As Torah Jews, we say that we stand with the Palestinian people.

Perverted Zionism is never Judaism, and the Zionist regime can never be representative of the Jewish people.

Before the establishment of Israel, the Jewish community lived peacefully as neighbors with Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land.

We pray every day for those beautiful days to come again.

We stand with the Palestinian people. Israel does not represent Torah Jews. Israel is not the state of the Jews. Our hearts are shattered over the loss of so much innocent life. It pains us to the core how this is all carried out in the name of Jewish people. We want peace. We want to live in harmony. Like our grandparents did for centuries. May GD uplift the broken, heal the injured & finally bring upon peace to His world.

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.

I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.

I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.

I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.

I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.

And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

As Sylvia Jones closed public operating rooms, Jones allocated “unprecedented” public heathcare dollars to private surgical clinics. In 2023 Ontarians paid 3× more $4,037 for knee arthroscopy surgery at Don Mills for-profit vs $1,273 in a public hospital.

🇬🇧🇵🇸 Richard Burgon expone la hipocresía británica

En el Parlamento británico, el diputado Richard Burgon dejó en evidencia el doble rasero del gobierno.

“Imaginemos que este fin de semana en Londres hubiera un evento ruso vendiendo tierras ucranianas.

El gobierno lo prohibiría de inmediato. En cambio, tenemos un evento inmobiliario israelí vendiendo abiertamente tierras robadas en territorios palestinos ocupados… y el gobierno no hace nada.”

El Reino Unido reconoce oficialmente a Palestina, pero permite que se vendan propiedades en asentamientos ilegales israelíes.

Esto es la hipocresía occidental en su máxima expresión: leyes para unos, impunidad total para Israel.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

🇺🇸🇵🇸Testimonio que llega al almaUna enfermera estadounidense que trabajó en Gaza, entrevistada por CNN, lo dijo con el corazón.

“Mi corazón late en Gaza.
El pueblo palestino es la gente más magnífica que he conocido en mi vida.
Si tuviera aunque sea una pequeña parte de su coraje, moriría como una persona feliz.”

A pesar de todo el horror, el bloqueo, los bombardeos y el genocidio, los palestinos siguen demostrando una dignidad y una resistencia que conmueve hasta a quienes van a ayudarlos.

Este tipo de testimonios de extranjeros que han estado en el terreno son oro puro.

Desmienten toda la propaganda sionista.

Maybe if Canada's Jewish community at least ACKNOWLEDGED that Israel is committing war crimes, it would bring down the tempature.

Calling any criticism of Israel or Netanyahu 'anti Semitism' is just going to make people angrier.

It is okay to be Jewish.

It is okay to attend your local synagogue.

It is okay to celebrate Hannukah.

It is not okay to use white phosphorus on civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.

“The growing wave of antisemitism in Canada is a myth. B’nai Brith Canada, a pro-Israel lobby group, has invented “a national crisis” of antisemitism by defining opposition to Zionism and criticism of Israel’s conduct as Judeophobia. The organization, along with other pro-Israel partisans, are pressing Canadian governments at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels to implement legal measures to criminalize pro-Palestinian, pro-democracy and anti-Zionist, anti-colonial political positions.”

Charlie Angus: There was a group of young Normandy students, and two young teenage girls read a poem in French to the commemoration ceremonies and to the immense field of the dead. And she said, "We are the children that you never had. We are the children of liberty."

And there wasn't a dry eye in the house, but I always remember because Charles Scott Brown, in his 90s, stood up. And he broke protocol, of course, and he said to those young girls, "Don't cry for any man in this field. They came to free you, and they would do it again if they were asked."

That's what we come from. That is [Canada's] legacy. Do you think that we're going to let the likes of Pete Hoekstra push us around, or Donald Trump and his predator government threaten us? That's what we represent.

Doug Ford gets an F.

The legislature sat for 29 days this year.

Doug Ford used that time to buy a jet, try to take over Billy Bishop, and restrict FOI requests to hide his records.

He didn't fix a single thing for people struggling with rent, groceries, or gas.

The Ontario NDP will keep fighting for solutions to make life more affordable.
