Canada’s least wanted man: A family’s long and lonely fight to bring their son home from Syria
Jack Letts has spent seven-and-a-half years in a legal black hole. Detained without charge in a secret prison in northeast Syria, he is accused of being a member of ISIS, but has never been tried or convicted. His parents, John Letts and Sally Lane, have fought tirelessly to bring him home.
Born in the U.K., Letts holds Canadian citizenship through his father. Each day, John Letts struggles with guilt over his son’s plight.
Well this is inconvenient … I volunteered for a suicide bombing, Jihadi Jack admits
The Muslim schoolgirl who accused her teacher of Islamophobia and began rumours that led to a jihadist decapitating him in the street in France has admitted lying and apologised to the victim’s family in a remarkable court hearing today.
History and geography teacher Samuel Paty was murdered on October 16, 2020 by Abdoullakh Anzorov, an 18-year-old Islamist radical of Chechen origin.
Anzorov tracked down 47-year-old Paty and brutally hacked his head off after seeing pictures and videos of him circulated on social media as part of a ruthless campaign of harassment.
We had our own Hijab Hoax Girl, and in Britain teachers have been forced underground by bloodthirsty Muslims.
As I wrote of the Hijab Hoax at the time ... “I don’t believe this was any grand conspiracy by the girl’s parents or that anyone else “put her up to it”, though certainly her parents, community, the TDSB, our whorish politicians and the ever reliable media enabled her. She simply sought to take advantage of what she has been taught: Muslims are always the victims of Canada’s inherently “Islamophobic” society. When you teach entitlement victimhood it should come as no surprise that everyone from kids to race baiting grifters will be quick to take advantage of it with potentially deadly consequences.
Seems some are having a difficult time understanding that.
In a mysterious video posted to social media, the supposed organizer of an upcoming martyr “vigil” for Hamas’s deceased leader — killed by Israel last month — promises it will happen at Celebration Square in Mississauga as if it was in Gaza.
Authorities in Amsterdam are grappling with unrest after violent assaults targeting Israeli soccer fans last week sparked outrage around the world and kicked off a charged debate over migration and integration in the Netherlands.
Amsterdam police said they had arrested five more people in connection with last week’s violence, which included targeted assaults on Israeli soccer fans by attackers who chased them through the streets on motorbikes. Four of those remained in custody as of late Monday, police said. Four others detained on Thursday and Friday also remained in custody, the Amsterdam prosecutor’s office said.
Two Ottawa teens allegedly plotted to bomb a pro-Israel rally on Parliament Hill before they were arrested by the RCMP, according to documents obtained by Global News.
The boys, both minors, were arrested in December and February over what police called a terrorist plot against the Ottawa Jewish community.
2011…It seems like a century ago. I could dig through the archives for more similar headlines. But it has actually become annoying to be right in hindsight. Last week’s pogrom in Amsterdam should be the final wake-up call for Dutch Jews, but I doubt it will be.
The Chief Rabbi of the Great Synagogue of Paris, Moshe Sebbag, recently called for departure: “There is no future for Jews in France. I tell all young people to go to Israel or to a safer country.”
OTTAWA — One-hundred and eleven organizations are behind Canada’s worrying spike in antisemitism since last October’s Hamas terror attacks, a new report suggests.
And foremost in the report’s conclusions, released last week by Jerusalem-based think tank NGO Monitor, is a worrying lack of financial transparency with Canada’s nonprofits and charities, leading to groups subsisting on money from dubious or even illegal sources.
An Ottawa school played an Arabic-language Palestinian protest song associated with fighting in Gaza as the soundtrack to its Remembrance Day presentation, causing outrage and distress for some students and parents.
… Principal Aaron Hobbs defended the selection during one of those meetings, saying it was chosen to bring diversity and inclusion to Remembrance Day that is usually only about “a white guy who has done something related to the military.”
A Syrian asylum seeker is set to be deported from Sweden after a shocking video showed him pushing a 91-year-old woman down a flight of stairs in an attack that is set to reignite the country’s debate over migration.
Karam Kanjo, 26, was caught on CCTV assaulting the elderly victim as she made her way to her husband’s grave on August 29 this year.
Footage showed Kanjo – who entered Sweden during Europe’s migrant crisis in 2015 and was on parole after raping another woman – grabbing his elderly victim on a flight of stairs in Sollentuna station, eight miles northwest of Stockholm.
Swedes are outraged by a new video showing the 26-year-old Syrian asylum seeker Karam Kanjo robbing a 91-year-old Swedish woman of the necklace she was gifted by her husband 50 years ago.

To counter antisemitism, Canadians must first be able to recognize it
By now, many Canadians are aware of the epidemic of antisemitism spreading across our country, and indeed, around the world. The violent antisemitic pogrom in Amsterdam last week – echoing the Kristallnacht pogrom that preceded the Holocaust – is merely the latest terrifying iteration of the explosion of global antisemitism.
Even before the Oct. 7 atrocities unleashed this global tsunami of anti-Jewish hate, here in Canada antisemitism was at the highest levels in recent history.
In the words of the late prime minister Brian Mulroney, “In the wake of the Holocaust … firewalls were thrown up, and the bonfires of antisemitism were for a time reduced to flickering embers. But those firewalls, weakened by the passage of time and willful neglect, have been breached. Cloaked in the armour of free speech, fuelled by hate and stoked by the oxygen of the internet and social media, those fires now burn out of control.”
The elites who brazenly insist we Yobs need to learn how to recognize our antisemitism are really attempting to shift blame for the current sorry state of affairs off their shoulders onto ours.
In Canada’s dingy corridors of power the Zionists trod the same rugs as the anti-Zionists. They belong to the same political parties and the same faculties, work for the same bureaucracies. Whether in government or the academy the worst purveyors of antisemitism are members of their community not ours. It’s their imported Muslim storm troopers who hijack our streets not Mom & Pop Canadian. The only time they pretend to be equals is well never really but occasionally a rubber stamp is required and some pantomime consultation is offered up as democracy. Otherwise we just take up space in their world and they don’t like us at all.
Deborah Lyons was hired as Antisemitism Tsarina by a Liberal party better suited to governing Gaza. That same Liberal Party has spent the last decade calling us racists and Islamophobes for pointing out the madness of their tolerance of a death cult.
Our “thought-leaders” wielded diversity and multiculturalism like clubs to silence dissent as they imported millions from incompatible cultures forever altering Canada’s demographic and not for the better.
I doubt the shiny new replacement Canadians they foisted on us will be very receptive to a lecture on antisemitism given they don’t give a whit for our heritage, culture and values.
But our Grand Poobah’s weren’t through hating us.
They decided it necessary to demonize the white working class with the application of their racist DEI programs. Our children are taught they are racist oppressors because their skin is white. Fine people from all sides of the Israeli-Arab divide have embraced DEI.
Now they have the nerve to offer us a teachable moment about our “antisemitism”.
A soldier accused of spying for Iran has pleaded guilty to escaping from prison under a food catering truck and going on the run for four days while he was awaiting trial.
Daniel Khalife, 23, from Kingston, southwest London, changed his plea to the prison escape charge, halfway through giving evidence at Woolwich crown court.
He faces cross-examination on the spying charges in Monday’s hearing.
A vigil planned in Mississauga to honour dead Hamas terrorist leaders has desecrated Canada’s revered Remembrance Day symbols.
And so those who love terrorists now freely mock Canada and disdain what we value and cherish. In boldly appropriating a symbol reserved for our veterans — both the living and the dead — men and women who bravely rose to many challenges and sacrificed so much in so many places for so long for Canada, they insult us all. Which of course is part of the plan, to show elsewhere how tamely Canadians accept the contempt of others.
