in Canada have faced calls from parts of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to support Palestinian people.
Community educator Aaliyah Paris is one non-binary and queer person in Halifax who’s made that call.
She wants more transparency from Halifax Pride, and for it to divest from companies on the Canadian boycott, divest and sanction (BDS) list — a group of firms, organizations and people that pro-Palestinian groups say should be boycotted to put pressure on Israel.
Vancouver Island University (VIU) has issued a trespassing notice to pro-Palestinian protesters on its Nanaimo campus.
The notice says that protesters must dismantle the encampment and leave by 8 a.m. on Monday, July 15.
“VIU had been hopeful the encampment could be resolved through dialogue between the university and student participants,” said a July 11 post on the school website.
This was getting awfully stale.
The Pallies have illustrated that they and their cult do not belong in Canada.
For starters, an antisemitic bureaucrat (so the courts decided) is in charge of the fight against antisemitism.
The Green party-dominated government in the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg (B-W) has been running an antisemitic campaign against Israel since Hamas massacred nearly 1,200 people on October 7. The bill of particulars against the B-W government of the party’s governor Winfried Kretschmann is long.
The state’s scandal-plagued commissioner tasked with fighting antisemitism, Michael Blume, told the German wire service dpa in May that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is doing the fight against antisemitism a disservice with his behavior. Blume added, “We clearly notice that Israel-related antisemitism is increasing sharply.”
Where does US President Joe Biden obtain his knowledge on Palestinians is a question that has to be asked, especially in light of his recent statement regarding the popularity of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas.
“If you notice, there is a growing dissatisfaction in the West Bank, from the Palestinians, about Hamas,” Biden said during a press conference. “Hamas is not popular now.”
Biden, whose approval ratings are plummeting, can only be jealous of Hamas’s increasing popularity among the Palestinians.
