‘Not one girl could be shown to her parents’: The horrors of Oct 7 – as told by the survivors

Three weeks ago, I travelled to Israel to try and work out what October 7 had meant as the first anniversary approached. The massacres committed by Hamas on that black Sabbath were among the foulest of the modern era and saw the worst loss of life for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Not much time elapsed, though, before the bloodcurdling crimes were sidelined as international attention switched, rather too eagerly, to Israel’s war in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians were tragically killed as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) tried to root out an enemy which used billions of charitable aid to build itself a network of tunnels more extensive than the London Underground. One military expert summed up Hamas’s strategy in two chilling words: Human Sacrifice.

Trump suggests ‘bad genes’ to blame for undocumented immigrants who commit crimes

Donald Trump suggested Monday that people in the country illegally who have committed crimes have “bad genes,” the latest example of rhetoric by the former president that dehumanizes immigrants and disparages them in racial terms.

Trump made the comment during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt while criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’s record on border security. Trump accused her of “allowing people to come through an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers” — repeating a claim that significantly distorts data recently released by the federal government.

“You know, now, a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes,” Trump said. “And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. They had 425,000 people come into our country that shouldn’t be here, that are criminals.”

Another WAPO panic! I bet the writer believes Trump causes them to murder!

Afghans in Germany: Yearning to Islamize the Land

In 2015, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany swung open wide the gates to her country, and welcomed more than a million Muslim migrants with her famous — now infamous — remark that “Wir schaffen das!” “We can do this.” But in the nearly decade since, it turns out that the people and government of German “can’t do this.” They cannot integrate successfully millions of Muslim economic migrants. The government cannot turn them into loyal and productive citizens. Many of them continue to avoid employment, and instead batten on the many benefits that the generous welfare state of Germany provides: free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including vocational training), unemployment benefits (without having been previously employed), family allowances, and more. When they want more than those benefits, Muslims more often than the indigenous Germans turn to crime — street robberies, house burglaries. Some also engage in the sexual molestation and rape of German girls and women who, by their dress and demeanor, appear to these primitive Muslim minds to “be asking for it.”

The Mideast War Threatens Harris in Michigan as Arab Voters Reject Her

A year after the Oct. 7 attacks, Kamala Harris faces deepening Democratic fractures in a crucial state. Interviews suggest that her support from Muslim and Arab Americans is drying up.

One year after the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, the relentless and escalating violence in the Middle East is threatening the Democratic coalition in the United States. Arab American voters show signs of abandoning the Democratic ticket, while some Jews worry about their future in a party their families embraced for generations.

Nowhere are those tensions more politically important than in Michigan, a crucial battleground state with a significant population of Arab American and Muslim voters.

Four years ago, President Biden won Michigan with strong backing from many of those Americans. But interviews this weekend with voters, activists and community leaders in the Detroit area suggested that support for the Democratic ticket has not merely eroded among Arab Americans and Muslims.

Diddy’s celebrity accomplices have quietly paid-off victims to avoid being named publicly, lawyer claims

Some celebrities who risked being caught up in the allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have already settled with victims in an effort to keep their names out of the spotlight, according to an attorney on the case.

Tony Buzbee told TMZ major celebrities are scrambling amid concerns they could soon face serious allegations themselves.

Diddy has been charged with a host of sex trafficking and racketeering offenses with upwards of 120 victims already coming forward.

This explodes or he’s Epsteined.

One Year After Oct. 7, Israel Sees a Future at War

The Hamas-led attack has convinced the country that it must take the battle to its enemies

TEL AVIV—One year after the brutal Hamas attack that ended Israel’s two-decade golden age of relative peace, expanding wealth and growing diplomatic ties, the country is now firmly on the counterattack and preparing to be at war for years.

Weathering a ferocious Iranian missile assault in recent days and shaking off calls from allies for a cease-fire in Gaza, Israel is instead opening new theaters of fighting.

It launched a stunning series of attacks against the Lebanese-militia Hezbollah in Lebanon in recent weeks, while simultaneously targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen, rooting out militancy in the occupied West Bank and mapping out its next steps against Iran, the architect of a so-called axis of resistance that includes U.S.-designated terrorist groups bent on destroying Israel.

The Horrific Assisted Suicide Boom in Canada

Assisted suicide now ranks alongside cardiovascular disease as Canada’s fifth leading cause of death.

When one thinks about the major causes of death for industrialized countries, a familiar number of ailments come to mind — cancer and heart disease, for instance. In the past few years, COVID has also ranked high in some countries’ mortality tables. But Canada has a new leading cause of death that is both shocking and surprising: death by doctor.

Joe Adam George: Extremism is a common sight on the streets of Trudeau’s post-national Canada

We need to have some difficult conversations about our race-to-the-bottom immigration policies

As news broke on October 7, 2023, of Hamas terrorists running rampant in Israel, wreaking unspeakable violence on innocent civilians, the celebratory mood in the Canadian pro-Hamas camp manifested itself in a most despicable and un-Canadian way: the glorification of terrorism.

For most Canadians, unaccustomed to the reality that terrorists enjoy more goodwill than Jews in the Middle East, the celebrations were an eye-opener and a harbinger of far worse to come.

Politico’s Headline About Kamala’s Campaign Right Now Says It All

We’re in the thick of it now: less than a month from Election Day, and Kamala Harris’ campaign schedule is featherweight light. This should be when a presidential candidate is expected to do multiple rallies and interviews. We know that will not happen with Kamala being a serial disaster in front of the camera. Donald Trump is everywhere, and the energy emanating from Republicans is reportedly making everyone in the Harris orbit consume excessive amounts of Pepto Bismol…

Pierre Poilievre has a plan to attract very specific voters. Here’s how he is doing it

The Conservative leader has gone on an ethnic media charm offensive, one feature of his strategy to reach diverse voters in Liberal dominated areas like the Greater Toronto Area.

OTTAWA—He’s railed against mainstream media he says is “bought-and-paid-for” by the Trudeau government. He routinely bickers with a parliamentary press gallery he accuses of being biased.

But on a warm June evening at his Stornoway residence in Ottawa, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was on a media charm offensive.

Jamie Sarkonak: Teen murderers and rapists need to be named

A quiet community two hours northwest of Edmonton became a site of true human horror last month when a young woman of only 18 — dressed for a night out in the city, not a weekend of camping — was found bleeding from numerous stab wounds in a ditch. Her attackers had dumped her there to die.

And because those accused of butchering her were under 18, there’s a good chance we’ll never get to learn their names, even if they are convicted.
