In what appears to be another attack on a Jewish business in Canada this time in Montreal, a Kosher restaurant burns. When will our government invoke the emergencies Act to put an end to these outrageous attacks?
@BoyGeorge my advice: filter out people who are not your real friends, who only saw you as a way to make a buck but not when it truly counts. This is a great opportunity to surround yourself with people who love you, and discard the naysayers.
In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!

Thanks for not backing down @BoyGeorge So many were silent during the Holocaust. History will remember you for speaking out against terrorism. Keep at it.
So many people are calling me and saying I should pipe down and let it blow over and while they mean well I'm afraid it's not an option.
Doubling down works for Donald Trump and we share a birthday with Che Guevara, Alan Carr and Paul O'Grady.
What a supergroup that would be. Move over Steps.
What is most shocking is the amount of gay folk attacking me but I am smart enough to realise that what you are cannot disguise who you are. No gay person speaks for an entire community and if you support terrorism you can in the words of Divine 'Take your toolkit and go fuck a garage'.
When I say 'they want to kill every last one of us' I am also talking about us queers not just the Jewish community. When will you wake up?
Regardless of which side you take, I am disgusted by anyone who posts hatred against anyone but refuses to show their face.
If you have something powerful to say then you should have the guts to show the world who you are but most, if not all of you, are unwilling to show your faces and the only reason is self interest.

The Board of Peace and the mediating countries of Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye, and the United States today are pleased to announce that Hamas has agreed to a detailed Roadmap for implementing the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire.
The agreement concludes months of intensive, good faith negotiations to advance President Donald J. Trump's vision for establishing new governance, security, humanitarian relief, reconstruction, and economic recovery in Gaza as set out in the Comprehensive Peace Plan and U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803.
The Roadmap represents a historic breakthrough. For the first time, Hamas officially has committed to an actionable plan for relinquishing all its weapons, which will be followed by Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
It holds the promise of delivering significant benefits to the people of Gaza, who have waited for too long for a better future, and security to the people of Israel.
Our focus now turns to implementation. The Board of Peace has worked closely with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). It will soon begin a phased transition toward full authority, backed by the International Stabilization Force (ISF), and will accelerate implementation of the rule of law, security, and humanitarian improvement in Gaza.
It doesn't matter what I think or what you think. When will you realise you're doing NOTHING! It's a fucking joke. I am even falling out with Jewish friends. The madness knows no bounds.
To the Kingdom of Morocco, its leadership and its people, we extend our warmest congratulations on the occasion of the Glorious Throne Day.
Sincerely,
Israel 🇮🇱

EXPAND THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS AS IRAN WIDENS THE WAR
The Abraham Global Peace Initiative (AGPI) warns that Iran’s attacks on American forces, activation of terror proxies and threats to international shipping are a deliberate strategy to widen war, intimidate neighbouring countries and hold global commerce hostage. Iran’s courageous people are the regime’s first victims; the entire region is now paying the price. This is the moment to expand the Abraham Accords—not retreat from them. Bringing Israel together with more Arab and Muslim nations would isolate Tehran, strengthen regional security and prove that cooperation defeats extremism. Democracies must constrain the IRGC, dismantle its proxies, protect shipping and restore deterrence.
“JEWS AREN’T ALLOWED HERE” A Montreal woman told a Jewish father in a local park. How did Montreal reach this point? Community leader Beryl Wajsman says there is "no exodus of Jews from Montreal" and how the community is fighting back.
