Thankfully, the United States has vetoed what could have been a binding and potentially dangerous United Nations resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire to end the two month-old Israel-Hamas war. Sponsored the United Arab Emirates, and supported by the permanent and non-permanent members of the Security Council, yesterday’s motion would have placed enormous international pressure […]
Is it so hard to condemn genocide unequivocally? Shockingly enough, Elizabeth Magill, Claudine Gay and Sally Kornbluth, the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, had various degrees of difficulty responding to that straightforward question with a simple yes or no answer. Ar a congressional hearing in Washington […]
As Hamas barbarians went on a murderous rampage in southern Israel on October 7, they sexually assaulted and mutilated dozens of women. Contrary to Hamas’ lame denials, we know this to be true. It is not a figment of anyone’s imagination. On December 5, U.S. President Joe Biden condemned the “unimaginable cruelty” of Hamas attackers […]
Toronto police raided the homes of eleven pro-Palestinian activists on November 22 and placed them under arrest in connection with “hate-motivated” mischief over $5,000 and “conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.” The target of their despicable attack, which occurred on November 10, was Chapters Indigo, a Jewish-owned bookshop in the heart of the city whose […]
Israelis were shocked by the ease with which Hamas terrorists broke past Israel’s high-tech billion dollar border fence along the Gaza Strip on October 7. They should also have been surprised by a related event — the appearance of antisemitic rhetoric on Chinese social and state media from that date forward. This pernicious phenomenon caught […]
Elon Musk, the owner of the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, is a hard man to pin down. In terms of his scattershot views, he is all over the place. Which begs the question: where does he really stand? On the one hand, Musk endorsed a foul antisemitic conspiracy theory dear to […]
Unless you are like the storied Rip Van Winkle, you know it in your bones that there has been a disquieting upsurge of antisemitism in Canada since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war last month. Wars pitting Israel against its Arab enemies always bring antisemites and their cheerleaders out of the woodwork. The latest conflagration […]
The fallout from Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the fifth and most serious one in fifteen years, has spilled into university campuses in the United States. The discord, splintered with antisemitic shards, has spawned shouting matches, ignited threats of violence between students, and resulted in arrests. The tension coincides with a rising […]
Surprise, surprise! Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of the U.S. Congress, hates Israel with a passion. What else is new on this crazy planet? Yesterday, as the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip escalated, she was censured by the House of Representatives for “promoting false narratives” and “calling for the destruction of the state […]
As they stormed through kibbutzim and towns in southern Israel on that horrendous day on October 7, Hamas terrorists/pogromists and a ragtag assortment of Palestinian civilians kidnapped 242 Israelis and foreigners, dragging them into the depths of the Gaza Strip as hostages. Apart from adults, they grabbed boys, girls and even babies. Never in its […]
