Warren Kinsella Toronto Sun, Aug. 10, 2024 “Inash El Usra’s website shows videos of a children’s concert, uploaded to their YouTube account. In one video, a child is dressed up as a Hasidic Jew – complete with payot or side curls – and he shoots a toy machine gun at girls wearing Palestinian flags.” Ottawa wants to take […]
Dexter Van Zile JNS, Aug. 14, 2024 “Speaking before Dattani’s ouster, Milke declared that NCCM’s defense of Dattani showed “the absurd age we are in: Governments and academia will hire, keep and defend antisemites, but will cancel a scholar for writing a book review that pointed out the obvious: Islam has an imperial history, just […]
Jesse Kline National Post, Aug. 21, 2024 “Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Islamic Jihad is not a terrorist organization. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is not a terrorist organization. Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization,” she told a jubilant crowd of terrorist sympathizers. “These are resistance fighters. These are our heroes.” There are […]
Noé Chartier Epoch Times, Aug. 17, 2024 “I don’t think they have the resources to do a full background check on everybody that the government was seeking to bring into Canada.” Many questions are left unanswered around the foiled alleged terrorist plot in Toronto covered by a publication ban, especially on how one of the […]

Yair Lapid Times of Israel, Aug. 19, 2024 “By what moral code should Israel accept rocket barrages from terrorist organizations and rogue states?” Twelve innocent children were killed by Hezbollah at a soccer field in northern Israel. The next day I visited the site. Bloodstained bicycles were still strewn on the ground. I […]
Alex Winston Jerusalem Post, Aug. 20, 2024 “Iran is not in a position to fight Israel. They emphasized that ‘even if we launch an attack, we should immediately consider a ceasefire with international mediators.’” Iran is in no position to fight a long-term war with Israel and even asked the US […]
Col. (res.) Gur Laish BESA, Aug. 19, 2024 “Throughout its short history, Israel has never been able to completely eliminate any of its enemies.” But can Israel eliminate Hamas (and Hezbollah)?

Martin Kramer Martin Kramer on the Middle East, Aug. 15, 2024 ” How did Columbia go from “two Palestinians” to a “unique concentration” in just seven years?” The resignation of Minouche Shafik, president of Columbia University, is being hailed as a victory all around. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who had called for her resignation back in April, celebrated the […]
Liel Leibovitz City Journal, Aug. 16, 2024 “These twin statements, Armstrong’s and Shafik’s, tell the story of Columbia’s decline better than any in-depth analysis ever could.” Earlier this week, Minouche Shafik, Columbia University’s president, unexpectedly resigned her post.
