Antisemitic, anti-American political cartoon book lands on kids table at Brooklyn library

A Brooklyn mom was horrified to find a book of antisemitic and anti-American political cartoons as part of a kids display on world cultures at a Bed-Stuy library this week.

“A Child of Palestine,” by Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali, is filled with disturbing Jewish stereotypes and offensive images — including Jesus Christ on a cross kicking an Israel soldier.

JD Vance shocks NYT reporter with his nuanced takedown of illegal immigration: ‘People will do those jobs’

Republican vice presidential hopeful JD Vance calmly fended off questions from a reporter who suggested a crackdown on illegal immigration could exacerbate the housing crisis.

Vance, 40, who has long contended that illegal immigration reduces the housing supply and therefore sends prices soaring, brushed aside any notion that illegal immigrants are paramount toward building more houses.

“About a third of the construction workforce in this country is Hispanic. Of those, a large proportion are undocumented. So how do you propose to build all the housing necessary that we need in this country by removing all the people who are working in construction?” New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro pressed him.

Officials demand more empty platitudes & increase for insincerity budget after 2nd shooting at Jewish girls school

Officials call for ‘concrete action’ after 2nd shooting at Jewish girls school

Schools shouldn’t have to have bulletproof glass or metal detectors.

That was the message delivered Sunday at Bais Chaya Mushka School for Girls, which had a window shot out early Saturday morning in the Finch Ave. W.-Dufferin St. area. It was the second time since May that the North York school was targeted with gunfire.

It was on May 26 when multiple shots were fired at the building in the first case. No injuries were reported, but there was damage to the front of the school.

Trudeau must import all of Gaza to Canada to enhance our mosaic of diversity!

Hezbollah Tunnel Entrances Abut U.N. Peacekeeping Position, Israel Alleges

LABBOUNEH, Lebanon—On a forested mountainside near the border between Israel and Lebanon, two tunnel shafts descend dozens of feet into the rocky earth.

Around 300 feet away, the blue United Nations flag waved atop a peacekeeping observation post.

The Israeli military took a group of reporters into Lebanon on Sunday to see the shafts, which it said were among hundreds of tunnel entrances and underground bunkers used by Hezbollah militants to store weapons and hide fighters west of the Lebanese village of Labbouneh.

Canada Needs To Prepare For Bank Runs & Collapses, Warns Former Regulator

Canadian banks have been considered mostly risk-free for a long time, but every streak ends. A former Canadian banking regulator urges the country’s policymakers to prepare for that day while it still can. In a new report from CD Howe, a former OSFI manager urges the country to modernize its banking crisis response and adopt more prudent measures. Failing to do so can result in a major hit to the country’s financial stability, resulting in a wide range of issues from bank runs to an outright collapse of financial institutions. As unlikely as this sounds, it comes after the recent wave of global financial institutions that were believed to be invincible, collapsed over a few months. Policymakers were left claiming no one saw it coming, but were they even looking? 

Wanna bet they seize your savings to prop up the banks?
