Commons committee to debate motion on quickest path to Palestinian statehood

MPs on the House of Commons foreign affairs committee are expected to resume a contentious debate later this morning on the quickest path for Canada to recognize a Palestinian state.

The text of the motion — first presented to a closed-doors session of the committee last Thursday by Liberal MPs — asks committee members to dedicate four sessions to studying the matter, sources told CBC News last week.

CBC News agreed not to identify the sources as they were not authorized to comment publicly on the matter.

Liberals and the NDP luv the Muslim vote.

‘It’s disgusting’: Ford calls for investigation into Toronto school field trip that ended at ‘Palestinian rally’

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) should investigate how some students on a recent school field trip ended up at a rally(opens in a new tab) where pro-Palestinian slogans were shouted.

“It’s disgraceful… [The students] should be in the classroom learning about reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, the whole shebang, but instead, the TDSB and these teachers want to bring them down to a rally, a Palestinian rally, and it’s ridiculous,” Ford said at an unrelated news conference on Monday.

Get out of the way, Israel warns Lebanese after missile barrage

Netanyahu takes country to brink of all-out war with Hezbollah as IDF claims to have hit 1,300 targets across southern Lebanon

Benjamin Netanyahu warned Lebanese civilians “to get out of harm’s way” on Monday after Israel embarked on a full-scale air offensive against Hezbollah.

As his forces launched a devastating wave of attacks across Lebanon, the Israeli prime minister urged residents living in Hezbollah strongholds to flee their homes rather than allow the Iran-backed movement to use them as “human shields”.

“Israel’s war is not with you,” he said in a televised message. “It is with Hezbollah.”

NDP urges government to recognize Palestinian statehood, sanction Israeli officials

OTTAWA – The NDP is urging the Liberals to recognize Palestinian statehood, warning that a Conservative government would not protect international law in the Middle East.

NDP foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson is accusing the Trudeau government of lacking courage to advance its stated goal of helping a two-state solution, where Israel and a Palestinian country exist peacefully.

McPherson is calling for Canada to sanction far-right ministers in Israel who have suggested it would be justified to starve Palestinians and that some communities should be annihilated.

Hezbollah’s many friends in the West

After October 7, it was clear how well Hamas had cultivated public relations in the West. The same goes for Hezbollah. And it gets worse.

Sometimes it seems that the UN Secretary General draws inspiration from George Orwell’s “1984” for his press releases. Like when he said that October 7 did not happen “out of nowhere”. In short, Israel was asking for it.

Regarding the explosions against Hezbollah in Beirut, Antonio Guterres asked “not to turn civilian objects into weapons”. It is not right to detonate pagers and walkie talkies in the pockets of Lebanese Shiite terrorists. It goes without saying that the Secretary General did not ask himself why the Iranian ambassador to Beirut, Mojtaba Amani, also had a Hezbollah pager. The UN does not do well on asking itself such questions.

Zion: A Place Worth Defending

The concept of home resonates deeply in all those searching for connection, peace, love, permanence and tranquility. This is particularly so for Jews, who have been scattered among alien cultures for countless generations. Their common faith and the ideal of a home — with specific focus on Israel — has enabled them to maintain their sense of identity and culture despite tremendous odds, barely surviving in hostile lands.

Defense establishment in disagreement on Sinwar’s possible death

The IDF stated on Sunday that they can neither confirm nor deny reports on the possible death of Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar.

Among sources consulted by The Jerusalem Post, a top source poured cold water on the notion, another source – who would be expected to have information – said they had no real information on it, while others noted disagreements within the defense establishment.

Report: Hezbollah pagers were detonated individually; attackers knew who and where the target was

Each of the pagers that exploded on their Hezbollah owners across Lebanon on Tuesday, injuring thousands of the terror group’s operatives, was individually detonated, with the attackers knowing who was being targeted, where he was, and whether others were in close proximity, Channel 12 claims.

In a lengthy report quoting Israeli and foreign sources, the TV channel says those behind the attack were determined to ensure that only the person carrying the pager would be hurt by the blast.

Barbara Kay: A seed of hope for the return of Muslim Zionism

As the first anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 pogrom in southern Israel approaches, Jewish communities feel mounting dread, imagining the nefarious ways in which our enemies may choose to “commemorate” it.

Earlier this month, a Pakistani man in Canada on a student visa was intercepted near the U.S. border, allegedly en route to New York with a “stated goal of slaughtering, in the name of ISIS, as many Jewish people as possible,” according to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.

This was not a Palestinian, or someone affiliated with Hamas — just some random antisemitic Islamist eagerly answering the call to “globalize the intefadeh” on what jihadists consider a glorious anniversary. How many others are out there who aren’t under RCMP surveillance? It’s rational to wonder.

Faint hope is better than none.

Dishonourable Liberals keep turning on Israel

The two principal foreign and strategic crises of this year, Ukraine and Israel, the federal government has a defensible record on the first but not on the second. In both cases it appears to be motivated entirely by domestic political equations without a glance at strategic requirements, let alone the course of national honour. For a country where Prime Ministers Chrétien, Harper, and Justin Trudeau have allowed our military capabilities to atrophy so badly that the chief assurance of our national security is to keep the telephone number of the Pentagon constantly at hand when we need the Americans to protect us, this government’s policy toward the Gaza war, in addition to being completely mistaken, is also extremely pompous. (Paul Martin wanted to explore the possibilities of Canada taking responsibility for its own defense, but his government was defeated before he could get to grips with this issue; the fact that he even thought of it should not be forgotten.)

Assessing the imminent risks of an Iran-Israel nuclear war

Death To Israel Missile Iran

Though Iran is not-yet-nuclear, an asymmetrical nuclear war with Israel is still possible. Even a conventional war in the region could elicit calibrated nuclear operations by Israel. Any such unprecedented war scenario is most worrisome in circumstances wherein Iran would target Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor and/or employ radiation dispersal weapons against the Jewish State. Similarly, unique escalations could follow in the wake of an Iranian resort to biological or electromagnetic pulse (EMP) ordnance.

Who knows know what the Mullahs think about a nuclear war but naming a missile “Death to Israel” is likely a broad hint.

It Is Biden and Harris Who Are Not Doing Enough to Free the Hostages

US President Joe Biden’s off-the-cuff, one-word answer — “no”— to the question of whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was doing enough to free Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity and get a cease-fire, will only encourage Hamas to up its demands and refuse to agree to a reasonable deal. So far, it appears as if Hamas, instead of negotiating, has just been saying, “no.” The US is reportedly no longer expecting a ceasefire before the November 5 US presidential election.

Biden’s remark sends a dangerous message to Israel’s and America’s enemies that, by continuing to terrorize and hold hostages, they can turn the Biden administration against Israel.

Hezbollah’s takeover of Lebanon has strangled a nation ravaged by chaos and in-fighting

Lebanon was once so accustomed to the sounds of war that its parrots learned how to imitate the whistle of incoming shells.

An African Grey called Coco, which inhabited the lobby of Beirut’s Commodore Hotel, was so good at making the noise that unwitting guests would fling themselves under tables to take cover.

Lebanon’s civil war ended 34 years ago and with it the days when the Commodore’s deadpan receptionist asked new arrivals if they preferred a room “on the car bomb side or the rocket side” of the hotel.
