Does the Met know what jihad means?
Ever since the atrocities in Israel more than two weeks ago, I have had one main thought. Yes, Israel has its problems. But we also have ours. Subsequent weeks have borne that instinct out. For years I have noticed that in all the wars and exchanges involving Israel – no matter the actual size or scale of the conflict – the reaction at home grows worse each time, not least in our institutions.
Last weekend there were massive demonstrations against Israel in London, as in cities across the West. And I say ‘against Israel’ with care. These protests have not been dedicated to finding a compromise between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Few acknowledged Hamas’s massacre. Still the crowds just turn up, as they are expected to again this Saturday.
Emboldened Global Jihad Is Final Nail in Coffin of Mass Migration Delusion
It has become obvious that assimilation of huge numbers of non-Western immigrants into Western society is simply not working.
The weeks since the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel, in which the most Jews were slaughtered in a single day than at any time since World War II, have seen an astonishing rise in global Jew-hatred. One might have thought that the mass carnage and unspeakable barbarism of the Hamas Holocaust would instead galvanize a concerted pushback against Islamic jihadism, but it is the ancient scourge of antisemitism — and not so-called Islamophobia — that is once again the world’s most politically correct and fashionable form of bigotry.
Reaping the Whirlwind
The anti-Semitism now on display on college campuses has one of its origins in the erosion of public order during the summer 2020 “racial reckoning.”
Last night, a small cluster of Jewish students barricaded themselves in the library of Cooper Union, while a crowd outside banged on the doors chanting: “Free Palestine.”
Scenes like this have become familiar on college campuses. Radical activists have spent years devising strategies to drown out and, in some cases, physically threaten undesirable voices. In March 2017, masked activists at Middlebury College mobbed the social scientist Charles Murray, chasing him and others into a car. They shoved and pulled the hair of the faculty moderator for the event (who said that she disagreed with Murray about many issues). These tactics of revolutionary exception are now being used to target Jewish people on campuses and in cities across the United States.

SBF struggles to explain his defense in dry run of testimony — claims ‘I don’t recall’ a dozen times
A squirrely Sam Bankman-Fried tried to squirm his way out of answering questions during a surprise hearing at his Manhattan federal fraud trial Thursday — as he claimed his trading firm had been “permitted” to “borrow” the $8 billion in FTX user funds he is charged with stealing.
Bankman-Fried, 31, flailed as prosecutor Danielle Sassoon grilled him on the stand after the judge sent jurors home for the day to go over what evidence would be included in the accused crypto crook’s hotly-anticipated Friday morning testimony.
Europe Facing Civil War?
In Vienna, London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels and dozens of other European cities, demonstrations “in support of Palestine” were organised even before the Israelis responded the jihadist pogrom perpetrated by Iran-backed Hamas on October 7, while the corpses of more than 1,400 Israeli victims — tortured, raped, murdered and mutilated, babies decapitated or burned alive — were still warm. According to a JNS report:
“[T]he IDF on Monday [Oct 23] published two segments from the interrogation of Hamas terrorists who participated in the massacre..
“‘The purpose of entering Israeli territory… was to kidnap civilians; they want as many hostages as possible,’ one of the terrorists revealed. He added, ‘They [Hamas] promised us that whoever brings a kidnapped person will receive an apartment and $10,000.'”
All the same, each and every one of these demonstrations in Europe was the scene of hate-filled slogans against Israel and Jews.
How many US mass shootings have there been in 2023?
There have been more than 560 mass shootings across the US so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people are injured or killed. Their figures include shootings that happen in homes and in public places.
For each of the last three years there have been more than 600 mass shootings – almost two a day on average.
CHARLEBOIS: Carbon Tax: Now, let’s talk about our food supply
Political desperation can be a powerful thing, as we witnessed this week in Ottawa. The capital city not only put a hold on the carbon tax applied to heating oil for a duration of three years, but it also announced a doubling of the rural supplement in the carbon tax rebate program. In mere minutes, Ottawa not only transformed the carbon tax into a negotiable political lightning rod but also lent credence to those who have voiced doubts about the narratives surrounding carbon pricing.
PBS Hamas Historian: Israel is ‘Fascist,’ But Hamas Isn’t Anti-Semitic
NPR’s Michel Martin guest hosted PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Wednesday and described her guest, Tareq Baconi, as a Hamas historian which she was careful to distinguish from a “Hamas apologist.” However, Baconi is a Hamas apologist, as he absurdly described Israel as “fascist” while, even more absurdly, saying Hamas is no longer anti-Semitic.
Israel unleashes ‘unprecedented’ airstrikes on Gaza: IDF steps up ground operations and tells Palestinians to flee south NOW as invasion looms
Israeli warplanes have tonight unleashed airstrikes of ‘unprecedented’ intensity across all parts of the Gaza strip, as it announced it was ‘expanding’ its ground forces’ operations.
The aerial onslaught came with a warning from the IDF to Palestinian civilians still living in Gaza to move south as soon as possible, amid fears that the long-awaited ground invasion of the enclave may take place within hours.
The bombing, which observers described as much more ferocious and louder than previous days, coincided with electricity and communications blackouts in much of the besieged enclave.
Private government emails reveal Palestinian Canadians’ frustrations with Global Affairs Canada: ‘Don’t know when I will die’
OTTAWA— “I am still in Gaza and don’t know when I will die.”
“Children are hungry..scared..thirsty..sick. Need ur government help to get them out of Rafah.”
“Why is the government silent!!! Get us out already.”
Amazing how many “Canadians” found the world’s largest concentration camp a pleasant place to settle. Consider yourself officially Gazan.
Russia, China ‘consider themselves to be at war with the West’: defence chief
Canada’s military must rapidly retool to defend against hostile nations that already “consider themselves to be at war with the West,” a new internal military report suggests.
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) also needs to better incorporate “information operations” into their efforts to counter misinformation, and must co-ordinate with “other instruments of national power” during a time of so-called hybrid warfare.
Here Are Just a Few of Hamas’s Atrocities Against Israel the Left Is Cheering
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the savage butchery visited upon innocent Israelis on October 7 was the worst since the atrocities of the Holocaust. No one paying attention has a problem believing that. You won’t either after reading this.
Canada’s CF-18 fighter jet force ‘in crisis,’ new study funded by DND says
A new study funded by the Department of National Defence says Canada’s CF-18 fighter aircraft force “is in crisis” and suffering from low morale, high rates of departure among instructor pilots and a shortage of maintenance technicians, impairing its ability to meet defence obligations to allies.
The report, by Justin Bronk, a researcher at the Royal United Services Institute, a 192-year-old British think tank, points to a number of underlying causes.
Shoppers forced to wait up to 40 minutes to get basic groceries at Walmart and Target as retailers lock up products to combat soaring crime
Shoppers are being forced to wait as long as 40 minutes to buy basic essentials like baby formula and body wash as major retailers lock up products to counter skyrocketing rates of theft.
Reporters from Inside Edition visited five Targets, five Walmarts and five CVS stores in New York and New Jersey and timed how long it took for employees to retrieve different products from glass casings.
‘Everything’s locked up,’ journalist Lisa Guerrero said as she stepped inside a Target in Manhattan where baby formulas, razors and cleaning products were kept under lock and key.
