The idea was that Hamas’s dramatic attacks would electrify public opinion in the region against Israel, the U.S. and the Arab rulers willing to work with them.” Most news and commentary describes the war in Gaza as […]
David Schenker Washington Institute, Oct. 23, 2023 “If the Israeli operations go well, Iran could seek to broaden the conflict. If they go badly, it may look to exploit perceived weakness.

Pierre Poillievre, Leader of the Opposition OpenParliament.ca, Oct. 16, 2023 “Hamas not only seeks the maximum suffering of the Israeli people; it seeks the maximum suffering of Palestinians as well. Hamas has controlled Gaza ever since Israel departed from the Gaza strip, roughly a decade and a half ago, and it has worked diligently to […]
Avi Benlolo National Post, Nov. 3, 2023 “Where are the pro-Palestinian demonstrations demanding that Hamas return the 242 Israelis and foreigners held in medieval-like conditions in Gaza? Where are the candlelight vigils and the calls to stop bombing Israeli cities and towns with crude rockets aimed at civilian populations? Where are the so-called international human rights […]
Barbara Kay National Post, Nov. 5, 2023 “As for Lyons’s curious public reticence, she may be operating under a superannuated anti-antisemitism paradigm of genteel back-channel diplomacy.

Seventy percent said that it was acceptable to shout down a speaker, and 30 percent said that using violence to stop a speech was acceptable.” After Harvard student groups blamed […]
Epoch Times, Nov. 6, 2023 “The fact that we now see hundreds of people in the streets rallying in support of Hamas’ barbarity is no surprise since these groups have operated without impunity.” Canada and other countries have seen a steady stream of protests against Israel and in support of Palestine since the […]
