Jewish self-flagellation post-October 7 can be blamed on intersectionality – opinion

In 1240, King Louis IX of France arranged for a “disputation,” a debate, to “disprove and malign” Judaism and Jewish thought. On one side were four of the most distinguished rabbis of France – Yechiel of Paris, Moses of Courcy, Judah of Melun, and Samuel Ben Solomon of Château-Thierry. On the other was Nicholas Donin, a Franciscan monk. Donin, who was not born a Christian, had converted from Judaism.

During the two hundred years that followed, there were two other such debates, one in Barcelona in 1263 and another Tortosa in 1414. In both cases, representing the church were Jewish converts to Christianity.

Brock University launches review after professor compares Israel to Nazi Germany

Decolonization and anti-racism scholar

Brock University has launched a review after a professor praised Hamas’s October 7 atrocities against Israeli civilians, compared the Jewish state to Nazi Germany, and cited antisemitic conspiracy theories in a series of blog posts.

Tamari Kitossa, a decolonization and anti-racism scholar at Brock University, where he heads the critical sociology department, wrote a four-part series written following the Hamas atrocities, which Kitossa describes as “miraculous.” He argues that Zionism and Nazism are one and the same.

Terry Glavin: Group banned in Germany gets carte blanche in Canada to glorify Hamas massacre

“We stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic and brave action on October 7. Long live October 7.”

It doesn’t get much clearer than that.

It was yet another harangue from Charlotte Kates, international co-ordinator for the Samidoun Prisoners Solidarity Network, one of the main groups behind the dozens of “pro-Palestine” rallies and demonstrations across Canada since the Hamas atrocities of October 7 last year. The savageries of that day led to the war in Gaza that has so far cost the lives of perhaps 30,000 Palestinians.

Justice minister says protest over Israel-Hamas war at his home crossed a line … So what’s the point of Junior vote whoring the Islamists?

OTTAWA – Justice Minister Arif Virani says protesters who took their cause to his home over the weekend crossed a line.

A few dozen pro-Palestinian protesters showed up at Virani’s Toronto-area home on Saturday, waving flags and placards with his photo on them at the edge of his driveway.

Virani told reporters on his way into a cabinet meeting Tuesday that he believes in the right to “lawful and peaceful protest,” which the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees.

US says Israeli army units violated human rights

The US state department has found five units of the Israeli military responsible for gross violations of human rights in individual incidents, but says they will continue to receive US military backing.

All the incidents involved took place outside of Gaza before the current war.

Israel took corrective action in four units, giving “additional information” on the fifth, the department says.

This means all the units remain eligible for US military assistance.

Netanyahu: IDF will enter Rafah ‘with or without a deal’

The Israel Defense Forces will enter the Hamas stronghold of Rafah in southern Gaza irrespective of the outcome of hostages-for-ceasefire-and-terrorists talks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday.

“The notion that we will stop the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question,” said the premier during a meeting at his office in Jerusalem with the Heroism Forum, which represents bereaved IDF families, and the Tikva Forum for Families of Hostages.

McGill requests ‘police assistance’ over pro-Palestinian encampment

McGill University says it has “requested police assistance” about the pro-Palestinian encampment on its lower field.

“We informed participants that this encampment was not authorized and gave them time to gather their belongings and leave the premises,” McGill said Tuesday. “However, most have chosen to remain. As we worked through the steps, we also engaged in dialogue with representatives of McGill students.”

The university says it failed to reach a resolution with the student demonstrators and “decided to take the final step in our protocol.”

Attorneys inside and outside the administration urge Biden to cut off arms to Israel

A coalition of lawyers domestic and abroad — including at least 20 that work in the Biden administration — are calling on President Joe Biden to halt military aid to Israel, arguing that its actions in Gaza do not comply with U.S. and international humanitarian law.

They plan to send a letter arguing their case to Attorney General Merrick Garland and general counsels across the administration in the coming days. In the letter, obtained by POLITICO, the lawyers contend that Israel likely violated U.S. statutes including the Arms Export Control Act and Leahy Laws as well as the Geneva Conventions prohibiting disproportionate attacks on civilian populations.

Gaza vs. Ukraine: Selective Outrage at America’s Colleges

It has been more than two years since Russia invaded Ukraine. If the latest predictions are correct, Russia may emerge victorious from this war in the coming months. They will probably do so by toppling the Ukrainian government and turning Ukraine into something similar to Belarus: a Russian protectorate.

It has also been about six months since Israel launched its invasion of Gaza. Their overall intention is to eradicate Hamas and secure a new government that is not hell-bent on destroying Israel. So far, they have not accomplished that goal, but the overall impression from a variety of news sources indicates that their victory is only a matter of time.
