I'm about to see Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish. It's supposed to be great!
There are police outside and metal detectors inside, unlike every theatre production in this city that isn't so Jewish.
I think we're teetering on the edge.
This post I'm sharing by @mgeist, and the letter included by Peter Biro might look quite long, but please read it — it's worth the time.
In short, alongside some of the world's leading experts on antisemitism, including @IrwinCotler, @deborahlipstadt, Alan Kessel, @LekhtNaya, and others, I was scheduled to speak at a day-long conference about antisemitism at Massey College in Toronto next September.
That was, until Massey decided that they needed to create an "advisory committee" to oversee and effectively curate the entire program from beginning to end.
I won't drag on about this, but the whole thing is really quite appalling, and it feels like another instance of Jews being forced to prove their trustworthiness and their ability to ensure that any examination of the hatred directed towards them is, as always, balanced. They/we need to show Massey we're some of the good Jews.
All told, Peter has resigned from his role at Massey, and the conference will no longer take place there, but it most certainly will go ahead, and I must say, I'm more delighted than ever to be part of it. Read Michael's post and Peter's letter. You'll be glad you did.
HIS DAUGHTER DIED IN HIS ARMS, "ARE THEY KILLING US?""
On October 7th, Hamas killed the daughter of the Idan family named Maayan, 18. Then, Hamas kidnapped her father Tsachi to Gaza and killed him too.
🕯️Mr. Tsachi Idan (49)
🕯️ Maayan Idan (18)
This is the last image of Tsachi, seen with his head down, holding his son, wife and daughter.
Moments before, his 18-year-old daughter, Maayan was shot by terrorists who invaded their safe room, and she died in his arms.
The Palestinians then took his wife Gali’s phone and livestreamed the horrors from her Facebook page to all her friends, warning neighbors what would soon await them.
In the footage, the family was huddled on the kitchen floor. They are covered in Maayan's blood. Meanwhile, Tschai's younger kids are heard asking "are they killing us? are they killing us" in Hebrew.
Tschai's hands were then cuffed behind his back, in one of the most well-documented abductions in his kibbutz, Times of Israel and JP reported.
The children were overheard begging the Hamas not to take their dad, not to kill him.
"I love you, don't be a hero, be smart. Take care of yourself, and come back to me in one piece," Gali screamed as Palestinians dragged Tsachi away from her.
Tsachi was later murdered in captivity.
Pure evil is bred and cultivated in Gaza by design, and we must figure out what needs to be done so we can live in peace.
This cannot happen again.
Nothing will bring back Tsachi and Maayan.
Ontario’s police watchdog has charged Toronto police Const. Parsa Hazeri with s*xual assault and several other offences involving a girl under 16.
He was arrested Thursday, released on bail with conditions, and is barred from contacting the young person.
Liberal Jews strike again. The ultimate decision not to file hate crime charges against the anti-Semitic thug was made by Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman. He is the kapo who decided that terrorizing Jews is unworthy of hate crime designation.

Such a rapid turnaround hasn’t been seen for a long time:
At the beginning of the week, Slovenia prevented an Israeli plane from landing in its territory.
Yesterday, a new right‑wing government was sworn in.
And this evening, Foreign Minister Saar already announced the opening of an embassy in the country.
Shabana Mahmood has CONDEMNED the Henry Nowak protests in Southampton, saying those responsible will be arrested.
Meanwhile, here she is on a pro-Palestine protest which turned violent and forced a supermarket to close.
She has since deleted this video. Please don't RT it.
🔴 Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 | Le dernier Juif d’une famille britannique vieille de 400 ans fait ses valises pour Israël
Ses parents sont déjà partis
Ses cinq sœurs aussi.
Baruch raconte qu’on lui crie « Free Palestine » et « Tu n’as rien à faire ici » dans la rue.
Il a même été menacé de recevoir de l’acide au visage simplement parce qu’il est juif
Sa famille vivait en Angleterre depuis près de 400 ans.
Baruch est le dernier à partir
La chute de l’Occident ne commence pas quand les Juifs arrivent
Elle commence quand ils partent

Just a reminder that Laura Loomer was the first journalist in America who confronted Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to their faces about their Jew hatred and open associations with terrorist organizations.
This happened in 2019, right after they entered Congress. While the rest of the media treated Tlaib and Omar as victims of Islamophobia, Laura Loomer did what almost no one else had the courage to do.
She looked them directly in the eye and called out their antisemitism, their defense of Hamas and Hezbollah, and their hostility toward Jews and Israel.
Most journalists and politicians preferred to stay silent or even defend them. They ignored the fact that both women have repeatedly spread antisemitic tropes, justified violence against Jews, and built political careers on demonizing the Jewish state. Laura Loomer refused to play along with that charade.

We are living in post WW2
History remembers Jews packing their bags 1933 to 1939 as the antisemitism grew, as Jews began to be targeted ~ the fight for survival started then.
Think about it.
Is it that different in Canada today?
Jews are being targeted here…today 🇨🇦
This doctor is an illustration of that.
For years and years we were forced to care about “micro aggressions” like calling someone the wrong pronoun or saying a black woman is angry.
But Jews can be physically assaulted and explicitly threatened, & those same people won’t utter a word.
Leftism is fake &hypocritical.
BREAKING: Carney blows through his deficit numbers again, says his Parliamentary Budget Officer today.
He’s on track to add $23 billion more to the deficit than he projected a month ago in his spring update.
No wonder Canada is the only G20 country in recession. He’s the banker who can’t budget.
We lost another hero in Lebanon.
Captain Eitan Shmuel Lemberg, 21, an armor officer in the 75th Battalion of the 7th Armored Brigade.
May his memory be a blessing🕯️
What a picture. You could not gather a more thoughtless and disdainful group who oppose Canadian values. And, yes, this is the same school board that allowed a Hamas terrorist anthem to be played on Remembrance Day.
