Judge who let terror offence women walk free admitted liking post branding Israel a ‘terrorist’

Tanweer Ikram Jew Hating Judge

A row has broken out after a judge who decided to let three women wearing parachute images at a pro-Palestine march walk free admitted to liking a social media post branding Israel a ‘terrorist’.

Tanweer Ikram is facing calls to be investigated for a conflict of interest after he liked a LinkedIn post calling for a ‘free Palestine ‘ by a barrister who had previously promoted conspiracy theories claiming that Israel allowed the October 7 attack.

The senior district judge admitted to liking the post ‘by mistake’ three weeks ago, but was told by the Judicial Office that the matter would not be investigated further.

Judicial Reform Controversy Emboldened Israel’s Enemies

The controversy over the judicial reform proposed by the government of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last year was what likely encouraged Iran’s terror proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis to attack Israel. The mullahs in Tehran and the three Iran-backed Palestinian, Lebanese and Yemeni terror groups viewed the dispute over the reform as proof of Israel’s perceived weakness, disunity and a sign of its imminent demise.

Israel’s enemies have always shown great interest in political, security, economic and social events in Israel. They closely follow these events and devote huge efforts to analyzing them as part of the “know thy enemy” doctrine.

Continuing US support? Take caution, Israel. Take great caution.

The US could abandon Israel as an enfeebled Joe Biden moves politically leftwards to ensure he receives the 2024 presidential nomination. The Democrat House of Representataives aid vote is a warning.

Day after day, criticism of Israel’s waging war in Gaza is increasingly heard from the White House, and in coordination with their leftist allies.

On February 8, President Joe Biden said Israel’s war in Gaza has been conducted in a way that is “over the top.”

Also on February 8, clearly taking aim at Israel, Biden issued an order calling for the withdrawal of military support to any US arms recipient not fighting their war in adherence to international law, including international human rights law.

Israel launches ‘extensive’ strikes on Lebanon

Israel has launched an “extensive wave of attacks” on Lebanon after a woman was killed and others injured in a rocket attack on northern Israel.

Lebanese media reported that villages had been hit and buildings were on fire.

Hezbollah, which is thought to have carried out the attack on Israel, has not claimed responsibility.

The two sides have traded regular fire across Israel’s northern border since the 7 October attacks by Hamas.

NDP pushing Liberals to recognize state of Palestine as U.K., U.S. signal openness

Palestinians. Casual get together,

New Democrats are calling on the Liberal government to have Canada formally recognize Palestine as a state, saying it would help advance peace in the Middle East.

“It’s time for Canada to do more, to build a peaceful resolution for the people of Palestine and the people of Israel,” NDP foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson said Tuesday.

McPherson will table a private member’s motion in the House of Commons that would recognize Palestinian territories as a sovereign state.

Has Joe Biden finally had enough of Benjamin Netanyahu?

Has Joe Biden finally had enough of Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and, if so, will he take any action beyond swearing about him?

On Monday it was widely reported the US President had described the Israeli leader as an “a–hole” and might start to dial down the flow of American aid and weapons to Israel.

Mr Netanyahu’s rejection of Hamas’s contribution to the ongoing peace talks as “delusional”, his fearsome calls for “total victory” and his threatened assault on Rafah, where over a million displaced are sheltering, appeared to have finally cut through.

Trudeau’s both-sides games on the war in Gaza are repugnant

Last week, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly announced that Canada was sanctioning 11 Hamas leaders for their participation in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel – a redundant and pointless gesture, since Hamas is considered a terrorist entity by the Canadian government. The ministry’s own news release acknowledged the superfluous nature of the announcement, noting that members of terrorist organizations are inadmissible to Canada and that their property is subject to forfeiture.

It was a little bit of security theatre by the Canadian government, part of its continuing effort to demonstrate that it cares deeply about Israelis/Gazans/Jews/Muslims/whoever’s turn it is next, even if it was announced four months after the Hamas attack. Indeed, one would think that the time for such wholly symbolic gestures was on Oct. 8, not months later.

Swiss antisemitism shock at Davos shop sign saying no skis for Jews

Swiss police have opened an investigation into a ski hire shop’s announcement it would no longer rent skis and sledges to Jewish customers.

The shop, in the famous resort of Davos, has now reversed its decision.

It has taken down the signs, translated into Hebrew, which informed customers of the ban.

But many have argued the case is a clear violation of Switzerland’s laws against discrimination and incitement to racial or religious hatred.

Sorry, but There Is No Two-State Solution

Pretending there is a deal to be done with the Palestinian leadership only opens the door to another October 7. Israelis won’t be fooled.

I don’t fault any Zionist or ally of Israel for having embraced the two-state solution, as I did for many years. No other peace plan could reconcile self-interest and lofty principles so seamlessly. No other plan could offer a better way to transcend the contradictions that reality imposed on Israelis, by making a Zionist argument, no less, for Palestinian statehood. Far more powerful than a mere solution to a problem, the idea of two states was, for many of us, an irresistible form of seduction—a promise that partition could make Israel whole.

Platitude of the day … Trudeau calls demonstration outside Mount Sinai a ‘reprehensible’ display of antisemitism

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a demonstration outside of Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday a “reprehensible” display of antisemitism.

Trudeau posted a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, in response to reports of a protest outside of the institution, which was founded by the Jewish community in Toronto over a century ago.

Aroma Cafe, Mount Sinai, Davos, Crowncrack.com, Soho Theatre and many more instances of anti-Semitism reported in just the last 48 hours.

It seems an international coordinated effort is underway to push the boundaries of publicly acceptable anti-Semitism. 

Gone are the days when a Swastika or a chant of “From the river to the sea” were the “extreme”.

The goal now is to intimidate people and institutions with an implied if not actual threat of violence.

The brazen unashamed thugs tearing up hostage posters and the open support of Hamas atrocities as legitimate resistance were my first clues that a page had been turned.

Though the numbers of Pro- Hamas protesters marauding about are smaller today their choice of targets has succeeded in pushing the envelope and making the streets of Toronto “safer” for worse acts of anti-semitism to come.

Large-scale protests are inevitable and given the size of the GTA’s Muslim diaspora potentially very violent.

Will our police be prepared? I don’t know. This is a hot potato our politicians hope just goes away without having to risk the Islamist vote.

This is the Canada we live in. The Canada destroyed by identity politics and the mass immigration of incompatible cultures.

UPenn students, interim president slam professor’s ‘antisemitic’ political cartoons

The University of Pennsylvania is embroiled in yet another scandal in the wake of October 7: communications school lecturer Dwayne Booth is under fire for political cartoons that critics say are antisemitic.

One of Booth’s illustrations, entitled “Slaughterhouse,” shows Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu with red glowing eyes, covered in blood and holding a knife.

The controversial images were published on Booth’s personal website, crowncrack.com, where he uses the pseudonym Mr. Fish.
