The final Part now of my series on a Canadian brewer's experience using malted rice in the mid-20th century: beeretseq.com/canadas-malt-r… Note: for some intervening Parts the term “all-rice malt” crept in the title, a typo now mended. Series title is “Canada’s Rice Malt Brewing”.

This is insanity.

Tonight, I stood with the Jewish community of Toronto, as an ally, to mark two years since the horrifying events of October 7.
Gary Gillman retweeted
October 7: the worst day for Jews since the Holocaust.
1,200 men, women, children killed. Torture, rapes, brutality. Hundreds kidnapped. Jews, non-Jews.
To celebrate the monsters who committed those crimes is beyond evil.
If you reject this, speak up before it's too late.

The time for blaming Israel is over. No more BUTS. If Hamas fails to sign this peace deal, they will have to live with the consequences, and they will have no one to blame but themselves.

The torment of British Jews spectator.co.uk/article/the-… I wrote this last year. Quite ill now, so not at my best, intellectually. Always standing with You Lot, though!

Israel grieves with the Jewish community in the UK after the barbaric terror attack in Manchester. Our hearts are with the families of the murdered, and we pray for the swift recovery of the wounded. As I warned at the UN: weakness in the face of terrorism only brings more terrorism. Only strength and unity can defeat it.
Gary Gillman retweeted
I would like to give my heartfelt sympathy and solidarity FOREVER to this country's wonderful and loyal Jewish community after the Manchester attack. I'm so sorry that this evil has grown to fruition in our nation, and that government has pandered to it.

Since the Hamas massacre of 7 October 2023, there has been a horrific rise in antisemitism.
Hourly anti-Israel stories by @BBCNews and others, hateful protests by the left have made life dangerous for British Jews.
Today’s heinous attack on a synagogue is where it leads.
