A Jewish teenager was pelted with stones by a gang of youths who chased him along a north London street in the middle of the day.
The suspected attack is the latest in a growing number of anti-Semitic incidents seen in the UK since Israel launched its retaliation against the Hamas attacks in October.
It came as Jewish groups said police and politicians need to do more to protect their community in the face of growing tensions and continued pro-Palestinian protests.
In Toronto there was an unprecedented display we haven't seen in these protests yet in North America. GTA4Palestine, a new group led by Naved Bahadur, Nabil Jalbout, and Ahmad Arrar, decided to pause the march to put Hamas spokesperson Abu Obaida on the loudspeaker and give a 5… pic.twitter.com/UJRstlCyRZ

An ambitious U.S. effort to get aid into Gaza via a floating pier in the Mediterranean Sea has gotten off to a sluggish start, facing many of the same logistical challenges that have throttled broader attempts to ease the humanitarian crisis in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
The Pentagon spent $320 million and engaged 1,000 soldiers and sailors to open a major maritime corridor last week, delivering on President Biden’s promise in March that the U.S. military would install a temporary dock off the Gaza coast for cargo ships to unload food, water and other supplies. Fourteen ships from the U.S. and other countries are involved in a mission supported by humanitarian groups and several nations including Israel.
The pro-Palestinian encampments that have plagued campuses across North America have flared up like infected sores, spreading the same message of inciting violence and genocide against Jews from Columbia University to our very own University of Toronto.

I still had the tweet open in a tab so recorded it.
Parliamentarians in the Dutch lower house narrowly voted this week to criminalise the chant “from the river to the sea,” which calls for Israel to be wiped off the map. There are questions over how the motion, passed by just 74-73 votes, will be enacted. But more importantly, it strikes at the heart of the debate over the limits of free speech.
Members of Geert Wilders’ populist Party for Freedom said the ban was in response to “a disturbing increase in anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands.” The motion adds that “from the river to the sea” comes “right off the Hamas charter and is therefore a call for violence against all Jews worldwide.”
Justin Trudeau says Benjamin Netanyahu is blocking two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of impeding progress toward a two-state solution between Israel and a Palestinian state, saying Canada “fundamentally” disagrees with his government’s position on achieving peace.
“Canada’s position has always been that the solution to the extraordinarily difficult challenges in the Middle East are a two-state solution, a peaceful, secure democratic Israel alongside a peaceful, secure, democratic Palestinian state,” Trudeau said Friday during a news conference in Nova Scotia.
What a vote whore.
As it said it would, the University of Toronto issued a trespass notice to a pro-Palestinian encampment at 4 p.m. Friday.
Those gathered at the encampment now have until Monday at 8 a.m. to leave, before the school pursues “consequences under University policies and the law.”
Potential academic consequences include a five-year suspension or expulsion.
On Thursday evening, over 1,500 members of London’s Jewish community and their allies chased off an anti-Israel protest outside the Phoenix cinema in East Finchley, north London.
The anti-Israel protest, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, was prompted by the Phoenix’s decision to show a film from Seret, the UK-Israeli film festival. The film in question, Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre, documents the Hamas attack on 7 October last year, in which hundreds of music fans were slaughtered.

As a member of the University of Toronto’s Governing Council and several of its committees, I am dismayed by the violent mob that has taken over a central area of the university, targeting members of the Jewish community through such illegal actions as confinement and assault. The university’s response, under the guise of academic freedom, has been inadequate, negotiating with the mob instead of addressing antisemitism and eventually caving in to divestment. U of T would have taken a much more aggressive approach, as it should, if any of these antisemitic acts were targeted at a different at-risk group.
Who are the winners of Gaza? The Islamist international. Well managed between jihadism and the useful idiots of the West
“Strange Bedfellows” is not just a 1964 film starring Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida. In politics and war they are called “bedfellows”, but the radical left’s love affair with Islamic fanatics is the strangest couple that ever existed. Even Hitler and Stalin had much more in common.
How to explain the infatuation and alliance of progressivism with Islamic fundamentalists who kill Jews and Christians, want to replace secularism with sharia, subjugate women and cut off the heads of those who draw a harmless cartoon?
In the past few days, Hamas and other terrorist groups have been rejoicing over the decision by Ireland, Norway and Spain to recognize a Palestinian state. The terrorists are so delighted that they have released several statements praising the three countries and stating that the Palestinians view the recognition as a direct result of their terrorist attacks against Israel. Germany, not to be left out, said it would “detain Benjamin Netanyahu if he were to set foot on German soil and if the International Criminal Court (ICC) issues an arrest warrant…”
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he supports an order from the International Court of Justice for Israel to stop any military campaigns in Rafah.
Hamas should lay down its arms and release the hostages still in the group’s custody, but it’s also time for Israel to stop its military campaign, said Trudeau.
Eliminating religion as a hate speech defence an idea worth exploring, says antisemitism envoy
Canada’s special envoy for combating antisemitism says she’s “very interested” in exploring the idea of eliminating religion as a possible defence against hate speech charges.
Deborah Lyons, whose mandate also includes preserving Holocaust remembrance, appeared Thursday before a parliamentary committee that is studying antisemitism on university campuses.
Jewish leaders, students and faculty have been voicing concerns about an increase in hate speech and violence since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war last fall.
Lyons said she believes universities’ equity, diversity and inclusion strategies are “failing Jews in this country” because they don’t make much mention of antisemitism specifically.
So our Antisemitism Tsarina is saying that if the DEI Cabal grants Jews victimhood status then the cabal can continue hating White People.
Why not call for the dismantling of the DEI Cabal?
Does she not get that DEI is all about anti-White racism? Or is it that she approves?
Former general criticizes Canada’s failure to combat antisemitism
VICTORIA, Canada – Canada is failing not just its Jewish community but all of its citizens by fostering hate and violent rhetoric through the inaction of the country’s leadership, former Canadian Armed Forces chief of the Defense Staff Gen. (ret.) Rick Hillier told The Jerusalem Post in an interview on Monday.
The ex-head of the Canadian military said he didn’t go far enough in a May 1 National Post article warning that Ottawa has deserted its Jewish citizens as antisemitism proliferates across the northern country’s cities and academic campuses.
“We didn’t just fail, and are not just failing 400,000 Jewish Canadians; we’re failing 41 million people. And to me, that’s bloody unacceptable,” said Hillier.
Islam, the Left and the DEI/CRT Cabal are the prime movers of anti-semitism in Canada. The people responsible for allowing the mass import of Muslims will never admit to having made a mistake and this being Canada they will get off Scott-Free.
Nor will they face consequences for the anti-White racism that is the core of their deranged beliefs.
They likely still think it’s a good idea. When they find a way to blame it on White People they’ll speak up.
They don’t even try to hide it anymore.
Is this type of unfettered foreign influence acceptable to Canadians? Is our Conservative Leader owned by Israel? To what extent do Christian Zionists control the #CPC?

I would like some clarification on which victims the MP is referring to. Jews and Whites or only Jews for being classed as White?
“Jews have opted to become white in order to benefit from white supremacy.”

I get the impression that rather than abolish DEI the goal is to gain victimhood status. The ADL among other organizations is seeking such an accommodation in the US – See Jewish communal leaders still committed to DEI framework, despite widespread criticism
Are you suggesting that the Jewish community work with the DEI cabal to secure a spot on the victimhood hierarchy? So tell me who would that leave as the sole member of the oppressor class? Oh that's right "White People" my bad.
