Howard Levitt: Are enforcing the law and denouncing terrorism too much to ask for?

Hamas supporters – Avenue Road

What lies ahead for our way of life in what has become a civilizational struggle?

First, some context. A poll released in December by Palestinian pollster Khalil Shikaki found that 57 per cent of respondents in Gaza and 82 per cent in the West Bank supported Hamas’ decision to attack Israel on Oct. 7. It is not the case, as their apologists claim, that Hamas is holding Gazans hostage. Gaza largely is Hamas, voted for it in in large numbers and the group continues to be widely popular there. Indeed, it is far more popular among its citizenry than are most governments, including our own. And that is despite the fact — perhaps because of the fact — that it makes no secret of its terrorist ideology. Yet Justin Trudeau has moved, with no tenable protection for Canadians, to admit an unlimited number of Gazans into this country, as long as they can show any extended family relationship with a Canadian.

Hating Fido: Going to Malmö? Leave your doggie at home.

Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden, has been notorious for years as a particularly dangerous place for people who don’t happen to be Muslim. Now comes the news that it’s not terribly safe for dogs, either. More on this in a moment. For now let’s just point out that this makes sense, given that the creatures who, in the Western world, are known as man’s best friend are, in Muslim societies, considered unclean.

Mexico or Belgium? Calls To Mobilise Army As Gang War Sweeps Brussels

A series of gangland-style killings in inner-city Brussels has highlighted the city’s continued descent into narco-terrorism, with one local mayor warning that drug gangs have “taken the city hostage.”

Police descended on the southern municipality of Saint-Gilles early on Wednesday morning as locals reported the fatal shooting of a local dealer by rivals just hours after a similar gun attack in the same area.

For the first time in my life, I’m now beginning to think Britain is finished

The country’s self-image as tolerant, decent and hard-working is being smashed. It’s only going to get worse

Britain’s decline over the past 25 years has been staggeringly rapid. Almost everything is getting worse, and almost nothing is getting better. Our public and private institutions are broken, presided over by an incompetent, selfish and narcissistic ruling class. Living standards, when adjusted properly for living and property costs, are declining.

Even the simplest things don’t work any longer. Queuing, scarcity and congestion are rife, our infrastructure is embarrassingly poor, and the honest and hardworking face endless bureaucratic battles to obtain what they are due. Free riding, crime, disorder, fraud, littering and generalised rule-bending are rife, and all too often tolerated by apathetic citizens and an indifferent state. Britain’s residual virtues, our individualism, independence of mind, tolerance and openness, uniquely appealing features of our national character, are fading.

Read this and sub Canada for Britain.

Mohammedan family jailed after poisoning bride in row over housework

A family who left a young bride in a vegetative state after she was poisoned with prescription pills and doused with a corrosive substance have been jailed for seven years.

The victim, Ambreen Fatima Sheikh, 39, originally from Pakistan, was “tricked or forced” into taking glimepiride — a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes — in July 2015 because she had “not lived up to expectations” following her arranged marriage to Asgar Sheikh.

Judge who let terror offence women walk free admitted liking post branding Israel a ‘terrorist’

Tanweer Ikram Jew Hating Judge

A row has broken out after a judge who decided to let three women wearing parachute images at a pro-Palestine march walk free admitted to liking a social media post branding Israel a ‘terrorist’.

Tanweer Ikram is facing calls to be investigated for a conflict of interest after he liked a LinkedIn post calling for a ‘free Palestine ‘ by a barrister who had previously promoted conspiracy theories claiming that Israel allowed the October 7 attack.

The senior district judge admitted to liking the post ‘by mistake’ three weeks ago, but was told by the Judicial Office that the matter would not be investigated further.

Trudeau is not afraid to spend your money to secure the Islamist vote: Ottawa cancels $440,000-a-week rescue ship for Lebanon

The federal government paid to have a “high-speed” ship on stand-by to evacuate Canadians in Lebanon, then later canceled the $440,000-a-week contract after five weeks, deciding it wasn’t needed after all, officials say.

Joining with one or more other countries to put the ship on retainer — and later scrapping the deal — underscores the tricky logistical and political challenges Ottawa faces around the conflict on Israel’s border with Lebanon.

Platitude of the day … Trudeau calls demonstration outside Mount Sinai a ‘reprehensible’ display of antisemitism

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a demonstration outside of Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday a “reprehensible” display of antisemitism.

Trudeau posted a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, in response to reports of a protest outside of the institution, which was founded by the Jewish community in Toronto over a century ago.

h/t Sweetpea


Aroma Cafe, Mount Sinai, Davos, Crowncrack.com, Soho Theatre and many more instances of anti-Semitism reported in just the last 48 hours.

It seems an international coordinated effort is underway to push the boundaries of publicly acceptable anti-Semitism. 

Gone are the days when a Swastika or a chant of “From the river to the sea” were the “extreme”.

The goal now is to intimidate people and institutions with an implied if not actual threat of violence.

The brazen unashamed thugs tearing up hostage posters and the open support of Hamas atrocities as legitimate resistance were my first clues that a page had been turned.

Though the numbers of Pro- Hamas protesters marauding about are smaller today their choice of targets has succeeded in pushing the envelope and making the streets of Toronto “safer” for worse acts of anti-semitism to come.

Large-scale protests are inevitable and given the size of the GTA’s Muslim diaspora potentially very violent.

Will our police be prepared? I don’t know. This is a hot potato our politicians hope just goes away without having to risk the Islamist vote.

This is the Canada we live in. The Canada destroyed by identity politics and the mass immigration of incompatible cultures.

Pro-Palestinian protesters ‘meant paraglider image as peace symbol’

Sure Jan.

Two women accused of sticking images of paragliders on their backs at a pro-Palestinian march were actually displaying a “cartoon parachute” used as a “symbol of peace”, lawyers have claimed.

Heba Alhayek, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, allegedly wore the pictures of paragliders at a march in central London seven days after militants from Hamas used paragliders to enter Israel from Gaza on October 7.

A third woman, Noimutu Olayinka Taiwo, 27, is accused of displaying the paraglider picture on a placard at the protest.

‘Jihad Capital’ Claim Brings on a Torrent of Selective Outrage

There’s more anger at a Wall Street Journal op-ed for noticing radical rhetoric in Dearborn than at the rhetoric itself.

Democrats and journalists are upset at the Wall Street Journal.

They can’t explain why, exactly. They only know the paper did a terrible thing.

“27,000 people dead in Gaza,” Washington Post Baghdad bureau chief Louisa Loveluck, currently reporting on the war in Gaza, wrote last week on social media, “most of them civilians, as the world’s most powerful newspapers publish stories likening Arabs to insects, aid operations to terrorist outfits, and an entire Muslim community in Michigan to jihadists. The world is upside down.”

We may have been scammed by asylum seekers, admits Church of England

The Church of England has admitted for the first time that it may have been “scammed” by asylum seekers falsely claiming to have converted to Christianity to boost their chances of staying in the UK.

The Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani, the Bishop of Chelmsford, conceded it was “very difficult” to look into the hearts of converts and be 100 per cent certain that they were genuine.

Oh No! Not Another Hamas Apologist Article From The Star!

How Western media treats the ‘Islamic threat’

Edward Said, a Palestinian Christian scholar, wrote that those who control Western media are powerful and can be dangerous because they are able to shape peoples’ thoughts. Said’s book “Covering Islam” opened my eyes as a student and framed my engagement with the media.

In the post-cold-war era the West had moved from the “red scare” to the “green menace.” The flavour of the day, or more accurately flavour for the decades to come became the “Islamic threat.” Said’s Occident v. orient thesis popularized in his book, “Orientalism,” became more vivid.

Then as a lawyer in the wake of 9/11, Said’s thesis came alive again, but this time the zeitgeist broadened to go beyond foreign Muslims, to include Western Muslims like me. Through some Western eyes, even the “them” living among “us” can be the “enemy.”


Can be the enemy? We’re all those terror attacks listed by TROP committed by Christadelphians?

Islam is the enemy. It is a 5th Column whose goal is the destruction of the West.

Éric Zemmour: ‘I am not intending to conquer Europe’

Two years ago, Éric Zemmour was the most talked-about man in France and a serious contender to be the ninth president of the Fifth Republic. A controversial journalist turned incendiary politician, he vied with Marine Le Pen for second place behind Emmanuel Macron in the polls. Crucially, he seemed to have something she lacked – an ability still to appeal to the Catholic bourgeoisie while tapping into widespread anger at mass immigration.

But then Russia attacked Ukraine, the mood of Europe changed, and Zemmour’s political fortunes sank as quickly as they had risen. He finished a distant fourth in the first round of the presidential election, with 7 per cent of the vote. The experience did not put him off running for high office, however, and today he is back in campaign mode looking ahead to the European elections in June and beyond.
