The lack of common sense shared standards when dealing with Israel never ceases to amaze me. Iran-backed Hezbollah, a terror army inside Lebanon, has fired over 1,000 rockets at northern Israel despite the April 2026 ceasefire. This again forced tens of thousands of Israeli citizens to evacuate their homes or live daily running to shelters. This is not Lebanon confronting Israel. It is a terror group that Lebanon, despite repeated promises and UN resolutions, does not control and cannot control. No other nation would accept this or be told to just take it. Israel responded by striking the terror organization. Then Iran launched 11 ballistic missiles directly at Israel, massively violating the ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel. Yet somehow Israel is the one constantly told to show restraint.
A national human rights museum should foster dialogue, not stoke division. Right now it's doing the opposite. Write your MP and demand better: https://t.co/CyCG4T4dDV https://t.co/CyCG4T4dDV
🚨 A 38-year-old man was in Montreal police custody Friday morning after an attempt was made to set a Westmount synagogue on fire.
Officers found flammables and a broken window at the rear of the building, and believe someone tried to set the synagogue on fire from the inside.

My latest in @the_lineca on how Mark Carney's speech missed the mark by miles.
"Canada does not need more elegantly phrased concerns; what we need is a direct confrontation with the radical anti-Zionism that is being used as cover to terrorize Jews."

In the @nationalpost, @IrwinCotler responds to @MarkJCarney’s speech this past week on Canada’s antisemitism crisis.
As he points out, what was missing was any recognition of the “3 Ds” (coined by Israeli human rights advocate and politician Natan Sharansky to help distinguish legitimate criticism of Israel from antisemitism), which is being used by anti-Israel extremists ⬇️
1️⃣ Delegitimization — Israel has no moral or historical right to exist as a nation-state.
2️⃣ Demonization — Zionism is a racist ideology, Israel an apartheid regime. Israel and Israelis are equated with Nazi Germany and Nazis.
3️⃣ Double Standards — When criticism of Israel is applied selectively and in a grossly unfair manner and Israel is singled out when clearly immoral behaviour of other nation-states is ignored.

We all know what is behind the antisemitism on our streets. Jesse dives into who is behind the protests and the firebombings and synagogue shootings. Hint: It isn't the "far right" ...

CIJA Responds to Prime Minister’s Address on Antisemitism:
The Jewish community is angry, frustrated and deeply concerned for its future in Canada. For nearly three years, Jewish Canadians have watched antisemitism surge across our country while too many institutions, leaders, and authorities failed to respond with the urgency the situation demands. The hate and hostility targeting Canada’s Jewish community is an urgent national crisis.
In a public address to the nation, the Prime Minister acknowledged that antisemitism is a threat to all Canadians. He recognized that the crisis of antisemitism in Canada today is specific, severe, and demands a targeted response. He laid out specific measures the government has introduced, sharing his concern that Canada’s civic compact is failing the Jewish community.
The Prime Minister’s address marks an important moment in an urgently needed, national conversation. What matters most are the actions that will follow.
Urgent focus is now needed to ensure consistent enforcement of the law, as well as serious measures to disrupt radicalization and terrorist activity in Canada. To address the campaign of harassment targeting the Jewish community, authorities must also end the weaponization of public institutions like the Canada Revenue Agency. And in confronting the sources of radicalization, it is essential to recognize antizionist extremism as a driver of hostility toward Canadian Jews since the Hamas-led October 7 terrorist attacks—a point that the Prime Minister did not explicitly make and that Canadians needed to hear.
While the Prime Minister correctly stated that a whole of government approach is required to fight antisemitism, the formation and composition of the new Ministerial Advisory Council raise serious concerns. The challenge facing our country has been studied extensively. Immediate action, rather than further deliberation, is what’s needed now. This new body must not delay or obstruct the urgent measures needed to protect Canadians from the extremists threatening our national security, community safety, and the Canadian way of life.
We urge our Prime Minister and leaders across Canada to act now, in light of these growing threats. Our community will continue to advocate for measures to protect Canadians, confront extremism, and restore confidence that Canada remains a country where Jewish life can thrive safely and openly.
In speech, @MarkJCarney cites "drove Jewish students from common spaces on our university campuses" as an example of antisemitism.
Help me understand why he appointed the lawyer who filed a Charter challenge against @UAlberta for removing its encampment https://t.co/C1P4EnCmbL
I think this is a central point. Jews already know there is antisemitism. But it’s much safer politically to go to a synagogue and talk vaguely about stopping hate than it is to speak to the public — in specific, precise terms — about how and why that hate proliferates
BREAKING: Author of U.N. report placing Israel on sexual violence blacklist admits she has not personally viewed any evidence. “I made it clear to Israel I would not visit any detention facility, even if offered. It's not the responsibility of my office to do any verification.”
🚨 BREAKING: New report by UN Watch reveals UN “experts” accepted millions of dollars from China, Russia, and Qatar before attacking the U.S., Israel, and the West.
🧵 See the report’s most striking findings:
Canada might want to get its own virulent, violent, and increasingly dangerous antisemitism under control before lecturing Israel over a PR stunt by extremists.
Imagine how the taxpayer-funded legacy media would respond to reports of an effigy of a Black, Indigenous or Asian person being hung at a street protest.
They’d track down the culprits, interview witnesses and members of the victimized group, and ask politicians to comment.
Spoke with Canadian FM @AnitaAnandMP.
I described the sole aim of the extremist, anti-Israel flotilla activists: provocation at the service of Hamas. Just look at the what they did afterwards in Spain, Greece and Austria.
Israel will continue to act in full accordance with international law and will not permit any breach of the lawful naval blockade on Gaza.
I also highlighted the horrific antisemitic wave in Canada - an average of 19 incidents a day. The Canadian government must take steps against antisemitic incitement and attacks.
Israel produced forensic evidence, videos, and 1000s of photos documenting the sexual violence of Oct 7.
The world stayed silent.
A handful of activists get off a boat making up sexual abuse claims against Israel.
And it becomes headline news.
Make it make sense.
