“Oct 7 2023”

A poppy seller claims he was punched and kicked by protesters during a pro-Palestinian demonstration at Waverley station, Edinburgh.

Video on social media showed Jim Henderson, a 78-year-old army veteran, trying to escape the protesters on Monday.

Broad swathes of Canadians are concerned about the relationship between the country’s Jewish and Muslim communities, according to a new poll.

The survey conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies found fifty-five per cent of Canadians worry about relationships between Jews and Muslims in Canada, and 50 per cent worry about the way Muslims interact with non-Muslims.

Conditions in the Gaza Strip have long been dire, with the territory referred to by some as the world’s ‘largest open air prison’.

Even before the outbreak of war in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 terror attack on Israel, half of Palestinians living in Gaza depended on food supplied by the United Nations.

Those conditions have deteriorated over the last month, as Israel continues its bombardment of the 140-square-mile Strip in its mission to destroy the Hamas terror group.

A 69-year-old Jewish man died on Monday after falling and hitting his head during an altercation with pro-Palestinian protesters in California, according to authorities.

Paul Kessler succumbed to injuries sustained at dueling demonstrations on Sunday in Thousand Oaks and authorities are investigating his death as a possible hate crime, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said.

Kessler, an Israel supporter, was involved in a scuffle with pro-Palestinian protesters around 3:20 p.m. when he suffered a head injury during the confrontation, authorities and family friends said.

“Dad, look at your WhatsApp. See how many I killed with my bare hands, Dad. Your son killed the Jews … I killed ten with my bare hands. Their blood is on my hands … I’m talking to you from a Jewish woman’s phone.”

When I’m asked — and the question is a blunt sword — what the difference is between Jewish children slaughtered by Hamas on Oct. 7 and Palestinian children torn limb from limb by Israeli bombs, my answer is this:

One is deliberate murder, the other is a horrific consequence of war.

The force’s employee reportedly said support for Israel should be seen as ‘extremist ideology’ and ‘inciting hatred against Muslims’

An employee of the Metropolitan Police is being investigated by the force for appearing to claim that support for Israel should be treated as “extremist ideology”.

Amina Ahmend, who is described on her Linkedin page as a leadership programme facilitator and project manager for the London police force, appeared to suggest that backing Israel in the conflict should be treated as a hate crime.

In a post apparently made by Ms Ahmed she said that those who support the war in Gaza “should be called out as Islamaphobic and inciting hatred against Muslims”.

Over the span of 43 minutes, I watched 138 humans be murdered or witnessed their corpses, many brutalized beyond recognition and others clearly tortured, in the direct aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel.

That’s 3.2 bodies per minute— and less than 10 per cent of the more than 1,400 people killed that day.

Palestinians are the only victims that matter

It’s almost like a religious ritual. Every Saturday since 7 October, central London has swollen with protestors waving the Palestinian flag and chanting “From the River to the Sea”. For the impartial and curious observer, two facts are immediately striking. The first is not all that mysterious: the protestors are disproportionately Muslim. The second is more of an enigma: why are they so young?

How the West’s woke radicals became Hamas’s moral spindoctors.

Is Hamas now getting its talking points from Harvard University radicals? Something’s going on.

On 7 October, the day of Hamas’s apocalyptic pogrom against the Jews of southern Israel, 34 student groups at Harvard rushed out an open letter absolving Hamas of guilt for the ongoing horror. We ‘hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence’, said the self-righteous mob from the leafy, luxurious, non-blood-spattered lawns of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Israel is ‘the only one to blame’ for what is happening today, they said (my emphasis).

Washington is frustrated that beyond bombing Gaza Netanyahu is failing to identify war aims the US thinks are attainable

An enduring British conceit, even after revelations about the ugliness of the 1950s anti-Mau Mau struggle, is that our forebears did imperial counter-insurgency nicely. In reality, while we were less cruel than the French and much less so than the Belgians, British operations relied more heavily upon force than hearts and minds.

In Kenya, though modern local estimates of 90,000 dead seem wildly exaggerated, a million people were relocated into “protected villages” and disease-ridden camps. It is sometimes claimed that we were victorious in Malaya thanks to Gen Sir Gerald Templer’s brilliant tactics. More important were Malayan loathing for the Chinese insurgents and London’s promise of independence.

If I were Israel I would not be providing the Biden regime with any more than the minimum needed.

The BBC must publish an internal report on anti-Israel bias that has been “suppressed” for almost two decades, a former attorney general has said.

Sir Michael Ellis, one of Britain’s most prominent Jewish politicians, made the demand in a letter to Tim Davie, the corporation’s director-general.

He warned that the broadcaster had “suffered worldwide reputational damage” over criticism of its reporting and its refusal to call Hamas terrorists.
