IDF says Israeli hostages it killed in Gaza were bare chested and waving white flag

No war escapes friendly fire incidents.

Three Israeli hostages killed by the Israel Defence Forces in Gaza were bare chested and carrying a white flag when they were shot, according to an initial military investigation.

The killing of the three men – who were kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October during its assault on southern Israel – has triggered widespread anger and incredulity in Israel amid a mounting sense of anxiety over the safety of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

According to reports of the IDF probe in the Israeli media, the three men Yotam Haim, Samer El-Talalka and Alon Shamriz – all in their 20s – had somehow escaped their captors and were approaching an IDF position in the Shejaiya area of Gaza City where there has been heavy fighting.

Jewish woman kicked out of cafe after complaining about antisemitic graffiti scrawled all over bathroom, berated with hate by workers

California coffee shop workers were filmed denying a Jewish customer access to the restroom after she complained it was filled with antisemitic graffiti — telling her “Free Palestine” and accusing her of wanting to use the facilities because “Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own.”

Massachusetts is 2nd state with child pneumonia outbreak —as questions remain about virus sweeping China

Massachusetts has become the second US state to report a large uptick in the number of child pneumonia cases amid a mysterious viral outbreak in China.

Doctors in the Bay State noticed the rise in cases as Ohio reported enough cases to meet that state’s definition of an outbreak.

But physicians in western Massachusetts believe it is mostly RSV, a respiratory virus that kills more than 10,000 Americans each year — mostly young children and the elderly.

Why MSNBC cancelled Mehdi Hasan’s show

Mehdi Hasan, racist

Mehdi Hasan is the latest casualty in MSNBC’s rush to quiet its anti-Israel faction. The network just cancelled the Pro-Palestine host’s weekend programme, as well as his show on the streaming service Peacock.

The Israel-Hamas War has exposed the inherent tensions within the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition, and Hasan’s cancellation signals an attempt to placate moderates at the expense of the far-Left.

Where does Europe’s far right stand on the Israel-Hamas war?

The days following Hamas’ terror attacks in Israel seemed like a rare moment of unity in the European Parliament. Lawmakers from across the political spectrum gathered to condemn the violence and share in moments of silence.

But in the weeks since, that silence has been replaced by the usual clamor of debate and division as Europe’s streets fill with protesters and the continent’s Jewish and Muslim communities feel increasingly targeted.

As domestic debate grows more heated, Europe’s far-right parties are trying to cash in and gain political clout.

Trudeau government’s climate plan for 2030 can’t be trusted, environment commissioner says

OTTAWA — The Liberal government’s seminal accountability plan to hit Canada’s climate target for 2030 is actually an unreliable blueprint that can’t be trusted, the federal environment commissioner concluded.

In a new report tabled Tuesday in Parliament, Environment and Sustainable Development Commissioner Jerry DeMarco found the Trudeau government’s plan to aggressively slash greenhouse gas emissions that caused the climate crisis is full of holes.


The real goals were to destroy the Oil & Gas industry and de-industrialize the Canadian economy.

The plan has succeeded. Canada’s economy is a wreck.

Its citizens grow ever more poor and their voices weaker in a flood tide of society destroying mass immigration.

If polling trends don’t change for Liberals, expect more and louder voices for change in leadership, say political players

After Prince Edward Island Liberal stalwart and Senator Percy Downe started a public conversation last week suggesting that the party may want to elect a new leader going into the next election due to tanking polling numbers, political insiders are predicting that more senior Liberals and pundits will be speaking up about it in the coming weeks and months.

“The current polling is going to make these voices louder,” said a former senior Liberal in a not-for- attribution based interview with The Hill Times, last week. “Things have to change quickly.”

Hamas Supporter tortures defenceless mice, paints them then dumps them on floor of McDonald’s

Muslim tortures mice to please fucked up Murder cult idol

Dozens of mice dyed in red, green and black colours shown in TikTok video being released in front of shocked restaurant customers

Video circulating on social media shows a man with a Palestinian flag wrapped around his head pulling up outside a fast food branch in Star City in Birmingham on Monday before grabbing the box of rodents from the vehicle’s boot.

The camera then follows the man as he walks past children outside the restaurant before entering and throwing dozens of mice on the floor, causing those inside to jump back in apparent shock.

He then calmly leaves before shouts of “Free f—— Palestine” and “F— Israel” can be heard.

I guess Hamas supporters just naturally believe that torturing animals will win them hearts and minds. Who let these sick bastards into the west?

Hamas video: Israeli hostages accuse Netanyahu of war crimes

A wee bit “Stockholmish”

Hamas released a video on Monday in which three kidnapped Israeli women angrily appeal to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release them “right now.”

In the video, which was released on Hamas’s social networks and described as “a number of Zionist prisoners held by Al-Qassam send a message to Netanyahu and the Zionist government,” the women accuse the prime minister of failing to act on October 7 to stop the Hamas massacre and now failing to rescue the hostages by enacting a ceasefire.

Conrad Black: Dany Fortin persecution exposes DND’s pattern of abuse and deception

The acquittal of Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin last December on a charge of sexual assault arising from an incident that allegedly took place nearly 35 years earlier, and the failure of the Canadian government to produce any significant documents relating to the case in response to a subsequent lawsuit from Fortin, is disconcertingly reminiscent of the shameful prosecution of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman in 2018. In both these cases, with very different fact situations and charges, there were many indications of a shabbily motivated and prepared prosecution, followed by the frantic ambition of everyone connected with the prosecutions to avoid lawsuits of retribution by settling the claims with presumably ample amounts of the taxpayers’ money in exchange for a ban on any public comment. As I commented at the time of the Norman case, it appeared to be a vindictive and unfounded imputation of discreditable motives to a courageous officer doing his best for the Armed Forces of Canada, to which he had devoted his entire career. In the Fortin matter, the military authorities threw a distinguished combat general to the wolves in capitulation to fuzzy recollections of a complainant who had remained silent about her grievance for most of her life.

Family Guy portrays Harry and Meghan as work-shy grifters

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been given the ‘South Park’ treatment once again, this time by Seth McFarlane’s Family Guy.

In an episode from the newest series of the cartoon satire which aired on Sunday, main character Peter Griffin compares himself to the royal couple, who stepped down as working members of the British Royal Family in 2020 to move to the US.

Sitting in a bar with his friends as he thinks of ways to retrieve money he is owed, Peter Griffin says he’ll ‘go it alone’ – just like the Sussexes.
