Nothing captures Canada Day quite like anti-Israel activists hijacking celebrations in Victoria, BC. Even more troubling, @VictoriaPolice permits these protesters to keep disrupting the event in front of families simply trying to enjoy the holiday.

🚨 This article by @Justin_Ling is appalling, even by @TorontoStar standards. Rather than examining a complex regional war, @Justin_Ling presents a narrative in which Israel bears virtually all the blame, while Hamas, the terrorist organization that launched the October 7 massacre and ignited this war, receives virtually no scrutiny. Iran’s central role in funding, arming and directing Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis is never acknowledged, and he presents the conflict in Lebanon as Israeli aggression, never mentioning Hezbollah or the continued threat they present on Israel's northern border. The article also repeats the claim that Israel has killed 73,000 Palestinians without explaining that the figures originate from the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Presenting the number without that essential context leaves readers with a deeply misleading impression. The IDF has said that over 1/3 of those killed in Gaza have been terrorists. As @SpencerGuard has repeatedly said, "In the Gaza war, Israel has demonstrated a historically low combatant-to-civilian casualty ratio when compared to any urban warfare in history with even remotely similar conditions, especially urban-centric wars, not isolated battles." Yet, this critically important context is never mentioned. He further describes Gaza as “the biggest graveyard for journalists in modern history” while omitting the ongoing controversy over individuals counted as journalists despite documented affiliations with Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organizations. Finally, the article asserts that unnamed “experts” believe Israel’s campaign amounts to “genocide,” yet never identifies who these "experts" are or allows readers to assess their backgrounds, methodologies, or potential biases for themselves. Canadians deserve reporting that provides context and transparency, not selective omissions that reinforce a predetermined narrative that vilifies and demonizes the Jewish state. thestar.com/opinion/star-col…

It takes a special kind of moral gymnastics to convince yourself that individuals affiliated with terror organizations can be considered "legitimate journalists". But when the goal is to blame Israel no matter what, reality itself will be bent until these individuals can fit neatly into the “journalist” box. freebeacon.com/media/committ…

Hey @ShaykhSulaiman, perhaps you’d like to add a little context? The is Israel’s humanitarian aid delegation serving as first responders after the devastating earthquake in Venezuela. Israel regularly deploys emergency medical teams, search-and-rescue units, and humanitarian assistance to countries around the world in the aftermath of natural disasters and other crises.

As our Assistant Director, Robert Walker, puts it, if there is one lesson to take away from the “Nakba,” it is this: The surest way to prevent civilian casualties and refugee crises is for those waging war against Israel to lay down their weapons, reject terrorism, and accept Israel’s right to exist.

As Adam Katz writes in the @nationalpost, the “Nakba” exhibit at @CMHR_News does not educate Canadians about one of the world’s most complex conflicts, it promotes a one-sided, anti-Israel political narrative. The exhibit, Katz argues, encourages visitors to view millions of Jews as the beneficiaries and defenders of an ongoing historical injustice, while overlooking the broader historical record. His conclusion is unequivocal: “This is not the pursuit of historical truth. It is a toxic political instruction delivered with the authority of the Canadian state.” nationalpost.com/opinion/ada…

According to Mohamed Ilyess Akodad, drugs are to blame for his attempt to firebomb a Montreal synagogue. Strange. Most drugs impair judgment. They don’t usually make someone target a Jewish house of worship with an incendiary device. cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/…

Today marks 1,000 days since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 terrorist attack on Israel. 1,000 days since families were torn apart. 1,000 days since communities were shattered. 1,000 days since the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. We remember those who were murdered, stand with the survivors and the families forever changed, and continue to call on the world to ensure that Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organizations are not only dismantled but ERADICATED so they can never again carry out atrocities like those of October 7.

“Would we have ever asked the Germans how they feel about the Holocaust?” Is @SMohyeddin seriously suggesting that Jewish Canadians should be viewed in the same way Germans were after the Holocaust? This rhetoric is grotesque and beyond the pale. Jewish Canadians are raising legitimate concerns about a taxpayer-funded “Nakba” exhibit at @CMHR_News that presents a one-sided, anti-Israel narrative while disregarding key historical context and evidence. Smearing those concerns with Holocaust analogies is not journalism, and comparing Jewish Canadians raising concerns to Germans during the Holocaust is an inflammatory analogy that is deeply offensive.

Abdulkadir Al-Jelani, 58, of Toronto, has been arrested after allegedly throwing rocks and yelling anti-Israel slurs at a Jewish victim. He was charged with multiple offences, including three counts of assault with a weapon and one count of uttering death threats. @CP24 cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/…

Who’s gonna tell him?
Palestinian-Canadians have human rights and their own narrative. It is a historical fact that a million Palestinians were displaced and dispossessed in 1948. They suffered massacres and destroyed homes. Instead of interfering with history, politicians would do better learning it.

Yes, of course, Canada, let's reaffirm support for @UNRWA, an organization that is corrupted at its core. ⬇️ ➡️ An organization where hundreds of its employees have been identified by Israel as members of Hamas or other Palestinian terror groups. ➡️ An organization that has a corrupted education system that indoctrinates Palestinian children to not only hate Jews but also glorifies extremism and violence. ➡️ An organization that had many of its employees actively participate in the October 7, 2023, massacre of Jews inside Israel by Hamas. ➡️ An organization that has had its facilities exploited by Palestinian terrorists for terror purposes, including tunnels, weapons storage, and more. Is this really the organization that Canada wants to stand behind? This statement of support is beyond embarrassing!
Canada today reaffirmed its support for UNRWA, condemning strikes affecting its staff and urging protection for all civilians. Since Oct 2023, Canada has provided over $500M in international assistance to Palestinians, including support for UNRWA and humanitarian partners.

Oh no, anyway... Maybe @UNRWA should advise their employees to not participate in terrorism?

As Jack Jedwab argues in the @nationalpost, multiculturalism in Canada is being put to the test. A June poll found that roughly one-third of Canadians believe the Holocaust is no longer relevant today. But this isn’t simply about forgetting history. When the Holocaust is pushed aside, minimized, or reframed, it removes one of our clearest moral warnings against collective blame, dehumanization, and antisemitism. It also becomes easier to justify hostility toward Jews as a response to events in the Middle East. A true multicultural society cannot selectively defend minorities. If the lessons of the Holocaust are treated as optional, the principles that underpin Canadian multiculturalism begin to erode. nationalpost.com/opinion/ant…

🚨 By reopening an embassy in Iran, that means Iran would be able to reopen their own embassy in Canada. And the prospect of that should concern all Canadians. Iran has a documented record of running terror and surveillance operations out of its diplomatic missions. For example, in 2021 a Belgian court sentenced an accredited Iranian diplomat to 20 years for masterminding a plot to bomb an opposition rally near Paris, using explosives he had carried from Tehran in his diplomatic bag. As @sherylsap rightly says in the @nationalpost, "Whatever reprieve Washington extends, Canada should hold the line." nationalpost.com/opinion/as-…
