'With or without baking powder': Gaza academic who made fun of baby stuffed in oven by Hamas killed in Israel strike - "Days after he reacted to the tragic death of a baby who was found in an oven, “baked to death by Hamas terrorists”, saying, that if the baby was “baked with or without baking powder,” Dr Refaat Alareer, a key figure in Gaza, was killed in an Israeli air strike on Thursday... he posted on X that he wished he was a freedom fighter “so I die fighting back those invading Israeli genocidal maniacs invading my neighborhood and city... A few days after Israel began its ground offensive in October and asked Palestinians to leave northern Gaza, the epicenter of the fighting at the time, Alareer refused.”
Of course, all the tributes and condemnations of Israel didn't mention all this
Hamas may have made millions by short-selling Israeli stocks before Oct. 7 - "twisted insider trading could be a means of terrorist financing or terror profiteering... Shareef Abdelhaleem, one of the architects behind the Toronto 18 terror plot, was an avid investor and stock trader before his arrest in 2006 and he said at his parole hearings he aimed to profit by short-selling stocks before the attacks."
Hamas drugged hostages to look happy, Israeli officials say - "“My mother came back with testimonies that I can’t hear. I can’t hear her talking about the fact that they were handcuffed, that they were abused. There were rumors that the conditions are fine—they are not given food and water. For us to speak, there is a Holocaust three hours’ drive from here,” Siegel said."
Of course, Israel always lies, but the Hamas-controlled Hamas health ministry is always truthful, even though they've been caught lying
'Hamas has won a round in Moncton': City hall pilloried for cancelling annual menorah display - "Francis Weil, president of the Moncton Jewish Community, said Mayor Dawn Arnold gave Jewish leaders the news this week, blaming a 2015 Supreme Court of Canada ruling that council meetings should not open with prayer... “We are not talking about prayer. In the place where the menorah goes, there are a couple Christmas trees and a few angels”"
A 2015 ruling took 8 years to trickle down. They're really inefficient
Bill Ackman wants Harvard, MIT, and UPenn's presidents to 'resign in disgrace' - "The three presidents were repeatedly asked by Rep. Elise Stefanik during the Tuesday congressional hearing if calling for the genocide of Jews violated their universities' rules on bullying and harassment. "If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment," said University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill. Harvard and MIT presidents Claudine Gay and Sally Kornbluth replied similarly to Stefanik's question. "It can be, depending on the context," Gay replied when asked the same question... Ackman wrote in response to the clip: "If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour." "Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world? Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context," Ackman continued."
The left thinks calls for Jewish genocide need to be contextualised, but anyone who says slavery was not 100% negative needs to be fired
Rockets under relief supplies raise questions about UNRWA - "Israeli soldiers found missiles and military gear hidden among U.N. relief supplies in the northern Gaza Strip... One hundred ten rockets, including 30 Grad rockets, were found hidden among boxes belonging to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which supports Palestinian refugees and their descendants... In October, the UNRWA reported that fuel humanitarian aid was stolen from one of its compounds by men using trucks purporting to be from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health... one of the released hostages told Channel 13 reporter Almog Boker that he had been held captive by a UNRWA teacher. The hostage said the teacher locked him away and barely fed or cared for his medical treatment... the U.K.-based Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) issued a report detailing how at least 14 UNRWA teachers celebrated Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacres of Israelis on social media. The report included links and screenshots. The report also noted that the UNRWA curriculum helped fuel the massacre by noting that IMPACT-se was able to identify at least 118 participants in the Oct. 7 attack as former students of UNRWA schools. The U.S. State Department allocated more than $220 million for UNRWA in June despite its schools’ curriculum glorifying violence and terrorism, as well as an agreement conditioning funding on the prevention of teaching hate and antisemitism."
UN official grilled on accusations UNRWA trucks bringing rockets into Gaza - "An official from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency was grilled over claims the agency aimed at helping Palestinians helped bring rockets into Gaza to attack Israel."
WATCH: Gaza woman tells Al-Jazeera Hamas stealing all the aid - "In a rare display of public criticism, a Gaza resident tells the Al-Jazeera TV channel that the lack of aid to residents of the Strip is due to Hamas stealing it. Asked about the supposed trickle of aid coming into Gaza, the woman, says there is plenty of aid, but “all aid goes down (into Hamas tunnels).” “The aid does not reach the nation, all the people,” she says. When the journalist from the pro-Palestinian Qatari channel tells her that only a small amount of aid is coming in and it is all being distributed, she shakes her fingers at him and says: “All of it goes into their houses. They take it and will even shoot me or do whatever they want, Hamas.”"
I saw people mocking the fact that if you donate to Gaza, you're donating to Hamas. But Gaza supporters tend to support "resistance" anyway (which involves parading the naked body of a dead woman, much less genocide), so with plausible deniability, they can support terrorism without bad optics
Israel and activists accuse U.N. of slow response to accounts of Hamas militants raping women - "Israeli authorities say they have collected extensive testimonies of rape and sex crimes from witnesses and first responders who were present during or after the atrocities took place, including accounts of mutilation and torture. Israeli police also cite images allegedly taken by Hamas militants showing the state of their female victims. “A survivor from the Nova rave party testified, ‘Everything was an apocalypse of corpses, girls without any clothes on, without tops, without underwear, people cut in half, butchered, some were beheaded,’” Yael Reichert, a chief superintendent with the Israeli national police, said at the U.N. meeting. Reichert is taking part in the Israeli government’s probe into sex crimes carried out in the Oct. 7 attack. Shari Mendes, a member of an Israeli reserve unit preparing deceased female troops for burial, said there seemed to be “a systematic genital mutilation of a group of victims.”"
Believe women and condemn sexual violence, unless it's against the left's agenda. Of course, one cope is that Israel did it
CBC president will not apologize for its reporting on Israel-Hamas conflict, observers say the broadcaster lacks accountability - "Some political and industry voices say that Tait’s behaviour at the committee was arrogant, and the CBC’s coverage of the Hamas terrorist attack and the ensuing war reflects a lack of public accountability on the part of the broadcaster. One flashpoint was CBC’s coverage of an explosion that occurred at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, which Hamas-run government agencies in Gaza stated killed 471 people. Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike for the explosion, while Israel rejected these claims and instead blamed the incident on a misfired rocket launched from Gaza by Hamas. CBC ran a story on the day of the explosion from the Associated Press with the headline “Palestinians say hundreds killed in Israeli airstrike on hospital; Israel blames Islamic Jihad.” Other outlets like the New York Times and the BBC also laid the blame on Israeli airstrikes during their initial reporting on the explosion. Examination of later evidence, including the size of the crater made by the explosion, revealed that a Hamas rocket launched from inside Gaza had most likely failed to launch properly before landing at the hospital. The New York Times released an editor’s note that acknowledged that it had relied too heavily on information provided by Hamas and noted the newspaper would be more careful with facts coming out of Gaza. The BBC also admitted it made mistakes when reporting on the hospital blast. CBC has neither retracted the article or the headline nor issued an apology. At the committee hearing, Lantsman questioned Tait why the CBC has not retracted or altered its story and whether an apology would be issued by the CBC similar to other outlets. “I will not apologize, because the journalism is among the finest in the world; our journalists operate in an independent fashion, independent of management, independent of the board of directors, and independent of government and political interference,” said Tait. In an exclusive interview with The Hub, Lantsman says that Tait’s answer surprised her and that Tait’s refusal to apologize demonstrates that she has little respect for CBC’s own journalistic principles. “When you make a mistake, you should own up to it. We saw none of that at committee,” says Lantsman. “Catherine Tait’s responses were stunningly arrogant and tone-deaf.”... Zubyk says that the CBC’s failure to own up to the mistaken reporting like other outlets risks undermining its credibility. When questioned by Lanstman on why the CBC will not refer to Hamas as “terrorists”, Tait referred to a blog post by the CBC’s editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon, which states that while the CBC will label some terrorist attacks as such, it refrains from labelling specific groups as such. “CBC News does not itself designate specific groups as terrorists or specific acts as terrorism, regardless of the region or the events, because these words are so loaded with meaning, politics, and emotion that they can end up being impediments to our journalism,” wrote Fenlon. Mark Goldberg, a telecommunications consultant in Toronto, says the CBC lacks an accountability body, which impacts their reporting... “A news organization that refuses to take accountability for flawed reporting and contributes to dangerous antisemitism deserves zero dollars of taxpayer funding,” says Lantsman. “I will never apologize for holding [to account] an organization who receives $1.4 billion dollars in taxpayer subsidies where viewership is down year over year and their trust scores have followed that steady decline.”"
Weird how the CBC in 2023 called the Air India bombing a terrorist attack
IDF chief says flooding Gaza tunnels with seawater ‘a good idea’ - "“They ask us a lot about the destruction in Gaza. Hamas is the address, [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar is the address. Our forces find in nearly every home weapons, terrorists. We understand that part of their way of operating is to leave weapons in the homes, a terrorist comes to the home in civilian clothing, and fights from there,” Halevi said... The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says Israel’s military campaign, in response to the terror group’s murderous attacks, has killed more than 16,000 people so far, most of them women and children. Those figures cannot be independently verified, and are believed to include both Hamas terrorists and civilians, and people killed as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires... Turning to an incident in Jerusalem last week, in which civilian Yuval Castleman was killed by a reservist who mistook him for a terrorist, Halevi said soldiers should not shoot at someone putting their hands up. Staff Sgt. (res.) Aviad Frija was one of two off-duty troops who responded to a terror attack at a Jerusalem bus stop on Thursday, shooting at the two assailants but also at Castleman, an armed civilian who had also opened fire first at the terrorists."
So much for the American fantasy about the good guy with a gun
EDITORIAL: Rising anti-Semitism in Canada a disgrace : canada - "I had to explain why BLM was important to my more right-leaning friends. Now seeing the left go with pretty much the same "all lives" thing when it comes to anti-semitism has completely lost me"
When anti-Semitism soars, the left always goes on about "hatred" in general, or starts talking about "Islamophobia"
Why Was Tommy Robinson Arrested At The March Against Antisemitism? - "The predominantly peaceful protest against the increase in antisemitism in the UK was attended by up to 60,000 people, including former PM Boris Johnson... Social media clips suggest the tensions between Robinson and officers began when the far-right figure was asked to leave the event while he was in a café. Robinson reportedly said he had ordered his breakfast, and subsequently refused to leave. He also said he was present at the march against antisemitism as a journalist – at which point, police started to arrest him. The Met Police later explained in a statement: “He had refused to comply with a direction to disperse under section 35 of the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act.” This legislation gives police officers the authority to direct a person to leave a public place (for 48 hours, maximum) if they think the individual will harass, alarm or distress others, or if they’re likely to contribute to “the occurrence in the locality of crime or disorder”."
Winston Marshall on X - "Now you discover Section 35? For seven weeks you’ve let antisemites, Islamists, terrorist sympathisers and far-left hooligans tear up London, vandalise our sacred monuments and intimidate Jews And now you discover Section 35? Two-tier policing"
They don't care about "minorities" - just pushing the left's political agenda
Basically the left hates Tommy Robinson, so he can't be allowed to appear on public, since they will be "distressed"
My Word: A dark season before the light - comment - "As activist Hen Mazzig put it: “I wish people cared about Jewish babies being murdered, as much as they do for the rights of those responsible for their deaths.”... There are also plenty of barbed jokes at the BBC’s expense. They deserve it. The Beeb’s initial refusal to call Hamas terrorists and its tendency to blame the Jewish state for whatever befalls it, earned the BBC a special place in Israeli dark humor as we go through hell. One noted a rule of “Journalism 101: If someone says it’s raining outside and another person says it’s dry. It’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the window and find out which is true.” Israeli satire TV programs such as Eretz Nehederet and Zehu Zeh!, making a comeback in these challenging times, both noted that Israel’s dislike and distrust of the BBC has created a new bond of national unity... Those who side with the terrorists – the monsters who raped women, beheaded children, abducted captives, and burned homes around families whose charred remains were found bound together – have no right to claim to support human rights and justice. Those who call not for an end to terrorism, but to end the operation aimed at destroying the terrorists’ capabilities, have a broken moral compass that points in the wrong direction. The anti-Israel rallies on American campuses including at Ivy League universities have given rise to their own genre of jokes, with people sharing Facebook posts proudly stating: “Not to brag or anything, but I never went to Harvard.” And just when you thought the world could not get any more absurd, UN Watch noted that on Thursday, Iran was slated to chair a UN human rights forum meeting. The UN is a bad joke in its own right. I’M OFTEN asked whether I regret having made aliyah, building my life in Israel since 1979. It’s an easier question to answer than “How are you doing?” No. No regrets at all. The catalyst for my Zionism was the Munich Olympics massacre in 1972. The Yom Kippur War and every subsequent terrorist attack, the Kiryat Shmona massacre, the Maalot massacre, the Coastal Road massacre, every one strengthened my resolve to make my life in Israel. It’s my personal victory over terrorism. And I have no doubt that even as I write these lines, there are Jews around the world considering aliyah more seriously than ever."
Why Israel must fight on - "by choosing to murder Israelis regardless of how many Palestinians will die in Gaza, Hamas has proved that it is undeterrable. The only way out of the cycle of violence is to destroy Hamas’s rule—which means killing its senior leaders and smashing its military infrastructure. The suggestion that a war which entails the deaths of thousands of innocent people can lead to peace will appal many. In the past one act of violence has led to the next. That is indeed the great risk today. However, while Hamas runs Gaza, peace is impossible. Israelis will feel unsafe, so their government will strike Gaza pre-emptively every time Hamas threatens. Suffocated by permanently tight Israeli security and killed as Hamas’s human shields in pre-emptive Israeli raids, Palestinians will be radicalised. The only way forward is to weaken its control while building the conditions for something new to emerge. That starts with new leadership for both sides... The Palestinians need moderate leaders with a democratic mandate. At the moment they have none. That is partly because Mr Netanyahu boosted Hamas, but also because Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian authority, has sidelined potential rivals. The question is how to stop Hamas or its successor from seizing back control of Gaza before fresh leaders can emerge from fair elections. Hence, the second condition for peace: a force to provide security in Gaza. Israel cannot supply it as an occupying power. Instead the strip needs an international coalition, possibly containing Arab countries that oppose Hamas and its backer, Iran... A ceasefire is the enemy of peace, because it would allow Hamas to continue to rule over Gaza by consent or by force with most of its weapons and fighters intact. The case for humanitarian pauses is stronger, but even they involve a trade-off. Repeated pauses would increase the likelihood that Hamas survives. Nobody can know whether peace will come to Gaza. But for the sake of Israelis and Palestinians it deserves to have the best possible chance. A ceasefire removes that chance entirely."
What happens when the Palestinians don't want moderate leaders?
Jordanian coffee shop sells 'Holocaust' drink with burning marshmallows - "A coffee shop in Jordan called Gosta Coffee began selling a 'Holo-gosta' coffee (a portmanteau of the words "Holocaust" and the name of the shop) with burning Star of David marshmallows on top in recent days, according to ads published by the shop. The first appearance was in a poster featuring the drink and a hand in a Palestinian flag glove holding a blowtorch. The ad featured the name of the drink and a hashtag reading "feel_the_Arabic_taste." The ad sparked outrage on social media, with some wondering how Instagram and Facebook were allowing it to stay up. The coffee shop expressed outrage at the complaints, claiming that its Instagram page had been disabled for several hours by "a campaign of attacks" launched "due to the Zionists' objection to the new drink."... Gosta Coffee called on its supporters to express support for the page. "We will remain supportive of the Palestinian cause despite all these threats," it said. Many of the hundreds of civilians massacred by Hamas on October 7 were burnt alive or after they were killed. Forensic pathologists have found cases of women and children tied together and immolated, as well as the corpses of infants that were immolated by Hamas terrorists. This wasn't the first incident of an eatery in the region attacking Jews in light of the October 7 massacre. Shortly after the attack, a pizzeria in Huwara in the West Bank published an online advertisement that depicted an elderly Israeli woman kidnapped by terrorists in Gaza. The pizzeria was shuttered by the IDF after the advertisement was reported."
Clearly, glorifying the Holocaust is just "resistance"
Meme - *Palestine flag*: "NO FOOD
NO WATER
PLENTY OF ROCKETS"
Gaza Report - اخبار غزة on X - "#BREAKING: Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar in his first publicized statements since launching Al Aqsa Floods campaign: "The leaders of the Occupation should know, October 7th was just a rehearsal""
Thread by @YoniFreedhoff on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Weird that not releasing more hostages and then firing rockets during a ceasefire while saying you'll never stop trying to murder Israelis and that October 7th was just a rehearsal led to the resumption of war. The ceasefire people are really angry at Hamas for breaking the ceasefire and restarting the war, right? If you're someone who vocally called for a ceasefire, or attended marches purportedly calling for same, have you condemned Hamas for ending the ceasefire and restarting the war? If not, why not? Not that I think public calls for action outside of Israel and Gaza affect changes inside Israel or Gaza, but if you do, and if you want the war to end, shouldn't you be calling for Hamas' unconditional surrender?"
Pro-Palestinian protesters stand on rail line in Regina to pressure federal government
The pro-terror hate groups behind Canada's 'ceasefire now' rallies - "the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, a Vancouver-headquartered group founded by Khaled Barakat, a man acknowledged by both Israeli and Palestinian sources as being among the leadership of the PFLP... While leftist Canadian media will often euphemistically refer to Barakat as an “author” or “voice and truth-teller of Palestine,” foreign outlets don’t bother with the distinction. As noted in a 2022 investigation by National Post columnist Terry Glavin, a quick Google search reveals Arab-language Palestinian websites referring to Barakat either as a “leader of the PFLP” or a member of the PFLP’s governing central committee. It’s for this reason that Samidoun was listed as a terrorist entity by Israel in 2021. Germany would follow suit last month, amid a nationwide crackdown on “pro-Hamas” organizations. According to a Nov. 2 statement by German Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser, Samidoun has an “antisemitic, inhuman world view” that was “particularly repugnant.” But no such sanction has been handed out by the country that hosts Samidoun and its founders. Quite the opposite; Samidoun has federal non-profit status. According to Israel’s Ministry of Strategic Affairs, it is “likely” that some of Samidoun’s tax-deductible donations are finding their way to the PFLP. Samidoun has never been shy about calling for violence to bring about the total destruction of Israel. As recently as May, the group marked the 75th anniversary of Israel’s founding with an Arabic-language post carrying images of protesters in Vancouver, whom they said were there to “affirm” the right of Palestinians to “carry out popular and armed struggle to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea.” Local media, meanwhile, have consistently missed the extremism of these rallies — with one such march in 2021 described merely as a “pro-Palestine” demonstration. After Oct. 7, Samidoun has openly offered vocal support of Hamas and the Oct. 7 massacres — and it has been a key organizer of Canadian anti-Israeli rallies since the first hours after the attacks. When former B.C. Civil Liberties Association head Harsha Walia openly praised the “Palestinians on hang-gliders” responsible for the massacre of more than 200 young people at an Israeli music festival, she was speaking at an Oct. 9 Samidoun-organized rally on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Samidoun is just one of several Canadian groups that have been organizing waves of “ceasefire” and “stop the genocide” mass-rallies to have occurred since the Oct. 7 massacres. Like Samidoun, social media channels for some of the others are also replete with open praise for terrorism in the months leading up to Oct. 7 — and ecstatic celebration when the first details of the massacres became public. Toronto4Palestine, a perennial organizer in the Greater Toronto Area, reacted to news of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on its Instagram page by calling them an act of “heroic resistance” that “has shaped a new precedent for our national liberation struggle.” It was a Nov. 12 Toronto4Palestine rally at which NDP MP Matthew Green was a guest speaker — and ended up sharing a dais with a Toronto4Palestine coordinator whose own speech echoed the Hamas demand that Israeli hostages should only be released in exchange for “political prisoners” — a term referring to Palestinians held in Israel on terror charges. The group has also engaged in Holocaust denial... in the dozens of events held since, the protests have included everything from displays of the swastika to children leading open calls for “intifada” as the “only solution.” Most recently, they were the primary organizer of a major Saturday rally on Parliament Hill they dubbed as “Canada’s biggest pro-Palestine demonstration.” While PYM events have often been publicized as “ceasefire” or “peace” rallies, the group has been very open about their support for Palestinian terrorism, and their ultimate goal to see Israel violently destroyed. “In the last several days, we have witnessed the active decolonization of Palestinian land led by the Palestinian resistance,” read the group’s official statement issued in the immediate aftermath of the Oct. 7 massacres. “May the memory of our martyrs continue to guide us on the steadfast path to liberation.”"
Holocaust denial should only be illegal if white people do it. Prosecuting Muslims for it is Islamophobia
Timelapse of today’s protest : sanfrancisco - "Even if these people don't GAF about the Jews butchered or taken hostage by Hamas & Friends on 10/7, they sure were silent about the -- how many??--Thai nationals who were swept up in this as well? Where was the outcry on their behalf? Or for the Arab Israelis and Bedouins who were also murdered because they were with the Jews and in some cases trying to defend them?"
Clearly, by being in Israel, they were complicit in Zionist crimes!
