This is what the organisers of Sunday’s ‘protest’ outside the synagogue were sharing. They wanted revenge for a British court heavy sentencing of Palestine Action criminals. It was a chance to “rage” at Jews by Hamas supporters and should NEVER have been allowed.

Please sign this petition from @CLARITyCoaltion against the government of Canada appointing terrorist defenders to an advisory board meant to ‘combat hate in all forms’ It’s a dangerous national disgrace and we MUST vehemently oppose it not just for Jewish Canadians, but for all Canadians c.org/sDJwym8HSz

John Stuart Mill nailed Canada’s problem. A free country cannot survive when one side controls the schools, media, bureaucracy, courts, and cultural institutions, then treats every serious objection as misinformation, hate, or extremism. If your argument cannot survive open debate, it is not wisdom. It is weakness wearing a government badge. Canada’s problem is not that Canadians disagree. Healthy countries disagree. The problem is that too many people in power no longer think they should have to answer the other side. They confuse slogans with thought and moral posing with truth. Mill understood what our political class has forgotten: you do not even understand your own position until you can state the opposing case honestly and refute it fairly. Canada needs more of that again. Less censorship. Less sneering. Less expert class arrogance. More courage. More debate. More freedom.

Palestinian terrorist Ismat Mansour murdered a civilian in 1993 and served 20 years in prison. He's now a contributor to @BBCArabic and is introduced as an “analyst” of Israeli affairs. This is the BBC's idea of impartial, public service broadcasting. thejc.com/news/world/bbc-ara…

Now it emerges Hadi Alodid was born in Saudi Arabia, got a boat across the Med from Libya before flying into Ireland from Paris. First he was Somali, then Sudanese, then Saudi. First he flew directly from Khartoum, now he got a boat to EU. We have NO IDEA who these people are!

This really worries me A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06…

Gaza Imam & Hamas tribal official, Sheikh Hussein Abu Ayada: “This is a war between Islam and disbelief… between Judaism and Islam… We are confronting the Jews. This is a religious and ideological war.” They openly admit it has nothing to do with “land.” Straight from a Palestinian cleric in Gaza. The world has been totally played. H/T @MEMRIReports

“Contaminated with apartheid and Zionism.” The anti-Israel mob have officially stopped pretending this isn’t about targeting Jews. Stickers calling to boycott Israeli goods were placed on a box of matzah in Sainsbury’s in Clifton, Bristol. However, the manufacturer – Rakusen’s – is based in Yorkshire. This is not a product from Israel. This is a British kosher manufacturer, based in the north of England. Any pretence of this being about Israel has dropped. They simply saw kosher products in a supermarket and decided that it was fair game to vandalise. In the 1930s, Nazi propaganda used analogies which compared Jews to parasites, in an effort to dehumanise them and to justify the cleansing of German society from what was perceived to be an unhygienic, contaminating threat. Boycotts of Jewish goods and businesses were also an attempt to rid society of Jews. These stickers echo those disturbing ideas. We understand that the store manager was alerted and that a police investigation is currently underway. The targeting of Jewish goods, which bear no connection to Israel, in the name of activism only does one thing: it targets Jews.

John Healey’s resignation letter is absolutely damning of both Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves - he is directly accusing them and the Labour government of not doing what it takes to ensure Britain can defend itself - about the most serious charge it is possible to make

Disgusting. Tunbridge Wells!
CAA has sent a letter to the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells regarding a performance some weeks ago featuring comedian Jen Brister. We had received deeply concerning reports from two Jewish audience members who attended the performance, who observed Ms Brister initiating chants of “F*** Israel, free Palestine” from the stage, encouraging the audience to join in. The Jewish audience members have told us that the atmosphere became more like that of a rally than a comedy performance, and that the hostility and aggression elicited by Ms Brister from the rest of the audience caused them to fear for their safety, as a result of which they felt compelled to leave the theatre. We have written to ask the venue to confirm its position on the performance and whether it will take steps with regard to safeguarding measures for audience members to prevent similar experiences from occurring in future.

In Britain, antisemitism is being taught from a young age. At the University of Hertfordshire, they hosted teacher Zeinab Kamal presented as a “London Palestinian”, who spread vicious lies and hatred against Israel to students. She is a British citizen who receives financial support from UK taxpayers, yet she openly promotes anti-Israel propaganda and incitement inside British educational institutions. This is how Jew-hatred is being injected into Britain’s education system, by people the country itself is funding.

A great Vancouverite #BCpoli
Canadian Charlotte Kates Coordinator of the Terrorist Samidoun Organization Attended, Gave A Speech And Was Given A Medal In Tehran On June 9, 2026! This Is A Threat To Canada! The following is from their Telegram account: "Charlotte Kates to The Right Side of History Medal ceremony: "Alongside the Resistance and on the right side of history until the end of imperialism and Zionism" "The Right Side of History Medal was awarded to a group of international activists, artists, and politicians in Tehran on June 9, 2026 — at a ceremony held on Keshvardoost Street, just meters from where Imam Khamenei was martyred." "Charlotte Kates, coordinator of Samidoun, invoked the martyred Leader's words to American university students — "As the page of history is turning, you are standing on the right side of it" — and argued that two years later, they ring truer than ever, as the Resistance across Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran has shown the world that imperialism can be humiliated and Zionism is weaker than a spider's web." The following is a link to their video: x.com/Khamenei_m/status/2064… Your contribution will enable us spread The Jewish Idea and to combat, research, analyze and stop planned antisemitic BDS actions israelnow.ca/donate/ . With your help, we will plan actions to counter and stop BDS Hamas threats, lies and hate.
