With Ramadan just around the corner, a national Muslim organization and several local congregations are warning members of Parliament they won’t be welcome in their mosques until they call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, demand restoration of funding for the UN’s aid agency and condemn what they call Israel’s “war crimes.”
An open letter signed by the National Council of Canadian Muslims and a number of prominent mosques, obtained by CBC News, says MPs who refuse to make these pledges publicly will not be “provided with a platform to address our congregations.”
Ayelet Samerano, the mother of 21-year-old Yonatan Samerano who was brutally murdered on October 7, gave a heart-wrenching testimony and public plea to the UN on Tuesday, The Hostages and Missing Families Forum Headquarters said in a statement.
“A UNRWA worker kidnapped my son’s body. How can a social worker for an organization that claims to promote good in this world do something so cruel and inhumane? How can the UN pay this man who dragged my son’s limp body on the ground, and then picked him as if he was a trophy back to Gaza?” Samerano pleaded.
Islamist extremism is not being effectively tackled by the Government, the independent reviewer of Prevent has said, as he warned it was fuelling a “dangerous” surge in anti-Semitism.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, William Shawcross said the Government had failed to fully implement his proposals to overhaul Prevent, its counter terror programme, which meant the public faced an increased threat from extremists and terrorists.
He said the failure to take tougher action stemmed from a continuing bias within Prevent towards tackling the rise in Right-wing terrorism rather than the main threat of Islamist terrorism.
This wasn’t just graffiti or vandalism – this was death threats.
Hamas lovers don’t even hide their hate or intentions anymore. Things have escalated from pushing for “intifada” and removing Jews from the “river to the sea” to now calling for political assassinations.
The IDF has found new documents in Khan Yunis, proving that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was certain that Hezbollah would open a battlefront in northern Israel parallel to the October 7 massacre in southern Israel.
In a document published on Ynet, Sinwar wrote to his associates: “We have received a commitment that the axis will take part in the great freedom project, due to the nature of the connection we are working on.”
The systematic nature of the “sadistic sex crimes” committed during the Hamas-led invasion of the northwestern Negev on Oct. 7 has been revealed for the first time, in a report published by the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel.
Furthermore, the document has been translated into English and sent to decision-makers in the United Nations to leave “no room for denial or disregard.”
A former professional cyclist has been disinvited as the keynote speaker at an International Women’s Day event in Peterborough, Ont., because she served in the Israeli military three decades ago.
“I was hurt. I was angry. But most of all I was heartbroken,” Leah Goldstein, 55, wrote on her website.
The final offensive against Hamas faces several complications
To the immense chagrin of those calling for a ceasefire, victory remains Israel’s war objective — and it is far from a distant prospect. Of the two key metrics that will decide its victory, one is mostly satisfied, while the other could soon follow.
The first, the destruction of Hamas’s infrastructure, can be measured in the hundreds of kilometres of subterranean tunnels that the IDF has penetrated, cleared and thoroughly wrecked. Since many of these house rocket workshops, a clear indication of progress is the drastic decline in the number of them launched from Gaza each day: first thousands, then hundreds, then a few, then none.
As if “Queers for Palestine” wasn’t enough of a self-parody, keffiyeh-donning gay activists in Seattle have declared a “homosexual intifada.”
After another pro-Hamas/anti-Israel march and rally that took over city streets that Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell ceded, the extremists plastered their signage around downtown Seattle. That’s when we started seeing a new flyer showing two men with faces covered with keffiyeh while embracing in a kiss. The pink-hued message says “Homo-sexual Intifada” in all caps.
Life is full of little mysteries. For example: why do the words “flammable” and “inflammable” mean the same thing? Why do Americans insist on pronouncing “herbs” as “erbs”? Why does my phone’s autocorrect function appear to have been programmed by someone who can’t spell or punctuate?
Oh, and one more, while we’re at it. If British Leftists care as much as they claim to about the lives of innocent civilians in the Middle East, why didn’t they hold weekly mass marches demanding a ceasefire in Syria?
… Just one per cent of the country’s population, Canadian Jews were already disproportionately the victims of hate crimes before Hamas launched its armed assault, and the Israeli military responded in Gaza.
But something happened after Oct. 7 that has brought it into the open in ways uncharacteristic of a diverse nation that prides itself on tolerance and the embrace of multiculturalism.
“It’s almost like a world gone mad,” said Rabbi Menachem Karmel, principal at Yeshiva Gedola, a Jewish elementary school in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood.
They really have to stop peddling the Big Lie that Canadians are proud of being “multicultural and diverse”.
The only reason this lie has been able to propagate is that Canadians remain afraid of being called racist by their government and the media if they dare to question the elites mass immigration scam.
Anyone who has followed this blog knows full well that Muslim immigration has proven to be a massive self inflicted wound across the West.
Islamists and their fellow travelers on the left have long worked together to spread their hatred of the west under the guise of anti-racism, de-colonization, DEI & white privilege etc.
Despite occasional eruptions the extent of their antisemitism was managed well enough to attract plenty of willfully blind useful idiots.
So long as Whites were the declared target DEI racists were successful at infiltrating academia, public and private institutions.
Then Oct 7th happened and the useful idiots found out their allies considered them as evil as Whites if not actually White. For some Oct 7th was a wake up call though to my personal amazement Chickens for Colonel Sanders remains a going concern.
And no the so called “anti-Zionists” that harass hospitals are not a fringe minority of Canada’s Muslims as some of our leading lights will be sure to claim.
It was only a matter of time before Canada became a “Shithole State” like their European counterparts.
We may not be as far down the crapper as France or the UK or Sweden but we’re working on it.
“Canada’s hate crimes laws exempt good faith religious expression from prosecution.”
State enforced tolerance of the intolerant has consequences.
As diversity, equity, and inclusion offices proliferate in academic and professional spaces, Jews, always the miner’s canary, now have to worry about whether human rights codes will be weaponized against them.
In a recent example, an Ontario-based Jewish social worker was publicly labeled “racist” and “anti-Arab” for challenging her colleague’s assertion that Zionism is a “genocidal ideology.” This incident is reminiscent of another: several years ago, a Toronto social work student was denied an internship at a mainstream Jewish organization that her fieldwork coordinator deemed “anti-Palestinian.” It would seem the bar is rather low when it comes to being labeled “anti-Arab” or ”anti-Palestinian.” Being Jewish may be the only prerequisite!
Harvard has been caught in yet another antisemitism scandal after a faculty group posted an old cartoon filled with “offensive tropes” depicting a Jewish person hanging a black and an Arab man.
The Harvard Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine reposted the cartoon Monday after it was shared by two student groups, the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and the Africa and African American Resistance Organization, according to the student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson.
From London to New York, young radicals have become footsoldiers of Jew hatred.
Can we call them hate marches now? On Saturday in London there was yet another gathering of frothing Israelophobes. Another noisy assembly of bourgeois leftists and radical Islamists. Another long trudge through the city by that unholiest gang of Waitrose shoppers and jihad fanboys, of plummy liberals and the people who’ll be giving them a hundred lashes if the Islamic Revolution ever sweeps Britain. And this time the mask was well and truly off. This was no ‘pro-Palestine’ march – it was a viscerally anti-Israel march that frequently crossed the line into something even darker. Into the darkest hatred of them all.
