Early yesterday morning, Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets and mortars from Southern Lebanon towards Israeli military positions along the border between the two countries. The group cited the strikes as revenge for the Israel Defence Force’s assassination of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr last month.

Hezbollah claims it managed to fire 320 rockets and drones at Israel. The IDF asserts that the number is far lower, and responded almost immediately with artillery strikes targeting the launch sites in Lebanon and specific Hezbollah observation posts near the border.

The Canadian Muslim Lawyers Association in a brief submitted to the Commons Justice Committee Canadians complained anti-Israel street protestors have been facing workplace shaming.

Pro-Hamas demonstrators face blacklisting and workplace reprisal, the association said. The brief follows complaints by a cabinet advisor that employers won’t hire activists,” according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

On May 15, 1948, five Arabs armies started a war – and lost. From that time on, many Arabs have called this loss a “nakba” (“catastrophe”). Ever since then, they have been seeking sympathy for losing a war which they began. If they are unhappy, perhaps they should not have started a war in the first place.

On that May 15, forces from Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon, and Iraq “swooped in… just hours after British forces withdrew from Palestine and Israel had declared its independence.” Until then, anyone born there was a Palestinian. Christians were Palestinians, Jews were Palestinians. The “place of birth” on every passport was stamped “Palestine.”

As students prepare to head back to post-secondary campuses for the fall term, tensions sparked by the pro-Palestinian protest encampments that cropped up at several Ontario universities over the summer break are lingering on for some.

Several students who supported or participated in the protests say they’re disappointed in how their schools handled the encampments, while some Jewish students say they’re anxious about returning to campuses where conversations about the Israel-Hamas war could be particularly charged.

Gaza is not only a problem for the Israelis but for much of the world as well. It is a telling fact that no Arab states have opened their doors to Gazan refugees, recognizing as did Jordan in 1970 during the Black September movement that the Palestinians were a destabilizing force. Jordan expelled the cohort to Lebanon where it has since effectively destroyed the country. The surrounding Arab states are no fools and want nothing to do with Gaza. To counter their indifference, the ever-credulous West has taken up the slack out of “compassion” or political calculation — more grateful voters.

The IDF and Hezbollah entered a new, much more dangerous phase of the conflict in the North early Sunday morning, with hundreds of air force jets striking thousands of Hezbollah rocket attack platforms.

With Israeli intelligence observing that Hezbollah was about to launch its largest attack of the current war, including to the Tel Aviv and central Israel areas, around 5:00 a.m., the IDF preemptively and independently struck targets where Hezbollah was on the verge of firing on Israel.

In the theatre of social media, most individuals who express views that are racist, sexist, discriminatory or out of sync with social norms are shamed into retracting their views — at least publicly. The exception to this rule seems to be Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario president Fred Hahn.

The policies of the Biden-Harris administration, including turning a blind eye to Iran’s nuclear advancements, its destabilizing actions in the Middle East and the release of billions of dollars to the Iranian terror empire, have undoubtedly empowered Iran’s regime, granting it the freedom to pursue its Islamist fundamentalist ambitions, including its ultimate goals of annihilating Israel and disabling the United States.
