Kendra Downe says they never imagined they could potentially be facing eviction when they put up a Palestinian flag on their balcony of their Montreal apartment.
Downe put up the flag a few weeks ago, “just like people put up privacy screens. It was about the size of my balcony,” they said.
“And two hours later, I received a text from my landlord asking me to take it down. Not asking – demanding – that I take it down.”
I wonder why she doesn’t tattoo the flag on her forehead.
Before the Biden administration gets too carried away celebrating the election of Iran’s so-called moderate president, it should understand that Masoud Pezeshkian’s victory is nothing more than a ploy to distract world attention away from Iran’s nuclear weapons programme.
While Iranian voters have understandably been focused on electing a new president to replace hardliner Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed in a mysterious helicopter crash in May, the regime has been intensifying its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.
Children as young as six were encouraged to make badges celebrating the intifada and praising Palestinian martyrs as part of a charity workshop.
The badges, featuring slogans such as “Long Live the Intifada” and “If I must die, let it bring hope, let it be a tale”, were part of a series of arts and craft activities staged by the charity Metroland Cultures. The event was held in London’s Kilburn on June 28 to raise money for Palestine and Sudan.
They have been criticised as “propaganda designed to sow hatred of Jews” by campaigners against anti-Semitism, who said it is inappropriate for children so young to be encouraged to imitate Palestinian slogans celebrating death and the armed struggle against Israel.
The mainstream Western media outlets are overflowing with headlines praising Masoud Pezeshkian, the new, supposedly “reformist” president of Iran. The word “reformist” appears invariably alongside his name, thereby spotlighting an enormous lack of understanding regarding Iran’s ruling mullahs and their theocratic establishment.
Mohammad Deif, the leader of the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, was targeted in an airstrike in the Khan Yunis area of southern Gaza, Israel’s Army Radio reported on Saturday.
A senior source noted that there was a high likelihood that Deif was killed in the strike, but that confirmation was, as of yet, forthcoming, Israeli state broadcaster KAN reported.
This is what remains of Muhammad Deif, H×mas' chief of staff, the second in command after Yahya Sinwar 👇

The recent UK General Election was marred by intimidation and harassment. ‘British politics must soon wake up to what happened at this election’, said Shabana Mahmood, Labour MP for Birmingham Ladywood. Jess Phillips, Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, said that this was the ‘worst election I have ever stood in’. Even before the election was announced and campaigning had kicked off, now deputy prime minister Angela Rayner spoke in February of being too afraid to leave the house.
In the past year, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) agenda seems to have been replaced with an agenda that is “pro” the terrorist group Hamas as the newest, most efficient way to seek the destruction of the United States and by extension, the West.
The IDF publicized its first probe into Israel’s October 7 failure to prevent Hamas’s invasion, focusing in on the invasion of Beeri in the South, which parallels central Gaza, and which was overwhelmingly destroyed.
During the invasion, 101 Beeri residents were killed, 30 hostages were taken, of which 11 are still being held by Hamas in Gaza, 150 houses were destroyed, and several complete security breakdowns took place.
From the start of Hamas’s breaking through the Beeri security gate at 6:55 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., between 80-220 Hamas terrorists at anyone time (a total of 340 Hamas forces participated) massively outnumbered Israeli defenders, who had only between 13-26 fighters at any given moment.
Demonstrators took to the streets of downtown Montreal Thursday night in protest of the McGill University encampment’s dismantling.
What began as a pro-Palestinian gathering at Phillips Square around 9 p.m. quickly consumed central downtown. Chanting protesters, many of them masked, moved down Ste-Catherine St., with police in riot gear containing them on either side.

These Hamas terrorists in Montreal tonight deserve that. I hope they get locked up for a long time. pic.twitter.com/6qJbgTaxio

The anti-Israel protest movement that seized university campuses across the country is packing up and going home.
Following an Ontario court injunction on July 2 that saw the encampment at the University of Toronto dismantled the following day, similar university encampments across the country are fast disappearing, mostly of their own accord.
After the German Bild reported that the Foreign Ministry sent a letter to the UN Relief and Works Agency, logging details of employees who are also terrorist operatives – i24NEWS obtained part of the letter.
The names, passport numbers, and military identification numbers of 108 UNRWA workers who moonlight as Hamas terrorists are included in the letter, addressed to Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini.

Prominent Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti has been facing sharp criticism from many Palestinians after he was filmed hugging a former Israeli foreign minister during a recent conference in Italy. Barghouti is being accused of betraying the Palestinians by “promoting normalization” with Israel.
The latest “scandal” erupted after a video that appeared on social media featured Barghouti warmly hugging former Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami during a meeting of parliamentary factions in Italy. Ben-Ami, a historian, is known for his role in the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians more than two decades ago. He is also known for his support for the establishment of a Palestinian state next to Israel
Three out of four European Jews fear displaying their Jewish identity in public spaces, a new survey finds.
Conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, the survey presents a grim picture of the experiences of Jews in Europe, with 76 percent reporting that they choose to avoid wearing items outside of their homes or synagogues that identify them as Jewish.
To stop rising antisemitism in the Netherlands and Europe political leaders must put an end to open border mass immigration and reverse the cultural relativist failure to foster integration, Dutch Party for Freedom founder and leader Geert Wilders told The Jerusalem Post in an interview on Wednesday, in which he also explained that his support for Israel was grounded in the broader defense of Western values.

Jewish life in Europe will be a thing of the past by 2050. There is no future for them there and their desperate love for the old and beloved continent will die. What was unthinkable yesterday is plausible today and certain tomorrow.
The chief rabbi of the Great Synagogue of Paris, Moshe Sebbag, called for departure:
“There is no future for the Jews in France. I tell all young people to go to Israel or a safer country”.
The president of the Jewish consistory of Alpes-Provence, Zvi Ammar, confessed to Cnews that “in order to no longer live hidden and insecure”, more and more Jews are ready to make aliyah, to move to Israel. “In the mouths of people in every Jewish home comes the question: ‘do we still have a future in France?’. It hurts a lot. Today people feel safer in Israel, despite it being a country at war”.
