‼️ MAJOR BREAKING -
Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy was originally sentenced to 40 years in prison on terrorism charges.
He just got another 50 years for stabbing two prison guards in the name of ISIS.
One lost an eye.
His mother, Dr. Khdiga Metwally, is on the ballot for Halton school board trustee in Milton, Ontario Wards 1 and 2.
Her campaign pledges "safe and welcoming" schools.
She doesn't mention him.
But she is on the record, saying this about him: “My son was arrested by all unfair reasons … [he was] manipulated by FBI with the help of [Royal Canadian Mounted Police],”
“They manipulated him by ‘hyper’ talking while he was manic and wasn’t under treatment,”
Voters will get to decide Oct 26.
They deserve to know who's asking for the job.

Does The National Council Of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) Support The Mainstreaming Of Jew Hatred? Is Canada Now Doing The "Qatari Dance?"
You can decide what exactly the NCCM is pushing with xitter.cf/nccm/status/2112194343…, in light of their expressed concern over antisemitism including antiZionism. You will also want to read the letter from the Minister of Public Safety Canada that is included with their post.
My own view? The NCCM is saying the mainstreaming of Jew hatred is totally acceptable in Canadian society, and depending on how far you want to go, it is a required view point among Muslims because of a perverted expression of the great religion of Islam as found in the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and that the Jewish people and their homeland must be demonized and dealt with by all means necessary.
Too harsh a charge? If you have not done so, please take the time to listen to the speech that Dr. Small of .@ISGAP gave to the European Parliament around this time a year ago.

After significant community concern and advocacy, including much engagement by many Canadians, including NCCM, the Government of Canada has clarified in a response letter that anti-Zionism is not inherently antisemitic, reaffirming Canadians’ right to engage in open, respectful, and lawful debate about Israel, its government policies, and any political ideology.
In its response to NCCM on October 16th, the Minister of Public Safety reaffirmed that the Report is not intended to suggest that all criticism of Zionism or Israel is antisemitic, nor to limit or discourage lawful political expression and public debate.
While this clarification is a step in the right direction, many in our community remain concerned about the IHRA definition and how it may be applied in practice to chill legitimate political speech, even though the federal government states that it is non-prescriptive guidance and does not restrict Charter-protected freedoms.
Many Canadians have lost their jobs for innocuous statements critiquing Israel. We’ve taken many of these cases to court to protect their rights and have won.
We will continue to advocate for the protection of civil liberties, freedom of expression, and the right of all Canadians to engage in legitimate political debate without fear of having their views unfairly characterized.

Does Michael Reid support Hamas?
Do you live in the Town of Oakville, Ontario, Canada? Oakville is having a civic election. Michael Reid is the candidate in ward 5 for the Town of Oakville and the Regional Council.
So what you may ask? Because he supports the AFC pledge, claims a genocide is being committed in Gaza and condemns it and recognizes the ACLA Framework Of Anti-Palestinian Racism
instagram.com/p/DenhmZ5lUFa/…
What does all that mean? It means that Mr. Reid, is in essence, when matters are taken to their logical conclusion, supporting the agenda of Hamas, a designated terrorist organization under the laws of Canada.
How can you say that? Because the pledge falsely claims that Israel is an apartheid society which is committing a genocide in Gaza, that it needs to be dismantled and replaced with a State called Palestine, by any means necessary and that the Palestinians are indigenous to the land.
And what does by "any means necessary entail?"
You mean apart from carrying out the most barbaric attack on October 7, 2023 on Israel, wanting to destroy the State of Israel, massacre Israelis and kill Jews in the diaspora? Yes, and torturing and killing people in Gaza to stay in power, along with using women, the elderly and children as human shields? Fighting in civilian clothes? Hiding in tunnels and putting civilians and civilian infrastructure at risk?
Yes, in Canada, the agenda of Hamas and its parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, apart from being a fusion of the most extreme Islamic ideology and racial supremacy based on the ideology of the National Socialist Workers Party of German, includes the rejection of liberal democracy, and the imposition of sharia law, which among other matters calls for the suppression of women, the elimination of gays and lesbians from society and the treatment of anyone who is not a Muslim as a second class citizen, or in the most extreme version calls for their elimination if they do not convert to Islam.
Furthermore, the ACLA Framework Of Anti-Palestinian Racism as crafted means that if you support the existence of the State of Israel as the homeland for the Jewish people, or are a Zionist you are racist against Palestinians. How can you be racist against Palestinians if you support the existence of the State of Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, or are a Zionist? That can only be the case if the agenda of the Palestinians rejects the two-state solution, but rather supports one State, which requires the destruction of the State of Israel, the massacre of Israelis and the killing of Jews in the diaspora.
Why? Israel's Arab population, some of whom call themselves Palestinian, have full and equal rights under Israeli law, including among many other matters the right to vote, which those who call themselves Palestinian and who live in Gaza, or what was historically known as Judea and Samaria, but many call the West Bank, after Jordan took control of the area and renamed it that in 1950 do not currently have, while being subjected in the case of Gaza to a brutal and cruel dictatorship that seeks the State of Israel's destruction and in the case of Judea and Samaria or the West Bank, in the areas they control a corrupt dictatorship that also seeks the destructions of the State of Israel.
Furthermore, and this is how ridiculous the apartheid charge is, did you know that it is quite possible the Arab parties in Israel, may end up deciding the upcoming Israeli election?
reuters.com/world/middle-eas…
Perhaps Mr. Reid thought he was supporting the Palestinian Authority, an entity that the Canadian government believes can be reformed to become a State that is demilitarized, whose people can live in peace next to Israel, but currently is a corrupt dictatorship, which among other matters, calls for the imposition of Islamic law, supports the notorious pay to slay program that pays people or their families when individuals commit acts of terrorism against Jews, seeks the ethnic cleansing of Jews from their ancestral homeland, including the Old City of Jerusalem, claims they have the right to return to the State of Israel, because they do not really accept Israel as the Jewish homeland and whose main political party Fatah supported and applauded the barbaric attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 and plans to use the State of Palestine, once it comes into being, to destroy Israel.
It is possible that Mr. Reid did not fully appreciate what he was supporting and given the language used, thought it was all relatively benign and did not fully think through the matter.
Maybe, but since I cannot read minds, and taking the positions that he agreed to support to their logical conclusions, what I have described above is the agenda which he has aligned himself with.
In essence, under the guise of a series of false claims, he supports the mainstreaming of Jew hatred and the blaming of all our problems in Canada on Jews and the State of Israel.
Why should I care, you might ask? I am not Jewish, nor am I Muslim and I do not care one way or the other about Israelis or the Palestinians?
Because, as the expression goes, first they came for the Saturday people and then they came for the Sunday people.
Are you watching the violence in France? Have you heard of the Red-Green Alliance, being the alliance between Communists and Islamists, which poses a threat to our society here in Canada? Do you understand what is being taught at our universities?
Encourage you to listen to the speech that the Institute For The Study Of Global Antisemitism & Policy founder Dr. Charles Asher Small gave just over a year ago to the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium to discuss the topic of "Antisemitism and the Demonization of Israel on European Campuses."
youtu.be/bOko_AJ2QAs?si=qzVD…
What he describes is happening in Europe and America is also happening in Canada.
That is what Mr. Reid is ultimately pledging to support if you take the positions he agrees with to their ultimate conclusion. Oh, by the way, as to the claim which Mr. Reid supports that the Palestinians are an indigenous people to the land, read xitter.cf/cunninghamjeff/status/….
Up to you, but you may want to think twice before supporting someone who has aligned himself with those who is helping to mainstream Jew hatred in Canada with the aim of destroying not only the Jewish State, but our liberal democracy.
In that regard, read xitter.cf/afalkhatib/status/2108…
To put it bluntly, are those your values?
P.S. As to the genocide charge, while Mr. Reid seeks to put that on Israel, in reality it is Hamas and their militant allies, along with Fatah, the main political party that supports the Palestinian Authority, who seek to wipe out Israel and her people. Oh yes, as to Israel, read:
76 retired U.S. officers (including 13 Generals, 27 Lieutenant Generals, 19 Major Generals, 5 Brigadier Generals) Refute the Genocide Allegation Against Israel.

Is Hamas Becoming a Global Identity Vehicle? Support for Hamas has morphed into a transnational phenomenon that is not just about being “pro-Palestine.” Instead, Hamas and what it represents have become a form of rebellious identity expression and a vessel for a sprawling mix of grievances: ideological, economic, cultural, and psychological. Its jihadist violence is being repackaged as a catch‑all outlet for anti‑Western, anti‑capitalist, anti‑white, and antisemitic politics. Whether it is leftism or Islamism, the “resistance” narrative that Hamas ostensibly represents has become quite a normalized interpretation of how to think about October 7 and the past two decades in Gaza, while erasing Palestinian agency, responsibility, and accountability. The inability to truly understand the complexities and actual details of the Israel and Palestine conflict is why so many support Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Iranian regime, all of whom are somehow seen as correcting or challenging white-centric dominance and colonialism.
The third anniversary of October 7 exposed the scale of this shift. Large crowds in American and European cities used the worst day for Jews since the Holocaust and the most disastrous day in Palestinian history to flaunt their support for violent Islamist extremism. To understand the extent to which the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex has mutated and created out-of-control monsters, consider how incredibly damaging and self-sabotaging the pro-Hamas rallies and actions were. They deliberately chose to brand the Palestinian cause as inseparable from the bloodshed, hostage‑taking, and fascistic jihad of 10/7. These Western pro‑Hamas demonstrators are erasing any distinction between Palestinians and a terror organization that has devastated Palestinian society far more than it ever harmed Israelis. Their behavior naturally triggers an instinctive backlash: a hardening of attitudes, a dismissal of Palestinian suffering, and a collapse of sympathy for legitimate Palestinian grievances.
Compounding the problem is the statistically confirmed fact that large segments of the Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian diaspora communities have been unable or unwilling to counter this trend. Some have joined it outright, embracing the “resistance” narrative or hiding behind slogans like “this didn’t begin on October 7” to avoid confrontation with the anti‑Zionist machinery that dominates the “pro‑Palestine” space and to not be called “Zionists” or “traitors” by other members of the community.
With diaspora communities paralyzed, universities compromised, and basic civic norms eroded, national‑level responses are now essential. Support for Hamas remains strong three years after October 7 and is growing more entrenched. Think ahead five or ten years: persistent economic strain, deeper ideological radicalization, and expanding networks of Islamist and far‑left extremism. What happens when those marching for Hamas begin entering governments, militaries, financial institutions, and other levers of power? What happens when already‑radicalized youth, with no off‑ramps, continue believing the West, Jews, and Zionists are their mortal enemies? Even if a tiny fraction – less than one‑tenth of one percent – turn to violence, the resulting instability could eclipse that of ISIS and al-Qaeda combined.
A coordinated national strategy is overdue – not to suppress legitimate debate on Israel and Palestine, but to draw firm boundaries and stop tolerating the intolerable.
This video shows just a small sample of pro-Hamas rallies in major US and European cities two days ago, on October 7.

More lies from team Chow. Olivia doesn’t have a plan to cut transit fares, at least not one she’s announced.
And Brad has no plans to cut services. He’s just suggesting the city modernize its budget and actually check where they spend their money.

Replying to @DefiyantlyFree @ChooseGoodKarma
The Jews are the foundation of all Freedom as they were freed first. And took the covenant to maintain the law. Which they did and do.
Jesus, freed all men completing the entire work of the Old Testament.
There is no Freedom without the Jews. This is why they want them dead for centuries. Because of them man was fully freed through Jesus Christ. Without the Jew, our house is built on sand, not rock. Which is exactly what that parable means.
If you even remotely call yourself a Christian and want the Jews dead, removed, sidelined or otherwise, you are not a Christian nor one who fears the same God I do. Therefore you bat for the other team, and you will be crushed by either God Himself, or by those He enlists to do that on His behalf. Either way, you will pay the price.
And I can assure you, God will be far more merciful than myself and the many millions who will defend Israel 🇮🇱 by all means necessary.

Never forget: Ilhan Omar’s family didn’t flee Somalia as the oppressed. They fled because her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was a senior colonel in the Somali National Army of the genocidal communist dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, the regime that systematically slaughtered up to 200,000 people, mostly Isaaq civilians, in one of the worst genocides in modern African history.
Her father wasn’t some low-level nobody or a teacher who just happened to be around. He was an esteemed senior officer who commanded a regiment, trained in the Soviet Union, and stayed in the military hierarchy of that brutal Marxist-Leninist dictatorship for years.
When the regime finally collapsed under the weight of its own mass murder, famine, and civil war in 1991, the family ran, not as victims of the dictatorship, but as people tied to the apparatus that had just spent years bombing cities, executing civilians, and turning northern Somalia into a killing field.
Now this same family is in the US, where Omar stands up and lectures Americans about justice, accountability, morality, and “genocide.” The hypocrisy is sickening. A daughter of a colonel from the regime that carried out the Isaaq genocide has the gall to moralize to the country that took her in after her father’s side lost power.
Her father came to the U.S. as a “refugee,” just like Yusuf Abdi Ali, who was accused of war crimes and later found liable for torture in a U.S. civil court. Yet, as far as publicly available information shows, her father never faced comparable scrutiny or accountability. Consider this: Ali was deported from the US only two years ago, after a survivor pursued justice through the courts. It took a survivor’s determination to bring his abuses before a judge and jury.
That’s the record.

I was in a bomb shelter in Be'eri with 18 federal judges from America.
A young woman who had grown up in that kibbutz in a peaceful border community told me that on October 7th she was at her army base and all the members of her family had gathered in this house in the bomb shelter for safety.
She said, "They all died here."
She asked us to come inside of the bomb shelter. The entire house was charred black and burned to the ground and the bomb shelter was still standing.
We were standing in the rubble of this home around this bomb shelter. She was inside and so a couple of us went in.
She said, "No, all of you."
So then a couple more went in.
She said, "No, all of you."
And then all 18 of us federal judges got into this bomb shelter where she had slept as a little girl. It used to have pink and purple walls and unicorn pictures. And we were packed in like sardines.
She said, "A terrorist opened the window and threw in a grenade. And all eight members of my family—grandparents, parents, and children huddled together— were blown to pieces."
It took weeks for them to take all the physical material off the walls and the ceilings.
And they did this house after house after house. Hundreds of houses.

Tafsik Organization wholeheartedly agrees with @NCCM that, as Canadians, we must be free to criticize any and every foreign government, as well as any and every ideology.
Let’s start with Islam.
There are fundamental tensions between the Islamic doctrine and democratic principles, individual freedoms, and Western values upon which Canadian society is built.
When religious ideology seeks to dictate how society must be governed, how power is exercised, whose rights are protected, and which freedoms are permitted, it becomes a legitimate subject of public scrutiny.
Islam, particularly its expansionist and authoritarian manifestations, poses a serious threat to liberal democracy. Any ideology that seeks religious supremacy over democratic institutions, individual liberty, and equal rights must be confronted and challenged.
Equally concerning is the elevation of historical religious figures beyond moral scrutiny. No individual, regardless of religious significance, should be exempt from criticism or judged by a different moral standard simply because a religious tradition regards that person as exemplary.
Religious teachings and interpretations that justify the persecution or killing of Jews, Christians, gay people, apostates, atheists, or women accused of adultery are fundamentally incompatible with the values of a free and democratic society.
In Canada, our core Judeo-Christian heritage, alongside our modern democratic principles, demands that individuals be protected from violence and persecution, regardless of their religion, beliefs, gender, or sexual orientation.
Judaism and Christianity also contain passages depicting appalling violence and practices that are morally indefensible by contemporary standards. Those passages deserve criticism as well.
Over time, however, mainstream Jewish and Christian institutions have undergone significant reinterpretation and reform to reconcile religious practice with modern democratic values.
Islam, however, maintains influential religious authorities and movements, which continue to resist the reassessment of certain doctrines and historical practices.
Consider, for example, traditional accounts of Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, including reports that the marriage was consummated when she was just nine years old. Whatever may have been accepted in a particular historical context, child marriage is morally unacceptable by today's standards. That principle should not become controversial simply because the historical figure involved is revered by a religion.
No religious tradition should be immune from the moral scrutiny we apply to every other institution, ideology, or historical figure.
We therefore appreciate @NCCM's willingness to defend the right to criticize all ideologies, including Islam.
That brings us to an equally important question.
Can we finally distinguish criticism of Islam from hatred of Muslims?
The term Islamophobia has too often been used to blur that distinction, treating legitimate criticism of religious doctrines as though it were inherently an attack on the people who follow them.
That distinction matters enormously.
Muslim Canadians deserve the same safety and protection under the law as every other Canadian.
Hatred, discrimination and violence directed at Muslims must be unequivocally condemned.
But criticizing Islam, like criticizing Christianity, Judaism, or any other ideology, must remain a protected freedom.
Moving forward, let us call hatred against Muslims exactly what it is: anti-Muslim hatred or bigotry.
Let us fight that hatred together, without using accusations of prejudice to silence legitimate debate about religious beliefs and ideologies.
Freedom of expression cannot be selective. Religious freedom cannot mean freedom from criticism. And protecting people from hatred must never require protecting ideas from scrutiny.
We welcome @NCCM's commitment to that principle.
Now let us apply it equally. To everyone. Without exception.
