The atrocities committed by the terrorist group Hamas in Israel on October 7 aroused fear and horror throughout the West. As soon as the Israeli government decided to retaliate and announced that it seeks to destroy Hamas, “the new ISIS”, fear and horror began to fade and rapidly gave way to a return of “the world’s oldest hatred”.

Who had Parents magazine on their bingo card as running one of the most one-sided stories on the Israel-Hamas war? The magazine of child-raising tips, online-only since 2022, has grown-up to be a home of ignorant rants like a smear against Moms for Liberty, “How ‘Klanned Karenhood’ Is Infiltrating Schools.”
Contributor Syeda Khaula Saad didn’t try to disguise her slant in “How To Talk to Kids About Islamophobia.” The sub-head served as a sample of Hamas-denial: “As attacks on Palestine intensify, anti-Muslim rhetoric and violence have increased worldwide. Here’s some guidance on how to explain Islamophobia to children.” It’s a clumsy piece of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli propaganda under the guise of one of those sensitive “how to talk to your children” pieces.
Last school year, the Toronto District School Board sent home a student survey that asked incredibly intrusive questions about race and sexuality that troubled a lot of parents. My young kids received the survey and it troubled me.
The point of the survey was supposedly to learn more about the composition of the student body so as to better serve their interests. But it was also a deeply activist document that strayed into inappropriate territory.
When I was a young boy, we believed that what the world needs now is “love, sweet love” because, if we’re being honest, that’s really the only thing that there’s just too little of. What the world needs under Presidentish Joe Biden is just one more war, this one much closer to home than Ukraine or the Gaza Strip.
Ontario’s top court has upheld the validity of a mandatory math test for new teachers, saying that a lower court decision declaring it unconstitutional was based on preliminary and incomplete data.
Premier Doug Ford’s government introduced the test in 2021 as part of an effort — including a new curriculum — to improve students’ scores on standardized math tests.
Remember when teachers knew stuff and actually taught it? Now they just wanna cut your kid’s dick or tits off.
A sports reporter who accused a young Chiefs fan of racism against both black people and Native Americans has learned that not only was the child not wearing blackface, but he is a Chumash Indian to boot.
Deadspin reporter Carron Phillips accused Holden Armenta of mocking black people after seeing a picture in profile which did not show the half of his face painted in the red of his beloved football team.
Phillips also slammed Holden’s Native American headdress and his ‘Tomahawk Chop’ gesture claiming the little boy had ‘found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time’.
Justin Trudeau’s government came to power in 2015 pledging to implement a foreign policy guided by democratic principles and human rights.
Nothing demonstrates the abject failure of its delivery on that promise quite like Venezuela.
A Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader threw his support behind former President Donald Trump in the 2024 race for the White House, accusing Democrats of racist policies that are working against the black community.
Mark Fisher, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, joined “Fox & Friends” to discuss why some black voters are leaving the Democratic Party as they contemplate whom they will vote for in the 2024 presidential election.
Spyware normally associated with the intelligence world is being used by 13 federal departments and agencies, according to contracts obtained under access to information legislation and shared with Radio-Canada.
Radio-Canada has also learned those departments’ use of the spyware did not undergo a privacy impact assessment as required by federal government directive.
The tools in question can be used to recover and analyze data found on computers, tablets and mobile phones, including information that has been encrypted and password-protected.
After “quietly” waiting for exoneration failed, Hunter Biden is now launching a “counteroffensive” as he faces the prospect of multiple criminal charges, according to an in-depth report on Tuesday.
Politico reported that for years, Biden was “told to cooperate with prosecutors and wait quietly for exoneration,” a strategy “favored by veteran Democrats.”

Why a social justice warrior is defending himself against antisemitism and the ‘left I’ve been aligned with for decades’
He is a paragon of equity activism, a social justice warrior long before the concept was conceived, and a self-described raging lefty.
For those whose memories extend back to the 1970s and ’80s, when Toronto had not yet awakened to societal injustices, Dr. Philip Berger was a hero: Among the first to operate an AIDS clinic, to provide clean syringes for intravenous drug users, to press for methadone treatment for addicts, to champion the poor and marginalized, to condemn police brutality, to oppose extra-billing by doctors. For all that advocacy and much more, Berger was invested with the Order of Canada.
With Hamas leaders living in the capital could Israel strike from a distance?
Israel has promised Qatar that it will not try to assassinate Hamas leaders living in the Gulf state — but only for now.
After the October 7 attacks, Israeli leaders promised vengeance against the whole leadership of Hamas, which is split between Gaza and overseas capitals, including Istanbul and Beirut. The group’s top political leaders are based in Doha, the capital of Qatar, by historic agreement with the country’s western allies which favour it as a venue for negotiations when necessary.
Amid a temporary pause in hostilities in Israel’s war on Hamas and the agreed-upon release of hostages, organizers behind a protest that disrupted a big-ticket Liberal Party fundraiser last week are vowing to keep up the pressure around the country until they hear “an unequivocal call for an immediate ceasefire” from the federal government.
However, one MP says some of those calls and acts cross the line, and they’ve become concerned for the safety of their staff when demonstrations take place at constituency offices.
I think we have a domestic Hamas problem on our hands.
Israel signed a hostage release deal with Hamas, brokered by the Qatari government and with the support of the Biden Administration. Although priceless hostages were freed as a result and the Israeli government vows to resume the war, this remains a very dangerous deal and epitomizes the warped, thinking and conceptions that led to the massacre and failures Israel suffered on the 7th October.
The Hamas of Oct 7 will not change because of a truce.
