With twisted irony, Hamas leaders denounced Friday’s terror attack in Russia, extending condolences to the victims’ families, as well as Russian citizens and political leaders.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack that targeted civilians in Moscow, killing dozens of people and wounding them,” the Palestinian terror group said in a statement Saturday.

As news of the Moscow concert hall attack broke on Friday, Ukrainians knew what was coming: Kyiv would be blamed.
The next thing they expected was more drones and more missiles.
The accusations began almost immediately.
They were just hints at first, until President Vladimir Putin openly claimed that the men who attacked Moscow had tried to flee to Ukraine, helped by contacts there.
Then shortly before dawn on Sunday came the sound of explosions in Kyiv.
Shit Muslims Do. Warning Graphic.
On the surface, Canada and Sweden have a lot in common. We are both northern nations used to cold, snowy winters. We are both hockey mad. And we are both normally associated with liberal-ish political systems that are open, democratic, generally immigrant friendly, and often seen as a haven for those fleeing oppression and terrible living conditions abroad.
And we are both nations which have been the target of Islamist terrorist attacks. In April 2017, an ISIS wannabe drove a truck into a crowd in Stockholm, killing five and wounding 14. We of course have had several ISIS-inspired attacks in Ontario and Alberta, and several foiled ones thanks to the efforts of CSIS and the RCMP.
Last week, with bipartisan support, the United States House of Representatives voted to force the sale of TikTok, the video-sharing platform owned by ByteDance, a company under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party, to non-Chinese owners, or face a ban in the U.S.
The loss of TikTok would have little to no impact on the lives of most mature Americans. But TikTok users are overwhelmingly young, and many are addicted to the platform for a spectrum of reasons — including, for many influencers and small businesses, their own financial benefit.
It is widely acknowledged that TikTok is a powerful force in shaping adolescent users’ self-perceptions and beliefs. The platform’s influence has been plausibly linked to devastating consequences for individuals, but also to the “ mass formation ” of unhealthy cultural trends.
Under the guise of “anti-racism” we have made the hatred of White children normal in our schools.
If applied to any other race or religious group the usual suspects would howl with righteous indignation.
Our school boards, governments, teacher’s unions, the corporate class and even our human rights commissions have deemed the hatred of White people to be publicly acceptable.
To fight back serves only to affirm our racism and so hating White people has been institutionalized in Canada.
That same hate has been weaponized against Zionist Jews who have been declared “White” by the left.
Tik Tok certainly plays a role as all social media does but Gen Z is more likely acting out a Stockholm Syndrome scenario thanks to being subjected to “anti-racist” struggle sessions from elementary school through university.
For Muslim children the hatred of Israel, Jews and western civilization is bred in the bone and they need no help from Tik Tok or the left.
Welcome to Trudeau’s Canada.
Analysis: With Muslims now making up five per cent of Canadians, politicians are responding to their leaders’ activism over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Many Muslim leaders in the West have been flexing their electoral clout since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas’ war.
U.S. President Joe Biden, British Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been warned by thousands of Islamic representatives that their support for Israel, however much they mix it with concern for Palestinians, will cost them access to mosques and their votes.

2/ 83% of Canadian Muslims sympathize mostly with the Palestinians, says @angusreidorg poll.
Muslims account for 10% of the population of Greater Toronto, and up to 26% of voters in a dozen of that megalopolis’s ridings.
In Metro Vancouver, they comprise 4.2% of residents.— DouglasTodd (@DouglasTodd) March 22, 2024
Islamic hardliners are menacing Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Michael Gove’s crackdown on extremism – launched last week in the British parliament – is outrageously authoritarian and doomed to fail. I argued as much on spiked at the time. Allowing the government to define and go after ‘extremists’ is bound to chill freedom of speech to the bone while driving the haters underground where we cannot challenge them. But at least Gove gets that there is a problem with extremism in our midst, unlike his more hysterical critics. In response to his speech, there was a desperate attempt to pretend that Britain hasn’t been rocked by Islamic extremism and full-blown Islamist terrorism of late, from the pro-Hamas protests to the murder of David Amess MP just two-and-a-half years ago. Meanwhile, the chattering classes have said that Tory right-wingers are the real extremists, as if Jacob Rees-Mogg banging on about small boats is the same as Islamists screaming ‘From the river to the sea’ on Whitehall.
From the outset it was obvious to seasoned observers who massacred more than 130 Russians at a concert hall Moscow on Friday evening. It wasn’t, as some in the Kremlin claimed, Ukraine. What would they stand to gain from such indiscriminate slaughter?
The people who opened fire in the Crocus City Hall cleaved to the same ideology as those who have this century murdered thousands of innocent men, women and children in New York, Bali, Madrid, London, Brussels, Paris, Manchester and Nice. According to reports, the group that carried out the Moscow attack is known as Islamic State Khorasan (Isis-K) and it has a reputation for ‘extreme brutality’.
Canada was thoroughly embarrassed last fall when a former Nazi was applauded in Parliament.
So why are Liberals now shaking hands with a notorious Holocaust denier?
Or openly praising a Hamas zealot who joked about baking a Jewish baby with baking powder, as NDP MP Heather McPherson did when she introduced the Gaza ceasefire motion?
The ceasefire motion means nothing to Israel.
It is a turning point for Canada’s Jewish community.
The GTA is now 10% Muslim. Time to get out. For all of us.

When the Herald newspaper published its report on March 19, advising that “Police Scotland’s officers are being told they should target actors and comedians under Scotland’s new hate crime laws”, the comedian Al Murray delivered a pithy, pretty unprintable response on X: “F___ this”. Later he elaborated: “I normally suck my teeth at the ‘haven’t you got anything better to do copper?’ reflex, but for this I make the exception…” He added: “It’ll mean the law looking daft.”
The country’s top court has declined to hear the appeal of a private Calgary school that was found to have discriminated against two Muslim students who were denied prayer space on campus.
The Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling Thursday ends a 12-year legal battle to overturn an Alberta Human Rights Commission (HRC) decision that resulted in a $26,000 fine against Webber Academy.
As is the SCC’s practice, no reasons were given for the court’s refusal to hear the appeal.
A branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility on Friday for the attack in Moscow that killed at least 40 people and injured about 100 others, and U.S. officials confirmed the claim shortly afterward.
The United States collected intelligence in March that Islamic State-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, the branch of the group based in Afghanistan, had been planning an attack on Moscow, according to officials. ISIS members have been active in Russia, one U.S. official said.

I don’t think many Americans realize how difficult it is to come to America legally.
Among my own friends, I know an academic who has spent the past year in legal limbo, not allowed to work between teaching positions and constantly waiting on whether he can stay in America or not.
In Georgia, I know a couple — the husband is American, the wife British — who can still not legalize as a couple, despite years of marriage and years of being together, who want to get themselves to America.
Sweden? Canada is much closer and near as shitty.
More than 20 years ago, the Mackenzie Institute newsletter identified a bizarre and deadly defect in then-Palestinian leader and terrorist Yasser Arafat: “an impulsive urge for trying to take the pot with a pair of fours.” But it’s not just him. It’s on display today from Gaza to Toronto, and we need to stand up to it.
Admittedly Canadian pro-Hamas protesters could be forgiven for thinking they’re strong. They appear to have the police on their side, and much of the political class including that jangling dunce Jagmeet Singh. But I think it’s as bad a misread of the situation on the ground as Arafat’s belief he was about to destroy Israel.
