Links - 13th December 2025 (2 - Drugs)

Meme - @frozenagitation: "A person smoking fentanyl on the train is not making you unsafe. Just stop trying to find ways to hate poor people."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know: "Public misuse of fentanyl, a potent medical anesthetic, is irresponsible and unsafe. It's intended only to be administered by trained professionals in a medical setting."

Adam Zivo on X - "🚨 BREAKING 🚨 British Columbia is ending the provision of unwitnessed "safer supply" drugs, citing problems with organized crime diverting prescription opioids to the black market. We did it! We stopped this scam."
Time for activists to complain they are literally killing people

'Serious challenges' caused by opioid prescription diversion, London police chief tells MPs - "There are "serious challenges" brought on by the Safer Opioid Supply (SOS) program that's been operating in London since 2016, the city's police chief told federal politicians during testimony at a committee meeting on Parliament Hill on Tuesday.  While there's only been one pharmacy robbery in the city since 2019, women are being pressured to get prescriptions for opioids which are then taken from them by criminals, Thai Truong told members of Parliament during testimony before the standing committee on health... police said a significant portion of drugs seized by police ended up on the streets after being prescribed through the program.  At the time, Truong explained that pills prescribed to people in the program were often traded for stronger, more dangerous drugs such as fentanyl."

$4M worth of prescription opioids disappeared from an Ontario pharmacy. No one can say where they went - "Opioid painkillers are supposed to be closely guarded on their journey from manufacturer to patient.     They are highly addictive, can cause deadly drug poisonings and have a high street value. So how could almost a quarter million of them disappear?  The loss of more than 245,000 hydromorphone tablets, all eight milligrams and sold under the brand-name Dilaudid, was reported to Health Canada in May 2023 by a pharmacy somewhere in Ontario.  They would be worth about $4 million if sold on the street.  There was no armed robbery and no break and enter. The loss did not occur all at once, but over an unspecified period of time, said a Health Canada spokesperson...  Health Canada referred a pharmacist to the professional regulatory college... Officially, the reason for the loss cited in Health Canada data is "Loss unexplained." There's no requirement to report such losses to police... The widespread introduction of time-delay safes in Ontario pharmacies in 2023, following some other provinces, is likely why the amount of controlled drugs stolen in armed robberies and B&Es dropped significantly"

Why do drug dealers add deadly opioids to their drugs? : r/RandomThoughts - "I had a friend in drug enforcement in the Baltimore area. He said that if someone were to OD from a known source, the clientele’s reaction was not “ope, stay away from that guy.” The reaction was “Jimmy died? That must be good shit!”  So there’s that."

Josh Dehaas: Japan convinced me Canadians don’t need to accept urban disorder - "I grabbed a coffee and started looking for a park bench to sit and read my book. I soon realized that wasn’t going to happen. Every bench was occupied by one or more drug addicts... It’s not just Calgary that looks like this. Toronto, Edmonton, and Ottawa are equally depressing. But not every big city has these problems. I recently spent two weeks in Japan, including visits to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, where I noticed zero litter — not a cigarette butt, not a coffee cup — and just one person sitting on the curb apparently intoxicated. A police officer had him detained at that very moment. I went on dozens of subway rides without feeling unsafe once. Japan convinced me that Canadians don’t need to accept so much urban disorder. Addicts deserve compassion and treatment, but there are no excuses for letting them destroy our downtowns, to say nothing of themselves.  So what’s Japan doing differently? Enforcement of strict laws against drug possession seems to be the solution. Japan has convinced me, despite my strong civil libertarian leanings, that it’s time to end the failed decriminalization experiment and treat possession of hard drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine as crimes again... Harm reduction in some ways makes sense, but we now know that harm reduction in the form of decriminalization of hard drugs causes too many other harms to be worth it. It hasn’t stopped drug deaths, and it’s made our downtowns depressing, dirty, and dangerous. Drug addicts increasingly clog up public hospitals. Drug addicts constantly steal to maintain their habits... Even possession by someone with a long rap sheet of 15 grams of fentanyl, a highly-toxic substance that can kill in miniscule amounts, wasn’t enough to warrant jail time according to one Ontario judge because, “addiction is a public health issue first and foremost,” and there was little need to denounce the behaviour or try to deter others. The result of this approach is not just downtowns that look like scenes from zombie films – it’s also the deaths of addicts. In 2019, Japan’s annual rate of opioid deaths was 2.5 per million people. In Canada, the figure was roughly 160 opioid deaths per million in 2021. As a civil libertarian, I think people should decide what they do with their bodies and the state needs a strong justification to interfere. Drugs like alcohol, marijuana, or psilocybin mushrooms don’t tend to lead to significant harms to anyone other than the user, and should therefore be fully legal. But when a person’s actions cause serious harm to other people, as fentanyl and methamphetamine use inevitably does, those actions ought to be criminalized. I take comfort in the fact that Japan manages to uphold a zero-tolerance policy for drugs while maintaining a high score on civil liberties. Treating hard drug possession as a crime would require amendments to the Criminal Code and to provincial enforcement policies, but it would not necessarily cost taxpayers more. Many of those who would be imprisoned would no longer be in the streets causing other crimes. If some addicts are successfully diverted to treatment, that could cost the health care system less long-term. If fewer dealers are on the street, and the consequences of using are scarier, this should eventually lead to fewer addicts sucking up public funds. At the very least, we would get our downtowns back."
But what would all the activists and NGOs do without all the drug addicts?!

Yellow Milk on X - "Rip Kurt Cobain you would of loved fentanyl"

8 years and 14,000 deaths later, B.C.'s drug emergency rages on - "Toxic drugs are now the leading cause of death for people aged 10-59 in B.C., according to the B.C. Coroners Service, accounting for more deaths than homicides, suicides, accidents and natural disease combined... "One of the reasons people are hiding their consumption and their drug use is because we stigmatize people [and] we villainize them."... with both provincial and federal elections looming, Graham fears "the toxic politics is what's going to be killing people next," as politicians vie to win votes touting what she says are ineffective solutions to the deadly crisis. She said what's needed are regulations for drugs that are similar to those for alcohol."
While drug death rates quintupled in BC from 2015 to 2023, drug deaths have not been risen as much in Quebec and Ontario over the same 11 years, and they don't enable drugs as much. Clearly this proves that harm reduction works and the real problem is "stigma".
Weird how they decriminalized drugs in 2023 but deaths continued to rise. Clearly decriminalization isn't enough, and the government needs to give out free drugs

Suspected drug-smuggling tunnel found in Tijuana is so long authorities don't have enough oxygen to reach other end

‘They want to ban your plastic straw but legalize crack’: Seven zingers from Pierre Poilievre’s speech at the Calgary Stampede - "Isn’t it amazing? They’re so liberal on crime when they want to ban everything else. They want to ban your plastic straw but legalize crack in your neighbourhood, as long as you don’t smoke the crack through a plastic straw"

Arrests show dangers of ‘safe’ drug sites: B.C. Conservatives - "Nanaimo RCMP announced Tuesday that they had arrested two people for drug trafficking and possession of a prohibited firearm after responding to a complaint about drug dealing on Cavan Street in the downtown area. They said officers with the detachment’s Nanaimo Special Investigation Targeted Enforcement or SITE unit seized a loaded pistol and suspected methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl and prescription opioid tablets in the Sept. 12 incident. Further investigation led to a search warrant being conducted in a motel room, where large amounts of drugs, weapons and cash were found, said the RCMP, who called it a “significant seizure” that removed “large quantities of illicit and harmful drugs, as well as dangerous weapons, from the streets of Nanaimo.”... People who appear to be under the influence of drugs are lying down and sleeping on stairs and the grass and in city hall’s parking lot, and there’s public defecation in the area, requiring regular cleanups... B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad has said he would shut down all drug-consumption sites and replace them with mental-health and addictions treatment centres if the party wins the Oct. 19 provincial election. Also on Tuesday, the Save Our Streets coalition in B.C. staged a news conference in Vancouver to release results from a survey that it said shows people don’t feel safe in their communities and don’t believe the justice system, governments or the police are doing enough to respond to addiction and mental-health issues. Karen Kuwica, president of Nanaimo’s Newcastle Community Association, who attended the SOS event in Vancouver, said the survey results show people have lost faith in the justice system and feel that it is futile to report crimes. In the Research Co. online survey, 55 per cent of the 1,200 respondents said the level of crime in their community had increased, while 88 per cent said crimes aren’t reported, due largely to a lack of confidence in the justice system. Half of the respondents said they fear for their safety and almost 74 per cent said that crime and violence are affecting the quality of life in their community. Respondents indicated they are willing to support new approaches by police, the justice system and all levels of government to address opioid consumption, retail crime and public safety."
This won't stop left wingers' histrionics about how being against "safe injection sites" means you are literally murdering people

Amy Hamm: David Eby can't escape his many 'harm reduction' failures - "British Columbia’s provincial election is roughly a month away, and our New Democratic premier, David Eby, is campaigning like a rat fleeing the sinking ship of his own party’s failed policies. Eby’s latest — and most hypocritical — about-face is his suspiciously timed announcement that he intends to implement involuntary treatment for persons with brain injuries or mental health disorders, along with a concurrent substance use disorder (drug addiction). He had no scruples about the province’s approach to managing the filth, chaos and misery of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES), which hosts Canada’s largest concentrated population of homeless and often mentally ill addicts. As premier, he threw money, support services, money, needles, crack pipes, anti-stigma campaigns and more money at the problem — until now, in the 11th hour of his provincial reign. It’s not the first time he has demonstrated a willingness to abandon his principles, however. Eby toyed with involuntary care once before, but didn’t follow through. It was when he was campaigning for party leadership in 2022. This reversal landed him in a position that was so far removed from his history of advocacy, including as the executive director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA), that the organization called Eby out for political avarice: “The BCCLA condemns BC Attorney General David Eby for throwing human rights, civil liberties, and evidence under the bus… This attempt to score political points for his leadership campaign is misleading, immoral, and reckless.” Savage. Much of his work and advocacy to this point has been about “harm reduction” and enabling vulnerable addicts to stay exactly as they are, mired in self-destruction and despair. But he was doing it — as all harm reductionists claim — to “save lives.” One could have easily mistaken Eby for a True Believer. And as a believer, he demonstrated callous disregard for the rest of us, left to deal with the fallout of his disastrous policies. Any honest person who spends a single minute in Vancouver’s DTES can see that harm reduction has utterly failed. It didn’t matter to Eby that our streets were increasingly violent, or that shoplifting was pervasive, that women’s bodies were being trafficked and sold (addicts must pay for their habits), that shops in the DTES can’t have indoor tables and chairs — because addicts use them as personal drug spaces — or even that thousands of citizens were dying of opioid overdoses each year. Recently, a 13-year-old girl died of a suspected overdose in a homeless tent encampment in his province, leaving behind a bereft family that had begged provincial health authorities to treat her. They gave her “harm reduction” instead. All along, Eby was a crusader for this cause. Until suddenly he wasn’t. This is not Eby’s first policy flip-flop. Previously, he reversed his drug “decriminalization” pilot project after public outcry reached a fever pitch. (As it happens, the public at large is not groovy with addicts using fentanyl on the playgrounds where we take our children.) And then this month, he claimed he would scrap B.C.’s provincial carbon tax — an improbable move from a party that refers to their current election rival, and the man who first promised to kill the same carbon tax, as a “climate change denier.” Also under Eby’s watch, B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, with the apparent intent to help the NDP with hold onto power for another term, rescinded her public health order that saw nurses and doctors fired for refusing COVID-19 vaccines. Power, not principle. That is Eby’s motto. There was a time when we could say that our premier was misguided and wrong, but principled. That time is over. The problem is not that Eby intends to legislate a broadened involuntary treatment landscape. Yes, there are arguments to be made about the infringement on our Charter rights when we hold and treat people against their will — a practice applied daily to mentally ill citizens under the B.C. Mental Health Act (and even, already, to persons with concurrent disorders and with the intent to get them sober, though the physicians doing this would likely never admit to it). We already have a Mental Health Review Board and strong protections for patients who wish to challenge their involuntary treatment under the law. The problem is that Eby switched sides in a culture war where the warring teams hold diametrically opposed values, and wherein one side — the “harm reductionists” — have largely abandoned evidence in favour of ideology. In doing so, many have become fervent believers (or at least pretend to be) that their cause is the moral choice, the compassionate choice and the only path forward. They thumb their noses at addiction treatment, involuntary or otherwise, as an “oppressive” and “stigmatizing” intervention that doesn’t deserve more funding. They refuse to look their failure in the eye and change course. Eby must admit that he is now playing for the opposite team for one of three reasons: it was a wanton choice, devoid of thought or care; he genuinely changed his mind on the credibility of “harm reduction”; or, most likely, that he is desperately hanging on to power — and that he is a man who will sacrifice his principles to do so. Would you trust a man like that? I know my answer."

The consequences of giving addicted youth medical autonomy - "Brianna MacDonald was only 13 years old when she was found dead of a suspected overdose in a B.C. homeless encampment last month. Her grieving parents say that the province refused their repeated pleas to force her into treatment, providing her instead with free needles and pamphlets on how to use drugs “safely,” and are now calling for reform. This tragedy was the inevitable crescendo of the B.C. NDP’s laissez-faire drug policies, under which enablement has consistently been prioritized over rehabilitation... According to Brianna’s mother, Sarah MacDonald, her daughter struggled with severe mental-health issues and, turning to drugs to cope, began smoking marijuana at just 10 years old, before escalating to ecstasy two years later. Despite her young age, she allegedly received free harm-reduction paraphernalia from Fraser Health, one of the province’s five health authorities. After being hospitalized for a suspected overdose in February, Brianna was transferred to a child psychiatric ward at Surrey Memorial Hospital where, according to her mother, she stuck pencils through her own hand. Though her parents begged the hospital to keep her institutionalized and administer addiction treatment, they were told that Brianna had the right to make her own medical decisions, despite her mental instability, young age and history of drug use. She was thus discharged, but her violent behaviour at home troubled her parents, who, out of concern for her siblings, were forced to place her in a youth centre in Abbotsford. She subsequently ran away and ended up in a local homeless encampment, where her mother would visit her (they texted or spoke every day). But then, in the middle of the night of Aug. 23, she overdosed again and, despite the best efforts of emergency responders, did not survive... Children “are not able to buy alcohol, they are not able to buy marijuana at the marijuana store, they can’t buy cigarettes, but they can have access to crack pipes and kits to be able to do safe injection? It’s just wrong,” her step-father, Lance Charles, told CTV News. The B.C. Conservatives have since pledged to implement involuntary treatment for addicts of all ages who “pose a risk to themselves and others,” should they be elected next month. The announcement builds upon the demands of a growing chorus of B.C. mayors who have endorsed involuntary treatment following an increase in horrifying stranger attacks. Harm-reduction activists, many of whom are active drug users and see access to illicit substances as a human right, have generally opposed such reforms... In the lead-up to next month’s provincial election, Eby’s government has rescinded many unpopular harm-reduction experiments it previously supported — such as drug paraphernalia distributed through vending machines and home delivery... Some parents — most notably Greg Sword, whose 14-year-old daughter died of drug-related causes after getting addicted to diverted safer supply opioids — have tried to raise awareness of this issue, only to be ignored."
According to the left, "the science" tells us that minors can make their own medical decisions (they can't decide to date older people, though, even if they're 25 years old) and that "harm reduction" is the way to go, so only "science deniers" will be against minors taking drugs, supported by the state
Clearly, all this is the parents' fault, and they were abusive. They are responsible because they're the adults, and were too toxic for their daughter, and the "trauma" they caused her led to her death

Actual Fact Bot: Revived | Facebook - "Back in 1894 the British Government did an inquiry into cannabis use in India, and concluded that "moderate use practically produces no ill effects"."

Pierre Poilievre on X - "Radical activist spews racist tirade against a Chinese man trying to protect kids from a drug injection site the NDP & Liberal governments are forcing into Richmond. Help me fight against the NDP/Liberals pushing drugs on the Chinese community:"

Forced addictions treatment will cause more harm than good, ethics expert warns N.B. - "It's "highly likely" New Brunswick's plan to force some people with severe addiction into involuntary treatment will cause more harm than good, according to an ethics expert. Timothy Christie, the regional director of ethics services for the Horizon Health Network, says he conducted an ethics analysis of the proposed Compassionate Intervention Act and found "huge problems" related to Charter violations and evidence-based medicine, he said. He also believes he has identified a better approach — investing more in the social determinants of health; the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. These are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and age, such as education and employment... "Taking people's rights away is a harm," he said. "By being forced into treatment, you're taking my liberty away. And forcing treatment on me is violating my security of the person." Other critics have argued the bill is unconstitutional because Section 9 of the Charter stipulates everyone has "the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.""
You're only allowed to promote drug use and the left wing agenda. Time to pretend that the successful European model doesn't involve stigma and discouraging drug use and is only about decriminalisation

B.C. rolls back drug decriminalization after public backlash - "In January 2023, the western province decriminalized possession for personal use of less than 2.5 grams of cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, and opioids like fentanyl. It was an attempt to treat drug use as a public health issue and keep users from falling into the criminal justice system. But health care workers, police, regional political leaders and members of the public have pushed back against open drug use in places like bus shelters, parks and hospitals. Oregon reversed a similar experiment with drug decriminalization following a public backlash. Eby’s government tried to ban drug use in a wide range of public places last year through provincial legislation, but the move was challenged and frozen in provincial court. This time, the premier is going further, asking the federal government — which has ultimate jurisdiction over criminal law in Canada — to dramatically scale back BC’s exemption in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act... Drugs would still be decriminalized in private residences, places where people are legally sheltering, overdose prevention sites and drug-checking locations. The province said it’s working with police on guidance not to arrest or charge those who merely possess drugs without threatening public safety, their own safety, or causing a disturbance. The proliferation of fentanyl — a synthetic drug 50 times stronger than heroin — has caused a horrifying public health crisis across North America and led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. Tiny quantities can cause overdoses and death because the drug is so potent."

Alex Hill on X - "The story of cocaine should be a cautionary tale to those hyping up the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics. Cocaine seemed like a miracle cure to "neurasthenia" epidemic. Researchers were themselves users turned evangelists. Lots of parallels with psychedelic advocacy today."
Richard Hanania on X - "But my understanding is that it turned out that cocaine is actually awesome for most people and we only ban it to protect the worst people from themselves, like with most drugs?"

This Heroin-Using Professor Wants to Change How We Think About Drugs - The New York Times - "Dr. Hart argued that most of what you think you know about drugs and drug abuse is wrong: that addiction is not a brain disease; that most of the 50 million Americans who use an illegal drug in a given year have overwhelmingly positive experiences; that our policies have been warped by a focus only on the bad outcomes; and that the results have been devastating for African-American families like his own. Much of the blame, he said, falls on his own profession. “We in the field are overstating the harmful effects of drugs,” he said. “We have miseducated the public, and that is wholly un-American and wrong.”... At Columbia, he began conducting experiments with drug addicts, recruiting them through ads in the Village Voice. With grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Dr. Hart and his colleagues administered millions of dollars’ worth of crack, methamphetamine, cannabis and other drugs in laboratory settings.  He expected his subjects to be like the people he heard about at conferences on drug abuse, or the crazed zombies in movies about addicts, he said: “Somebody who was essentially a slave to the drug. And that person I had never seen in all of my research.”  Instead, he said, subjects were diligent in reporting on time for the experiments, and when offered alternatives to drugs — a dollar in one experiment, $5 in another — they made rational choices, rather than compulsively feeding their addictions. “But that’s the mythology in the field,” he said. “Then I started to pay attention to our data, and you start to see that people are actually happy, and they are responsible. They show up for these demanding schedules.”... After receiving regular research grants totaling more than $6 million from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Dr. Hart found himself cut off after 2009. “Because I’m asking questions that do not focus on pathology, it’s harder to get funding,” he said."
Weird. Liberals like to claim that government funding does not result in ideological bias in science

Left Wing Delusions about Taxing Billionaires and Social Security

Left wingers love to go on about how "taxing the 'rich'" will fund the endless social spending that they always demand.

Of course, reality is very different.

Let us look at a concrete example.


Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks: "If billionaires like Bezos and Musk paid their fair share in taxes, we could expand Social Security benefits and ensure the program's future for 75 years!"

We already know that seizing all of billionaires' wealth will fund a grand total of 9 months of US federal spending and then the Golden Goose will be dead, but maybe funding Social Security is a more realistic goal?

As usual, the "fair share" that left wingers screech about is never defined, to keep its potency as a rallying cry. The closest I've seen to one is a 100% tax rate over $1 billion.

To be as generous as possible to Social Security (if not the billionaires), let's assume that 100% of all billionaires' wealth will be confiscated. According to Americans For Tax "Fairness" (whatever "Fairness" means), as of Labor Day 2025, the personal wealth of all billionaires in the US was $7.6 trillion.

This sounds like a lot of money.

However, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget calculated in June 2025 that Social Security's actuarial deficit was $26 trillion on a present value basis.

Bear in mind that this is without expanding Social Security benefits as left wingers demand (sometimes they call for lifting the cap, usually not realising that benefits would be uncapped too, leaving the program no better off).

So no, even if all billionaires' wealth was confiscated (much less if they "paid their fair share in taxes"), this would not cover the deficit in Social Security for 75 years, much less cover an expansion of benefits.

Links - 13th December 2025 (1 - Indigenous Peoples: Canada)

Parks Canada in confidential emails disputed the "215 buried children" story but made no public comment after Trudeau visited the site to "my respects to the graves." : r/CanadianConservative - "Most people would still call you a racist if you told them the truth on this topic. You're likely to lose your job as well. It's crazy!!"

Jonathan Kay on X - "is this really a surprise ? seriously, tho, this explains why it took a full year until journalists began debunking the social panic surrounding those 215 non-existent graves: It was an election year, and Trudeau's morbid photo-ops were treated as sacred social-justice kabuki"

Parks Canada staff doubted "graves" at Kamloops school site: emails - "Parks Canada employees doubted claims that hundreds of children were buried at a B.C. residential school site, according to emails. In a report published by Blacklock’s Reporter, staff of the government agency cast doubt on the media narrative that 215 “hits” identified by ground-penetrating radar at the site of the former school at Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation in Kamloops were actually the remains of children. Despite being provided with $12.1 million in federal money to conduct exhumation and DNA testing, no attempt has so far been made to identify what actually lies underground. In April, Blacklock’s reported Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation had spent years being turned down for government grants — a situation that quickly changed once the “anomalies” were found. “Authors refer to the 215 ground-penetrating radar hits that were reported in 2021 as ‘graves’ or ‘burials,’” wrote one Parks Canada consultant in an email. “But none of these sites have been investigated further to determine that they are graves.” The discovery of the anomalies in 2021 — described in the media and by politicians as unmarked graves of children — sparked a nationwide reaction, including visits by then-PM Justin Trudeau, who ordered government flags lowered at half-mast, and remained that way for nearly six months. The consultant also noted that ground-penetrating radar often produces “false positives, anomalies that are not indicative of anything significant” and recommended the anomalies be referred to as “possible” or “probable” graves. Indeed, an October 2023 Parks Canada report was modified to alter references to “graves” to “probable unmarked graves,” but emails from agency managers a year later concluded that it was inaccurate to even refer to them as “probable graves,” echoing the accuracy of relying on ground-penetrating radar. “It provides evidence of anomalies. I am quoting the archeologists here,” one manager wrote. “It might be preferable to not use the term ‘anomalies’ for now,” wrote another."
Time to fire the Genocide Deniers

Parks Canada staff doubted 'graves' at Kamloops school site: Emails : r/canada - "My best friend lives on one of the reserves up in kamloops that recieved the money. They bought a couple new pickups and pretended to be security guards for a couple years while paying out thousands to the "security guards/protectors" At least 2 million spent on "consultations" Maybe 1 million went to therapists/counselors The traditional school up there was actually one of the good ones. It was technically a day school so everyone went home at the end of the day. The people who lived at the school were orphans in the area that the band refused to look after. They had complete records and during operation the local bands always had members from the community working at the school."
"Careful now, suggesting that any of the residential schools were anything but genocidal torture factories will have you labelled as a "denier" and have some segments of our population suggesting you should be ostracized and locked up. I've witnessed a debate where someone tried to claim the intent behind the residential schools was good, even if the execution was abhorrent and inexcusable, and even that was apparently beyond the pale. Once the Secwepemc decided to make their archaeological and investigation processes private, that should've been the end of their federal funding for the project. Truth and reconciliation requires truth and openness, and if you want the average Canadian to pay for your expeditions, they have a right to know the truth you uncover. Considering the Secwepemc themselves have stopped referring to the anomalies as graves, and started talking about how the number of anomalies isn't about the number of graves, but symbolic of their people's suffering, I don't think it's much of a stretch to say they haven't found remains."

Blacklock's Reporter on X - "ICYMI - Access to Info #cdnfoi @CdnHeritage BC First Nation repeatedly told it did not qualify for grants. After claiming 215 graves, First Nation was deemed “priority client”and received more than $12.1 million. No remains have been recovered."

Parks Canada omits word 'genocide' in latest residential school designation - "In a notice of a plaque unveiling Thursday at Manitoba’s Portage la Prairie Residential School, managers acknowledged past assimilation policies without describing them as genocidal. “Built in 1915, the former Portage la Prairie Indian Residential School functioned within the Residential School system whereby the government and certain churches and religious organizations worked together to assimilate Indigenous children as part of a broad set of efforts to destroy Indigenous culture and identity and suppress Indigenous histories,” said the notice. The 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission was the first to describe the system as “cultural genocide,” which was accepted by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who told the CBC: “I accept the Commission’s report including the fact they used the word ‘genocide.’” Prime Minister Mark Carney’s father was principal of an Indian day school in the Northwest Territories in 1965. Carney has not repeated the language since taking office March 14 or referenced allegations of schoolchildren’s hidden graves at Indian residential schools. In 2021 the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation of Kamloops, B.C., said it had discovered the remains of 215 children at a former residential school. But an internal Parks Canada memo on July 3 showed managers were skeptical of the claim based on ground-penetrating radar which “often throws up false positives,” wrote one consultant. “None of these sites have been investigated further to determine that they are graves.” No remains have been recovered to date though the First Nation received $12.1 million in federal funding for field work including “exhumation of remains.”"

RBC Introduces No-Fee Bank Account for Indigenous Peoples Across Canada

African ancestral acknowledgement the new City Hall fad - "Tate said that he’s been getting messages from City Hall insiders who say that staff are being told and pressured to open every meeting reading out both acknowledgements. It takes three to four minutes to read them both out loud. Add that up across all city staff, all city meetings and you get one very expensive and performative waste of time and money... According to a city document from February 2021, the practice at City Hall started in 2018 and has grown since then. It started out as “a voluntary recognition offered to support Black staff wishing to use it to acknowledge their ancestors of African descent who have been present and actively contributing to life on Treaty lands and traditional Indigenous territories since the early 1600s.” Now it is growing, expanding and seeping into all parts of the city’s administration. In addition to an ancestral acknowledgment for Black people, there is one for those who aren’t black as well... What is reparative justice? It’s a phrase the document that accompanies the statement doesn’t define. It’s also questionable that the city is trying to link Toronto, and by extension Canada, to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade of which there was little to no involvement, and also fails to acknowledge Canada’s role in eradicating slavery as an institution... The folks behind DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion, will tell you this is about bringing people together, about reconciliation and about healing. It’s not. It’s incredibly divisive but at Toronto City Hall, this is the new religion being pushed by staff and an army of consultants pushing an agenda. “There is a burgeoning DEI bureaucracy at City Hall, and they inject their ideology into every department,” Tate said."

Calls increase for condemnation of OneBC leader over residential school photo - "OneBC party leader and Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie is defending herself and doubling down after a photo of her denying the deaths of children at Canada’s residential schools was circulated on social media. The image, taken in front of a sign in Penticton that references the 215 suspected unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Residential School site, showed Brodie holding up a sign that said 'Zero Bodies.' “We were up in Penticton for a town hall and saw the sign there again. Then we posted the photo we had taken earlier, because there have been zero bodies found, and that gigantic sign is still showing the number 215,” Brodie said. The post drew criticism from the Penticton Indian Band. In a letter signed by Chief Greg Gabriel and sent to B.C. Premier David Eby, the band detailed its disgust and outrage. "To exploit our lands and our pain for political gain and messaging is unconscionable," said the letter. In response, Brodie escalated her position, saying, “This is the greatest lie in Canadian history. The Grand Chief and other chiefs have been caught red-handed. This is anti-Canadian disinformation.” The band’s letter urges Eby to condemn Brodie’s remarks publicly, demand a formal apology to the Syilx people and residential school survivors, and review her conduct in light of the province’s reconciliation principles. Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Spencer Chandra Herbert backed the letter's demands. “We have to stand up against anti-Indigenous racism. We have to stand up against denialism. Residential schools happened, many kids did not come home,” he said... The letter from the Penticton Indian Band alleges her visit to the sign was an act of trespassing, something Brodie disputes. “The sign is right by a major highway. It’s a gigantic sign, and there’s no sign that says, ‘no trespassing,’ so I’m not sure what they’re talking about there,” she said. Herbert also addressed the emotional toll the incident has taken. “I feel bad for the Chief and Band members, that a member of this House would go to such lengths to spread hate,” he said."
Questioning left wing myths means you are a hateful racist bigot who hates indigenous people, and the media will gleefully proceed to slander you. Facts and fact-checking are only good when they push the left wing agenda

KLEIN: Indigenous spending tops $32 billion, accountability still lacking - "We are living in an era of historic spending on Indigenous priorities. The 2024–25 federal budget devotes nearly $32 billion toward programs and services. That level of commitment demands more than applause — it demands evidence and accountability. The question is simple: where is all that money going, and is it truly reaching the people it is meant to help? Federal Indigenous spending has nearly tripled since 2015, rising from about $11 billion to more than $32 billion today. Yet outcomes have not kept pace. A Fraser Institute report recently noted that improvements in Indigenous well-being remain modest and often stem more from national programs like the Canada Child Benefit than from targeted Indigenous spending. Meanwhile, the Yellowhead Institute estimated that less than 10% of federal Indigenous funding ever reaches communities directly. If that figure is accurate, most of the money is consumed by bureaucracy, administrative costs, and third-party contracts long before it touches the lives of those it’s meant to help. Yet we continue to hear stories of families without clean drinking water, homes in disrepair, and children in overcrowded classrooms. The spending extends beyond annual budgets. In recent years, Canada has agreed to a series of major financial settlements with enormous price tags. The federal government reached a $40 billion settlement on First Nations child welfare — half for improving services and half for compensating families. The Robinson Huron Treaty settlement alone was $10 billion, with about $5 billion going directly to First Nations for payout to individual members, ranging from $110,000 to $220,000 per person. Other class-action agreements have offered payouts between $20,000 and $40,000 per individual, with some receiving more. Ontario recently signed an $8.5 billion agreement to reform child and family services for First Nations, while another $23.34 billion settlement addressed underfunding in welfare programs. Add hundreds of millions held in trust funds, and the total soars to staggering levels... Too often, simply raising these questions is treated as taboo. But accountability is not an insult — it’s the foundation of trust. We expect businesses, charities, and governments to show how money is used. Why should Indigenous spending be exempt from the same standards? True accountability isn’t about blame; it’s about results. Consider Winnipeg’s Naawi-Oodena project, a large-scale urban development on the former Kapyong Barracks site. Treaty One Nations hold a majority share, with Canada Lands Company retaining the rest. Federal support totals only $5.5 million so far — a fraction of the project’s billion-dollar scale. A gas bar has opened, but key financial details such as lease revenues, reinvestment plans, and debt obligations remain opaque. This could be a model for Indigenous-led growth, but only if it operates transparently. Without accountability, doubt and distrust will linger."
Clearly, the problem is not enough money is being spent and anyone asking for accountability is racist and hates indigenous people

First Nation files lawsuit demanding Aboriginal title over lands in western Quebec : r/canada - "“The lawsuit is also seeking $5 billion in damages from Canada, Quebec, Hydro-Québec and the Crown corporation responsible for the National Capital Region.” Time to open up our wallets again…."
"Surely the untold billions that we have already thrown at this must have covered whatever obligations we may have had, that should be it now."
"Really the response to this should be gutting the annual funding if they’re going to keep taking the government to court."
"Indeed. “You just got awarded billions of dollars in court, looks like we can at least subtract that from your funding.” Honestly, if the insane amounts of money we already spend on this constantly isn’t sufficient, the only answer is close scrutiny as to how it is being spent and serious repercussions for embezzlement and waste. Not that our federal government is willing to even consider that either of course."

First Nation files lawsuit demanding Aboriginal title over lands in western Quebec : r/canada - "Actual question, how far do we go back? 100 years, 200 years, 500 years?

Sarkonak: Even Americans are getting Canadian Aboriginal rights now - "It may surprise you, citizen reader, that there are Americans out there who hold deeper constitutional rights in Canada than you. It’s because they’re Indigenous, and because the Supreme Court decided in 2021 that they should receive special privileges. Now, despite being foreign, they’re using their newfound esteem in Canadian courts to intervene in what kids are taught in school. Earlier this month, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation — an American entity in Washington state — sued the B.C. government for excluding it from education-related consultations. It also sued the government for its policy of notifying (but not consulting) the reserve about future potential development projects... “Due to a constellation of factors related to colonization, many Sinixt people involuntarily and gradually shifted their residence to the southern portion of their traditional territory, south of what is now the international border, but did not give up their claim to their traditional territory in Canada,” reads the filing. The group was barely present in Canada in the early 20th century, and its official band was declared extinct in the 1950s. The Colville tribes are now arguing that B.C. isn’t reconciling hard enough... [R. v. Desautel] wouldn’t be ideal for Indigenous communities in Canada either, as they could now face overlapping claims from their American counterparts. Now, we have more to be concerned about, with B.C. being sued for not including American Indigenous people in local school board business. And though they may not succeed, they have a decent shot at drawing the matter out in the courts at great cost to taxpayers — when in an earlier age, we could trust that their lawsuit would be thrown out in the early stages."

Leader of upstart provincial party visits Kamloops, calls for end to Aboriginal title rights : r/ilovebc - "It’s funny but also depressing being privy to some of the dealings that go on with the First Nations our work interacts with. There are revenue sharing agreements, which is just basically a pay to play agreement whereby you must give the nation 5% of your gross revenue in order to work in their territory. In return they are supposed to help you get projects and promote your business. This part rarely happens because they just make the same agreements with everyone and just take in the money. I know for sure our company has paid millions to bands throughout the province and we are still competing with the same companies who also have the same agreements. We have done just as much revenue since signing the agreements but with much lower margins, barely making a profit now. It is nice to see the band members all driving brand new $100k trucks and knowing we paid for some of those."

AITA for getting an aboriginal woman in trouble? : r/AmItheAsshole - "I (25F) am half black, half Canadian aboriginal. I am light skinned with 3A type hair. I look pretty black, hardly aboriginal. I spent my entire life defending myself to both the black community and the aboriginal community. I have to admit, I have always identified more with my black roots than aboriginal ones but since I now have a son whose father is full aboriginal, it’s very important to me to embrace both cultures. This is relevant. Recently, we went to a local store in our small Canadian town that sells handmade mukluks by the aboriginal community. We wanted to get some for all three of us. It was just my son and I in the store - my husband was not with us. I go up to the register and the cashier doesn’t greet me or even acknowledge me. She starts ringing up the mukluks, chucks the boxes in a bag and says “payment?” With a dirty look. I pull out my debit card and say “debit please”. She then mumbles under her breath “another one trying to steal our culture”. So I said “sorry, what?” And she says “yeah, you heard me. You’re just like the rest of them, coming here to steal what isn’t yours”. I immediately got upset because I AM aboriginal and I’m not stealing anything. This is just as much my culture as it is hers. I didn’t know what else to do, so I pulled out my treaty card from my wallet, put it on the desk, and said “I want to speak to your manager please”. She turned bright red and called another woman over. I explained what happened and said I wasn’t looking for anything except for comments like that to not be repeated. As I said before, I spent my entire life defending myself to BOTH communities i am supposed to be apart of. I also don’t feel like I need to justify why I’m buying mukluks. The manager basically said she would deal with it. I don’t know what happened to the cashier, if she got in trouble or not. But on the drive home I felt really embarrassed and now I feel like I’m TA and should’ve just ignored her and moved on with my day. So AITA for speaking to her manager and potentially getting her in trouble?"
Toxic cultural appropriation rhetoric strikes again, but this time it rebounded!
If it's wrong to "steal" culture, isn't it even worse to actively facilitate its "theft"?

Jamie Sarkonak: Treaties can't be relied upon to stop Alberta from leaving - "Various Indigenous leaders have complained vocally about Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s roundabout way of engaging with the province’s separatist movement by making it easier for organized citizens to arrange for referendums. But the moment they have me nodding along in understanding, they pull their own sovereigntist card: arguing that the numbered treaties situated in Alberta are a higher, purer form of authority; that secession talk violates treaty rights; and that treaty land is literally their property and thus untransferable... Treaty land is by definition ceded land — it was surrendered in exchange for benefits provided by the Crown... First Nations aren’t sovereign — they’re Crown subjects like anyone else; provinces have a large degree of self-determination power, which is detailed in the constitution. The fact that UNDRIP validates the existence of Indigenous groups around the world doesn’t make other levels of human organization illegitimate... Their frustrations make sense. Constitutional protection and the stability of a long relationship with Ottawa and hammered-out expectations are worth a lot. Plus, it’s the federal government that provides funding and benefits while laying off on the thorny matters of financial disclosure. The current federal government has been generous in signing billion-dollar settlements, including one for $1.4 billion last year in Alberta... When Quebec was rushing for the exit, the Supreme Court in 1998 weighed in on the requirements for legitimate separation; the Indigenous issue was brushed upon only lightly, concluding it was “unnecessary to explore further the concerns of the aboriginal peoples in this Reference.” Scholarship has since tried to brainstorm what secession looks like on the Indigenous front, but it’s all speculation without the real thing, or at least, a real court decision that does explore the issue further. Bradford Morse, a legal scholar and former land claims negotiator who went on to become the dean of law at Thompson Rivers University, covered the what-ifs in a 1999 essay: it could be that Independent Quebec would inherit its treaties with the First Nations from the feds; it could be that Independent Quebec would have to re-negotiate them; or it could be something else. There were too many unknowns to be sure... Weighing in on Alberta, Dwight Newman, a constitutional law professor, Indigenous rights expert and Canada-Research-Chair-holder at the University of Saskatchewan, told me the treaties would raise “genuine issues” were the province to separate. “It would seem plausible that there could be a state succession to a treaty…. People generally haven’t suggested that Quebec would be incapable of separating due to treaties”... The most extreme parts of the Indigenous side have been arguing for ethno-sovereignty for years, embracing the freemen-on-the-land-like “land back” movement and urging for an expansion of unique treatment under Canadian law. They use UNDRIP, memetic news stories, and “reconciliation” as levers to pull for even more state benefits and permissions, and the current federal government almost never says no. Their exaggerated understanding of Indigenous sovereignty — on display in their statements about separation — and their hold on Canadian land is voraciously lapped up by our own media, which often presents these views without counterpoints, giving them the appearance of legitimacy. Sure, they claim to love the Crown now, but just wait until it’s convenient to once again blame it for all their woes."
Weird how "indigenous" objections are not endlessly cited as a reason Quebec can't leave, or how Quebec separatists aren't denounced as "traitors", much less those who pushed for Confederation

Man Clarifies That 'Free Palestine' Means Palestinians Should Be Free To Kill The Jews | Babylon Bee

CMV: Criticizing Israel Should Be Just As Acceptable As Criticizing Scientology And Has Nothing To Do With Anti Semitism : r/changemyview - "what I think is antisemitic is that we are told to "believe women", elevate minority voices, and listen to minorities when they talk about micro aggressions, but when it comes to Jews, everyone wants to tell us what is and isn't antisemitic. this very post is an example of that."

Matthew Feinberg on X - "Write to the owners of City Lit books in Chicago about the fact that they removed Gabrielle Zevin’s book from their reading club choices because some members “expressed discomfort” with the author being a Zionist. This is anti-Jewish hatred, anti-Jewish rhetoric! They issued a statement refuting that but they still did not reverse the decision!"
David Bernstein on X - "Her crimes seem to be that she once spoke to a Hadasah group, one book of hers had an Israeli character, and she’s Jewish. She’s not a vocal pro-Israel voice, not that this would make it ok to boycott her, but this isn’t even anti-Zionism, this is boycotting any one with any distant connection to Israel, which would be the vast majority of Jews."

Heidi Bachram 🎗️ on X - "Irish actress Denise Gough says that Palestine is the little “place you shoot through” on the Death Star. If you free it the whole thing explodes, Sudan, Congo. This analogy is making my head hurt."
Eylon Levy on X - "If anyone asks you why anti-Zionism is antisemitism, show them this. Antisemitism isn’t just prejudice. It’s an ideology that Jewish power is standing between the world and utopia. Solve the Jewish problem, redeem the world. It’s just been transplanted onto the Jewish state."

That's because other belligerents who waged the 1948 war of extermination against it have never stopped trying to exterminate it. That's why there are supposedly negotiations to determine its boundaries. Duh."

Saul Sadka on X - "Bill Nye thinks the Holocaust could have been avoided if Jews had made more effort to get to know their neighbours. Zionism means Jews no longer have to stay and die, beg for their lives on bended knee, and can fight back when attacked. That’s why all Jew-haters hate Zionism."

Lahav Harkov 🎗️ on X - "This is appalling ignorance by @BillNye. German Jews were some of the most assimilated and secular in Europe. They were university professors and military officers. They didn’t live in shtetls. They were murdered anyway. And if this is supposed to be advice for today? Most American jews marry non-Jews, so I think they’ve gotten to know their neighbors quite well."

Adam Louis-Klein on X - "I’ve been reading Edward Said—the Arab intellectual who reframed Middle Eastern studies away from what he called “Orientalism” and toward a politicized alignment with antizionist politics—alongside Yuri Ivanov, the Soviet propagandist who authored the canonical work of Soviet “Zionology.”  There’s no clear evidence that Said directly read Ivanov or other Soviet antizionist literature. But Said was a member of the PLO, and we know that key PLO texts—Fayez Sayegh’s Zionist Colonialism in Palestine (1965), the two PLO Charters, and Mahmoud Abbas’s dissertation (which advanced the Zionist–Nazi collaboration libel and Holocaust denial)—were developed in close coordination with Soviet ideologues.  What strikes me most is the similarity in tone. Both authors write with a bitter, resentful energy, where a theory that reduces everything to “power” ends up portraying its targets as malevolent, scheming agents. It’s a moralizing, emotive register that bypasses the analytic task of critique—and lends Said’s work, sophisticated as it is, a distinctly conspiratorial air."

JIMENA on X - "Zero Jews live in Baghdad. Zero Jews live in Ramallah. Zero Jews live in Tripoli. Zero Jews live in Damascus. Zero Jews live in Sana'a. Zero Jews live in Gaza. Zero Jews live in Cairo. Zero Jews live in Nablus. Zero Jews live in Alexandria.  Nearly 2 million Muslims live in Israel.   Numbers don't lie, antisemites do."

Palestine rights group seeks prosecution of UK citizens who fought for Israel - "A human rights group has launched an attempt to mount a private prosecution alleging British citizens unlawfully went to fight for Israel.  An application to a magistrates court for a summons against a named individual was lodged on Monday.  The highly unusual prosecution is being brought by the International Centre for Justice for Palestinians (ICJP). The human rights group intends to argue in court that named Britons joined a foreign army at war with a state, Palestine, which the UK was not fighting.  It claims that waging war with a foreign force is a breach of section 4 of the Foreign Enlistment Act 1870. The act makes it an offence for any person to accept or agree a commission or engagement in the military service of any foreign state at war with another foreign state that is at peace with the UK government."
But of course, banning Palestine Action is tyranny and prosecuting those who joined ISIS like Shamima Begun is Islamophobia
Will they prosecute British people who fight for Ukraine?

Ounka on X - "No Hamas in west bank but still Israel built a massive wall and fence deep inside the West Bank This wall is not for security, but for segregation. Because apartheid isn’t a policy there — it’s the brand."

Steve Holland on X - "If this person really wants to show a wall, show the one between Gaza and Egypt."
The cope is that Egypt's wall is good because then Israel can't expel Gazans from Gaza. So the "pro-Palestinian" crowd *want* Palestinians to go into Israel and be genocide-d

Jordan is Palestine - "Jordan is Palestine. Palestine is Jordan.  This is the royal decree and sentiments of two of the kings of Jordan.  "Palestine and Jordan are one..." said King Abdullah in 1948.  "The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan," said King Hussein of Jordan, in 1981.  Let's closely examine the facts of history from the Arab perspective, rather than the Jewish one, regarding Jordan and Palestine.  "Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is only one land, with one history and one and the same fate," Prince Hassan of the Jordanian National Assembly was quoted as saying on February 2, 1970.   Accordingly, Abdul Hamid Sharif, Prime Minister of Jordan declared, in 1980, "The Palestinians and Jordanians do not belong to different nationalities. They hold the same Jordanian passports, are Arabs and have the same Jordanian culture."... "There should be a kind of linkage because Jordanians and Palestinians are considered by the PLO as one people," according to Farouk Kaddoumi, then head of the PLO Political Department, who gave the statement to Newsweek on March 14, 1977.  Distinguished Arab-American Princeton University historian Philip Hitti testified before the Anglo-American Committee, "There is no such thing as 'Palestine' in history."  According to Arab-American columnist Joseph Farah, "Palestine has never existed - before or since - as an autonomous entity. It was ruled alternately by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire, and briefly by the British after World War I. The British agreed to restore at least part of the land to the Jewish people as their homeland. There was no language known as Palestinian. There was no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a Palestine governed by the Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc....
* Approximately half of Jordan's prime ministers since 1950 have been Arab 'Palestinians'.
* More than 2/3 of the Jordanian people are Arab 'Palestinians'...
 * Jordan occupies 77% of the original Palestine Mandate (originally promised to the Jewish people). The population density of Jordan is less than 61 people per square mile leaving lots of room to absorb many more of their brethren and cousins...
 During the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, in which nine Arab nations attacked Israel, they took control of the ancient biblical territories of Judea and Samaria (Jewish territory, which was "occupied" for nineteen years until 1967, when it was liberated and reconquered in yet another defensive war).  On April 24, 1950, Abdullah formally merged all of Arab-held Palestine with Transjordan and granted citizenship to all Arab residents and settlers (the vast majority of whom arrived the 1920s for economic reasons).  The Hashemite Kingdom was no longer only across the river so the prefix "Trans" (meaning "across") was dropped, and henceforth, the land became known as Jordan; i.e., Arab Palestine."

Uri Kurlianchik on X - "The greatest trick the Arabs managed to pull is convincing the world they're a minority fighting for freedom against an empire and not a part of one the largest empires in human history fighting to extinguish an tiny, unique, native civilization."

CMV: A free Palestine would look very similar to a free Afganistan : r/changemyview - "I am a former Muslim from Egypt originally so I know the region quite well. 88% of Muslim Egyptians believe I should be executed for leaving the faith which is why I was able to escape and make it to the West where I much prefer living.  Because of my background I've been uniquely interested in the discussion around the Middle East over the last two years and especially the free Palestine dialog on the left which I view as misguided at best. And I agree with Salman Rushdie that a free Palestine would most closely resemble a free Afghanistan.  People in the West do not understand people in the Middle East. The wrongly think all people are the same and all hold the same or similar values. This is wrong and naive.  It is exactly this type of thinking that caught the United States in Afghanistan. They thought the people were similar enough that they would eventually embrace Western style democracy if they pushed them far enough similar to what happened in Germany After WW2. Which is why the US spent 20 years and a trillion dollars in Afghanistan building infrastructure, forcing them to allow girls to go to school, and telling them not to throw gays off buildings. And after 20 years they tucked tail and ran, fled back home and the Afghans immediately went back to throwing gays off buildings, banning females from going to school and selling young girls into sex slavery. It turns out there is a difference between Germans and Afghan  If Greta Thunberg ever gets her wish you will see similar things in Palestine. Mark my words"
Terrorism supporters would then just blame Israel for everything wrong with Palestine till the end of time

Ben Goldsmith on X - "It will never not be fascinating how western progressives were intellectually captured en masse at this time by an imperialistic Islamist movement which stands opposed to every progressive value they claim to hold. When you think about it, it is wild, to see students and their professors marching in their keffiyehs against the only (tiny) liberal democracy in the Middle East as it battles for its survival, and in support of the jihadists which surround it, jihadists whose publicly stated goals are to convert or eradicate minorities, execute gays, adulterers and apostates, subjugate women, and whose many many victims are in fact overwhelmingly Palestinians and other Muslims from across the region. How the Islamist movement achieved this feat of PR will be studied for years to come. All of the sane Muslim states have crushed and banned the Islamists, knowing full-well the threat they pose, the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, etc. Yet among western ‘liberals’ and on western university campuses they are adored and celebrated. There are earlier precedents. Socialists and students in 1970s Iran helped Islamist revolutionaries to take power, after which the Islamists rounded up and killed them."

Thread by @HillelNeuer on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "NO JOKE: Amnesty International's researcher in Gaza got Hamas to arrest peace activist Rami Aman for the crime of organizing a video call for Gazans to meet Israelis.  Why, @AgnesCallamard @amnesty?  See exclusive new interview in full: unwatch.org/from-gazas-pri… x.com/UNWatch/status…
On April 8, 2020, Amnesty International researcher Hind Khoudary, now an Al Jazeera “journalist,” called on Hamas to arrest Rami Aman for his peace initiatives. “In 2020, we organized a big conference between 10 Gazans and 300 Israelis,” explains Aman. “We were talking about Coronavirus — not talking about one state or two states, or talking about negotiation. We were talking about how we can save each other.”  “And two days later, I found a post started from a journalist working with Amnesty called Hind Khoudary, asking Hamas and mentioning Hamas leaders on Facebook, to arrest me.

Iran executes ‘Israeli spy’ Babak Shahbazi for ‘writing a letter on Microsoft Word’ - "A father-of-two has been executed in Iran after being convicted of spying for Israel.  Babak Shahbazi was hanged in prison on Wednesday, according to activists who said he had been tortured into a false confession.  Iran Human Rights, an Oslo-based campaign group, said the 44-year-old was detained after writing a letter on Microsoft Word to Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, offering to fight in the Ukrainian military.  The group said: “Babak’s message to president Zelensky offering to help in the war against Russia was used as an example of espionage for Israel, who they claim taught Babak to use Microsoft Word.”"

Luai Ahmed on X - "I have been sick to my stomach watching white liberals and demented pro-Palestinian activists call a Houthi terrorist “the Prime Minister of Yemen.”  Perhaps in your twisted neo-Nazi world where Hamas are “freedom fighters,” where Hezbollah are “anti-colonialists,” and the fascist Islamic regime in Iran are “liberators of the Middle East” - yes, maybe there, in that sick, upside-down Hitlerian reality, a Houthi terrorist is the legitimate Prime Minister of Yemen.   But in the real world, to us Yemenis, the Houthis are nothing but a fascist sectarian terrorist militia that has held our population hostage since 2014, starved our children, slaughtered, and tortured our journalists, women, minorities, and anyone who dares demand basic rights or criticise their undemocratic coup and medieval rule.   It is absolutely mind-numbing to witness how far anti-Israelism rots the mind, to the point where people glorify our murderers and call them our leaders."

The great institutions of this nation are all falling victim to anti-Semitism

The great institutions of this nation are all falling victim to anti-Semitism

"Hatred of Jews is as old as the pharaohs. But history shows that when the very institutions of a state fail to protect their Jewish minority then the threat starts to apply to the future of the state itself, not just of its Jewish population. Britain is moving with frightening rapidity in this dangerous direction...

The NHS

Around 500 complaints of anti-Semitism relating to 123 doctors were submitted to the General Medical Council in the last two years, according to figures collated by Jewish News. But the even more worrying figure is that the responsible bodies simply shut down 84 per cent of these complaints at the triage stage.

The Health Secretary Wes Streeting has rightly said that medical institutions are “completely failing to protect Jewish patients”. The Prime Minister has ordered a review of anti-Semitism in the NHS from the Government’s independent adviser on anti-Semitism, saying there are too many cases “simply not being dealt with”.

Well, if the Prime Minister does not have confidence in the system how does he think Jewish patients feel?

The BBC

... an earlier Ofcom reprimand in 2022 that the BBC made a “serious editorial misjudgment” at that time when it falsely reported, in a textbook “victim-blaming” incident, that Jewish students on a bus who had been subjected to racist abuse were themselves responsible for what happened.

But the fact is that it isn’t just about the reporting. Two hundred Jewish employees of the BBC and the entertainment industry wrote a letter of complaint to BBC board members in June last year about concerns over bias and anti-Semitism.

The letters contained multiple allegations of anti-Semitism both on and off screen.

The chairman of the BBC Board of Governors Samir Shah answered the letter directly, but dismissed the signatories’ call for a formal investigation...

The police

The decision by West Midlands Police to appease a mob of haters and instead ban the actual victims of hatred – Jewish supporters of the Maccabi Tel Aviv football team in Birmingham this month – has outraged many. A “national disgrace” Kemi Badenoch rightly called it. But these decisions are being made by authoritative bodies which are supposed to protect law and order, not appease threats of disorder.

A cross-party group of current and former parliamentarians, myself included, have written to the Chief Constable for an explanation, after multiple reports that the disorder our police relied upon in Amsterdam last year which has been attributed to Jewish fans of Maccabi was in fact a rabidly anti-Semitic attack orchestrated via a 900-member Dutch WhatsApp group which, according to Dutch court records, was planning their attack well before the match. The West Midlands Police narrative is now being challenged, the Commons home affairs committee is investigating, but there has so far been a deafening silence from them to parliamentarians’ concerns.

Last month the Metropolitan Police arrested a lawyer who was an observer at another hate march and put it to him in his police interview that his wearing a Star of David was provocative. He was detained in a police station for almost 10 hours.

Police forces across the country have failed to stop disruptive and racist weekly hate marches for two years and the Met Police have even defended their decision not to challenge people calling for “Jihad” at a rally in London in October 2023, claiming the word “has a number of meanings”.

Then came the incident last year when the Met Police stopped a counter-protester from walking up Whitehall during a hate march because he was “quite openly Jewish”.

Whilst police have taken no action against numerous hate marchers they enthusiastically proceeded against a Jewish man arrested and charged with racial harassment (eventually dropped after eight months) after he displayed a sign satirising Hezbollah’s then-leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Earlier this year, in one of the worst examples of two-tier policing, Essex Police allowed “anti-Israel” protesters to march through a heavily Jewish residential area of Westcliff-on-Sea near Southend at Passover in April. Chanting “globalise the intifada”, dozens of demonstrators chose to parade not in a town centre but through the residential streets of an orthodox Jewish neighbourhood when Jewish families were returning home from synagogue.

Universities 

... According to the Community Security Trust charity, there was a 117 per cent increase in anti-Semitic incidents on UK campuses between 2022 and 2024.

Polling of 1,000 students at British universities conducted by the educational charity StandWithUs UK last year revealed that 29 per cent saw the mass murder and rapes of October 7 as “understandable.” This rose to 38 per cent among students of Russell Group universities. The poll even found that 38 per cent of students agreed that those who publicly supported Israel should “expect” abuse on campus. This increased to 51 per cent of Russell Group students...

The charity sector

Several Jewish charities in the UK are under constant regulatory assault, deliberately targeted by politically motivated complaints and campaigns designed to disrupt and distract their work.

This month I attended a lecture by a Jewish feminist who has campaigned for women’s rights and equality her whole adult life – but after the mass rapes of October 7 she was devastated to find that people she knew in her sector whom she thought were her friends and professional colleagues were totally mute over the rapes of Jewish women and girls, many of whom were savagely mutilated and raped to death.

Many feminists who have spent their lives advocating for women to be “believed” disgraced themselves and their cause when their high principles were found not to apply to the Jewish victims of October 7. Women’s rights groups were largely silent.

The “Me Too” movement became “Me Too – Unless You’re a Jew”.

Local councils

... There are also numerous council boycotts of the world’s only Jewish state when, needless to say, no such attempts are made to instigate a similar boycott against savage dictatorships and murderous autocracies around the world.

Councils have also conflated Jewish events with Israel on several occasions.

Hounslow council postponed a Jewish cultural event organised by the Board of Deputies of British Jews in 2023, citing “safety concerns”, after it had been running for 40 years.

Havering council reversed a decision to cancel an official candle-lighting ceremony for the Jewish religious festival of Hanukkah after a meeting with community leaders following media controversy...

The Courts

When three women were found guilty of terrorism offences for displaying images of paragliders at a pro-Palestinian march in London, but were handed a 12-month conditional discharge after deputy senior district judge Tan Ikram said he had “decided not to punish” the defendants, this sent a message to police not to bother...

Nearly half of Britons think the UK is unsafe for Jewish people in the wake of the Heaton Park synagogue attack, according to More in Common research published this week. Six in 10 Britons are worried about the rise in anti-Semitism, according to the same pollsters.

But I believe that number would be significantly higher if those polled could see Jewish primary schools with high security fences, a heavy security guard presence and armed police patrols. These have had to be a feature of Jewish schools across the country for many years.

Regulators which fail in their duties should be shut down; government funding of councils and universities which fail to protect their Jewish students or fail to follow government policies on countering anti-Semitism should have their funding slashed.

If the courts fail to protect all members of our society judges should be more easily removed. The days of Bishops in the national legislature must rightly be numbered after decades of Leftist posturing. Local councils deciding tin-pot foreign policy on their petty boycotts and tribal hatreds should be banned from doing so, as the last Conservative government tried but sadly failed to do."

Ncole ✡︎ on X - "🔴 This story says everything. Eyal Waldman, one of Israel’s top high-tech innovators & founder of Mellanox, believed in peace through opportunity. In 2017, he opened a development hub inside Gaza, giving hundreds of Palestinian engineers high-paying jobs, dignity, and a future. He said proudly: “There are talented and smart people in Gaza. Cooperation reduces fear. Working together brings our nations closer.”
He chose hope.
He chose coexistence.
He chose to invest in the very people the world said Israel was “oppressing.”
And then came October 7. Palestinian terrorists crossed the border and murdered his 24-year-old daughter, Danielle, less than a mile from the center he built to give Gazans opportunity. Read that again: He - gave - them - jobs. This is the truth people refuse to look at: Israel reached out with opportunity. Hamas answered with slaughter. If this doesn’t expose the lie behind the “resistance” narrative, nothing will."

The assault was recorded on video and shared on social media. While the victim is laying on the ground injured, the assailant is seen tossing what appears to be a kippah into a puddle of water... The judge also said the criminologist wrote that the hot weather experienced in Montreal on the day in question might have played a role a what happened."

UN Security Council approves US-backed plan for Gaza | CNN : r/IRstudies - "They were NOT occupying Gaza at the time and have no settlements there — which led to a massive terrorist attack inside Israel. Meanwhile they are occupying and settling in the WB, meaning no massive terror plans go unnoticed. I guess Gaza really taught Israel a lesson not to ever withdraw from Palestinian territory. This is what I am talking about — total lack of any strategic thought."

Michael Geist on X - "It is happening here. “No country in the world since October 7th has had more its synagogues threatened, vandalized, and firebombed than Canada.”"
Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦 on X - "The Emir of Abu Dhabi built a synagogue three years ago as part of the Abrahamic Family House. It has never been attacked or vandalized. Not once. Why? Because the state protects it, and anyone attacking it would face severe consequences. That is no longer the case in Canada. Canadian politicians who repeat the cliché that “antisemitism has no place in Canada” are lying. It now has a very large place in Canada."

Hen Mazzig on X - "Remember the young Jewish girl who was raped in France by three teenagers because of her religion? Last year, amid the surge in antisemitism after October 7, a 12-year-old Jewish girl hid her identity at school. But when one of her classmates, also 12, found out, he decided to "take revenge." On June 15, 2024, he called two friends and together they planned an ambush for her. As she was quietly walking home after school, the three boys forced her into an abandoned building. Inside, they raped her multiple times, burned her hair, humiliated her, threatened to kill her, and hurled antisemitic insults at her — all because she was Jewish. She genuinely believed she was going to die in that abandoned kindergarten near her school. Among the three boys, only one appealed. And even though the court confirmed today both his guilt and the antisemitic nature of the attack, the 15-year-old still had his sentence reduced by two years under an "educational measure." While Macron is busy commemorating Dreyfus 130 years later, this 12-year-old girl will see her rapist walk free two years earlier. And people still wonder why thousands of French Jews are making aliyah."

"That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable even if it happened in the past."
"You can’t fight a war if it’s totally unacceptable for any civilians whatsoever to die. By your logic Hamas could just do October 7 and then hide among civilians and Israel would just have to throw up their hands and say “that’s it guys, nothing we can do- they’re hiding among civilians.”"
"Armies hate this one simple trick…"

Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر on X - "The idea that South Africa didn’t know that a plane of Gazans was coming is absurd, as are all of their excuses. First off Palestinians don’t need a visa to enter South Africa. Second you can’t charter a plane without the arriving airports being aware of such a flight. Third, it’s very obvious that the only reason they are objecting is because it’s Israel who is allowing the entry and exit of Gazans as the Egyptian agency Hala has shut down with the closing of Rafah, meaning the Palestinian Authority doesn’t get their kick backs. That’s why we saw the Palestinian Authority demanding that the South African government not allow these Gazans entry into South Africa. Finally, planes of Gazans have been coming to South Africa for two years straight — and when that was done, they bragged about it as if it was humanitarian mission, yet when the exact same thing is done by Israel, they claim it’s “ethnic cleansing.” Enough with the BS. The South African government is utterly shameful and cares more about Palestinian terror propaganda than they do about their own people."
Then they withdraw the visa exemption, blaming Israel for it. Why do they hate Palestinians so much, not allowing them to flee "genocide"? It's amazing how those who keep screeching about "genocide" oppose Palestinians leaving to go to somewhere "safe" - unless it's a Western country. It's weird how we are also told that it was disgraceful that fleeing Jews during World War II were refused entry to other countries and had to return to Europe to be slaughtered. It's almost as if they aren't actually worried about "genocide".

Germany : r/Knowledge_Community - "Germany Airlifts Donkeys From Gaza While Injured Palestinian Children Are Denied Evacuation
Since the start of Israel’s assault on Gaza, Germany has evacuated just two Palestinian children, only to deport them back into the warzone. But this week, German media celebrated the arrival of eight donkeys from Gaza, flown out as “rescued victims of conflict” and warmly welcomed into heated stables, veterinary care, and public sympathy. The animals were transported through a coordinated Israeli–German operation and placed in zoos and ranches across the country. Meanwhile, Germany continues to reject appeals to evacuate mutilated, maimed, or critically injured Palestinian children, even after multiple German cities volunteered to host them for urgent medical treatment. The contrast is staggering: where Palestinian families begging for help face bureaucratic stonewalls, the donkeys were granted swift relocation, compassion, and national coverage framing them as symbols of moral rescue."
"Why Muslim countries aren't helping their brothers? Why aren't they accepting refugees from Palestine?"
"They did before, but won't do it again in case they try to destabilise their countries like before."

Heidi Bachram 🎗️ on X - "NEW: Police release footage to trial of the Palestine Action members. It shows the attack on PC Kate Evans with a sledgehammer. This is distressing. She still isn’t back to normal duties. Yet mainstream journalists and celebs call Palestine Action non-violent. A nasty joke."

Hen Mazzig on X - "In August of last year, six members of Palestine Action broke into a factory near Bristol. Now that they are on trial, we are getting the grisly details of what happened. A security guard, Angelo Volante, recalled in court how the group had threatened him with a sledgehammer and then proceeded to whip him (yes, with an actual whip) until he left the premises. When Volante returned with police, the attack didn't end. Sgt Evans, a female member of the police force, was ambushed by Palestine Action member Samuel Corner, who struck her in the back with a sledgehammer. Sgt. Evans' back was fractured by the multiple swings of the sledgehammer, and has been deeply impacted by the injury. So, when someone asks, "Why on Earth was Palestine Action proscribed as a terrorist organization?" Go ahead and tell them about this story."
Damn fascist British government cracking down on peaceful protesters!

Sally Rooney's smugness is boundless - "The idea that Palestine Action should be unproscribed so that an eye-wateringly rich novelist can keep getting royalties from Britain is bizarre... If Ms Rooney doesn’t mind, I think I’ll pay more heed to the concerns of my Jewish compatriots than to the puffed-up complaining of a literary superstar. Their sense of safety matters more to me than your book sales. Then there’s her pose as a swaggering radical, as a cultural insurgent so devoted to “the cause” that she is even willing to clash with The Man and his unjust laws. It’s hilarious. Not since Rick from The Young Ones has there been such an unconvincing performance of rebellion. The truth is that Ms Rooney has not once expressed an opinion that wouldn’t win thunderous applause in bourgeois circles. She is luxury belief made flesh. She’s anti-Brexit. “I was Remain, like any sensible person,” she told The New Yorker in 2018, with stunning haughtiness. She’s ostentatiously worried about climate change. She told the High Court this week that she advocates “direct action”, including “property sabotage”, not only for Palestine but for “climate justice”, too. Translation: Aren’t I wonderful? Even her Palestine posturing is conformism dolled up as rebellion. Hating Israel is the moral glue of the radical middle-classes. It’s virtually mandatory. To see what I mean, try wearing an Israel flag to the next Sally Rooney event in the UK. I guarantee you’ll have a glass of Cabernet poured over you and maybe even a whack from a Birkin bag. Forget “liberating” Palestine Action – who will liberate us from the tyrannical smugness of Sally Rooney?"

Rabbi Poupko on X - "🚨🚨🚨 HAPPENING NOW OUTSIDE PARK EAST SYNAGOGUE Antisemites have showed up outside Park East synagogue and are chanting for intifada. The Rabbi of the synagogue is a holocaust survivor who remembers vividly the horrors of Kristallnacht. Now, he gets to see the same human material that shattered the glass of synagogues in Berlin and Vienna in 1938, outside his own synagogue. This is not about Gaza and has never been about Gaza. This is an attack on the Jewish people."

Rabbi Poupko on X - "OPEN LETTER TO PROTESTER To the person who showed up outside Park East Synagogue last night chanting to "globalize the intifada" , and saying "de@th to the IDF". I will not appeal to your moral sensibilities. I will not tell you this is a synagogue that was home to the most Holocaust survivors in New York, about the children who go through the synagogue door, about the people who find meaning and community within its sacred walls. You probably knew all that before you showed up, and you still showed up. It probably felt good and empowering for you to stand there and shout at us. Here is what I will bring to your attention. To the Brownshirts who went from being bitterly unemployed to standing with a uniform and a group outside of Jewish stores in Berlin in the 1930s, it probably also felt very good. They went from being lonely economically and socially broken individuals, to a place of belonging and power. Here's what those Brownshirts enjoyed less. Just 10 years after they stood outside of those Jewish stores in Berlin, they were freezing and starving for months outside the gates of Stalingrad. Most of them did not make it out alive. They froze or starved to death. Just 10 years after those rallies in Munich and Nuremberg, they were laying at the feet of British soldiers in the deserts of North Africa. Antisemitism is a sweet poison pill; it feels good at the moment and the price comes only later. This kind of chaos, hate, and incility will affect us first, but the consequences for a society that allows such hate, are disintegration the kind of which we have seen in World War II."

Starmer's latest betrayal on the international stage is not only morally wrong. It's stupid - "The gathering, organised by the Israel Defence Forces, was intended for friendly countries to learn the strategies and tactics employed in Operation Iron Swords, the Jewish state’s response to the Palestinian invasion on October 7, 2023. Given the depleted state of our defences right now, Britain could use whatever help it can get, but the Government is more concerned with politics. Labour doesn’t even have France and Canada to hide behind. Earlier this year, the UK teamed up with those two countries to undermine Israel’s war against Hamas and further isolate the Jewish state diplomatically by unilaterally recognising a Palestinian state without requiring the Palestinians to make peace with Israel first. This Axis of Weasel harmed Israel’s war efforts, yet even France and Canada attended this week’s conference. But within the British Government, and no longer just the Foreign Office, there is a hair-trigger antagonism towards Israel – a product of history, institutional prejudice and the progressive ideology which has seized the UK’s governing classes... That Keir Starmer’s Government continues to stick its thumb in Israel’s eye long after others have abandoned that approach speaks either to its inability to adapt to changing circumstances or to a deliberate political choice to distance the UK from Israel. This is not an isolated incident. There was the announcement in September that Israelis would no longer be welcome at the Royal College of Defence Studies, a decision taken, according to an MoD spokesperson, because “the Israeli government’s decision to further escalate its military operation in Gaza is wrong”. The Starmer Government also chose to suspend around 30 arms licences to Jerusalem, a craven act of betrayal against a friendly nation in the middle of a war to release its hostages from a death cult. A cynic might suggest that there is more to this ill-treatment than fashionable “anti-colonialist” politics or the Foreign Office’s longstanding Arabist bent. That the Government sees some electoral advantage in being ostentatiously unpleasant towards Israel, that it perhaps has a specific audience in mind for these little stunts, a demographic that might have once been solidly Labour but which has begun to shift to alternative political forces for their more hardline stance on the Jewish state. Whatever the reason, pushing Israel away is a grave error and doing so in the area of defence and strategic cooperation is an act of national self-harm. Here is a country whose military and intelligence services have unparalleled experience and expertise in monitoring, disrupting and responding to Islamist terrorism, and faces this threat in a multi-ethnic, multi-faith society where sectarian and nationalist tensions daily threaten to erupt. Given the current threat of Islamism to the UK and emerging signs of cultural and even ethnic fragmentation, there is almost no country whose knowledge and practices could better benefit Britain and those tasked with keeping her safe. Israel is not only a friendly nation, it is a useful one. Cooperation would be in Britain’s best interests, a consideration which might have enjoyed some sway in other governments. In whoever’s interest Starmer governs, it certainly isn’t Britain’s."
They want to hand over the country to Islamists, and criticising Islamism is Islamophobia, which will be a criminal offence, so good luck

Amit Segal on X - "If you were a prime minister or president, would you send your military to learn from a country that has committed war crime after war crime? Well, despite allegedly committing every imaginable evil in the Gaza Strip since October 7, the IDF just hosted over 100 senior military representatives from nearly 20 countries in a five-day program, in which it took them through its takeaways from the past two years of a multi-front war. Who took part? The United States, Canada, Germany, Finland, France, India, Greece, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Estonia, Japan, Morocco, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia. And no, they did not come to Israel to learn how to commit genocide or create a famine. Ok, so what was discussed? “Topics covered included advances in the military use of data and AI, the co-ordination of drones and artillery to protect advancing troops, and how to increase the chances of injured soldiers surviving their wounds,” according to the @Telegraph . But back to the participants. France and Canada, which jumped on the latest international bandwagon of recognizing a Palestinian state, took part. So did Germany, which imposed a temporary arms embargo on Israel in August. Japan, which in September slammed the IDF’s operations in Gaza City as “entirely unacceptable” and likely to “aggravate the… famine” in the strip, also came to learn from the Israeli military. So did Finland, whose president said that same month that the IDF’s continued war in Gaza “violates international law and norms.” You get the point. Some of the countries who joined this program have taken great issue with Israel’s alleged aggressions against the Palestinian people in the past two years, yet they seem to have no qualms about learning from the very same Israeli military that they have repeatedly condemned. Yes yes, I know domestic politics also plays a role in the condemnations. Nevertheless, world leaders should take note: you can publicly accuse Israel of war crimes, yet still sit in its classrooms — which raises the question, did you ever really believe your own condemnations?"

Hen Mazzig on X - "HORRIFYING: An anonymous website published a hit-list of Israeli Jewish academics, offering $100k for their murders. The website lists the personal information of senior professors, doctors, and scientists—and even Israeli students—claiming they are “criminals involved in the murder of Palestinian children." It appears to be operated from the United States or another Western country and is potentially tied to the Islamic Republic in Iran. Some of the first Jews the Nazis targeted were academics. Now, in 2025, Jewish academics are once again targets for violence and execution. A hit-list of Jews should make the headlines of every major news outlet, yet few will even care to report it. Ignoring antisemitism is how Jews get killed. It’s how the Holocaust started. We are not safe. Speak up before it’s too late."
