Supreme Court to decide whether to hear case of Canadian men detained in Syria

 

OTTAWA – The country’s top court is slated to decide today whether it will hear the case of four Canadian men held in Syria who argue Ottawa has a legal duty to help them return home.

The detained Canadians are among the many foreign nationals in ramshackle detention centres run by Kurdish forces that wrested the war-ravaged region from militant group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

The men are asking the Supreme Court to hear a challenge of a Federal Court of Appeal ruling, handed down in May, that said Ottawa is not obligated under the law to repatriate them.

Muslim anti-LGBT groups descend on Coldplay’s first concert in Indonesia

Hundreds of conservative Muslims protested outside Coldplay’s first ever concert in Indonesia on Wednesday, clashing with police and booing concertgoers over the band’s support for the LGBT community.

Several Islamic groups had called for the British band’s only concert in Muslim-majority Indonesia this year to be cancelled over the rock group’s views, which they say clash with their conservative beliefs.

Left and Muslims Boycott Paris March Against Antisemitism

Government still refuses to acknowledge link between Muslim immigration and antisemitic acts

A major march against antisemitism was held in Paris on Sunday, November 12th, at the call of the country’s main political forces. Supposed to be a moment of national unanimity, it was the subject of major divisions and, several days later, continues to be the subject of controversy.

Since Hamas attacked Israel, antisemitic acts have exploded in France. The idea of a march against antisemitism gradually gained ground within the various political groupings, until it was officially launched by the two presidents of the assemblies, Macronist Yaël Braun-Pivet for the National Assembly, and Les Républicains Gérard Larcher for the Senate.

Jesse Kline: Justin Trudeau just can’t stop appeasing Israel’s enemies

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now has the dubious distinction of being the only world leader to be publicly rebuked on Twitter by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack. Which says a lot given the lack of love the Jewish state generally gets from the international community. Yet, as Julius Caesar found out, it stings much harder when your own friend stabs you in the back.

Gad Saad: Concordia University is unsafe for Jewish students and professors like me

I was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. We were part of a dwindling population of Lebanese Jews who had remained in our homeland despite the growing tension facing our community. Growing up, I faced countless instances of Jew-hatred (see chapter 1 of my 2020 The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense). When the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser died in 1970, I vividly remember, as a five-year-old child, the procession of protesters walking by our home screaming with great zeal “Death to Jews.” I suppose that the mourning is rendered less painful if accompanied by a call for the extermination of Jews.

Israeli minister calls for widespread Palestinian emigration to West

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on Palestinians to “voluntarily emigrate” to Western countries on Tuesday in response to an op-ed by Likud MK Danny Danon and Yesh Atid MK Ram Ben Barak that was published in the Wall Street Journal and called on Western countries to accept Gazan refugees.

“I welcome the initiative of voluntary relocation of Gazan Arabs to countries worldwide,” Smotrich wrote. “This is the right humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the whole area after 75 years of being poor refugees. The majority of Gaza is fourth and fifth generations to 1948 refugees who, instead of being rehabilitated long ago like hundreds of millions of refugees around the world, were held hostage in Gaza in poverty and overcrowding and were a symbol of the desire to destroy the State of Israel and of the refugees’ return to Jaffa, Haifa, Acre, and Tiberias.”

He went on to say this has bred the hatred for Israel and Jews “upon which the population in Gaza is raised and educated” and led them to believe that the only solution is the destruction of Israel.

Trudeau says Israel should take it easy hunting Hamas in nod to his Islamist supporters … Netanyahu politely tells him to get his head out of his ass

Israel should use ‘maximum restraint’ to protect civilian life in Gaza Strip: Trudeau

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is urging Israel to use maximum restraint to protect civilian life in the brutal war it is waging on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Trudeau says the world is witnessing the killing of women, children and babies, and that this must stop.

Israel declared war against Hamas after its militants killed 1,200 people on Oct. 7, including hundreds of civilians, and took about 240 people hostage.

Netanyahu responds …

Why Erdoğan Wants a UN Seat for Muslims

The world’s “strategic eyes” should have looked closer at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s speech in September at the UN General Assembly. It was another warning to the West about his intended Islamist design for the entire world — not that he can accomplish this ambition, but what he aims for comes in with several red flags with it.

In his speech, greeted as a brave international challenge by the Turkish media (90% of which he controls), he called on the international community to collectively fight what he thinks is the greatest malady of mankind: Islamophobia. He wants, he said, to revolutionize the post-World War II international political order by giving Muslim nations a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. “The world is bigger than five” has been his dictum over the past several years. He wants Muslim nations, preferably Turkey, to have a veto power, via the UN, over a new world order.

‘Unprecedented’: Antisemitism has skyrocketed in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war

Toronto’s Jewish community is highlighting the need to combat antisemitism amid a spike in hatred against Jews that some have described as “stunning.”

This week marks Holocaust Education Week, and for many Jews in the city, the lessons of the Holocaust are front of mind.

Since the surprise Oct. 7 terror attack in which Hamas killed 1,400 Israelis and took some 240 hostages, and the subsequent response by Israel, which has left some 10,000 Palestinians dead according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, incidents of hatred targeting Jews have spiked.

Everyone is shocked yet mystified.

Some white guy has to take the fall and walk around with a confederate flag to ease tensions by allowing the usual suspects to blame the usual suspects.

Rishi Sunak slams ‘EDL thugs’ over Armistice Day chaos

Rishi Sunak today condemned as ‘despicable’ both ‘EDL thugs’ who attacked police officers and pro-Palestinian protesters pictured openly supporting Hamas following a day of chaos in central London.

The Metropolitan Police said 126 arrests have been made so far, the ‘vast majority’ far-right football hooligans who pelted officers with bottles, cans and metal fences after gathering to ‘protect the Cenotaph’ in Whitehall. Nine officers were injured.

While the pro-Palestinian march did not see this level of violence it was once again marred by numerous incidents of vile antisemitism, with one marcher holding a sign showing a Jewish Star of David wrapped around a Nazi swastika.

Worth noting …
