The Archbishop is complicit in Britain’s civilisational capitulation

Re: Church of England ‘condoning oppression of women’ with niqab photo

"The Archbishop of Canterbury has been accused of condoning the repression of Muslim women after she gave an award to an Islamic cleric who honoured Osama Bin Laden.

Dame Sarah Mullally was pictured with Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi, an Islamic scholar, and his wife, who was wearing a niqab so that only her eyes were visible, when he received his award on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that Bin Laden orchestrated...

“The Church of England teaches the equal dignity and worth of men and women. Yet you presented the award alongside Mr Ashrafi’s wife, whose face was concealed by a niqab so that only her eyes were visible and Lambeth Palace subsequently published that image”...

The cleric praised Bin Laden, whose al Qaeda terror group killed 2,977 people in the 9/11 attacks, for targeting British people. The award honoured him as a “Muslim warrior”.

Mr Ashrafi has also said suicide bombings in Afghanistan were lawful, supported Islamic blasphemy laws, which carry the death penalty, and claimed that Jews and Christians were using the war in Iran to target Iran’s nuclear weapons.

A spokesman for Mr Ashrafi and his council said his remarks had been taken “out of context”.

Ms Paul and Mr Timothy said in their letter: “These were not obscure allegations that could only have been uncovered through extensive investigation."

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: The Archbishop is complicit in Britain’s civilisational capitulation
Western elites insist on pretending that all cultural frameworks are moral equals. Dame Sarah Mullally should know better

In his seminal essay After Ten Years, written at the turn of 1942-1943, the German theologian and anti-Nazi resister Dietrich Bonhoeffer diagnosed a profound psychological pathology that regularly overtakes captured elites. He noted that in the face of systemic institutional pressures, individuals do not merely lose their judgment; they surrender their intellectual independence to a collective condition. In such states, Bonhoeffer warned: “The stupid person… is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.” Reason falls on deaf ears, and facts that contradict the prevailing group-think are simply pushed aside as inconsequential.

The modern Western establishment is currently held captive by just such a powerful institutional spell: a persistent conviction that the complex frictions of a morally and ethically splintering society can be permanently smoothed over through the mechanics of public relations, bureaucratic deference and administrative compliance. When faced with deep civilisational or theological contradictions, the modern reflex of our elite is rarely to engage in critical thinking. Instead, it is to retreat into a defensive, self-righteous insulation.

Leaders entrench themselves behind boilerplate statements and tactical retractions, hoping to survive the immediate news cycle by staying on the rehearsed message and then fleeing back to the safety of the elite bubble.

Rarely is this institutional pattern more vividly illustrated than in a single, striking photograph from Lambeth Palace that was recently released. The image caught Archbishop Sarah Mullally presenting a Lambeth Award to Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi, the chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council. Standing just three feet away was Ashrafi’s wife, wrapped tightly from head to wrist, with only her eyes visible to the assembled crowd.

The subsequent public backlash followed a predictable contemporary script. When it emerged that Ashrafi had a documented history of praising militant figures, Lambeth Palace scrambled to rescind the honour, issuing a defensive statement citing the cleric’s “past comments”. Yet, in characteristic fashion, the Church establishment said absolutely nothing about the underlying theological implications or the profound asymmetry of the ceremony itself. They treated a civilisational capitulation as a mere administrative oversight. In keeping with the prevailing institutional group-think, the Archbishop has avoided placing herself in front of television cameras or taking live, unscripted questions from journalists. It is the familiar playbook: Go woke, get caught, fake regret, lie low.

It is easy to condemn Dame Sarah for this display of moral incoherence, to treat her as an isolated offender and demand her immediate resignation. I confess that was my first, impulsive reaction. But such a demand misses a fundamental truth: Dame Sarah is, above all, a product of her time. The prevailing norm across Britain’s leadership class, indeed across the elite institutions of the wider West, is one of institutional appeasement, historical atonement and systematic abasement.

For decades, Western elites have insisted on a rapid transition toward absolute multiculturalism, operating on the unexamined hope that diversity would somehow, against all historical odds, work out so long as they kept insisting it would. A core tenet of the modern establishment is that all cultural frameworks are equally good or equally bad. Dame Sarah, as the most senior cleric of the established Church of England, should know better.

What do the sacred texts and classical commentaries of Islam actually say about why a woman is veiled, and what obligations are placed upon the man? The classical Sunni tradition, constructed through the authoritative Koranic commentaries (tafsir) of Al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir, alongside the philosophical treatises of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Taymiyya, establishes a synchronised social architecture built around four clear rationales for the mandatory veiling of women:

Modesty (Iffah): Rooted in Sura Nur (24:31), women are instructed to guard their private parts and draw their head-coverings over their bosoms, treating the female body as a locus of inherent vulnerability that must be shielded from the male eye.

Obedience (Ta’ah): Derived from Sura Ahzab, classical jurists systematically transformed a localised rule originally meant for the household of the Prophet into a universal mandate of female seclusion and spatial partitioning.

Social distinction (Tamyiz): Sura Ahzab (33:59) commands women to draw their cloaks tightly “so that they may be recognised and not molested”. In his authoritative commentary, Ibn Kathir explicitly says that this covering distinguishes the “free” woman from slave-girls and the women of the Jahiliyya (the pre-Islamic era of ignorance), “so that it will be known that they are free, and that they are not servants or whores”.

The prevention of temptation (Fitna): The underlying assumption is that the mere sight of an uncovered woman triggers an uncontrollable sexual temptation in the male, requiring the door of public female interaction to be closed because the man cannot be trusted to draw the moral line himself. A failure to regulate male sexual impulses is viewed as a threat to social cohesion and communal order.

Crucially, this system imposes a parallel set of commandments that men must follow. They must lower their gaze and continuously police their external environments to avoid visual temptation. When this synchronised system of norms is translated into live practice, it inevitably produces an externalised model of social management. By making the woman’s physical covering and spatial isolation the primary guarantor of social order, the responsibility for male purity is offloaded on to the female body. Men are treated as predatory, reactive actors stripped of internal moral agency, driven entirely by external visual triggers. Women, conversely, are reduced to guarded commodities whose basic human freedom of movement and public visibility must be permanently sacrificed to maintain social stability. “Free” they most certainly are not.

Dame Sarah should also be aware of the concrete consequences of these norms for women in the countries where Shariah is the law of the land. Where this externalised policing system runs as the dominant legal framework, it divides women into three distinct categories:

The Elevated Woman: The upper-class wife, safely veiled and secluded within the domestic sphere, protected by her family’s social status but legally subordinate under strict male guardianship laws.

The Servant Girl: See, for example, the millions of vulnerable foreign domestic workers migrating from Southeast Asia and Africa under the structural restrictions of the kafala (sponsorship) system. Deprived of basic legal protections and isolated inside private residences, these women are routinely exposed to severe exploitation, wage withholding and physical abuse.

The Loose Woman or Whore: The label applied to any woman outside these structural boundaries, rendering her a legitimate object of public harassment.

According to a landmark UN Women’s survey, 99.3 per cent of Egyptian women reported having been sexually harassed, demonstrating that external concealment does not guarantee public safety, but instead treats female visibility as a provocation that legitimises abuse. Across major metropolitan transit networks, such as the metros of Dubai, Riyadh, Cairo, and Tehran, authorities run dedicated women-and-children carriages. Public space is literally partitioned, structurally redesigned around the inability of the system to guarantee public safety through internal self-restraint.

Finally, the Archbishop of Canterbury must by now be aware of the impact on women in Britain and the rest of the West of the influx into our societies of millions of men raised to view women in these ways.

In the United Kingdom, the independent Jay Report found that at least 1,400 children had been sexually abused in Rotherham alone, noting that authorities were slow to intervene from an institutional fear of stoking community tensions. Rape-gang perpetrators were disproportionately of Pakistani and South Asian background – “overwhelmingly so” according to Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary.

More recently, Baroness Casey’s national audit of group-based child sexual exploitation and abuse presented clear evidence of over-representation among suspects of Asian and Pakistani-heritage men in the data compiled by multiple British police forces. Data from the Government’s Forced Marriage Unit recorded hundreds of cases where honour-based coercion was used to enforce parallel cultural frameworks within isolated communities.

What is to be done? In continental Europe, nations including France, Belgium, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands have all enacted legislation forbidding the concealment of the face in public. Yet such measures treat the veil merely as a functional security loophole rather than a deep manifestation of an asymmetric social theology. By reducing a profound civilisational difference to a routine policing measure, secular states miss the opportunity to defend the positive, foundational virtues of an open society – namely, the internal moral governance of the individual and the mutual public accountability between men and women.

This is precisely where religious leaders are called to step forward. Instead of pressing on with the one-way accommodation of militant Islam, Dame Sarah could use her platform to defend the core moral genius of the theological tradition of which she is supposed to be the custodian.

In the Christian framework, the ethical responsibility for sexual purity and social order is placed squarely on the individual conscience. Moral rectitude is defined as an internal victory of self-control, exercised within a society of shared public freedom. Christianity presumes that, though sinful, men are morally accountable beings fully capable of respecting the bodily autonomy of women, regardless of how those women are dressed or where they walk. This approach builds a culture of reciprocal respect: men are commanded to honour women as fellow image-bearers of God, and women are empowered to occupy public spaces uncovered, without their human dignity being diminished. The Christian model is in this and many other respects quite different from a system of spatial partitioning and external enforcement.

As Bonhoeffer pointed out later in After Ten Years, structural stupidity is not a permanent congenital defect, but a particular psychological impact of historical circumstances. Because it is an induced state of group-think rather than an absence of intellect, it can be broken. But “only an act of liberation, not instruction, can overcome it”, Bonhoeffer wrote.

True liberation of our institutions begins the moment a leader finds the moral courage to step outside the consensus, replace passive appeasement with courageous defence and confidently assert the ethical superiority of the Christian inheritance.

Khan accused of calling victims of crime liars - "Sir Sadiq Khan has been accused of calling victims of London crime liars.  The mayor of London said the city had been subjected to a “relentless and unprecedented attack of lies and hatred” on social media, describing online disinformation as a “global scourge”.  A host of celebrities have spoken out about their fears of rising theft in the capital in recent years. There were nearly 100,000 thefts or attempted thefts in the capital last year, compared with around 45,000 in 2019, according to Home Office data.  However, Sir Sadiq blamed social media “misinformation” for putting off tourists. Laila Cunningham, Reform UK’s candidate for London mayor, responded: “If the Mayor of London wants to encourage more tourism, he should deal with the crime he has allowed to spiral out of control instead of suggesting that victims of crime are liars.”  Announcing a £7m campaign to showcase London to the world and tackle online “disinformation”, Sir Sadiq added: “We are facing a relentless and unprecedented attack of lies and hatred from those wanting to damage our capital’s standing and our hugely important tourism industry... Susan Hall, the leader of the City Hall Conservatives, said that Sir Sadiq “should spend more time trying to fix things as opposed to saying ‘la la la la la, I’m not listening, everything’s fine’.”... Melissa Odabash said this week she is too scared to wear jewellery in public in London after several close calls with thieves on bicycles.  “They’ve tried – they’ve flown past me. I’ve now got straps on my phone, and I don’t wear jewellery,” said the 56-year-old.  The designer, who lives in central London with her husband and two daughters, said she was so angered by a surge in crime under Sir Sadiq that she had considered standing against him in the next mayoral election in 2028.  “I should be Mayor of London. This is the best city in the world, but there are things we need to change. It offers everything – pubs, installations, art, museums, culture,” she said. “But thieves on bikes are scary. We need to make London great again.”...  Rochelle Humes, the singer and television presenter, said it was “too scary” to wear a Rolex in London amid the soaring rates of theft in the capital."

Capital getting more dangerous, say Londoners - "Londoners have said they feel increasingly unsafe in the city, in a blow to Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London.  In a London School of Economics survey, 2,022 adults were asked whether living in the capital had become more or less safe generally. Some 54 per cent of respondents, made up of 61 per cent of women and 46 per cent of men, said they felt less safe than previously... Around 5,180 luxury watches, each worth more than £3,000, were stolen in London between January 2022 and July 2025, of which only 59 were recovered, according to Metropolitan Police data released under a freedom of information request.  There were nearly 100,000 thefts or attempted thefts in the capital in 2025, compared with about 45,000 in 2019, Home Office data showed."

This stuff happens every single day.  All of those videos we saw over the last week of rioters climbing on police cars and destroying property should have ended up with mass arrests. They didn't.  Progressives have decided that public order crimes simply don't matter anymore, and have ordered the NYPD to remain as hands-off as possible in most of these situations. That means minor interventions at most, and no arrests unless absolutely necessary.  And of course this has the added benefit of artificially lowering crime stats -- if you don't take a report or make an arrest, there's no crime. Which allows the progressive leadership to claim 'crime is down' even though everyone with two eyes knows things are NOT getting better here.  They credulously brag about how only a handful of arrests were made during the Knicks riots over the last week. Reality is the NYPD probably could have (and should have) made 1000+ arrests. But they're not allowed to do that anymore.  So no, crime is generally not 'down' here in NYC in any meaningful way. Crime stats are down. Arrests are down. The NYPD's authority is down.   But crime most certainly is NOT down."

Cassie Pritchard on X - "One rhetorical move I dislike from police/prison abolitionists is that they’ll establish examples where *marginal investment in policing/prisons* did not yield a corresponding *marginal increase in safety*, and then argue from this “therefore going to ZERO policing and prisons will have no effect on safety.”   I think this is absurd, because there are absolutely threshold effects for incentives (or, in the case of punishment, disincentives). You could probably cut police budget/headcount by large margins in many (most?) cities without seeing a meaningful rise in crime. But going to *zero* would obviously have a very different effect—there’s usually a gigantic threshold effect whenever you move from zero to *any* degree of incentive/disincentive.   I don’t know if abolitionists are generally sincere in believing there are no threshold effects along the spectrum of punishment, or if they’re just eliding this as a rhetorical strategy, but it does bug me either way."

Man free to sexually assault children, rules Alberta's top court | National Post - "Alberta’s top court ruled that a deaf man who never learned to communicate can’t be tried for sex crimes, or even assessed for mental fitness to stand trial, because it would violate his Charter rights. This means the man is functionally exempt from the Criminal Code, and is thus free to rape and even murder if he so wishes.  At very least, the average Albertan isn’t likely to run into Kendall Longclaws. He grew up on an isolated farm with seven siblings and continues to live there, in his 30s, with his parents. He doesn’t leave the property without them. He’s deaf. He can’t read, understand a calendar, or use a phone. The only word he can speak is “brother”; he can also write his name, play video games, and use grunts and rudimentary gestures that relate to his daily life, like “yes,” “sorry,” and riding horses. Beyond that, his family never taught him how to communicate. Brief attempts at school and tutoring when he was a child went nowhere. He knows what “mom” means, but he lacks the ability to understand society’s institutions, including courts and justice. So, when Longclaws was charged with eight sexual offences against three complainants in 2021, he had no idea what was going on... Yungwirth’s ruling was perhaps the most absurd thing to come out of a Canadian court that year. She gave Longclaws a total exemption from criminal liability while also completely ruling out the possibility of removing him from society. She judged him as if he were an escaped gorilla enabled by unwatchful keepers, not a man; a beast outside the jurisdiction of human laws... Now that he’s inspired our judges to create a completely unaccountable class of adults in society, prepare for more defence lawyers to seek this excuse for their linguistically challenged clients — in Alberta and beyond."

The Government has refused to answer even basic questions, such as how many criminals will be released, or how many of them are sex offenders. The former prisons minister Lord Timpson said it was “impossible for us to say exactly who will be released, where and when”. When we crunched the numbers ourselves, we worked out that 2,500 rapists and paedophiles alone are eligible.  The victims’ commissioner and the domestic abuse commissioner have both warned that the Government has failed to put in place key safeguards to keep victims safe. A hotline for victims that was promised months ago is still not operational.   From the limited information released by the Government, following our pressure, we know 8,700 victims have been warned that the perpetrators of crimes against them might be released...

Rethinking Mass Incarceration - The Atlantic - "Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Starting in the 1970s, U.S. policymakers embraced draconian criminal-justice policies as part of the war on drugs. Tough-on-crime politicians rose to power by pledging longer mandatory-minimum sentences and more intense policing practices. The American legal system became the primary tool for addressing the nation’s social ills. And as incarceration grew rapidly in the following decades, so, too, did the coffers of an emerging prison-industrial complex. That’s what John Pfaff, a law professor at Fordham University in New York, calls the “standard story” of mass incarceration. But in his new book Locked In, Pfaff offers a different account of the phenomenon’s origins. Instead of the war on drugs, he points to violent crime as the key factor that fueled America’s exceptional incarceration rate. Public-employee unions and rural politicians, not just the private-prison industry, trumpeted the boost in jobs and help to small-town economies that large penitentiaries can provide. And prosecutors, not judges or legislators, made the crucial decisions that gave the United States the world’s largest population behind bars...

Non-citizen violent offender Medhani Yohans breaches again in Guelph | Toronto Sun - "Within hours of high-risk offender Medhani Yohans being sprung from the Maplehurst Correctional Complex, he was back behind bars.  The violent 37-year-old courthouse frequent flier allegedly breached the primo condition on his release: Stay out of downtown Guelph... Yohans is not a Canadian citizen, struggles with the language, has a lengthy criminal record, and “major mental illness.” A Canada Border Services Agency source told the Sun he was smuggled into Canada via Europe.  And, there is a deportation order for Yohans. “There is more than enough blame to go around on this guy,” the CBSA source told the Sun.  “First, he originally came here as a sponsored refugee from Eritrea. So even though there is a Deportation Order against him, he can’t be removed because he’s a ‘Protected Person.’ The only thing that overrides that is a ‘Danger Opinion.’  “We tried getting one and … surprise, surprise … were shot down by headquarters. Apparently, his sexual assault convictions aren’t enough to label him a Danger.”  Yohans has been in and out of the slammer since at least 2023. He had been initially ordered to stay away from certain addresses. He violated those orders multiple times.  And there are other matters: He has a history of violence that includes two sexual assaults involving strangers... Yohans has become the poster boy for revolving door justice and doesn’t appear bothered about breaching bail or probation. The Eritrean refugee has done it countless times with little apparent impact and no sign of him being booted from the country."

I wasn’t convinced he actually had a knife, but I wasn’t taking any chances... Ready to share my information and photographs, I returned to the police to give them an update and also report the threat to stab me. I have a great deal of respect for the police – I count current officers among my friends and the majority I’ve met are good, hard-working people. They have one of the toughest jobs out there, and there is little thanks for what they do.  But the response demonstrated that traditional policing has pretty much died. Instead of doing some digging and setting up a very simple sting (I managed it, after all), the police told me it was too hard to catch a thief unless he told them who he was. I shouldn’t raise my hopes, I was told. Even if I had a photograph of the thief’s face – which I did – there was little hope of catching him unless he had tattooed his own name on his forehead. The man may have been a crackhead but he was not that stupid.  When I called to check on the force’s progress again, I was told the case had been passed to my local team and an officer might look at it. They said they would let me know whether an investigation was launched. They never replied to me. Naively, I had assumed that the thief’s threat to stab me might have piqued their interest, but apparently not. After another month of silence, I rang again. I was told the case had still not been allocated to an officer. The call handler added “this is a low priority,” although he admitted: “I don’t know why it has taken so long.”  After that, I heard nothing, until, that is, the Metropolitan Police Service found out I was writing this article in the past few days. Suddenly, an officer was appointed to the case and, for the first time, I was asked to hand over my photographs. She apologised for the delay and, after reviewing the facts, told me: “You’ve done the hard work for us.” Well, when the police don’t bother trying to catch criminals in the first place, is it such a surprise?... I still like to think police officers spend the majority of their time doing useful work. But my experience makes you wonder what exactly police chiefs are asking their staff to do.  So maybe the fool isn’t the crook. Maybe it’s me, for still having faith in the existence of a decent Metropolitan Police Service. After all, the facts seem overwhelmingly to suggest otherwise."
Time to increase the policing of hate crimes and hate speech, especially online

Ontario man who sexually assaulted 12-year-old sister avoids jail | National Post - "An Ontario judge has sentenced a man to house arrest for sexually assaulting his biological sister, ruling that the mandatory minimum five-year sentence for incest with someone under 16 is unconstitutional and “grossly disproportionate” for offenders with intellectual disabilities.  The 26-year-old man, identified only as D.C. in the decision from Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice, was charged in 2022 for having sex with his sister for four years starting when she was 12 years old. Although he’s an adult, a defence expert testified that D.C. has an intellectual disability such that his cognitive age equivalency would be nine to 12 years old.  “Five years in a penitentiary is a tough sentence in any circumstances, and even more so for a first-time offender. When a developmental disability is added to that mix, in my view it becomes cruel and unusual,” Justice Anne Molloy wrote in a recent decision. The judge convicted D.C. on two counts of incest and one charge of sexual assault.  She handed him a conditional sentence of two years less a day and three years of probation.  It’s “extremely rare” for judges to bypass mandatory minimums, said Wayne MacKay, a professor emeritus at Dalhousie University’s Schulich School of Law.  “The gap between a five-year minimum and house arrest is so large that that’s kind of striking,” MacKay said in a recent interview.  It could make the case ripe for appeal, he said...  In May 2022, D.C.’s sister, who also has intellectual disabilities, told her high school guidance counsellor “that her brother had been sexually assaulting her for years”...  While D.C. may function as an adult (he graduated high school, got his driver’s licence, is employed in a warehouse and does not receive government assistance), “his intellectual skills, including his capacity for moral reasoning, are substantially below the level of an adult,” Molloy said. “Because of his disability, he falls squarely within the concept of ‘diminished moral blameworthiness.’”... During his conditional sentence, D.C., who drives a forklift for work, must live with his grandmother.  He’ll be on house arrest for the first year and will be allowed to attend work and approved appointments, then a curfew for the second."
Looks like mandatory minimums aren't mandatory after all
Seems we need to let 12 year olds drive and drive forklifts

Why Women Need a Husband

A woman goes to a psychiatrist and complains:

 

“I don't want to marry. I am educated, independent, and self-sufficient. I don't need a husband.

But my parents are asking me to marry. What do I do?"

 

The psychiatrist replied:

 

“You, undoubtedly will achieve great things in life. 

 

But sometimes inevitably will not go the way you want. 

 

Some things will go wrong. 

Sometimes you will fail. 

Sometimes your plans won't work. 

Sometimes your wishes will not be fulfilled.

 

Then who will you blame?

 

Will you blame yourself?"

 

Woman: “NO!!!”

 

Psychiatrist: “Yes... That's why you need a Husband”

Adam Mossoff on X - "Always remember that "antizionism" was coined by the Soviet Union to rebrand its vile antisemitism in both its domestic and international policies. In America, the "zio" slur was popularized by David Duke, the Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan from 1974-1980, as a way to express his Jew hatred while denying that he was antisemitic, claiming he is just "antizionist."  So it's unsurprising that the woke left and woke right have fully embraced both these terms, and they have even become commonplace among some mainstream Democrats. They are both expressions of political collectivism and vile collectivist bigotry. For the Democrats, they are truly returning to their roots as the party of racism and the KKK."

Rawan Osman | Facebook - "I posted a picture of a hummus brand named after Jerusalem, spotted at a supermarket in Sydney. As usual, the comments filled up with people accusing the Jews of "stealing" hummus from the Palestinians. So here's a question for those who hate me because I stand with the Jews: Are you saying the Jews stole their diet from the locals, or their recipes from the Arabs? Either way, before you comment on my posts and broadcast your ignorance, do this first: look up Sahih al-Bukhari 5686. Then come back and explain to me why those sick men were advised by the Prophet Muhammad to drink camel milk and camel urine. Hint: the Arabian Peninsula was mostly desert. Hummus literally means "chickpeas" in Arabic. Did the Jews learn to eat chickpeas from the Arabs? Google says: Chickpeas are among the oldest domesticated foods in human history, first cultivated around 10,000–11,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent — especially present-day southeastern Turkey and northern Syria. They were part of the first agricultural revolution, alongside wheat, barley, and lentils. From there they spread across the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and eventually to India, where they became a staple. The Greeks and Romans ate them too — the Latin *cicer* gave rise to several European names for the chickpea. In Arabic, chickpea is *ḥummuṣ* (حمص); the dish we call hummus is more precisely *ḥummuṣ bi-taḥīna* — chickpeas with tahini. So long before Islam existed (and Islam is 1,400 years old) my ancestors in the so-called Middle East were already eating chickpeas. In the Levant, the Fertile Crescent, and Mesopotamia — where the alphabet and the wheel were literally invented — agriculture provided this staple food for millennia. Hummus is not Palestinian. There are modern Palestinian recipes. Lebanese. Turkish. Israeli. Iraqi. Syrian. And within each of these countries, geography adds even more variation, from Mount Lebanon to Aleppo, Izmir to Akko, Mosul to Baghdad to Adana. What's called "Israeli" today is a basket of flavors gathered from around the world, including the Mediterranean tradition. And need I remind you that over 850,000 Jews were uprooted from Arab countries? You don't get to forbid them from eating the food of their own ancestors too. Before making silly comments, go look up Jewish history in what is now Iraq or Syria. Jewish communities lived in our region long before the Arabs ever conquered it."
Clearly, this is just anti-Zionism

Tamas Vajda | Facebook - "Israel is discussed endlessly as an abstraction, usually by people with something to gain from presenting the ugliest possible version of it. Yet when Israelis cross an ocean to search for strangers beneath the rubble, the same political world becomes strangely quiet. Rescue work begins in silence. Apparently, so does the coverage. Four days after a magnitude 7.4 earthquake devastated western Colombia, rescue crews in Cali were still calling for silence around collapsed buildings.  Engines stopped, voices fell quiet and everyone listened for the faintest sign of life beneath the concrete. By then, at least 287 people were dead, nearly 4,000 injured and around 400 still missing. Israel offered help on the day the earthquake struck. By Friday, its 80-member Brit Re’im, or “Covenant of Friends”, delegation had arrived from Nevatim Airbase, bringing Home Front Command rescuers, engineers and emergency specialists. Their task: find survivors and reach them before time runs out. These are among Israel’s finest emergency units. The country’s field hospital was the first to receive the WHO’s highest Type 3 classification. Much of that expertise was developed rescuing Israeli civilians from buildings struck by enemy missiles.  It is now being used to save Colombians. Colombia’s new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, is openly friendly towards Israel and requested the assistance. Yet he entered office only three days before the earthquake, replacing Gustavo Petro, who had turned hostility towards Israel into his political trademark. After the 7 October massacre, Petro repeatedly reached for Nazi analogies instead of squarely confronting Hamas’s atrocities. His government joined the legal campaign against Israel, halted coal exports and severed diplomatic relations. Israel is now helping the people of a country whose government was demonising it until the previous week. A Colombian child beneath the rubble is not Gustavo Petro and bears no responsibility for his rhetoric. Meanwhile, a thriving political and financial industry continues to sell Israel as the world’s resident villain. Politicians buy applause, regimes distract from their failures, campaign groups collect donations and media platforms harvest outrage.  Israel often struggles to explain itself effectively abroad. But when Colombia asked for help, it responded with action, sending rescuers rather than launching another public-relations campaign.  Nor is this an exception. Over the past twenty years, Israeli teams have operated after the earthquakes in Haiti, Nepal, Mexico, Albania, Turkey, Thailand and Venezuela; the Japanese tsunami; Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines; the Brumadinho dam collapse in Brazil; hurricanes in Honduras; the Equatorial Guinea explosions and the Surfside disaster. Israel also sent 50 tons of aid to Colombia after the catastrophic floods of 2010. Many of those governments were friendly, but the real test came when Israel helped countries whose governments were not. In 2011, Israel sent emergency housing to Turkey only weeks after Ankara expelled its ambassador. In 2023, despite Erdogan’s long record of anti-Israel incitement, 450 Israeli doctors, nurses and rescuers arrived with more than 150 tons of equipment. They pulled 19 people alive from the ruins and treated hundreds more. Under Operation Good Neighbor, Israel provided medical care and supplies to thousands of Syrians living under an enemy regime. Only weeks ago, an Israeli delegation spent three weeks in Venezuela, which had broken relations with Israel in 2009 and spent years among its loudest enemies. The Israelis assessed damaged buildings and helped prepare a national reconstruction plan. Venezuela’s acting president asked them to extend their stay, then publicly thanked them. These rescue missions do not settle every argument about Israel. But reveal how much inconvenient evidence must be ignored to preserve the familiar caricature. Governments can break relations, suspend trade and spend years trading accusations. None of that changes the value of a life beneath the rubble."

Liza Rosen on X - "This viral footage perfectly explains why Israel maintains such strict security checks, security fences, checkpoints and walls at its borders.  The Muslim terrorist is Fatma Amarna, a Palestinian Muslim woman in her 40s. She illegally infiltrated Israel from Jenin, reached the Old City of Jerusalem with a knife under her full Islamic veil, and according to her own interrogation, wanted to sacrifice her soul for Allah by carrying out jihad against non-Muslims — hoping to reach paradise through her death.  The Israeli police officer reacted instantly. He used his body to push the terrorist to the ground and neutralized her with physical force. He deliberately chose not to shoot her with his weapon because he feared that innocent bystanders in the area could be harmed.  This is the daily reality Israel faces: Muslim terrorists who see the murder of others as a holy act of worship to Allah. Without the security barriers, thousands more innocent Israelis would be slaughtered in the streets. The world loves to condemn Israel’s security measures as “apartheid” or “oppression.”  The truth is simple: Israel builds walls and fences because the other side keeps sending terrorists who want to kill people as human sacrifices for the sake of Allah.  Share this video. The world must see the constant threat Israel lives with — and the incredible restraint its security forces show every single day."

The antisemitism report that erases a century of Jewish debate - The Globe and Mail - "Jews have never agreed about how to be Jewish. Yet these disagreements are increasingly treated as evidence of hatred.  Last week, the federal government released the Campus Antisemitism and Student Experiences (CASE) report... The report treats opposition to Zionism as evidence of antisemitism... The report defines “anti-Zionism” as a movement that calls for the “erasure” or “annihilation” of Israel. This is incorrect, and it attempts to turn a legitimate political position into a synonym for hatred before a single survey question is even asked.  Anti-Zionism is a 100-year-old, well-documented current of Jewish thought that has never called for erasing or annihilating anyone"
Campus Antisemitism and Student Experiences (CASE) - Canada.ca - "Antisemitism: This report uses the IHRA’s working definition of antisemitism including its illustrative examples, which was adopted by the Government of Canada in 2019:
Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred towards Jews, the rhetorical and physical manifestations of which are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities...
Antizionism: Antizionism refers to a movement that calls for the erasure of Israel and denies the Jewish people the right to self-determination in part of their ancestral homeland."
Why would left wingers lie about something so easily disproven? Actually, we know why.
Clearly, we should ignore what antizionism means today and pretend it's a 100 year old tradition

China ‘funding pro-Palestine marches in UK’ - "US politicians investigating alleged secret Chinese backing of Code Pink, a far-Left feminist protest group established in the US, are examining its activities in Britain as part of an inquiry into foreign interference.  Code Pink has organised protests in the UK against Britain’s involvement in “the genocide in Gaza”, encouraged its activists to demonstrate outside RAF bases, and issued statements claiming that Britain’s leaders have been “bought by Zionism”.  The investigation comes amid concern that Beijing is seeking to exploit divisive causes in the West to deepen social tensions and wage what critics describe as “political warfare” against its adversaries... the US investigation is examining £250,000 in alleged payments to a company linked to Code Pink in the UK from firms connected to Neville Roy Singham, a tech tycoon accused of financing Chinese propaganda around the world... “The committee is well aware that Singham’s funding is supporting pro-Hamas and pro-communist causes not only in the United States, but also overseas, including in the United Kingdom.”  A congressional source told The Telegraph that investigators were aware of alleged Chinese funding of groups in Britain and that it formed part of their inquiry.  “We are aware that China is funding pro-Hamas and leftists in the UK and the US,” the source said. “That is why we are investigating it and will continue to do so.” Code Pink in the US has received millions of dollars from Mr Singham, who is facing multiple investigations over allegations that his network has produced pro-China propaganda on behalf of the communist regime in Beijing.  A congressional committee has claimed that Code Pink – which was founded by Jodie Evans, Mr Singham’s wife – appeared to have been “funded and influenced by Mr Singham and the communist Chinese government”... a UK company with links to Code Pink received more than $250,000 (£190,000) from organisations alleged to be part of Mr Singham’s network in 2020 and 2021.  In 2024, the company received a further $94,950 (£70,000) from the People’s Support Foundation, another organisation suspected of being in Mr Singham’s network, for “consulting services”.  Code Pink encourages activists to join mass pro-Palestinian marches and has organised demonstrations at the Ministry of Defence and the London office of an arms company. It describes itself as a feminist grassroots organisation working to end warfare and imperialism, and support peace and human rights.  One of the movement’s senior campaign organisers in the UK is Suzie Gilbert, who has been described as its “contact in Britain”.  Her work with the group has included campaigning for peace with Iran, demonstrations calling for the removal of British military bases in Cyprus, and visiting China under the theme that it “is not our enemy”... Campaign supporters have included Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader.  In May last year, the organisation condemned the Government’s support for Israel. Responding to comments by Israeli ministers that the “world won’t stop” their military action in Gaza, Code Pink said: “Our leaders bought by Zionism will certainly not, but the people will.”  The organisation has attracted scrutiny in Washington over its funding and supportive stance towards Beijing.  A US state department official told The Telegraph: “Code Pink agitates against the interests of the United States and our allies alike.  “The far-Left organisation has repeatedly called for the dissolution of Nato as its coffers are filled with cash from a donor network linked to the Chinese Communist Party.  “The United States stands with its allies and will pursue complete transparency for the donor and NGO networks that lobby for the interests of our adversaries.” Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, has also raised concerns about Code Pink with the department of justice.  In an official statement last year, he said: “Evidence suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have been funded and influenced by Mr Singham and the communist Chinese government.”  The ways and means committee has separately accused Mr Singham of “actively fuelling CCP [Chinese Communist Party] propaganda and financing indoctrination efforts abroad by providing hundreds of millions of dollars to groups that mix progressive advocacy with CCP talking points”.  Mr Singham is also being pursued by the department of justice, which has launched a federal grand jury investigation into his links to China... Code Pink also runs a campaign called “China is not our enemy”. Its position on China has changed significantly as its financial links to Mr Singham’s network have grown.  Ms Evans previously criticised Beijing, writing on Twitter in 2015 that: “We demand China stop brutal repression of their women’s human rights defenders.”  The organisation now argues that the US is “heading towards a dangerous confrontation with China” and claims Washington continues to “manipulate the minds of US citizens to support [this] war”. Mr Singham has close links to China. He shares a Shanghai office with a Chinese state-linked company whose goal is to educate foreigners about “the miracles that China has created on the world stage”.   In 2023, he attended a CCP workshop about promoting the party internationally, according to a New York Times investigation.  The scrutiny of his network comes amid broader fears that Beijing is seeking to exploit political divisions inside Western democracies rather than simply promote favourable views of China.  China has previously been accused of using covert social media campaigns to inflame existing tensions in the West.  In 2021, a Cardiff University report found that social media accounts linked to China had spread calls for violence in the run-up to the US Capitol riots.  Researchers said the activity represented a shift from traditional state propaganda towards attempts to amplify divisions and encourage unrest in rival countries... “We know that, during the Cold War, Russia funded sympathetic political movements in the West. If people connected in any way to the Chinese Communist Party are doing the same now, there is a real risk to our democracy that must not be ignored by the authorities.”"
Time to condemn "Zionist" influence!

Charity must not be given to our enemies - "Labour isn’t afraid of being tough on charitable tax breaks when the circumstances suit the party. Last year, the Government dealt a vindictive blow to independent schools by scrapping their mandatory business-rate relief, which remains available to all other charities. Is it prepared to take similarly robust action against charitable organisations found to be promoting extremism?  The FBI has claimed that a British Muslim charity, the Al-Khair Foundation, has been used to bankroll Hamas, the terrorist group responsible for the horrendous attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.  The charity has received at least £9m in taxpayers’ cash in Gift Aid since 2021. The Met is running a wider investigation into potential terrorism funding allegations while the Charity Commission has opened a statutory inquiry. The Al-Khair Foundation has sought to distance itself from its “global director”, Mohammad Yousef Hasna, the man the FBI alleges is responsible.  These allegations raise inevitable questions about why the charity was not investigated sooner, and how much of British donors’ money might have been funnelled to Hamas. But there is a wider issue than any single charity. In recent months, there have been multiple warnings that British charities have been used to promote extremism and anti-Semitism, and several have been alleged to have links with the Iranian regime."
Terrorism supporters are still upset that they can't attack Jews in the street with sledgehammers

Facebook - "Amnesty and Human Rights Watch released separate reports on the death of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil, both reaching essentially the same conclusion: the Israeli strike should be investigated as a war crime. But there was more to the story. Khalil was traveling in a two-vehicle group with two Hezbollah operatives, whom the IDF said were the intended targets of the strike. Then another detail emerged: they had coordinated the release of their reports “for impact.” When NGOs echo one another, media outlets often treat repetition as evidence of confirmation, but it isn't. That's the NGO halo effect: one institution reinforcing another’s authority, even when independent verification is absent."

Dr. Maalouf ‏ on X - "It has been 50 years since this photo was taken. Palestinian terrorists invaded the Lebanese Christian town of Damour and massacred 582 Christian civilians.  It was an apocalypse, said a priest who survived the massacre.   “They were coming in thousands, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad.’  They were slaughtering everyone, men, women and children.”  Men were lined up against the walls of their homes and gunned down.  Women were tortured and gang-raped.  Babies were shot in the back of the head.  Pregnant women had their babies cut out of the womb.  Just one of the many massacres committed against Christians by Palestinians. This is how Muslims became the majority in Lebanon."

Pro-Palestine protesters brandish ayatollah placards outside synagogue - "Police have made 14 arrests after pro-Palestinian protesters waved placards of Iran’s former supreme leader and made “pro-Hamas” hand gestures outside a synagogue in north-west London. Demonstrators gathered outside Edgware United Synagogue on Sunday, claiming that homes in the West Bank were being illegally sold at an event it hosted... Footage from social media showed pro-Palestine protestors holding placards and photographs of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed by a US strike at the start of the war, while others made a hand gesture identified by onlookers as the “Hamas triangle”... It has been claimed that selling property in the West Bank can amount to trading in stolen property as it is an occupied territory.  However, organisers of the synagogue event have denied that any property over the Green Line that separates Israel from the West Bank is up for sale... The Board of Deputies of British Jews said the protesters had been spreading misinformation and claimed the demonstration was being used as “an excuse to harass and intimidate the Jewish community”.  A spokesman said: “We are deeply disturbed at the wholly unjustified protest called for this morning outside a synagogue." “The event organisers have publicly refuted claims that the event is marketing real estate over the Green Line. It is very disappointing that MPs and other public figures have not acknowledged this, and instead inflamed tensions through partial and misleading commentary... Mr Khan said: “I share concerns about the Great Israeli Real Estate Event taking place in our city, which I oppose, and  I’ve discussed this directly with the Met Police.  “I’m informed that any allegations of criminality relating to the potentially unlawful sale of property at the event would be assessed by the Met with a view to investigation.”"

Thoughts and prayers, Canadian style - The Globe and Mail - "There is a moment when tragedy starts to turn to dark farce in a mass shooting in the United States, that moment when a politician utters the phrase “Thoughts and prayers.”  Saying that phrase evokes ersatz empathy, but obviates the need to ask any difficult questions. Questions such as, why did this this shooting happen? What could have been done to prevent it? And what action can government take to help to head off the next attack?  “Thoughts and prayers” is all that needs to be said, or done. There are Canadian equivalents, sadly, used for each fresh act of violence against Canada’s Jewish community. This is not who we are, political leaders intone. Such acts are unacceptable, they say.  Saying those phrases evokes empathy, but also obviates the need to ask any difficult questions. Questions such as, why did this antisemitic attack happen? What could have been done to prevent it? And what action can government take to help to head off the next attack? Those unanswered questions have grown increasingly urgent. From 2014 to 2022, police-reported antisemitic hate crimes rose by 147 per cent, nearly double the increase for religious-motivated hate crimes as a whole, according to Statistics Canada. By 2020, antisemitic hate crimes reported to police accounted for more than half of all such crimes with religion as a motivation.  Then came Hamas’ terror attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and then the Israel-Hamas war. Antisemitic hate crimes soared even more, jumping 82 per cent in 2023. There was a slight decline from those red-alarm levels in 2024 and 2025. But so far, 2026 is seeing an unwelcome rebound: Antisemitic hate crimes rose 20 per cent in the first quarter of 2026 compared with 2025, according to Statscan’s preliminary figures.  Synagogues targeted with arson and gunfire. An elderly Jewish woman stabbed in an Ottawa grocery store. Jewish-owned businesses attacked. That list is a recounting not just of hate, but of official failure.  And that list continues to grow. Two locations of a Jewish-owned restaurant chain in Toronto, Kiva’s Bagel Bakery, were vandalized, one by gunfire, on July 24. Toronto police are investigating those incidents as hate crimes.  Over the weekend, a kosher restaurant in Montreal, Nöam, was gutted by fire. No motivation has been established for that incident, being investigated as an arson. But it would be anything but surprising for that crime to be added to the tally of antisemitic hate. So how to turn back this growing tide of hatred? As we have argued before, that effort has to begin with understanding, and speaking, the truth: Antizionism is fuelling the rise in antisemitism. The rejection of Israel, of its very right to exist, has become the growth medium for the contagion of antisemitism. The test of courage for any political leader is whether they are willing to speak this truth. Prime Minister Mark Carney failed that test in June, even as he tried to provide comfort to the Jewish-Canadian community. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has failed even more spectacularly. In fairness, Ms. Chow has spoken out against anti-Israel protests being staged in the heart of the Jewish-Canadian neighbourhood near Bathurst and Sheppard in north Toronto. And, of course, she has offered her thoughts and prayers, Canadian style, in condemnation of incidents such as the attack on Kiva’s.  But Ms. Chow has, through her actions, shown where her sympathies lie. The mayor refused to attend a flag-raising ceremony for Israel’s national day in May, 2024, saying such an event was “divisive.” She also declined to take part in the annual Walk for Israel in June of this year.  Yet, the mayor had no problem with blurting out “Free Palestine” – the rallying slogan of those antizionist rallies – during the Pride Parade in late June.  The mayor’s office did not respond when asked last week why the flag-raising event was divisive, but reciting the Free Palestine slogan is not a problem. Ms. Chow owes Torontonians, particularly Jewish Torontonians, an explanation."
Left wingers only obsess over "protecting 'minorities'" when it pushes the left wing agenda
One terrorist supporter cope is to claim that these are all Mossad false flags

Carney's antisemitism council fiddles while Jewish businesses burn | National Post - "Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed two months ago to develop a “whole-of-government approach to antisemitism to ensure federal policies, workplaces, public safety programs and community initiatives are aligned in protecting Jewish Canadians and confronting hate.” Carney appointed an advisory council with what he said was a “clear mission” to combat antisemitism.  And what have we heard from the council so far? Crickets. What actions has the council taken? As far as we know, zilch. What results are we seeing? More attacks against Jewish businesses.  While Jewish organizations applauded Carney for setting up a council to address hate and the scourge of rising antisemitism, most could not understand why  he would appoint individuals such as Omar Alghabra to it. Alghabra, a former Liberal MP, was once the president of the Canadian Arab Federation, which, after his tenure, advocated against listing Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations. Hamas and Hezbollah, of course, terrorize Israel and aim to eliminate the Jewish state and all Jews. CLARITy Coalition Canada circulated a petition shortly after the council was announced, asking Carney to reconsider his choices. The prime minister did not heed the advice... “As we have previously noted, this committee has members with no qualifications in issues of antisemitism and members whose prior associations should have disqualified them.” Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow wrote on X that the attacks on Kiva’s were “vile and unacceptable,” and thanked Toronto police for investigating, but most of the replies to her post blamed her for contributing to the antisemitism in Toronto by failing to support the Jewish community. Replies were subsequently disabled on the thread.  “Makes sense,” replied Rebel News founder Ezra Levant. “People would point out that you literally refuse to stand with Toronto’s Jews. You go anywhere with an open bar but you boycott Jewish events. Because you’ve done the math and you realize you need the pro-Hamas vote to win.”  Toronto, sadly, has deteriorated into a cesspool of antisemitism and hate. On Monday, Toronto Sun columnist Warren Kinsella cited statistics showing that there were more antisemitic incidents in Canada than anywhere else in the world last year, and that Toronto is the worst city within Canada.  Conservative MP Roman Baber shared a video on social media of what he called “Islamist thugs outside” a residence for Jewish seniors in Toronto. “It’s not free speech,” Baber said, “it’s harassment & intimidation, the same day two bakeries are attacked.”  Robert Walker of Honest Reporting Canada told me the attacks on the bakeries, if determined to be anti-Jewish hate crimes, “would be the latest in such attempts to harass the Jewish community and would represent an assault on all civilized Canadians.”  But he added: “Rather than shine a light on the real threats facing Canada, including Islamic radicalism and the Iranian regime’s tentacles in Canada, much of the news media has instead fixated on regurgitating pro-Palestinian talking points.”"

“They’re Not Giving Black Women a Voice”: Royce White Calls Out CNN After Network Pulls Plug on Interview - "Former NBA player Royce White, who intends to enter the 2027 WNBA draft and has identified as a trans athlete, claimed CNN canceled their interview with him after his declaration.  During his appearance on Free People Radio in a video published Tuesday, White accused the major network of “not giving black women a voice.” “Set to do an interview with CNN at 5 p.m,” White said. “Central, and around 2–3 o’clock, they messaged me and said, ‘We’re canceling the interview. We have other news.’ There’s the universal excuse, ‘We have other news,’ and I just, for the life of me, I, again, they’re not giving Black women a voice, sometimes identifying as trans Black women a voice on CNN. It just blows my mind. It’s disappointing. It is. It’s a huge disappointment, especially CNN.” Earlier on Friday, former NBA center Enes Freedom announced his intention to enter next year’s draft and said there’s nothing in the league’s guidelines that would prevent him from participating. Just hours later, White made the same announcement in a Fox News interview. In his announcement, he also threatened legal action if the league forbids him from playing.   Enes Freedom and Royce White claim they are fully eligible to enter next year’s draft because the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement doesn’t clearly define what it means by “woman” in its eligibility guidelines. ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith figures that the league has made a big mistake and exposed itself to potential legal consequences.  “How come you didn’t write in your language those born female? How come you didn’t make that clear?” he said on his show. “You can deny them entry, you can refuse to draft them, but you’re going to open yourself up to potential legal action until you clarify what the hell is going on.”"

The WNBA leadership has to show up and 👏🏽 do 👏🏽 the 👏🏽 work. To tell a Black Trans woman she is not a woman or that the Trans experience is a “stunt”, is transphobic, bigoted and racist.

Trans activists' war on Canadian parents funded by the federal government - "Fae Johnstone's Wisdom 2 Action organization has received approximately $1 million in federal grants and handouts since 2018 from multiple federal agencies, including the Public Health Agency and the Canada Summer Jobs program. Johnstone founded Wisdom 2 Action with Lisa Lachance, an NDP MLA in Nova Scotia and her party's LGBTQ2S+ critic.  On the Wisdom 2 Action website, Lachance can be booked for speaking engagements and receives compensation for those appearances and expense reimbursements despite acting as a legislative critic for LGBTQ issues.  Notably, Johnstone's organization has received several thousand dollars in federal funding through the Canada Summer Jobs program, a summer student employment initiative of the federal government which was weaponized against Christian charities. In 2018, the federal government forced applicants to the program to sign an attestation supporting abortion and LGBTQ rights, a move which many Christian non-profits and charities found compromised their religious beliefs.  Liberal MP and Trudeau groomsman Seamus O'Regan recently tweeted support for Johnstone's assessment that Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre "owes queer people some answers" without disclosing the millions in federal funding Johnstone has received to advance Liberal sex activism narratives. Johnstone was recently in Saskatchewan to protest against the Parent's Bill of Rights, a law signed in October 2023 to enshrine parental involvement in matters of sexuality in the classroom.  Johnstone gained international prominence after Hershey's Chocolate embraced him as a part of their Women's Day campaign."

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie launches blistering attack on former student who name-dropped her in book - "Celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie launched an attack on a former student and protégé who she claims stabbed her in the back over comments she made that the young novelist found transphobic.    Adichie said she'd taken fellow Nigerian writer Akwaeke Emezi, who is nonbinary, under her wing after noticing her talent when she joined her writing class in 2015.  The Half of a Yellow Sun author said she and Emezi became friends, and Emezi even credited Adichie and her writing class with her landing her first book deal.  But the pair fell out in 2017 after Adichie gave an interview where she said 'trans women are trans women' - something Emezi took offense to and publicly slammed her former mentor on social media as a transphobe and even went as far as to claim Adichie supported the 'murder' of trans children.  The feud was resurrected again last year when Adichie threw her support behind JK Rowling after she was accused of making transphobic comments - sparking more attacks from Emezi. Yet in private, Emezi was desperately apologetic for insulting Adichie and appeared to be very keen to keep her as an ally, according to emails Adichie shared.   Adichie responded by asking Emezi to remove her name from the bio of her debut novel, and on Tuesday, she slammed Emezi in an essay on her website where she criticized an unnamed former student... Emezi responded to Adichie's essay by taking to Instagram, saying, the essay was meant to 'incite hordes of transphobic nigerians to target me.' "
From 2021

HELEN JOYCE argues the gender self-identification lobby is harming children, women and trans people - "Most people are supportive of 'trans rights' – assuming something similar to same-sex marriage and women's franchise is being demanded.   That trans people be allowed to live full lives, free from discrimination, harassment and violence and to express themselves as they wish.  Such goals are worthy but they are not what mainstream transactivism is about.  What 'trans rights' actually refers to is gender self-identification. This means that others are forced to agree someone is the gender they say they are.   It requires that everyone else accept trans people's subjective beliefs as objective reality.  This is not a human right at all. It is akin to a new state religion, complete with blasphemy laws.  Underlying my objections is a scientific fact: that biological sex has an objective basis...As well as serving the interests of trans people very poorly, the ideological focus of this powerful lobby means it seeks to silence anyone who does not support gender self-identification.   What's more, I fear, its overreach is likely to provoke a backlash that will harm ordinary trans people who simply want safety and social acceptance.  When the public finally realises what is being demanded, the blame may not land with the activists, where it belongs... What finally pushed me to write my book was meeting some of gender-identity ideology's most poignant victims.   They are detransitioners: people who took hormonal and sometimes surgical steps towards transition, only to realise that they had made a catastrophic mistake. They speak of trauma from experimental drugs and surgeries and having been manipulated and deceived by adults.  I have seen them abused and defamed on social media.   Their most obvious wounds are physical: mastectomies; castration; bodies shaped by cross-sex hormones.  But the mental wounds go deeper. They bought into an ideology that is incoherent and constantly shifting and where the slightest deviation is ferociously punished.  They were led to believe that parents who expressed concern about the impact of powerful drugs on developing minds and bodies were hateful bigots and that the only conceivable alternative to transition was suicide.  This new ideology of body-denialism at the heart of gender-identity politics is especially harmful for women, since female bodies make demands in ways that male ones don't.  Female bodies bear almost all the burden of reproduction and ignoring that fact doesn't change it.  Governments, companies and charities now talk of 'people who menstruate', 'pregnant people', 'abortion seekers' and 'birthing parents', where they would once simply have said 'women'.   As such, women are being erased... If the stated reason for such language, to be inclusive of transmen (females who identify as male), were sincere, we would see similar linguistic manoeuvres so as not to exclude transwomen (males who identify as female) when talking about males.  There would be articles and advertising campaigns aimed at testicle-havers, semen-producers and the like.   'Anyone with a prostate' would be told to get it checked. But no such language is used. The inconsistency is flagrant.  It's not just today's world which gender ideology seeks to change – the past is up for review, too.   Any woman who – by force, luck or guile – smashed social stereotypes is at risk of being retroactively transitioned. Boudicca and Joan of Arc are both often described as transmen. So are lesbian icons such as the poet Radclyffe Hall. Fictional characters aren't safe either: George of Enid Blyton's Famous Five books, a girl who hates dresses and long hair, and loves sailing and climbing; Jo of Little Women, who whistles, walks with her hands behind her back and promises her father to be the 'man of the house' while he is away at war, are now said to be trans.  These are not harmless reimaginings. They reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about how men and women are 'supposed' to behave and dress.... Another harm to children concerns safeguarding.  As the belief takes hold that biological sex is overwriteable by self-declared gender identity, institutions are abandoning the protocols which it was hoped would prevent a repeat of child-abuse scandals... The history of institutional child abuse has shown how predators can 'groom' people and organisations to accept behaviour that should have raised red warning flags.  For example, the Paedophile Information Exchange was tolerated by the Labour Party and the civil rights group now called Liberty.  Its followers gained a hearing partly by persuading Leftists that their enemies' enemies were automatically friends – in this case, the enemies were Conservatives and evangelicals who opposed gay activists and paedophiles. That made speaking out about paedophile infiltration on the Left nearly impossible... Of the 125 transgender prisoners in English prisons in late 2017, 60 were transwomen who had committed sexual offences – a share far higher than in the general male prison population, let alone in the female one.  So either transwomen are more likely than other males to be sexual predators, or – more probably – gender self-ID provides sexual predators with a marvellous loop-hole.   Whichever is true, allowing males to self-identify into women's spaces makes women less safe... In 2018, research by Populus, an independent pollster, crowdfunded by British feminists, found that only 15 per cent of British adults agreed that legal sex change should be possible without a doctor's sign-off."

How British Feminist Grass Roots Turned the Tide on Gender - "To understand why it has taken so long for these policies to be rolled back, it is important to consider the outsized influence of websites such as Pink News, which purport to advance mainstream LGBT news and attitudes, but in fact have been co-opted by a highly motivated faction of (mostly male) trans activists. This vocal minority attracted little opposition when transgender anti-discrimination provisions originally were implemented to protect a few thousand British transsexuals (as many then commonly self-described). But things changed when legions of middle-aged men suddenly began insisting that they were women trapped in the wrong bodies (not to mention a massive surge in adolescent girls laying claim to the opposite path). Women who spoke up about this were systematically pushed out of any public square—the same treatment that some are seeking to impose on Rowling. But thankfully, times are changing... even in Scotland, I’ve observed women organizing at the grassroots level to oppose male encroachment on their spaces—the only option we had before Rowling and other mainstream media figures began speaking out openly on our behalf. Ultimately, what motivated us wasn’t ideology, but safety. It should never be a hate crime for a woman to say, “I just don’t want to share a swimming-pool changing room with men.” Yet that was where things were headed. In late 2019, trans activists protested feminist Meghan Murphy’s appearances at libraries in Vancouver and Toronto, where she discussed how all of these issues are affecting the safety of Canadian women. These confrontations became national news in Canada, and Toronto chief librarian Vickery Bowles was lauded for her principled decision to permit Murphy’s event. What is less known is that something similar played out in February 2020, when the Glasgow Women’s Library (GWL) no-platformed a feminist group called For Women Scotland (FWS), whose members wanted to discuss the proposed implementation of self-ID policies. At first, the feminist group was told that the library was cancelling the booking to repair a leaking roof. GWL then denied the group an alternative date on the basis that they were fully booked. Eventually, GWL confirmed publicly that they’d cancelled the booking because FWS’s “values” did not align with those of their institution... Think about that: A “women’s library” tells its supporters that it is refusing to hold an event dedicated to protecting actual women—out of deference to self-identified women whose claim to womanhood is based on filling out a form on a government website. Needless to say, FWS members were appalled. And this is part of a pattern: Whenever women have attempted to meet to discuss the impact of gender ideology-driven public policy on women’s rights, venues are bombarded with tweets, calls, emails, and other forms of pressure from trans activists who claim that giving an audience to the other side of the debate is inherently hateful. Behind the scenes, meanwhile, activists have led a genuinely McCarthy-esque campaign of blacklisting against dissenters.  The Scottish Poetry Library deserves credit as one of the first British institutions to take a stand against this bullying... Asif Khan, director of the Scottish Poetry Library, was pointed in his response when Scottish PEN—a group that ostensibly supports freedom of speech—somehow saw fit to slam the library for its pro-free-speech policy... It is telling that Khan is a man. For their own part, many Scottish women speak seldom, or only on condition of anonymity, about the abuse and attacks they continue to face simply for being critical of gender ideology in a country that has enabled trans activists to set the tone in literary life. As one anonymous signatory to an open letter to the Scottish Poetry Library wrote, “I know that if I speak out publicly at my [publisher], then I risk not having my contract renewed.” Another wrote, “My publishing house is currently all about ‘diversity’ and I know that if I speak out publicly then I risk not having my contract renewed which, being the sole earner in my home… a risk I literally cannot afford.” Other authors describe how their professional and personal lives were disrupted and curtailed by aggressive trans activists. It would be wrong to present these trans activists as working together as a single unit, let alone any kind of unified conspiracy. For the most part, this is nothing but a loose network of privileged millennials leveraging their positions within activism, arts, and academia to censor, ostracise, and, where they think necessary, punish women who oppose the idea that a man can become a woman by an act of self-declaration. Like all extremists, they believe their ruthless tactics put them on the side of angels. Unaccustomed to life on the breadline, they believe that any harm to a woman’s livelihood, relationships, professional networks, health, and security to be justifiable collateral damage in what they see as the great struggle of our time—the fight against transphobia. Eager to please this constituency, certain literary businesses, such as Lighthouse bookshop in Edinburgh, now actually boast about excluding Rowling’s books from their shelves. For its part, London’s Second Shelf bookshop didn’t remove Rowling’s books, but announced that every time someone bought one, they’d make a donation to a lobby group that supports paediatric transitioning. Some activists even fantasize about scrubbing Rowling’s name off the entire Harry Potter universe... The novelists, librarians, and booksellers circling the wagons to shut women up have been insisting for years that they are motivated by nothing but love and tolerance. And for a while, people took them at their word—including many policymakers and legislators. But all cults eventually collapse under the weight of their own dogma once its absurdity is exposed. And thanks to the grass-roots efforts of women on both side of the Atlantic, that is what we now see happening."
From 2020

Survey suggests trans activism turning off many, especially minorities | National Post - "A new government report, which analyzes recent survey data gathered on gender-based issues, has indirectly confirmed that Canadian support for transgender rights is falling, and that immigrants and ethnic minorities are comparatively conservative on these matters. Though unsurprising, these insights deal yet another blow against the myths of “intersectional” progressivism and make a strong case for further ethnicity-based social research...  The SSPPS also asked respondents whether same-sex couples should have the right to adopt children. It not only found high levels of support among Canadians (79.6 per cent for women, 70.8 per cent for men), but that this support, rather than eroding, had actually increased — ever so slightly — by a single percentage point. So it would therefore seem that the backlash against transgender issues has not fully spilled over to LGB adoption rights.  Unfortunately, the report provided only a sliver of the SSPPS’s data, leaving critical gaps that undermine independent analysis. For example, when it comes to same-sex adoption and supporting transgender family members, breakdowns of ethnicity and immigration status were not provided, even though this would have been relevant to Canadians...  the authors were capable of ethnic analysis, but seemed to selectively spotlight only the more positive findings.  The report’s ideological slant makes itself known in other ways, too.  For example, the authors suggest that decreased acceptance of free gender expression was caused by “vocal public discourse which aims to legitimize transphobic perspectives” and provincial policies that “limit the rights of transgender and non-binary people.” The sources cited in support of these claims, of course, are quasi-academic activist papers that demonize Canada’s parental rights movement and warn against “right-wing agendas.”  One would imagine that Statistics Canada’s analysts — who are supposed to be non-partisan —  would be a bit more discreet about their political sympathies.  In any case, it’s clear that more research needs to be done in this area. Not only should the SSPPS data be made easily available to the public, more surveys of this type should be conducted —  because if Canada truly cares about understanding gender-based issues, then it needs to invest in data collection, even if that invites complicated conversations about immigration and ethnic communities."

B.C. nurse's online behaviour leads to $93K fine, sparking censorship claims - "A B.C. nurse was hit with a hefty fine for a pattern of online behaviour, resulting in a wave of online debate around censorship and gender discrimination.  The fine was handed down by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) on Aug. 14.  “A panel of the Discipline Committee (the Panel) of the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) previously found that Ms. Hamm had committed professional misconduct by making discriminatory and derogatory statements towards transgender people across various social media while identifying as a nurse,” BCCNM states in its decision...   A panel awarded the college $93,639 to be paid within two years. Her nursing license was also suspended for a month.  A 115-page disciplinary hearing shares some of the allegations levelled against Hamm.  Referring to the B.C. nurse, the hearing document states, “She does not believe that everyone has a gender identity. She rejects the suggestion that a person’s adherence or non-adherence to stereotypes associated with males and females somehow reflects an internal gender identity or gender soul, referring to it as ‘anti-scientific, metaphysical nonsense.’”  The hearing documents also include the fact that Hamm supported Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and believes the author isn’t transphobic."

Amy Hamm: Father of 'evidence-based medicine' turns his back on science - "Canadian physician Gordon Guyatt coined the term "evidence-based medicine." According to the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame, into which he was inducted in 2016, he is one of our country's "most cited researchers" and "is considered a world authority in the fields of health-related quality of life research, study design, systematic reviews and guideline development."  His work led to the development of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool, which allows researchers to determine the quality of a body of evidence. Guyatt is an impressive man. (Perhaps "was" is now the correct verb to use.) He is not, however, immune to the fear of being taken down by a righteous, anti-science mob of gender activists.  This month, McMaster University, where Guyatt is a professor in research methods and evidence, published a letter about recent "systematic reviews related to gender-affirming care."  According to the university, the letter was written after "members and allies of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities … raised concerns about recent systematic reviews related to gender-affirming care. These concerns centre on the funding source, and specifically on the potential for the research to be misused to harm trans youth and to deny gender-affirming care." Yet the letter, which was signed by Guyatt and four others, is a total abdication of the principles of evidence-based medicine.  The authors acknowledged that "only low certainty evidence exists … regarding the benefits of the gender-affirming care interventions addressed in our systematic reviews."... But Guyatt and his colleagues now say they're worried their findings "will be misused" to " justify denying care such as puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy" to trans youth.  While the university didn't give any details about which "members and allies of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities" complained, the letter appears to be a response to another — a letter to the editor published in the British Medical Journal, in which one angry person accuses the prestigious journal of "enabling anti-gender ideology" by — wait for it — publishing research conducted by the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM), given that the Southern Poverty Law Center accused it (outrageously and without merit) of being "an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group." This is standard stuff from the cancellation mob playbook: attack the person, not the idea, and insist upon guilt by association.  On its website, SEGM describes itself as "free from political, ideological, religious or financial influences," and on a "mission to promote evidence-based care for gender-dysphoric children, adolescents and young adults that prioritizes long-term outcomes, is rooted in ethical principles and is based on fully informed consent."... Guyatt and his colleagues at McMaster not only cut ties with SEGM, they paid an appropriate tithe — using their personal money — to an approved gender activist group... While the western world is making an about-face on the medical scandal that is pediatric gender transition, Canada — thanks to people like Guyatt — remains under the spell of radical gender ideologues whose sole remaining currency is intimidation. Do what we say, or we will ruin your reputation, too.  What Guyatt and his colleagues are essentially saying is this: forget about the low-quality evidence, and instead allow the "autonomy of patients and their advocates" to overrule the science... The argument blatantly ignores the largest ethical issue in pediatric gender-affirming care: that minors are not capable of providing informed consent for this type of treatment, and their advocates (parents, usually) have been woefully misinformed about its benefits.  Parents have been lied to about pediatric gender transitioning being the only thing that can prevent their children from committing suicide. They've been lied to about the safety and permanent side effects of puberty blockers. And anyone with a modicum of reasoning faculties should understand that children and teens are not capable of "choosing" their gender, or deciding if they are OK with never having children."

Trans Green MSP Q Manivannan cannot tell me that rape is a ‘spectrum’ - "Launching impassioned defences of the stigmatised and marginalised is generally going to work out well for Left-wing politicians. And when I say “generally”, it’s hard to imagine how there could ever be a downside. Unless, of course, you’re the trans Green MSP (member of the Scottish Parliament) Q Manivannan, and the poor misunderstood members of society you’ve decided to put in a kind word for – the “little people” in need of our support – are rapists. “There definitely is a demonisation of rape, in the sense of it is a spectrum,” the MSP for Edinburgh and Lothians East mused on the Subjective Space podcast. “As much as I don’t seek to lighten [rape], it is a spectrum: none of which is less or more worse, but it is a spectrum of things that constitute that one homogenised word: rape.” As part of the discussion on caring for people and rehabilitation, the Indian-born anthropologist also said that whereas people often thought of a rapist as a “monster” or a “big burly man”, the truth was that “any individual is capable of rape”. Oh, how I loathe the narrative that all men have a rapist within them; that if, as a man, you manage to go about your life not raping people, it’s really only by happy accident. That when it comes to one of the most heinous crimes in existence, maybe you were just a normal person, having a really bad day?"

Sack transgender Green MSP over rape remarks, say Scottish Tories - "  The Scottish Tories have called on the Greens to remove the whip from a transgender MSP who claimed that rape exists on a “spectrum”.  Meghan Gallacher, the Tory equalities spokesman, described the remarks as appalling and accused Q Manivannan of minimising the seriousness of rape. She is now demanding that Ross Greer and Gillian Mackay, the co-leaders of the Scottish Greens, remove the whip from the Indian-born MSP.  Reem Alsalem, the UN’s special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, also intervened, writing on social media that rape should never be spoken about in terms of it being a spectrum.  Manivannan made the controversial remarks on the Subjective Space podcast in February last year, more than a year before being elected to Holyrood. However, footage has recently resurfaced, showing Manivannan argued that the “demonisation of rape” led to an overly simplistic idea about what kind of people committed the offence.  Manivannan said it existed on a spectrum and was dependent on different contexts, claiming that anyone, including women, could commit the offence.  Feminist campaigners said they were disturbed by the remarks, claiming they showed “ignorance of the trauma and violation of rape”."
Damn transphobia!
Proof that we live in a rape culture which excuses and condones rape

'A cavity is not a vagina': Trans woman refused healthcare in France - "The French doctor admitted he didn't have the training or knowledge to treat trans patients - as experts say there's no need for a trans woman to visit a gynaecologist at all.  "I only treat real women" - that's what French gynaecologist Victor Acharian told a 26-year-old transgender woman he refused to treat in his clinic in the south-west of the country recently...   "I told her that I'm not competent, but I can guide you. I can refer you to services that can take better care of you. But after I said that, things went south," gynaecologist Victor Acharian told Euronews.  "I thought I was being honest when I said it wasn't my speciality. I don't know how to treat them and I don't mind being called ignorant," he added.  "You're transphobic!" the young woman reportedly shouted as she left the consulting room. According to the gynaecologist, the patient began to insult his secretary, reacting violently to the refusal...   "As more and more transgender patients are coming, it is the responsibility of the country's health authorities to be aware of this and to take them into account so that they can deal with this problem," Pernille Ravn, a member of the European Society of Gynaecology and a gynaecologist at Odense University Hospital in Denmark, told Euronews.  "There is no recommendation for a transgender woman to have regular gynaecological check-ups, unless she has a surgical problem related to the operation, because she doesn't have a uterus or a cervix," she added."
Amazing how far this charade has to be pushed.

It is not for local councils to decide the law of the land - "The 17th-century English clergyman Thomas Fuller warned every person in England “be ye never so high, the law is above you”. From the mightiest to the lowliest, this has been a key principle of British justice for centuries. Yet, today, a group of Left-wing London council leaders seems to disagree.  It has been almost 18 months since the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling that sex in equality law refers to biological sex rather than gender identity. As the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) guidance indicates, this means single-sex spaces, such as bathrooms or women’s refuges, are intended only for those of that biological sex. This has brought welcome clarity to a highly contested issue.  But the leaders of Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark and Waltham Forest councils appear to think they can pick and choose which laws they wish to follow. Together they have committed to keeping their services “inclusive”, claiming that the rules were “harmful to the rights of trans people”... Andy Burnham appears to have time to mull over whether disposable barbecues should be banned. What is his position on this? Is he willing to accept Left-wing council leaders riding roughshod over women’s sex-based rights?"
Nobody is above the law - unless that pushes the left wing agenda
