Canada ‘evaluating’ relationship with Israel after Qatar attack: Foreign affairs minister

Canada’s foreign affairs minister said Wednesday that Ottawa is “evaluating” its relationship with Israel in the wake of that country’s attack in Qatar — but wouldn’t expand on what that evaluation entails.

“We are evaluating the relationship with Israel. Of course, the attack yesterday on Qatar was one that was unacceptable. It was a violation of Qatari airspace. There were deaths on the ground at a time when Qatar was trying to facilitate peace,” Anita Anand told reporters at the Liberal caucus retreat in Edmonton.

Microsoft Under Siege

Pro-Palestinian activists are disrupting one of America’s most powerful tech giants.

Pro-Palestinian activists have found a new target: Microsoft. Radicals have disrupted the company’s keynote speech; organized encampments and other demonstrations at its headquarters; sent a kayak “flotilla” to the homes of Microsoft executives; and staged an “occupation” of Microsoft president Brad Smith’s office, where they allegedly tried to plant listening devices.

The leader of the campaign is No Azure for Apartheid, a group of current and former Microsoft employees. The group, whose name references the company’s cloud-computing platform, has called on Microsoft to terminate its Azure contracts with the Israeli government, publicly endorse a ceasefire, pay reparations to Palestinians, and “ensure the safety of Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and allied employees.”

Several explosions were heard in the city by witnesses. It is not yet clear the extent of the damage or casualties.

Greta Thunberg’s Gaza flotilla hit by drone, organisers claim – Tunisia claims climate goblin with the bad haircut was hopped up on dope

Tunisian authorities have denied claims that one of the Gaza-bound vessels carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists including Greta Thunberg was attacked by a drone.

The organisers of the flotilla, Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), said that the Portuguese-flagged vessel had been struck by a drone while anchored outside the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. All six passengers and crew were safe, they added.

A spokesperson for Tunisia’s national guard told the Agence France-Presse news agency that “no drone” had been detected and the investigation was ongoing.

Here we are: Jewish writer banned from Europe’s literary festivals

There is not much freedom of speech in Gaza, but Europe is not doing much better.

The West complains that foreign journalists are not allowed to enter Gaza. But a Jewish writer being barred from a book fair in France in 2025, what is that?

The participation of writer and essayist Raphaël Enthoven in the Besançon literary festival has been canceled. “Raphaël Enthoven’s recent controversial statements risk compromising the smooth running of the literary festival,” a spokesperson said. “Under these circumstances, the organizer, Grand Besançon Métropole, asked the event service provider to cancel his participation at the end of September.”

A Member of Congress Applauds Terror Sympathizers

At the People’s Conference for Palestine, Michigan representative Rashida Tlaib appeared alongside convicted killers and speakers who glorified Hamas.

A strain of thought has gained popularity in progressive circles that’s fairly summarized by this post on X: “If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.” The principle is that some views are so abhorrent that failing to challenge them on any given occasion is tantamount to accepting them.

This line of thinking should raise an uncomfortable question for Israel bashers. What does it mean when a sitting member of Congress speaks at a conference attended by hundreds of terrorism sympathizers?

Palestinian Journalists Attacked – By Whom?

A recent international campaign to express solidarity with Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip has pointed an accusing finger at Israel, while ignoring the suffering they have experienced under Hamas’s rule during the past two decades.

The global media campaign of more than 150 outlets from 70 countries, coordinated by a group called Reporters Without Borders, also ignored allegations that many of the Palestinian journalists targeted by the Israel Defense Forces were affiliated with Hamas and other terror groups.

The Jews’ coming civil war

The majority are battling ultra-nationalists to their right and Israel-hating ‘progressives’ to their left.

Whether right or left, Muslim or Christian, anti-Semites speak of Jews as people who pull the strings in culture, politics and especially finance. They assume we are all united in this conspiracy. In reality, not only is there no conspiracy, we Jews are also as divided among ourselves as any other people.

Avi Benlolo: A void of moral courage at the very heart of the Liberal party

Leadership in the fight against antisemitism is measured not by words, but by action. This week, Quebec MP Anthony Housefather and 31 of his Liberal colleagues signed a statement on “the deplorable rise of antisemitism in Canada.”

It was a clear, moral and necessary acknowledgement of the hatred that is endangering Jewish-Canadians. The statement recognized that a Jewish woman was stabbed in Ottawa solely because she was Jewish; that synagogues, schools and Jewish-owned businesses are under threat; that monuments have been defaced; and that this reality has become chillingly normalized in our country.

A lack of moral courage? Nonsense they made a practical choice.

They just don’t want to upset the Muslims they imported and it’s not a fear of losing the Mohammedan vote bloc.

The LPC likes having these thugs on their side, they’ll come in handy as protection against Canadian citizens.

International Association of Genocide Scholars is Surprisingly Muslim

The International Association of Genocide Scholars falsely accused Israel of genocide.

The IAGS had refused to condemn the Hamas massacres of Oct 7 but has now popped up to prop up Hamas war propaganda. This may seems surprising because the organization uses a picture from Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum, and an Elie Wiesel quote on its front page, but the membership is light on Jews and surprisingly Muslim.

Arabs Not Interested in Seeing Hamas Disarm

In an unprecedented move, the Arab League, which represents 22 Arab countries, on July 30, called on the Iran-backed Palestinian group Hamas to lay down its weapons and relinquish control of the Gaza Strip. Hamas rejected the call. How did the Arab countries respond to Hamas’s rejecting their request? Instead of calling out Hamas for causing death and destruction in the Gaza Strip, they condemned Israel.

Earlier this year, a senior Arab League official, Hossam Zaki, was quoted as saying that it would be in the interests of the Palestinian people if Hamas ceded control of the Gaza Strip. As usual, Hamas rejected the call. Since then — and before — the Arab League has repeatedly denounced Israel for fighting against the terror group responsible for the October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel, the worst crime against Jews since the 1940s.
