@ArgamaniNoa Dear @ArgamaniNoa it was such an honour to host you in Vancouver. You have inspired all of us and we will never stop until the last hostage is returned home.
Am mistake chai🇮🇱 @JnfCanada
I just wrapped about 10 days in Canada, speaking to whoever was willing to listen about the urgent need to bring my Avinatan and all 50 hostages home. It wasn’t easy being so far from my family and friends in Israel: as I was fighting for the hostages, they were fighting for their lives sheltering from Iran’s deadly missiles.
Thank you to @JnfCanada and all the wonderful warm people I met along the way. You showered me with love and support and made me feel that though I am far away from home, the Jewish people have family everywhere.
May this be the last trip, the last lecture, the last rally, the last tears. May we all be reunited with our loved ones soon.
By comparing mass murderer Yayha Sinwar and human rights hero Nelson Mandela, the Mayor of Mississauga @carolynhparrish has - again - crossed a line with her recent statement during a City Council meeting earlier today.
“I just want to point out, and I’m not being facetious, Nelson Mandela was declared a terrorist by the United States of America ‘til the year 2008. Your terrorist and somebody else’s terrorist may be two different things.”
Yayha Sinwar was a terrorist, the main architect of the October 7 attacks and the leader of Hamas in Gaza, responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israelis and Palestinians. Hamas is recognized as a terrorist entity by many countries around the world including Canada.
Of course, the Government that listed Hamas as a terrorist entity was... Ms. Parrish's own party, back in 2002, as she was serving as a Member of Parliament.
Making any correlation to Nelson Mandela, a man honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize, to Yayha Sinwar, is despicable. It is an insult to the too-many families who have lost loved ones because of Sinwar, including Canadians.
Mayor Parrish's moral compass is obviously broken. Moreover, with this odious comparison, she sullied the reputation of the city she leads. Mississaugans, and frankly Ontarians and Canadians, deserve better.
The Mayor should apologize immediately for these remarks.
Once again, the @TheCJN gets it wrong.
Why do they continue to share misleading information on @JnfCanada's battle with the CRA?
Here, fixed it for you.

Samidoun is a pro-terror group that operates in Canada despite clear and direct ties to designated terror groups.
The federal government must ban Samidoun. Sign here: https://t.co/FpuXqnFiNh
.@JustinTrudeau there you have it, your new Canada. You have emboldened these shameless people buy your statements, UN actions. I’m a sad Jewish Canadian these days.
They don’t just hate Israel.
They don’t just hate Jews.
They hate all of Western civilization.
Here are the folks at the October 7 vigil in Vancouver chanting “Death to Canada!” and they are cheered for that.
Enough! This ends now. Stand up to this!
