A Montreal lawyer has filed a hate crime complaint after he and his wife, both Jewish, were confronted by a demonstrator at a Palestinian rally calling out “Heil, heil, heil” at them during their visit to Halifax.

Dan Goldstein, 51, had travelled from Montreal with his wife, Liat Lev-Ary, to visit Nova Scotia, and on Aug. 6, after touring the Halifax Public Gardens, they went for lunch. They followed their phone’s map to get to a restaurant, Goldstein said.

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced this week that it had canceled its invitation to screen a documentary about the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, due to ostensible copyright concerns stemming from the fact that the filmmakers did not receive permission from the Hamas terrorists whose clips are featured in the film.

Conrad Black: There’s Only One Way to End the Israel–Hamas War

Though it is being widely attacked as an unjustified use of force, the announced Israeli intention to take control of Gaza and eliminate Hamas as a terrorist organization is eminently justified by Hamas’s outrages against Israel. It is also the only possible way of bringing peace to the Arabs and the Jews of the area.

There is perhaps some symmetry in the fact that these biblical lands provide—even in the 21st Christian century, and more than 5,000 years after the identifiable origins of the Jewish people—a place of severe contention and of almost impenetrable hypocritical posturing by a great many nations of the world. The neighbouring Arab powers make the usual formulaic statements of sympathy for the Palestinians, but because the Palestinian extremists are affiliated with terrorist insurgent organizations in their own countries, they will not receive any Palestinian refugees.

Israeli strike in Gaza slays Anas al-Sharif, who Israel says posed as an ‘Al Jazeera’ journalist while directing rocket attacks for Hamas

 

Dead journalist Anas al-Sharif had the bad luck to be frequently pictured with Muslim terrorists.

The Israel Defense Forces killed Anas al-Sharif, who Israel says posed as a journalist for the Qatari Al Jazeera network but was actively serving as the head of a Hamas terrorist cell.

Al-Sharif, who was slain in Gaza City on Saturday, was responsible for orchestrating and advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops, the Israeli military said.


Rachel and pals are incensed at the NATPO’s callous treatment of their Muslim terrorist hero.

In defence of whataboutery

Did you know that 652 children have starved to death in Nigeria over the past six months? Did you know that in the north-east of that benighted nation, where a jihadist insurgency is raging and international aid is running thin, a savage hunger stalks the land? Did you know that five million people there are ‘severely hungry’, and that the World Food Programme is only able to feed 1.3million of them? Don’t feel ashamed if you haven’t heard about any of this. Few have. For it has been cruelly drowned out, ruthlessly demoted down the hierarchy of human concern, by what can only be described as the unhinged Gaza infatuation of our Israelophobic elites.

Benjamin Netanyahu said his plan to expand military action in Gaza is “the best way to end the war”.

Hellbent on arrest, more than 360 activists of outlawed Palestine Action goad police to detain them – at cost of up to £3million for taxpayers

Militant protesters were accused of a ‘colossal’ waste of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money after more than 360 deliberately forced police to arrest them by brandishing signs supporting the outlawed group Palestine Action.

During a day of chaos and farce, Left-wing activists swamped Parliament Square in London today in support of the organisation, which was proscribed by the Government last month as a terrorist group.

Hundreds held placards declaring ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action’ in deliberate acts of law-breaking designed to overwhelm police resources and the courts.
