No Country For Anyone

The October 7th attacks in Israel became a wildfire for the hidden and obvious anti-semites across the globe:

The Oct. 7 massacre was openly celebrated in front of Parliament Hill on Saturday, as part of a massive anti-Israel demonstration that also included a full drum corps calling for “intifada revolution.”

“What we saw on the seventh of October, and what we continue to see every day since is the amazing bravery and resilience and resistance of the Palestinian people to take every step necessary to liberate every Palestinian prisoner from the jails of the Zionist regime,” said speaker Charlotte Kates to cheers from the assembled crowd.

Kates is the co-founder of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, a Canadian-headquartered group that was recently banned in Germany due to its openly pro-Hamas stance, which German legislators denounced as “antisemitic” and “inhuman.”

Since 2022, Kates has also been banned entry into the European Union, due to Samidoun’s close ties with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine — a listed terror group whose members participated in the Oct. 7 massacres. Research by Israel’s Ministry of Strategic Affairs has even called it “likely” that Samidoun is directly funnelling Canadian donations into Gazan terrorism.

Nevertheless, Kates was a featured speaker at the Saturday rally, where she delivered multiple calls praising the “armed resistance” in Gaza. She delivered her speech from a lectern installed in front of the Peace Tower, and was flanked throughout by men whose faces were shrouded by red keffiyehs.

Keffiyeh face-coverings were similarly present on the members of a drum corps that could be seen leading chants of “there is only one solution; Intifada revolution” — an explicit call for Israel’s violent destruction.

 

Aren't the Stasi RCMP going to enforce with great vigor the Emergencies Act, bound to be federalised soon?

The Liberals have given MILLIONS to Hamas under the guise of funding the UNRWA.

Whatever it does for brutalised Israeli women is smoke and mirrors:

Although intentionally documented, the sexual violence has since been denied by Hamas. Many human rights groups — even those with feminist leanings — were either slow to respond, made false equivalencies, or remained silent. It was only after weeks of pressure that Mélanie Joly, Canada’s minister of foreign affairs, finally condemned Hamas, in early December. Human rights organizations whose focus is on the protection of women also remained silent for months. It took the UN eight weeks to put out a statement. And yet, when a report with unsubstantiated accusations of sexual violence levied against Israel was published, Joly and many others commented within hours.
Were they silent about Israeli (Jewish) women because the UN’s women’s groups have aligned themselves with Hamas, whom they view as representing the oppressed? And, if they are the oppressed, they can’t possibly have committed rape?

Does the popular hashtag #MeTooUnlessUrAJew hold true?
Is the rape of women during wartime as inevitable as antisemitism?

 

These women:

There are 19 women missing after Hamas took hostages back into Gaza, 14 of them are believed to still be alive in captivity. There are grim fears about what they are facing. Some of their families, the Israeli government, and others make clear they fear the worst. Evidence suggests it might be.

 

And what do these women get after giving millions to their rapists?

This:

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada is pledging $1 million to support victims of sexual violence by Hamas in Israel during last October’s attacks.

Because election.

Because of course communists would do this:

The Communist Party and other groups are lobbying the Commons to support a motion accusing Jews of war crimes. Activists publicly claimed credit for “tirelessly pressuring” Liberal MP Julie Dzerowicz (Davenport, Ont.), chair of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association, to change her view of the Hamas war: “Julie’s newfound support for an arms embargo is a direct result of our organizing!”

 

Also - naturally, the NDP:

An announcement by Liberal MP Anthony Housefather that he will not back a NDP motion in support of Palestine has led to a war of words between the MP and a high-ranking Palestinian representative.
Mr. Housefather, in a March 10 post on X, said he would “strongly and forcefully oppose” the NDP motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza when Parliament votes on March 18.
If passed, the motion would “reverse 50 years of Canadian foreign policy and unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state thus rewarding Hamas for its pogrom of Oct. 7,” Mr. Housefather said, referring to the date the terrorist group invaded Israel, killing approximately 1,200 people and kidnapping hundreds of its citizens.
His social media post brought a swift response from Mona Abuamara, the chief representative of the Palestinian General Delegation to Canada.
“Unilaterally? As opposed to leaving that decision to the tyrant who has been subjugating the indigenous Palestinian population for decades,” Ms. Abuamara replied in a March 10 post that described Israel as an “oppressor” and “ruthless occupier.”
“International law is not an à la carte menu,” she continued. “Self-determination is an inalienable, non-negotiable, indivisible right. A free Palestine is a non-negotiable right. Israeli occupation MUST go, and Israeli apartheid MUST be dismantled; enough is enough.”

 

Now, about all of that:

The Palestinian people are the Canaanites, the Philistines, the Jabousites, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Aramaeans, the Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Arabs, the Turks, the Crusaders, and the Kurds, who once settled, conquered, occupied or just passed through Palestine.

 

So there's that.

Liberals are bad, disgusting people and it's okay to say that:

When a member of a Fredericton synagogue that had been vandalized wrote to local Liberal MP Jenica Atwin to admonish her for not speaking out about it, she responded weeks later with a long letter about “the atrocities in Palestine” and how dedicated she was to helping Gaza.

“Fredericton’s synagogue was vandalized today.. on holocaust remembrance day!! And you couldn’t be bothered to make a statement. Shame on you,” wrote the constituent on January 27th, the day the Sgoolai Israel Synagogue in Fredericton had been vandalized. In the subject line of the email, the constituent wrote . “I guess you and Justin only represent certain Canadians.” National Post has seen the email exchange and has confirmed its authenticity.

Atwin’s reply came more than a month later, on March 4, and was a 1,500-word email that called for controls on exports to Israel to ensure against “Canadian materials being indirectly used in the slaughter of innocent people.” and for restoring funding to the United Nations Refugee and Works Agency (UNRWA), which has been implicated in terrorism against Israel.
“I want to thank you for your dedication and advocacy for this important issue that speaks to our humanity and in many ways the soul of our nation,” Atwin wrote in her letter, which claims her office has received “upwards of 10,000 emails, phone calls and direct messages” from Canadians supporting Palestinians. “The Government of Canada must do more to end the siege, protect human life and uphold international law,” the MP in the Liberal government wrote.
Atwin’s letter also speaks of “tough conversations” she’s had with colleagues within the Liberal government, her personal appeals to both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly on Gaza, and her support of a pending NDP motion recognizing Palestinian statehood.

 

This person should never have asked the government, especially this one, to fix anything, or even to apologise.

If one has to ask, the battle has already been lost.

 

Also - now, about that body count:

Consider some further anomalies in the data: First, the death count reported on Oct. 29 contradicts the numbers reported on the 28th, insofar as they imply that 26 men came back to life. This can happen because of misattribution or just reporting error. There are a few other days where the numbers of men are reported to be near 0. If these were just reporting errors, then on those days where the death count for men appears to be in error, the women’s count should be typical, at least on average. But it turns out that on the three days when the men’s count is near zero, suggesting an error, the women’s count is high. In fact, the three highest daily women casualty count occurs on those three days.

Taken together, what does this all imply? While the evidence is not dispositive, it is highly suggestive that a process unconnected or loosely connected to reality was used to report the numbers. Most likely, the Hamas ministry settled on a daily total arbitrarily. We know this because the daily totals increase too consistently to be real. Then they assigned about 70% of the total to be women and children, splitting that amount randomly from day to day. Then they in-filled the number of men as set by the predetermined total. This explains all the data observed.

There are other obvious red flags. The Gaza Health Ministry has consistently claimed that about 70% of the casualties are women or children. This total is far higher than the numbers reported in earlier conflicts with Israel. Another red flag, raised by Salo Aizenberg and written about extensively, is that if 70% of the casualties are women and children and 25% of the population is adult male, then either Israel is not successfully eliminating Hamas fighters or adult male casualty counts are extremely low. This by itself strongly suggests that the numbers are at a minimum grossly inaccurate and quite probably outright faked. Finally, on Feb. 15, Hamas admitted to losing 6,000 of its fighters, which represents more than 20% of the total number of casualties reported.

Taken together, Hamas is reporting not only that 70% of casualties are women and children but also that 20% are fighters. This is not possible unless Israel is somehow not killing noncombatant men, or else Hamas is claiming that almost all the men in Gaza are Hamas fighters.

Justin doesn't like confrontation and wants the right to protest stopped when it is against him, even if they are a preferred voters block:

Pro-Palestinian protests that include expressions of hatred or harassing behaviour cross a line, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday.

Trudeau told a press conference in Toronto that he's heard from too many members of Canada's Jewish community who have seen protests at synagogues and community centres and who now feel unsafe.

Nobody can be indifferent to the suffering in the Gaza Strip during the Israel-Hamas war, and Canadians have a right to protest and make their anger heard, he said.

"This loss of civilian lives and the impact on Canadian families and people who are worried about their loved ones is entirely understandable," he said.

 

(Sidebar: like church-burnings, eh, Justin?)

Three-quarters of the Dutch Jewish population – 102,000 people – were killed by the Nazis during the second world war, the highest proportion in western Europe. But, unlike some other countries, the Netherlands has never had a national museum devoted to those horrors.

That changed on Sunday when, eight decades after the second world war and in the presence of the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, the Dutch king opened the country’s first Holocaust museum on the site of an Amsterdam creche and former teaching college where 600 children were smuggled to safety.

Wearing a kippah, the monarch, Willem-Alexander, said: “There is no excuse for not knowing, no room for perspective. Ifs and buts are not appropriate here. Knowing about the Holocaust is not optional. This museum shows us what happened. And not so very long ago.”

Herzog, whose attendance sparked protests amid Israel’s continuing offensive in Gaza, said the museum sent “a clear and powerful statement: remember, remember the horrors born of hatred, antisemitism and racism and never again allow them to flourish.”

“Unfortunately never again is now, right now. Because right now, hatred and antisemitism are flourishing worldwide and we must fight it together,” added the president.

Waving Palestinian flags and banners, protesters in a square close to the museum voiced their anger at his visit, chanting “ceasefire now”. The human rights group Amnesty International, meanwhile, put up detour signs around the museum to direct Herzog to the international court of justice in The Hague.

The little girl was a great grandchild of one of the few Jewish survivors of the Nazi Holocaust of Dutch Jews. To take the Google Translate of the Dutch-language caption on Twitter:

The aggression of the hate mongers was also directed yesterday against the youngest generation of Jews. The great-granddaughter of survivor Rudy Cortissos is being verbally abused. Thank you, Mayor of Amsterdam, for derailing this historic day into one of the darkest for the Jewish Netherlands after the war. #Amsterdam #Holocaustmuseum
