WARMINGTON: Jewish businesses in city targeted like in Berlin during 1930s

When Toronto has Jewish businesses being vandalized or targeted with a boycott, it’s clear these protesters have gone too far.

But how far will Toronto let this go?


The police do not have control of the streets.

Nothing is stopping the Hamassholes from going ape if they choose to.

Michael Higgins: Canada faults Hamas for Gaza hospital blast, but Trudeau and Joly remain oddly quiet

Is it expecting too much to hope that our prime minister and foreign affairs minister will act in a fair, principled and impartial manner? The answer, unfortunately, appears to be yes.

Perhaps Justin Trudeau is hobbled by his caucus, his own beliefs, or an inability to move as quickly as world events warrant, but the evidence is mounting that he is clearly motivated by an anti-Israel bias.

The aftermath of Hamas’s attack on Israel has exposed the West’s moral collapse

The protests we are seeing have nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with problems here at home

There is a good rule about anti-Semitism. One reason it isn’t better known is because its best expression comes at the mid-point of the 20th century’s towering work of historical fiction: Life and Fate, by Vasily Grossman.

That novel, which takes the reader from the Battle of Stalingrad to the Nazi death camps, traverses the entire dark heart of the 20th century. Yet in the very middle of its 900 pages, the great Russian writer examines the question of anti-Semitism. He says almost everything.

Anti-Semitism is something which, as Grossman writes, can be met “in the marketplace and in the Academy, in the soul of an old man and in the games children play in the yard”. He describes it as always a means rather than an end, “a measure of the contradictions yet to be resolved”.

Those militants obviously need a new realtor.

There are no “innocent” Gazans

I hope I don’t come across as being angry.

For what Hamas did to my People, I guess it’s okay to be sad, horrified, dismayed…but not angry.

As the Rebbe says, all other nations may fight to win, but only Jews must turn the other cheek. They must not be angry.

That was Biden, appropriately providing military equipment to the Israelis, then by degrees, backtracking and backsliding.

Is Ukraine now the ‘Other War’

The first indication that this was a literary festival like no other came with the request to provide “proof of life” questions in case of kidnap. I’ve been to some unusual festivals — earlier this year I found myself discussing war-rape, ancient and modern, with the classicist Mary Beard on a barefoot island in the Maldives — and had some unusual festival encounters, such as the woman who asked me to sign a book to her dead husband, adding that he was reading it when he died. This, however, was my first in a war zone. There was a polite warning from the Lviv Book Forum organizers: “If there is an airstrike, we will interrupt the event.” It’s all part of the resilience of Ukrainians, determined in the face of Russian aggression that life must go on.

The ADL has failed American Jews

The fruits of ADL’s failed policy are playing out in real time on American streets and college campuses this week.


Failed? Hell one of the ADL’s former interns was caught ripping down hostage posters. Tell me they aren’t working for Hamas;)

Check out the tweet on Twitter the ADL added several images of Massive nationwide White Supremacist anti-Israel protests with participants numbering in the low to mid Twenties as proof of their delerious claim.

Thousands of Anti-Israel Protesters Clash with Cops in NYC

Thousands of anti-Israel protesters sparked mayhem across Brooklyn streets Saturday night, clashing with NYPD officers after being repeatedly told to disperse.

The New York Post reports the “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine” demonstration quickly dissolved into chaos at sunset, with protesters shutting down traffic through Bay Ridge, screaming at NYPD officers and lighting small fires in the middle of the roadways.

Joly and Hussen at ‘Cairo Peace Summit’ to discuss Israel-Hamas War

OTTAWA — Canada’s minister of foreign affairs and the minister of international development are in Cairo today and tomorrow to take part in what is being dubbed the “Cairo Peace Summit.”

In an early morning statement, Melanie Joly and Ahmed Hussen say they will meet with their counterparts and foreign officials. It adds that they will also reiterate Canada’s unequivocal condemnation of the terror attack by Hamas two weeks ago, while highlighting Canada’s concerns over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.

In other words they’ll be Wishy one minute and Washy the next.

Imagine the outcry from these two women and their allies on the Left if demonstrators celebrated the murder of George Floyd

There are times when you wonder how history happened. And other times when you realise how it did. The past two weeks have been one such time.

The inconsistencies, naturally, have been legion. People who label everything as aggression, including microaggressions, who believe that speech is violence and that misgendering a trans person is ‘literal genocide’, are the same people who have spent the past fortnight with nothing to say, or have adopted an ‘it’s complicated’ stance, when Jews are slaughtered in their hundreds.

I expect a Gaza invasion will result in some very large Hamas support rallies in Toronto.

Trudeau confronted during Toronto-area mosque visit as calls mount for Israel-Hamas ceasefire

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced calls for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas during an unannounced visit to a Toronto-area mosque on Friday.

“Shame on you. How many more Palestinian children need to be slaughtered?” a woman in the crowd is heard telling Trudeau outside the mosque. “How many more before you call for a ceasefire?”

In a video provided to CBC News by a community member in attendance, Trudeau is seen inside the International Muslims Organization (IMO) Mosque in Etobicoke, Ont., trying to speak to the crowd. At one point, a man is heard yelling “Shame.” Another man is heard asking Trudeau, “Do you condemn Israel?”

None condemned Hamas I see.

Palestinian supporters nearly march onto Gardiner Expwy. during protest

Thousands of supporters attending a demonstration against Israel’s bombing of Gaza blocked downtown streets and nearly marched onto the Gardiner Expwy. on Saturday.

Only the Tamils got away with shutting down the Gardiner this way previously … Oddly the Tamil Tigers were backed into a corner much like Gaza and steamrolled out of existence. Will history repeat?

Israel strikes militant compound under West Bank mosque, military says

RAMALLAH, West Bank, Oct 22 (Reuters) – Israeli aircraft struck a compound beneath a mosque in the occupied West Bank early on Sunday that the military said was being used by militants to organise attacks, and Palestinian medics said at least one person was killed.

The Israeli air strike is at least the second in recent days to hit the West Bank, where violence has surged since Hamas gunmen from Gaza carried out a deadly Oct. 7 rampage in Israel.

Some schools in Canada avoid discussing Israel-Hamas war, leaving students on their own

I’d like to see a TDSB teacher supply context for this at Valley Park etc.

With many family members living in Israel, the current Israel-Hamas war weighs heavily on the mind of Toronto teen Lior Markus. “I think about it — literally — constantly,” the Grade 11 student said.

Over the past two weeks, he expected some mention of the situation at school — an acknowledgement during morning announcements, maybe, or one of his teachers touching on the subject during law class or sociology.

The 16-year-old said he’s shocked that talk of the ongoing violence has pretty much been only among students themselves: at a Jewish heritage club meeting he attended and in casual chats with Jewish and non-Jewish classmates.

Dave Chappelle Condemns Israel for “Killing Innocent Women and Children” in Gaza

Dave Chappelle weighed in on the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas during a recent standup gig in Boston, The Wall Street Journal reports. On stage at the TD Garden, the comedian condemned the attacks by the militant group on Israel before questioning the country’s own increasingly severe retaliations, proclaiming, “two wrongs don’t make a right.”

According to two people who attended the show, Chappelle criticized the Israeli government for cutting off water and electricity to civilians in the Gaza Strip and accused it of “killing innocent women and children” with American taxpayer dollars “while the whole world sits silently and watches.” At one point, a heckler shouted for the comedian to shut up, but after doubling down, other audience members cheered for Chappelle and broke into a chant of “Free Palestine.”

“You’re damn right, Free Palestine,” Chappelle reportedly responded, before discussing his Muslim faith.
