Editorial WSJ, Feb. 9, 2022 “… as the Omicron virus shows itself to be less lethal and positive test rates fall, the truckers are sending a message to democratic governments that it’s time for the pandemic emergency orders to end.” Canadian truckers opposed to a Covid-19 vaccination mandate used their rigs on Monday to block the Ambassador […]
Adam Zivo National Post, Feb. 8, 2022 “Were the protesters in Toronto raging bigots? Seemingly not. While the crowds definitely skewed whiter than the rest of the city, there was no shortage of racialized Canadians who seemed completely at ease.” The Freedom Convoy rolled into Toronto on Saturday, and after attending the protest as an […]
Rex Murphy National Post, Feb. 2, 2022 “A walk down to the protest, an easy talk with random truckers, with Trudeau saying his piece, and the drivers theirs — that would have been a Canadian moment.” No rocks for every Starbucks window and those of small businesses. No blizzard of break-ins, no store owners standing […]

Omar Abdulkader and Tucker Reals CBS News, Feb. 9, 2022 “Many Daesh [ISIS] and al Qaeda leaders are still alive, protected by Turkey in occupied areas of northeast and northwest Syria.

Eric R. Mandel Jerusalem Post, Feb. 3, 2022 “Once ISIS was subdued, the interests of Iran, Syria, and Russia began to diverge.

Ken Cohen JNS, Feb. 2, 2022 “… one of the most pernicious lies about Israel’s creation is that it was born due to the Holocaust, a result of the United Nations Partition Plan of 1947. The truth is, Israel was created by the Jews themselves as a result of more than a half-century of organizing.” […]

Abraham Benlolo and Jerry S. Grafstein National Post, Feb. 4, 2022 “Where was Amnesty International?” On June 1, 2001, a Palestinian terrorist blew himself up outside a Tel Aviv night club, killing 21 Israelis, 16 of whom were teenagers.
