BREAKING:

Gaza Health Ministry has now admitted that the total death count in Gaza stands at 21, 720.

An estimated 13,000 of those militant deaths are from IDF estimates.

It means that only 8,720 have been civilian deaths.

Current combatant to civilian ratio stands at under 1:1.

Numbers like these have never been seen in any war in modern history.

According to the UN, civilians usually make up around 90 percent of casualties in war.

That’s a 1:9 ratio. Compared to the IDF’s 1:1.

The IDF are also operating in an Urban War environment where Hamas hides amongst the civilian population. IDF is the most extraordinary army.

We’re fed up. Canadians are fed up.

For months, Jews in 🇨🇦 have been intimidated by anti-Israel radicals. Aggressive demonstrations have taken place outside synagogues and taken over Jewish neighbourhoods, calls of ‘Death to the Jews’ have been chanted in front of Jewish schools — some of which have been shot at while others threatened with bombs — Jewish businesses have been vandalized, and Jewish students have been assaulted on campus.

And yet those behind these incidents try to claim they are being vilified as antisemitic. They claim they have nothing against Jews. Well, let this erase any misconceptions: here is yet another proof point that their targeting of the Jewish community is calculated and deliberate.

It’s long past time that the hateful people behind this and every other antisemitic act are held accountable. Law enforcement stepping up to put a stop to this is exactly what is needed and what we've been calling for.

We mourn the loss of innocent Palestinian lives after an explosion at Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza. The death toll is staggering and tragic. Early reports from multiple independent sources, as well as IDF, assess that the explosion at the hospital was caused by a rocket fired by Palestinian terrorists from Gaza, and not by Israeli military action. Hamas, PIJ and other Palestinian terrorists have no regard for the lives of Palestinians in Gaza and are using them as human shields.
