Push them into the sea. Sink their boats and rafts.

First, let me state the obvious: there is nothing inherently wrong about any ethnic group having one or multiple organizations represent their interests, and that is as true for Arabs as it is for anybody else.

Not the opening line I would have written for an article detailing the latest CAIR outrage.

Sick text messages have been sent from a cellphone belonging to the kidnapped boyfriend of Shani Louk, the German Israeli woman who was abducted alongside him and then paraded semi-naked on a pickup truck.

The 22-year-old tattoo artist and her Mexican boyfriend, Orión Hernández Radoux, have not been heard from since they attended the overnight Supernova rave, where 260 people were slaughtered on Saturday.

Canadian universities face challenges navigating Israel-Hamas war

MONTREAL – In the days since Hamas launched violent attacks on Israel, Canadian universities have been grappling with how to address a deeply divisive subject that has sparked grief, anger and heated debate on campuses and in wider society.

Several universities have faced backlash for public statements, while others have been forced to respond to groups who expressed support for the militant group’s actions.

York University Student Unions praise Hamas terrorists’ actions as “necessary” and condemn “so-called Canada” and “so-called” Israel as fundamentally illegitimate “settler-colonial states”.

Israel’s military has delivered sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s 2.3 million people before an expected ground offensive aiming to eradicate the Hamas militant group after its unprecedented assault on Israel and the seizure of dozens of hostages.

In the blockaded enclave, the evacuation notice issued in the early hours of Friday sent panic through civilians and aid workers already struggling under intense Israeli airstrikes, and a blockade in which no food, fuel or medical supplies is being allowed in. The UN considers the tightened siege a war crime.

Hamas tells Gaza residents to stay home as Israel ground offensive looms

Mosques called on residents of the Gaza Strip not to leave their homes on Friday after Israel’s military told all civilians, more than 1 million people, to relocate south ahead of an expected ground invasion that risks high casualties.

This may be the pivotal moment in fighting between the Israeli military and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which on Saturday launched the bloodiest attack on the country since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

Israel has destroyed a Palestinian pizzeria that used a picture of an elderly woman held hostage by Hamas in its advertising.

A bulldozer was seen flattening the pizzeria, called Eiffel Bakery and Supermarket, in footage recorded in the West Bank town of Huwara.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) central command gave the order to destroy the building.

Palestinian Americans, Dismayed by Violence, Say Historical Context Is Being Overlooked

As news spread over the weekend that gunmen from Hamas, the Palestinian faction that governs the Gaza Strip, had killed hundreds and taken hostages in a surprise attack on Israel, Zarefah Baroud watched in horror from Seattle.

Ms. Baroud, a doctoral student and activist who is Palestinian American, said she felt deep sadness for the Israelis who were killed and kidnapped. And she was immediately worried that those killings would be “used to justify genocide” against Palestinians.

Anti-Israel protests have been held in a ‘day of jihad’ across the world today after former Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal demanded thousands of Muslims take to the streets to demonstrate amid the ongoing conflict.

The demonstrations were staged after Friday prayers in Muslim communities around the world – including in Iraq, Japan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka – condemning Israel’s attacks on Gaza and showing support for Palestinians in the wake of the deadly surprise attack launched by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered Friday in Tahrir Square in the centre of Baghdad, and similar protests are expected in Syria and other Arab countries following afternoon prayers.
