No Country For Anyone

How far we have fallen:

A Hamas captivity survivor on a speaking tour in Canada this month said she won’t “let terror sympathizers control the narrative” after anti-Israel demonstrators allegedly blocked the exit of her venue last week.

Noa Argamani, 27, was in Windsor, Ont., as part of a Jewish National Fund (JNF) fundraising event at the University of Windsor, which reportedly attracted members of the school’s Palestinian Solidarity Group.

On Saturday, Argamani shared an X post from FactsMatter describing the activists surrounding the building, “blocking the only entrance and shouting at the Jewish attendees. In a brief video clip attached, a voice is heard shouting, “Hamas is coming.” 

 

(Sidebar: are the police going to arrest these thugs, or do they only act after Justin Trudeau has soiled himself? Let me know when Khalistani thugs or Iranian officials get the boot.)

The City of Ottawa has confirmed that the man accused of vandalizing the National Holocaust Memorial with red paint earlier this month has been fired.

In a statement on Sunday afternoon, interim city solicitor Stuart Huxley confirmed that Iain Aspenlieder no longer works for the city and that he was on leave at the time of the incident.

“The recent act affecting the National Holocaust monument was deplorable and is counter to the values we seek to uphold in our community. We extend our deepest sympathies to members of our community impacted by this disgraceful act,” Huxley wrote in an emailed statement to the Citizen.

“The City can confirm that the individual implicated in this act was on leave at the time of the incident and is no longer employed by the City. As the matter is the subject of a police investigation and is before the courts, the City will provide no further comment.”
