Nor will the women and children be spared:
For Hamas terrorists, torture and murder is not immoral but righteous blood vengeance that restores honor to Palestine. Culturally, the violence is sanctioned as a socially acceptable punishment for enemy occupiers. The blood of enemies washes away dishonor, and proves to the world that Palestinians are not weak victims. This is, in part, why they filmed everything — because they want the world to view them as strong fighters who have reclaimed their honor. Torturing, raping, and killing Israelis elevates them from men ashamed of their status in life into respected ruthless warriors recognized and celebrated by other terrorist groups and antisemitic extremists around the world.

Still, after the brutality of Hamas’ attacks on 10/7, which included the rape and torture of women and children, one might have expected the UN’s agency focused on women’s rights to condemn Hamas for its crimes. UN Women, surely, could oppose using rape as an instrument of war.
Right? RIGHT?!
Yeah, well, no. Or rather, it took nearly two months for the organization to take a stunning and brave stance against raping women hard enough to break their pelvises.
Why is Israel still a part of the UN?
Withdraw today!
Also - oh, burn, Eva Braun!:
OUCH: War-time Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly refuses to answer question from @MariekeWalsh.

And - maybe Hamas can spread its Canadian-given wealth around?:
Hamas’s leadership openly embraces its lavish lifestyle, staying at five-star hotels in Qatar and Turkey and flying internationally on private jets, even as Palestinians in Gaza fight over humanitarian aid in the terrorist-ruled enclave. ...
The cumulative net worth of Hamas’s top leaders abroad—Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal—is estimated at $11 billion, and they do not hide their taste for the high life.For instance, images of Mashaal enthusiastically playing ping-pong or pedaling on a stationary bike at luxurious hotel fitness centers have gone viral on social media since Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre.This prompted Bill Gates, who owns a stake in the Four Seasons hotel in Doha, to confirm publicly that Mashaal was not staying at the property, whose higher-end offerings include sea-view suites at $900 per night.“Hamas’s leadership both inside and outside Gaza steals money from Gazans, who live in bad conditions, to build military infrastructure and for private purposes, including to maintain their expensive lifestyles,” said IDF Maj. Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.But where does the terror group—the second richest in the world—get its $2 billion annual budget from? ...The Palestinian Authority transfers to Gaza approximately 33% of its total annual budget. These funds are theoretically meant to pay the salaries of Fatah officials, as well as for various goods and services for residents of the Strip, such as water, electricity and medical treatment.Since Hamas ousted Fatah from Gaza in a 2007 internecine war, tensions between them have produced several diplomatic conflicts and subsequent failed reconciliation efforts.The P.A., which Israel previously accused of paying the salaries of some Hamas terrorists in the Strip, maintains infrastructure and a certain level of influence inside the enclave through its financial contributions.Hamas also raises hundreds of millions of dollars annually from taxes imposed on goods arriving through the Rafah crossing with Egypt and the Kerem Shalom crossing with Israel, in addition to tariffs on contraband entering the Strip through vast networks of smuggling tunnels.
Wherever could they get such ideas?:
A Harvard/Harris poll conducted on December 13 and 14 found that 67 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 believe that “Jews as a class are oppressors.” While the question posed isn’t worded as well as one would hope for a survey — “Do you think that Jews as a class are oppressors and should be treated as oppressors or is that a false ideology?” should probably be a true/false query instead of the oppressor/false ideology construction — the other age groups appear to have the moral clarity and reading comprehension to understand what’s being asked of them. With ages 18–24 (Gen Z) being a full 23 points more Jew-distrustful than their next closest group, 25–34 (Millennials), one has to wonder how the youngest respondents came to their answers.
Also:
Nearly three in four Palestinians believe that Hamas was right in launching its Oct. 7 cross-border attack, in which terrorists savagely murdered more than 1,200 people in Israel and wounded thousands, according to the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
The Ottawa youth facing five terrorism- and explosive-related charges targeting Jewish people allegedly possessed bomb-making materials, such as chemicals and metal ball bearings, when he was arrested by the RCMP Friday.
A detailed version of the charges against the minor obtained by National Post also suggests he’s accused of communicating with others in Canada and the United States about bomb-making in order to “facilitate a terrorist activity.”The young man, who cannot legally be identified because he is a minor, briefly appeared virtually at the Ottawa courthouse Monday, four days after he was arrested by the RCMP and charged with two terrorism-related offences targeting “Jewish persons.”Three more charges were subsequently laid against him, including two related to explosives, and an additional terrorism charge, bringing the total to five.According to the detailed charge counts, police allegedly discovered “explosive substances” such as acetone, an unidentified oxidizer and metal ball bearings in the young man’s possession on Dec. 15, the day he was arrested.The discovery led to the filing of a third terrorism charge for “knowingly” facilitating a terrorist activity by owning the bomb-making materials, as well as well as a fourth and a fifth charge related to explosives.The youth is alleged to have illegally possessed explosive substances and done so with the intent of endangering life.
"Carleton associate professor Stephanie Carvin also said that the allegations that the youth may have communicated with others in the United States strongly suggests American authorities may have tipped off their Canadian counterparts about his plans." https://t.co/epURKK4JAn

The rise in Islamophobic hate crimes has left many Muslim Canadians feeling unsafe. It is unacceptable.
Islamophobia has no place in Canada—or anywhere. pic.twitter.com/zIpfVQPq62
Do let us know how you feel about children being frightened while trying to visit Santa Claus, Chrystia:
The words are heard early in the video, which was widely shared on social media. A protester is seen pointing toward police officers who are in the mall, and saying: “I’ll put him on the ground.” He adds: “You come near I’ll put you lay down on the floor (sic) … I’ll put you six feet deep.” The camera then swings to take in the police, who look at one another as the man moves on.The protest took place outside a Zara store. Later in the video the man is seen near the police, again saying “I’ll put you six feet deep,” and then adding: “If you’re a man, come touch me.”
**
Annoying the convoy may have been, but their cause was rational, their behaviour was lawful, there was no menace (beyond the frightful scenes at the hot tub). However that protest got prime ministerial denunciation even before it began.
The current rampage of obviously orchestrated and scary (ask any Jewish Canadian) manifestations has so far received not a fraction of the invective Justin Trudeau loosed upon the truckers.
Yet the affair at the Eaton Centre — the “I’ll kill you” soliloquy, which was and was meant to be menacing, which crowded a store shouting Zara supports genocide (as far as I know they didn’t smear it with red paint — maybe Canadian Tire was out of crimson) was clearly outside the range of peaceful normal Canadian protest. But all is still and silence from the PMO. I presume, as no one’s pronouns were offended, or Pride banners defaced, all is well as far as the government is concerned.
The Jewish citizens of Canada are correct in feeling if not abandoned, then certainly receiving far less than the support they should be hearing. Such is the tone and bitterness of the spate of pro-Palestinian, and by direct induction pro-Hamas, demonstrations that some special statement from the prime minister would seem to be his very first duty. I won’t go into the mish-mash of the government’s statements and varying positions on the conflict itself.
But it is dereliction of the highest kind when one segment of the Canadian population is the object of such high-powered animus, and Jewish store owners (Indigo) slandered with the supporting genocide slur, and as I know from speaking to many of them when Jewish citizens are in actual fear in their own country — that the prime minister is not on the national airwaves speaking to them or his support and concern. It is matter for a special address.
(Sidebar: why would anyone even want to hear from him? Why do Canadians rely on the worst sort of people for their moral direction? Can they not manage to be incensed on their own?)
After all, I remind you — he did give a vigorous address before the truckers came to Ottawa, full of condemnation, accustion (racist, misogynist — not to be tolerated).
Surely in a much much better cause he could step out once again. There is a need to denounce the deliberate antisemitism from the highest office.
Finally in this Post sonnet I’d like to know where the current bunch gets the chutzpah to be mauling the Christmas season, going to malls, masked and intimidating, scaring children visiting Santa, and issuing threats for a big Dec. 23 outburst designed to cloud and distemper the one joyful (and fully Christian) holiday of the year.
Apart from the menace, there’s a lot of arrogance and insult wrapped up in these gatherings. They are more than a protest: they are a challenge to the leaders of the country, which so far most of those leaders have been too careful or too timid in response.
I wonder if the masked protester who offered the death threats will get any political and police response, even one-tenth of what has been visited on Tamara Lich.
Not a single damn one of you will cross the floor:
Jewish Liberal MPs yesterday expressed unease with a cabinet decision to vote with Iran and against Israel at the United Nations. Nine of the ten largest Jewish ridings in Parliament are held by Liberals: “If you can’t stand proud and strong with the Jewish community don’t light our damn Hanukkah candles.”
A man remains at large after storming into a Paris nursery and threatening its Jewish director with a six-inch knife and antisemitic death threats.
I don't want to be "that guy" about it but the atrocities seen in Israel on October 7th are called Tuesday in the rest of the world. What Christian, Buddhist or Hindu does not know violence at the hands of an Islamist mob?
Around the world they do over Christ. But this global persecution elicits shockingly little attention or sympathy in Canada because we’re increasingly just not that kind of people.
That's right.
Canadians aren't that kind of people.
They won't even defend themselves.
Also - it's like Idle No More but with more Jew-hating:
Canadian National Railway has lost millions and suffered “irreparable harm” due to anti-Israel protests on its freight lines, say courts in three provinces. Cabinet in 2022 invoked emergency powers against the Freedom Convoy on unsubstantiated fears of identical rail blockades: “Individuals are calling upon others across Canada to join in their efforts and take actions including blockades of CN Railway lines in an effort to impact the economy and specifically companies which they associate with being economically tied to Israel.”
