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.

Mob Attacks Detroit Firefighters at Accident Scene

Some may blame video games, others the music. Some may lay the problem at the feet of years of progressive education and politics, while still others point to the prevalence of social media. Some will point out that the nuclear family has been atomized over the ages through sexual liberation, federal intervention, and feminism. Others will look to conservatives who dithered about taxes while the country rotted from the inside. More than likely, it was all of the above that contributed to the chaos that reigns in the United States.

At pro-Israel rally in Washington, left-leaning Jews say they feel abandoned

Participants in a massive pro-Israel rally near the White House on Tuesday described a distressing sentiment they’ve been grappling with for weeks.

In summary: A sense of betrayal.

Jewish Americans said colleagues, friends and allies they so frequently agree with unexpectedly went silent after the Hamas attacks of Oct. 7.

“Nobody wants to talk about it,” said Jill Berkman, a longtime Democrat and non-religious Jew from Maryland.

“Many of my Democratic friends who’ve supported so many other groups — just don’t want to talk about this.”

Ukraine charges officials tied to Hunter Biden probe and Russia

Three Ukrainians who aided the Donald Trump campaign’s efforts to discredit the Biden family have been charged with treason.

The 2019 drive was led by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was Mr Trump’s personal lawyer at the time.

It centred on unproven allegations that Joe Biden had corrupt dealings with Ukraine as vice-president.

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) said the three men charged were paid by Russian military intelligence (GRU).

This stinks.

Pelosi attacker planned to wear unicorn costume and post interrogation online

The man accused of attacking the husband of former US House speaker Nancy Pelosi with a hammer last year told jurors at his federal trial on Tuesday how he went to the Pelosis’ San Francisco home as part of a bigger plan to end corruption in the United States.

David DePape spoke for more than an hour, often getting emotional and crying about how his political leanings went from leftist to rightwing after reading a comment on a YouTube video about former president Donald Trump. He said he went to the Pelosis’ home to talk to her about Russian involvement in the 2016 election, and that he planned to wear an inflatable unicorn costume and upload his interrogation of her online.

The terrible evil of the witch and the satanist

Two stories have emerged in the past few days, one about a moral and spiritual crime and one about a heinous criminal act. The tie-in is that both actors believe in the supernatural, one believing she’s a witch and the other worshipping Satan. Of course, before our post-modern era, the civilized Western world frowned on both concepts. The old world was correct. In saying this, it doesn’t even matter whether witches or Satan really are tapping into supernatural forces. What matters very much is that there are people who, in thrall to their beliefs, commit truly evil acts.

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.
