The Intifada Is Globalized

An anti-Semitic rampage in Amsterdam sends a disturbing message to the West.

One of the most harrowing aspects of the Hamas-led massacre on October 7, 2023, which claimed the lives of 1,200 Israelis, was the glee with which the Palestinian terrorists livestreamed their atrocities for the world to see. Just 13 months later, Jews on social media were once again confronted with footage of an anti-Semitic rampage, one that shook Amsterdam on Thursday evening, following a soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax.

Peace in the Middle East: The First Step

To embark on the path toward sustainable peace in the Middle East, it is essential to confront a fundamental truth: without addressing a crucial first step, peace across the region will remain nothing more than an illusion. This first step lies in directly confronting and ultimately changing the root cause of much of the ongoing conflict, violence, and terrorism — namely, the Islamist regime in Iran.

Over the decades, Iran’s regime has embedded itself deeply within the region’s crises, stoking unrest and sponsoring terrorism. If the Middle East is to see any genuine peace and stability, a transformation of Iran’s regime is essential.

Qatar orders Hamas to leave in major blow to terror group’s leaders

Qatar has ordered Hamas to leave the country following US pressure in a major blow to the terror group’s leaders who have long lived there in comfort.

Doha reportedly told Hamas around 10 days ago it was “no longer welcome” after the US complained the group should not have refuge in the Gulf country.

In the final weeks of his presidency, Joe Biden had been urged to pressure Qatar over hosting the potential next generation of Hamas leaders.

I bet Justin will offer sanctuary.

Terry Newman: Why Amsterdam’s chilling pogrom could happen in Canada

Thursday night, videos showing Israeli soccer fans being ambushed over a period of several hours around Amsterdam appeared on social media, many of them proudly shared by the assailants themselves, echoing how videos of the October 7 attacks were similarly shared. Some attackers rode scooters while assaulting their victims. Mobs chanted anti-Israel slogans, proudly sharing videos of the assaults where they chased, kicked and beat Israeli citizens, after which, some celebrated. Sixty-two people were arrested. All but 10 were quickly released. All of this, on the eve of Kristallnacht. Like the Netherlands, Canadian society at all levels has failed to take a strong stance against antisemitism and to prevent what’s happening in Europe from happening here. That needs to change now.

Ottawa has been speaking with like-minded countries about recognizing a Palestinian state, a government official told a committee of parliamentarians studying the quickest path toward such a declaration Thursday afternoon.

“We’re taking notes, we’re talking to each other, we’re weighing the considerations as a group of very like-minded countries,” said Alexandre Lévêque, assistant deputy minister for Europe, the Middle East and Arctic Branch.

Lévêque would not name any of the countries in question, citing the confidential nature of diplomatic conversations.

On Election Day, Biden-Harris Admin Quietly Waived Terrorism Sanctions on Palestinian Government, Docs Show

Just before Tuesday’s presidential election, the Biden-Harris administration quietly waived mandatory terrorism sanctions on the embattled Palestinian government—even as it determined that the government’s leaders are paying imprisoned terrorists and fomenting violence in breach of U.S. law.

The State Department, in a non-public notice to Congress, determined that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) are not complying with agreements to curb terrorism against Israel and end the “pay-to-slay” program, which rewards imprisoned terrorists for committing acts of violence.

The Pogrom In Amsterdam

“Globalize the Intifada!” is one of the slogans of pro-Palestinian organizations in the United States. We now see what it means as a brutal pogrom fouls the streets of Amsterdam. Just ponder this description of events in the biggest Dutch city last night:

What we know so far is that [Maccabi Tel Aviv] fans were ambushed, six are reported missing, attackers were armed with clubs and knives, Israelis were thrown into rivers and run over by cars, their passports was stolen and published online, fathers walking with their children were attacked by mobs, women were beaten in the streets, many beaten unconscious, two emergency planes have been dispatched from Ben Gurion airport to evacuate citizens immediately, the local authorities are overwhelmed …

OK so was this started by some ill-considered antics? No I’m not suggesting a pogrom was justified I’m just saying be forewarned before going off half-cocked …

From the Daily Mail …

Israeli football hooligans tear down Palestine flags in Amsterdam as taxi drivers ‘fight back’ in night of chaos ahead of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s visit to Ajax

 

This is from the Telegraph echoing the Daily Mail’s take on events …

Watch: Israeli football fans attacked by pro-Palestine mob in Amsterdam

The violence came after hundreds of Maccabi supporters gathered at the city’s National Monument in Dam Square where police made several arrests on Thursday for breach of peace.

Earlier, video shared on social media in the lead up to the football match showed the visitors were shouting “F— Palestine” and tearing down Palestinian flags.

Thank God! Former President Obama will not enjoy a fourth term

Thank God! The more gracious of the two candidates has won.

Presidential character was deemed a very important test of one’s suitability for office.

President Trump was defamed 24/7–none of his real and/or imaginary foibles or character failings were overlooked. Harris was praised 24/7 and none of her foibles ever made it into the mainstream media.

And now, the American voter has spoken. President Trump has won a “landslide” victory.

Pro-Palestinian protest at Westmount synagogue draws MPs’ condemnation

Liberal MPs Marc Miller, Anthony Housefather and Anna Gainey condemned a protest outside a synagogue in Westmount on Tuesday evening as “disgusting.”

“The protest currently underway in front of a Jewish place of worship, Shaar Hashomayim, in Montreal are a disgusting display of vitriol and beyond the pale any form of acceptable protest,” said Miller in a post on X.

UN official for Palestinian territories says she was ‘snubbed’ by Canadian government

OTTAWA—A United Nations official visiting Canada to urge the Trudeau government to increase pressure on Israel to end its war in Gaza said she was “snubbed” by the Prime Minister’s Office and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.

Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, told the Star in Ottawa on Tuesday that an invitation to meet with officials at Global Affairs Canada was abruptly withdrawn a week before she arrived to Ottawa, while a scheduled appearance before the House of Commons’ foreign affairs committee, which is currently conducting an independent study on the fastest way for Canada to recognize a Palestinian state, was also cancelled. She described herself as having been “snubbed” by the Canadian government.

Canada, radical Islam and cities of fear

Why do hate incidents against Jews in Canada vastly outnumber all other minorities?

Toronto, per capita, leads cities in the Western world in antisemitic hate incidents, which also outnumbers all other hate incidents in the city, according to B’nai Brith Canada’s impeccable statistics and confirmed by the Metropolitan Toronto Police. And these hateful incidents continue to spiral to historic highs.

In just one recent example, six students at a North Toronto primary school made the Nazi salute and neither the principal nor the parents were castigated.

No one needs UNRWA, its role can easily be filled by existing agencies

UNRWA was established for the goal of destroying the new-born state of Israel and eliminating its Jewish population, the Jewish population which survived the Holocaust and the 1948 War of Independence.

UNRWA was chartered by UN charter as a UN instrument. Its mission is to propagate the RETURN of Arabs who left their homes back to the land of Israel, with the aim of REPLACING the Jewish population living there and dismantling the Jewish state.

Justin Trudeau needs UNRWA for vote whoring.
