Thousands of lives were forever altered and upended when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, butchering more than 1,200 people and kidnapping 251 others.
Those hostages whom Hamas abducted and dragged to Gaza as human shields and bargaining chips quickly became a rallying cry.

The fact that people are celebrating on this solemn anniversary shows how deeply entrenched antisemitism has become
One year ago today, Hamas terrorists launched the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, committing horrific atrocities. Since that day, Canadian Jews have existed in an extended state of mourning and grief, not only because of the horrific massacre and the ongoing captivity of the hostages trapped in the tunnels of Gaza, but also because of the denial, justification and even celebration of these events. The Jewish community should have had time to grieve, but were instead forced to grapple with new waves of antisemitism here in Canada.
Well Golly Gee Deb what can little old me do about it?
I didn’t import a hate cult by the hundreds of thousands, successive Canadian governments of all stripes did that.
It wasn’t me that encouraged “newcomers” to bring their ethnic and religious hatreds along with them. Multicult did that.
And if our universities churn out frothing at the mouth lunatics well it’s what our elites wanted and they know best.
Heck our current government subsidizes “anti-racist” hate groups that seek to criminalize dissent but only “right-wing dissent” lead by the brightest lights of Canada’s vibrant diversity.
If we did speak out about it we’d risk being called racists or worse Islamophobes!
I support Israel pity my own government seeks to rob me of my own nation.
No need for you and your tone deaf cronies to look in the mirror though.
No idea who these people are but I bet they probably would have called me a racist or Islamophobe on Oct 6. Heck they probably still do.
Its been one year since the horrific attacks of Oct 7 took place which saw hundreds taken hostage, and thousands killed or injured.
Words cannot describe the pain that so many felt, and still feel to this day.

Hamas fired five rockets at central Israel from Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, the IDF said on Monday, following the rocket sirens that sounded in the area starting at 11:00 a.m. local time.
Alerts sounded in Tel Aviv, Kfar Chabad, and Rishon Lezion, among other localities in the country’s center.
The military noted that rocket impacts had been identified.
No going back. I wonder what the ME will look like a year from today.
A year after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, a new Leger poll suggests younger and left-wing Canadians are markedly more likely to support Hamas, while older and right-of-centre Canadians favour Israel. The poll was commissioned by the Association for Canadian Studies for the National Post.
The US has reportedly offered Israel a “compensation package” if it refrains from attacking certain targets in Iran, according to a report in Kan11 on Sunday.
Amichai Stein told them that he had received reports from US officials that the US had offered Israel a “compensation package” if it refrained from hitting specific targets in Iran.
I don’t think Joe is being consulted.
One year on, Jews in the West have had time to process the primary shock of Hamas’s pogrom in southern Israel and the secondary shock of hateful blowback against Israel and Jews worldwide. We learned in a span of hours that where lethal antisemitism is concerned, “never again” was for us a mere objective, not a guarantee against those consumed by a mission of “again and again and again.”
As most Canadians went quietly about their Saturday afternoon, thousands of their fellow citizens took over the streets of Toronto in support of terrorists. The chants, the flags, the signs were all to mark the start of several days of commemoration of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks one year ago.
Listen to the chant.
“We don’t want two states! Bring us back to ‘48!”
They move from that to “From the river to sea, Palestine will be free.”
They are clearly telling you they don’t want Israel to exist, there is no room for Jews in Jerusalem of anywhere else for these guys. pic.twitter.com/h10DmLjrLT— Brian Lilley (@brianlilley) October 5, 2024
Independent student groups formerly affiliated with Montreal’s McGill and Concordia universities have sparked outrage with a planned coordinated campus “flood” to mark the first anniversary of the October 7 terror onslaught in southern Israel, which Hamas dubbed the “Al-Aqsa Flood.”
The event, promoted as a commemoration of “the historic breach of the colonial border wall and a year of Palestinian resistance,” encourages students to walk out of class and “flood” the campus in protest of what organizers call “a year of genocide.” Promotional materials feature an image of Gazans celebrating atop a stolen Israeli military vehicle on October 7 — a visual that many interpret as glorifying acts of terror.
No surprise there.
With the anniversary of the Hamas atrocities of October 7 falling on Monday, Gaza reduced to rubble and graves, 101 Israelis still in captivity and the streets of Canada’s cities routinely erupting in the worst spasms of Jew hatred in living memory, cause for hope is sparse and meagre.
But some hope can be taken in the evidence that after a year of war, Israel appears to be winning. Although backed by the torture-state alliance of Iran, China and Russia, the heavily-armed Islamist forces arrayed against the Jewish state, from Lebanon to Yemen and beyond, have not prevailed.
Definitely winning the war to date.
They should finish off Iran and that may not require a full scale confrontation, decapitation may create enough breathing room for citizens to rise up.
How a year of war a world away has cast a shadow over Canada’s biggest city
It has been a year of grief, anger and anguish.
A war a world away has cast its shadow over the residents of Toronto, one of the world’s most culturally diverse cities, with connections to every part of the globe.
The Hamas attack on Israel a year ago Monday and the ensuing 12 months of Israeli retaliation in Gaza and beyond, the latest brutal chapter in a decades-long conflict, have profoundly affected this city and its residents.
I take solace from the thought of all those White Liberal Voters enjoying Toronto’s burgeoning diversity as the city sinks deeper into the crapper.
Like I’ve been saying …
They now know FULL WELL that NO politician or police force will do a thing.
Because the politicians don’t want to give up the ghouls’ voting power and the cops know that to confront the savages will just make them more savage.
So just watch this get FAR FAR worse. https://t.co/edQZXlyWws

One was killed and at least nine wounded in a terror attack after shots were heard at the Beersheba Central Bus Station in southern Israel on Sunday, the police said, qualifying the incident as a terror attack.
Magen David Adom (MDA) said its paramedics were providing medical treatment at the scene to nine individuals who had been wounded with various degrees of injuries, with reports of more.

Protesters brandishing banners in support of the terror group Hezbollah marched through central London on Saturday.
Police made more than a dozen arrests as tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian activists staged a demonstration through the capital to Whitehall, ahead of the first anniversary of the Oct 7 attacks by Hamas on southern Israel.
In the crowd were several marchers who held placards and banners expressing their support for Hezbollah, the terror group that has controlled swathes of Beirut and southern Lebanon and launched repeated attacks on Israel in recent weeks.

A sea of red, black, white and green filled Yonge-Dundas Square on Saturday, as thousands of people wearing keffiyehs and waving Palestinian and Lebanese flags gathered to mark one year since the Oct 7. attacks that sparked the biggest war in the Middle East in a generation.
“We will not be pushed aside. We stand with Gaza side by side,” they chanted in Toronto as marches took place across Canada and around the world in Paris, Manila, Cape Town and other major cities amid reports of new Israeli airstrikes in Beirut, which have killed 1,400 people in less than two weeks.
Why aren’t the criminals who invited a death cult to settle here in shackles?
Toronto has become the center of a large joint allegiance consisting of IRGC Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, all of whom practice Sharia Law.

The British rock band Pink Floyd’s entire catalog of hits has reportedly suffered a stunning devaluation of $100 million, thanks in large part to frontman Roger Waters’ outbursts against Israel, including his outrageous claim that the October 7 Hamas terror attacks were justified.
The most civic engagement I have witnessed in Canada has been over the last year. Sounds lovely, right? It sounds suggestive of a much-needed renaissance within Canadian civil society. But alas, it was not.
Sadly, the civic engagement I have witnessed in Canada over the past year has been enacted by shills for terrorist organizations, organized street mobs braying for genocide, while falsely accusing Israel of the same, and by Canadians celebrating October 7 and (we can only assume) the killing, raping, or burning of victims — some babies — and the kidnapping of hostages that occurred on that terrible day one year ago. In our capital, Canadians shouted “Long live October 7!” Useful idiots.
