No Country For Anyone

What a baffling thing it is to not only blame the victim but to vilify it for defending itself:



Why are still a part of the United Nations? It makes no sense:

Canada’s temporary suspension of its financing of UNRWA over charges that some of UNRWA’s members participated in the Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel should be made permanent. That UNRWA has created the ideal conditions for murderous terrorist groups to emerge, from Black September, which carried out the gruesome slaughter of Israeli Athletes in the 1972 Munich Olympics, to Hamas, is not a bug in the operating system, but a feature. Anyone who truly cares about charting a path to true peace in the Middle East should have every interest in ensuring UNRWA is dismantled.

 

(Sidebar: this UNRWA.)


 

The NDP is an awful party and should sink into irrelevance:

Canada does not export weaponry to Israel, says a cabinet report. The document was requested by a New Democrat MP who repeatedly claimed Canada is selling armaments to Israel: “We haven’t exported arms to Israel in 30 years.”

 

 

Melanie Joly is not just awful; she's stupid:

Canada may impose sanctions on some Jewish setters in the West Bank and is renewing calls for a two-state solution as the devastating Israel-Hamas war enters its third month, Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said after she arrived in Ukraine on Friday.

“We are working on addressing the issue of extremist settlers in the West Bank through immigration measures and sanctions,” she told The Globe and Mail in an interview. “We are working with the G7 on this.”

She did not offer details on who might be targeted, saying only that the sanctions might come “in the coming weeks.” She added that senior members of Hamas, the Palestinian military and political group that has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007, and who are considered a terrorist organization by Canada, the United States, the European Union and Israel, “may also be sanctioned.”

 

Who is an example of an extremist settler in his own land, Melanie. A five year old?

 

 

Is Israel this awful place? Really?:

Even as Hamas holds 136 Israelis hostage in unspeakable conditions, a close relative of the terrorist group’s leader, Ismail Haniyeh, is receiving life-saving medical care at Beersheva’s Soroka Medical Center.

Haniyeh’s sisters, Israeli citizens, live in the Bedouin town of Tel Sheva in the Negev. His niece gave birth to a premature baby in recent days, who is being treated at Soroka’s neonatal intensive care unit.

“It’s a story that the whole world needs to hear. It’s all the difference between the incomprehensible cruelty of Hamas and the humanity of Israel,” said Channel 13 reporter Almog Boker, who broke the story on Monday.

It isn’t an easy situation for the medical team as they know they’re caring for a family member of Haniyeh, who was one of those responsible for Oct. 7, Boker reported.

However, they also understand that it is their duty to care for him.

 

 

And now, something uplifting:
