The Jews. The Jews.
It is always, so sadly, the Jews. Always.
There is not a humiliation, a torment, an affliction or misery, not a savagery, or horror, either contemplated or put into merciless execution, known to the human mind in its darkest most ungoverned contemplation — none — that with full rage-powered hate and sadistic purpose has not been visited on the Jewish people.
The White House says that a three-year-old American whose parents were killed by Hamas is among the hostages in Gaza.
President Joe Biden raised the issue of hostages, including the toddler, with a call with Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani of Qatar on Sunday.
It comes as the White House says “urgent” efforts to free hostages taken after the 7 October attack by Hamas are continuing.
The “pro-Palestinian” demonstrations that have taken place in the US and some European countries over the past few days are all about hating Israel and Jews, not about helping the Palestinians – especially those who have been living under the rule of the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip since 2007.
People who are really pro-Palestinian would be demonstrating for them to have leaders that do not siphon off billions in international aid, or who shoot at them when they try to flee to safety, or who do not store weapons and ammunition in and near their homes and schools.
The protests against Israel around the world purport to be demanding a ceasefire, but that is not their real agenda. The not-so-hidden agenda is a demand for the end of Israel and support for Hamas. The protests began the day after the Hamas massacres of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of more than 200.
This week, more than 700 Canadian lawyers, law students, law professors and other academics signed their names to a petition saying that Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacres should be placed in their proper “context,” rather than condemned. “We reject the notion that it is antisemitic, hateful, or illegitimate to contextualize the October 7th, 2023 attack,” they wrote.
Israel has revealed documents it says belong to Hamas which suggest the terrorists had planned to ‘systematically rape women’.
The documents allegedly belonging to the terror group contain an Arabic-Hebrew glossary with sexual terminology including ‘take your pants off’.
Israel shared some 50 translations on its official X account and claims the statements within the pages are ‘evidence’ of Hamas war crimes.
Does the UK know something of the terrorist threat to Canada that we don’t?
We in Canada are very fortunate to belong to a club called the Five Eyes. This is a post-WWII collection of like-minded (well, mostly like-minded most of the time) Anglo countries—Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the United States—that share very sensitive intelligence among themselves. The agreement to do so stems from a variety of factors: shared history and culture, common experiences in wartime and peacetime, the English language, and an overall sense that we are all on the “same side” on many matters.
With Israeli forces now on the ground fighting Hamas terrorists in Gaza, the Government of Canada cannot afford to repeat its recent mistakes, when numerous ministers — including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — helped popularize the myth that Israel bombed the Al-Ahli hospital.
Suella Braverman has said weekly pro-Palestinian marches that have “polluted” the streets with hate “can’t go on”.
The Home Secretary claimed London’s streets had been used to “valorise terrorism” and “further action” was necessary.
Mrs Braverman said some of the placards and chants in evidence on Saturday’s march in the centre of the capital were “clearly criminal”.
OTTAWA — An Ottawa man was arrested near Toronto this weekend after he was allegedly caught on video inciting hatred and expressing antisemitic views.
Ottawa police have charged Mohammed Assadi with breaking several bail conditions and hope to keep him in jail while Toronto’s hate crime unit investigates.
The coverage in the United States of the war between Israel and Hamas is comically lopsided in the Palestinians’ favor. That much is not in question. But the reasons for the disparity are worth teasing out.
When Hamas attacked Israel in a genocidal pogrom targeting men, women, and children, it was not the start of a war with the traditional goals of strategic victory or conquest, but a war to annihilate the Jewish People.
Let’s tell it like it is: The Arab/Israeli conflict has never been about self-determination for Palestinian-Arabs, who have no historical footprint or ancient pedigree in the land, but about the destruction of Israel and extermination of the Jews, whose ancestral connection to their homeland is, unlike Palestinian Arab claims, incontrovertible.
The root of the conflict – the true basis that nobody wants to acknowledge – is the doctrinal hatred of Jews.
I have avoided a thorough reading or viewing of the Hamas atrocities on Oct 7. I know enough of what evil is and what can be done to the human body, especially that of vulnerable children and girls, that I don’t need all the graphic detail.
‘Daddy, Daddy, God, why am I alive?’ – A harrowing report from a journalist who watched raw footage of the Hamas Pogrom of 7 October
On Monday 23 October, at the IDF Glilot military base in Herzliya, alongside at least 100 journalists, I was invited to a screening, exclusive to international media. We were warned in advance that the materials we were going to see would be raw and unedited footage, including documentation of murder and other visually gruesome materials. We were also informed that we would not be allowed to bring phones or any other recording devices into the screening auditorium. However, we were allowed to write about what we saw.
A few days ago, Julien Bensimhon, a Parisian lawyer, fell into conversation with a Jewish neighbour in the staircase of the building where his practice is located: she wanted to know whether it was safe to continue to display a mezuzah, a traditional decorative case, on the front door of her flat. “She is really worried that people will come and attack her,” he said.
Bensimhon understood: he, too, is Jewish, and members of his own family were among the 70,000 French Jews deported from the country during the Second World War and murdered by the Nazis.
Protesters dressed as Hamas terrorists, praising Hitler and carrying antisemitic placards who “would not have looked out of place in Nazi Germany” are being hunted by police amid anger at the failure to intervene during the pro-Palestinian march on Armistice Day.
A woman marched through central London carrying a placard featuring the Jewish Star of David intertwined with a swastika above the slogan, “No British politician should be a ‘friend of Israel’”.
