Ahem Madame Minister, you left something pretty relevant out. From 2021 to 2025, Pillay chaired the UNHRC's open-ended inquiry into Israel. Before taking it, she had signed a 2020 letter urging sanctions on "Apartheid Israel." Canada's special envoy on antisemitism at the time, Irwin Cotler (ever heard of him?), said the Commission was "tainted by its open-ended and prejudicial mandate." Your former boss's appointed UN ambassador, Bob Rae, called it "a never ending Inquisition." When her fellow commissioner on that inquiry Miloon Kothari said social media was "controlled largely by... the Jewish lobby" and asked why Israel is even a UN member, Canada condemned it. So did the US, the UK and Germany. Even the Council's own president warned the remarks could be read as stigmatizing Jews. Pillay's response? He'd been "deliberately misquoted." Kothari later apologized anyway. Feel free to praise real achievements. That's your prerogative. But you don't get to invoke "accountability" and "international law" while airbrushing the one role where Canada itself said her commission failed the basic test of impartiality. Either Ottawa meant what it said in 2022, or it didn't. Thanks for proving that, under Mark Carney, the latter holds true.
Congratulations to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. This recognition is a well-deserved honour at a time when international law and human rights face increasing pressure. From defending anti-apartheid activists in South Africa to serving as a judge and President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), Dr. Pillay has dedicated her career to advancing justice and accountability. Her work reflects the importance of upholding peace and protecting human rights around the world.

This fundraiser is just getting started, and sharing helps so much in the early days. Const. Mike McCurdy’s heroic actions prevented a tragic attack on the Jewish community, saving countless lives. While he’s physically okay, the emotional toll is significant, and he deserves our support. Please consider donating or sharing to help us show our gratitude and ensure he feels the community’s appreciation. Every share makes a difference! gofund.me/b93cdef19

I do. It's actually a really simple answer. Kids can understand it. I'll tell you the story now so you can be ready when you finally have grandkids, Mario Awful. For decades, Israelis tried to work with the Gazans, believing the impossible: that people who have declared that they want nothing more than to have Israel destroyed and Jews killed might be able to be persuaded to be friends by giving them land, money, resources, opportunities, and an infinite amount of patience. During those decades, huge amounts of humanitarian aid was sent to the Gaza Strip, which they used to militarize and to spend many years planning a savage surprise attack against the people helping them. Almost everyone in the world took up their cause, even many Israelis who lived right next door, even though the Gazans were taking advantage of all that help. They were offered everything but wouldn't accept it because all they wanted was Israel to be destroyed and Jews to be driven out or, preferably, dead. They were so fixated on that goal that nothing else mattered, and nothing else was good enough. They even used water pipes to build rockets and dug terror tunnels under their city and deep into Israeli territory to prepare for a surprise war. On an important Jewish holiday and their sabbath, the Gazans sprung their surprise attack. That was October 7, 2023. They launched over a thousand rockets at 6:30 am. The Israelis heard the sirens and knew they only had seconds to hide in their shelters from these attacks. By the way, every Israeli house has a bomb shelter in it because these kinds of attacks are so frequent. Also, every Israeli adult and child, little boys and little girls, knows from as soon as they can walk that when the sirens sound to go to the shelter because it is so important and so common. As the Israelis went, exhausted and sleepy, to their shelters to hide from the rocket attack, the Gazans sent a large armed force across the fence into Israel to do the most heinous things to the Israelis that you can imagine. Over a thousand were murdered. Things so horrible you cannot describe them to children happened everywhere. The Gazans celebrated and filmed themselves and put it on the internet, bragging and boasting about unimaginable horrors and murders. They dragged Israelis, including women, children, and babies and dead bodies, into their terror city and terror tunnels and started abusing and killing them slowly, using them and their corpses as collateral against the Israeli people and military. This lasted for over two years, with the last hostage's remains returned at the end of January 2026 after being taken in October 2023. The scale and nature of this attack is so horrific that it cannot be described politely, but its true evil wasn't just in the barbarity of its forces, which did unspeakable things to completely innocent men, women, and children everywhere they went, including many who openly supported them for years, but in how they took advantage of the trust and help they were given to do it. Gazans had spent years exploiting the goodwill of Israelis in the Gaza Envelope to gather intelligence, working as gardeners, housekeepers, taxi drivers, etc., to gather detailed intelligence of the neighborhoods and homes they would systematically attack starting on October 7. So many Israelis were betrayed at their trust and goodwill toward the Gazans, and by it. While they hid from those rockets in their shelters, Hamas terrorists systematically went through the carefully mapped streets of their neighborhoods, broke into houses, and shot them dead through the doors of their shelters, or crashed in through the walls from the outside using their own farming equipment to do it. Hamas terrorists knew the Israelis would be hiding from the rockets and knew where they'd be hiding, and they murdered them while they hid, deliberately, planned out in advance and for years. These people weren't just Israelis or Jews. They were innocents. In fact, as far as it goes, many of them were the greatest champions for the Gazans in Israel. Didn't matter. They were Israelis. They were Jews. They had to die in the most horrible ways you can think of. They had to be desecrated. They had to be taken hostage. It all had to be celebrated on video streamed live onto the internet to excite their radical friends around the region and the world. The horror is actually incomprehensible. Had this happened to Americans in the United States from one of its neighbors, the response Americans would have demanded cannot actually be comprehended. I stand in awe at how restrained and cautious and decent and good the Israelis have been, and it is to my slight embarrassment knowing that our own people, our own forces, wouldn't have managed a fraction of that decency, however much we would match the unparalleled effectiveness of these operations. That is, Mario Awful, I don't f*cking want to hear it, and neither do your grandkids. Respect them enough not to soil their minds with these lies, which are so evil that Hell itself would be slightly embarrassed to spread them. So, when Israel realized what had happened to them, what was still happening to them, how their trust, support, and patience had been taken advantage of in the nastiest and cruelest way human beings can possibly imagine, for zero good reasons and only unbelievably evil ones, they set out to make sure it would never happen again. They started a war of rescue and to end the military capacities of the Gazans, who were and still are governed by a radical terrorist group that even has in their charter that they want every Israeli driven out and every Jew that can be killed dead. Israel waged a patient war with the highest accuracy rate of any in the entire history of urban warfare, taking great pains and many casualties to spare innocent life, even when that innocent life openly supports the terror regime that governs them and wants them dead. The Gazans, however, had spent decades turning their entire city into a hidden military fortress, hiding weapons, entrances to terror tunnels, command centers, and every conceivable military target within civilian neighborhoods, including even homes, schools, hospitals, and houses of worship. Israel did what it had to do as carefully as it could be done. The devastation you see is the result of the evil of Hamas and the Gazans who support it having spent decades organizing their city to become a vast, sprawling military installation. The Gazans and their terrorist leaders took this organizational approach specifically for two reasons. One was to deter Israel from ever attacking or disabling their military installations at all. Even when the devastation seen here, that remained the case. Israel took great pains to minimize, including casualties, including complicated legal approvals, including warning both civilians and combatants in Gaza of incoming attacks against the installations, trying to save all innocent (and a lot of not-so-innocent) life. Another was to produce this propaganda, which Mario Awful, after having his account built to giant size by @elonmusk himself, spreads and promotes with foolish emotion-driven emojis and devastating lies of omission of these facts. Even as Israel dismantled the entire military capacity of Gaza bit by bit (which is what you see in the video here), they sent aid: more food, medicine, and other supplies than have ever been sent to a population controlled by an enemy military in the history of warfare, period. The terrorist leaders leveraged every bit of it against them, stealing it and starving their own people, creating propaganda campaigns about genocide and forced starvation, and even building more rockets out of raw materials including water pipes, which they then fired at Israel. Bit by bit, Israel dismantled as much of their military apparatus as they could and rescued or recovered all of their hostages, including among them Americans. The result is what you see. The result you see below is the most painstakingly moderate response a decent human being of even the slightest comprehension could possibly imagine, and yet that's what the Israelis have accomplished in Gaza. And they accomplished it while the world hated them for it, scrutinized everything not just for any legitimate breaches of perfection but for a litany of illegitimate accusations of things so voluminous that they could not even be recorded, except that they were in the relentless propaganda of social media, the global enemy propaganda channels, and even the mainstream press, almost all amplified and repeated by even allegedly good, decent conservatives who found these lies a perfect reason either to reveal their underlying but hidden hatred for Jews or to turn to that evil on false pretenses you are promoting, even now, even today. So when you sit down to tell your grandkids how humanity allowed Gaza to happen, tell them the real story. Humanity allowed Gaza to become a terrorist militarized city openly dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the murder and desecration of Jews and Jewish bodies by believing in some asinine humanitarian concept that defies all logic. It happened by creating a global political situation that, for reasons of Communist political correctness and soft-hearted and softer-headed compassion, refused to believe the simple reality of the situation. It happened because this delusion and misplaced trust persisted for decades while Hamas and its supporters turned Gaza into a terrorist military outpost that would simply have to be destroyed sooner or later, and then they pulled that trigger on themselves in the most obvious way possible on October 7, 2023, which stands as one of the darkest days of the last century. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it wouldn't take Hamas at its word. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it lied to itself for decades about the nature of the Islamic currents that motivate Hamas and "Palestinianism" more broadly. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it wouldn't address a problem correctly from the beginning, not least because it was terrified of being called racist and refused, nobly but stupidly, that human beings could be led by ideology and religion to the depths of evil and depravity that had captured the Gazans. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen, that is, because it refused to take Gazans at their word. Israel, starting in late 2023, finally woke up in the worst way possible to the need to STOP LETTING GAZA HAPPEN, the result of which your video depicts and the truth and moral of which you, like a demon, invert.
Years from now, my grandkids will ask me how humanity allowed Gaza to happen. I still don’t have an answer for them 💔 xitter.cf/mhmd_s09/status/209257…

This community synagogue in Belleville was attacked while gathering for Yom Kippur, and now they need help to rebuild and secure their space. They’re aiming to raise $90,000 for essential security work like repairing windows and strengthening the building. With 75% of the goal reached in just 3 days, this is a sign of strong support, but they still need help to hit the finish line. Even a small donation or share can make a difference in helping families, children, and elders feel safe to gather again. Please consider donating or sharing to help them reach their goal and keep their community safe and strong. gofund.me/c622d7b7e

Editorially, on the explosion of antisemitism in Canada - and the failure of leaders at all levels to deal with it - @TheTorontoSun @nationalpost and @globeandmail have been simply excellent. One paper and one broadcaster is absent from that list.

This small synagogue in Belleville was attacked while our community was gathering for Yom Kippur, and now they need help to rebuild and secure their space. They’re aiming to raise $90,000 to repair windows damaged by gunfire and strengthen security so everyone can feel safe again. Even a small donation can make a difference—$25, $100, or whatever you can give. Please share or donate if you can so this community can continue to gather, pray, and celebrate Jewish life without fear. Every bit helps in making their synagogue safe and welcoming once more. gofund.me/a16504187

Police forces need training on antisemitism and the goals of Islamist terror, which include spreading narratives to co-opt useful idiots in Western society. When I filed a report about an individual threatening to “globalize the intifada” at my workplace, the officer taking the report had no idea what the word intifada even meant. How is that even possible, given the clear threat that antisemitism and Islamist terror pose in Canada now? I have also seen police officers stand by and watch groups call for jihad and say, “We already own this city.” Worse, while filming a group, I was told to leave, or I'd be charged with obstruction of justice, even though the officer knew I was with NP.

To the government leaders, including @MarkJCarney @andyburnham @Ed_Miliband please, no pious sympathies, sincere regrets, and declarations that hate has no place in our society. It’s already there.
We now know that 48 hours ago counter terror police arrested two men who were allegedly planning an imminent terror attack on Manchester's Jewish community, set to take place on Yom Kippur. Just like the one last year. jewishnews.co.uk/police-foil…

You cannot declare that Canadian Jews have "collectively caused harm" by "failing to stop a genocide" and then act surprised and upset when maniacs hold Jews to blame for exactly that. You share responsibility for this crime, @avilewis
The shooting outside a synagogue in Belleville is deeply upsetting, and has traumatized a community that gathered to pray. It is yet another reminder of the work that remains to create a Canada that is truly safe for people of all faiths, including Jewish people – to worship, to come together, to live without fear. Today, I am sending love and solidarity to the Jewish community in Belleville and across the country on this Yom Kippur, the most solemn and holiest day of the year.

Horrifying news from Belleville, Ontario. A police officer was shot while protecting a synagogue during Kol Nidre services, as bullets pierced its stained-glass window. This is not a wake-up call. Canadian Jews are sadly wide awake. This is the reality of Jewish life in Canada today. None of us, Jewish or not, must accept it as normal.

A man shoves a pro terrorist and police launch a full manhunt. The story dominates every news channel in Canada. Tafsik has delivered executive summaries on pro-Palestine individuals inciting violence, calling for the death of Jews, harassing, assaulting, and spewing hate toward the Jewish people, complete with the specific Criminal Code sections breached. The response? Complete silence. We follow up every few months. Still nothing. This is two-tier policing. The law must be applied to everyone, equally. @TPSOperations

I rarely post things about this kind of stuff, but sometimes you have to speak up. I have been an Ed Sheeran super fan since before anyone knew who he was. I’ve spent hundreds if not thousands on concert tickets. He has so many Jewish fans AND friends. He doesn’t need to make a political statement and he doesn’t need to share his views. But to not come out and condemn what happened at his shows this weekend - a deafening silence - is sickening, unfathomable, and has lost him every Jewish fan I know.
