No Country For Anyone

After last year's Hamas-led (and, no doubt, Iran-sponsored) brutal attacks on innocent civilians in Israel, Hamas and its stomping grounds should have been levelled in the following days.

In my opinion.

The bleating on behalf of a group of losers by whiter liberal losers means nothing to me.

How can this - :

Bibas can be seen in the footage with blood covering his face as his captors attempt to go through a rioting crowd surrounding the motorcycle he's being held on. His captors yelled at the people surrounding the vehicle and even waved a pistol in the air.

- be excused of justified?

 

But I digress ...

 

For years, successive governments have been decidedly undiscriminating and have allowed in those whose goal is to remove (read: eliminate) those who are not like them.

The chickens have come home to roost:

Among the so-called innocent "civilians" who Hamas claims have been killed by Israel, there are thousands of guilty and complicit civilians without whose assistance Hamas could not have succeeded in their barbarisms.

When Hamas provides its self-serving numbers of those allegedly killed by Israel, they refuse to distinguish between combatants and civilians. They certainly do not identify complicit "civilians," nor do they indicate how many were killed by the "friendly fire" of Hamas and other terrorist groups, whose rockets routinely misfire and land within Gaza. In a deliberate effort to mislead, Hamas instead purports to list the number of women and children who have been killed. But they include terrorists under the age of 19 as "children" and female terrorists as "women."

All in all, the number of absolutely innocent Gazans — babies, children and adults who are not complicit in Hamas crimes — is a fraction of those claimed by Israel's enemies, including so-called human rights groups.

It is time for a thorough and objective investigation of the actual status of all those allegedly killed by Israeli military actions. The results will show that Israel has achieved a remarkably low and unheard of ratio of combatants and complicit civilians to innocent civilians.

The pretense that these rallies are just pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrating against Israeli policies and the turbulent politics of the Middle East disappeared as the crowd roared its approval in support of the October 7 attacks.

In a video posted to X, a man is heard shouting, “Our resistance attacks are proof that we are almost free,” as protesters march in front of the Parliament buildings.

“October 7 is proof that we are almost free,” he adds, and the crowd erupts in cheers and whoops.

“Long live October 7. Long live the resistance. Long live the intifada. Long live every form of resistance,” he says.

So this is who we are, or at least a large number of Canadians, people who openly celebrate the slaughter of men, women and children, who glorify the mass rape of young women, who praise a terrorist entity committed to the eradication of another race.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland yesterday said it “would be just wrong for me to comment” on a Parliament Hill protest celebrating the October 7 killing and kidnapping of Jews in Israel including eight Canadians. A police investigation of the demonstration is underway: “Is that hate speech?”

 

Let's remember that the Nazi's granddaughter and her government had no problem arresting disaffected Canadians over the draconian lockdown policies and were glad to spend any price for it.

The above is what complicity looks like.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backtracked on a pre-approved military response to Iran’s massive drone and missile attack due to pressure by U.S. President Joe Biden, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported Wednesday.

Biden reportedly told Netanyahu during a phone call on Saturday that Washington would not participate in nor support an Israeli retaliatory attack.

According to the report, Netanyahu thereafter shelved a series of options that had already been approved by the Cabinet.

“The response won’t be what was planned, diplomatic sensitivities won out,” the report quoted a senior Israeli source as saying. Nevertheless, the source stressed that there would be some form of action against Iranian interests.

A few Ontario government members have voted again today to uphold a ban on keffiyehs in the legislature, prompting some people watching question period from the public galleries to put on the scarves.

Legislative security ejected the protesters, who were shouting, "free free Palestine."

The Speaker of the legislature has ruled that people in the chamber as well as in the building cannot wear keffiyehs, which he says are being worn to make a political statement.

The leaders of all political parties in the legislature, including Premier Doug Ford, have called on the Speaker to reverse his decision.

But an NDP motion asking for unanimous consent to do so failed for a second time today when some government members said "no."

Sarah Jama, who sits as an independent after being kicked out of the NDP caucus last year, put on a keffiyeh after the motion failed, but she has so far not been asked to remove it.

A keffiyeh is a checkered scarf typically worn in Arab cultures that has come to symbolize solidarity with Palestinians.
