Canadian foreign policy shows itself to be hypocritical.
We’re disgusted and frankly shocked that only hours after issuing a statement preconditioning a ceasefire on
#Hamas
releasing the hostages, stopping its use of Palestinians as human shields, laying down its arms, and…
New Democrats are horrified by and condemn the massacre by Israeli troops of over 100 Palestinians seeking life-saving aid.
Canada must take action to save lives.
Tomorrow, Parliament will debate actions proposed by the NDP.
We urge the other parties to support our motion.
Montreal’s Jewish community & its allies demand that the Israeli hostages illegally held by Hamas be brought home.
THAT is what the international community should be demanding. Now.
Many thousands of Canadian Jews & allies on Parliament Hill to show their support for Israel and denounce the dramatic rise in antisemitism.
The snow & the cold did not stop us.
So NDP MP
@LMathys
now wears a ‘Palestine’ pendant in the House, one that *completely* erases Israel.
When I called her out on it in Parliament, she complained to the chair to avoid this debate.
No Canadian elected official should be advocating for the disappearance of Israel
Apparently in 2024 Canada, it is acceptable to violently picket Jewish community centres — here in Montreal.
Wake up Canada! To permit this kind of intimidation can only lead to disaster.
“Under Canadian law, funding can only be advanced to organizations that respect Canadian values and international human rights standards. UNRWA does not meet this criteria.”
Why we're taking the federal government to court over UNRWA funding
Hard to think of a better example of settler-colonialism movement than the spread of Islam.
Hard to find a better example of indigeneity than Jews who bear the same name (Israel), speak the same language (Hebrew) & worship the same God as 3,000 yrs ago in their ancestral lands.
Good!
The 11 pro-Palestinian activists accused of defacing a downtown Indigo store have each been charged with an additional count of criminal harassment.
Are Jews indigenous to the Middle East? Let’s see:
Israel:
- bears the same name as 3,000 years ago
- speaks the same language (Hebrew) as 3,000 years ago
- worships the same God as 3,000 years ago
- inhabits the same land as 3,000 years ago.
Jews are an Indigenous people
Sarah Jama
- is kicked out of the ONDP caucus
- denies the rape of Israeli women on October 7th

for bringing me this reminder that 132 Israelis are still held in Gaza in inhuman conditions. It’ll always be on me.
As

ENOUGH!
Listen to this man marching the streets of Toronto, calling to target synagogues. And calling on children to join in this intimidation campaign against Jews.
Wake up Canadian, politicians, leaders and police.
If you're a Member of Parliament who voted for this NDP/Liberal resolution, you voted for an arms embargo against an ally. An ally who was attacked and whose civilians were killed, burnt, taken hostages, etc.
You can try to explain this away as much as you want but that's a fact
Israel fighting a defensive war against a Canadian listed terrorist organization that has sworn to destroy the Jewish state is exactly the time when 🇨🇦 should stand side-by-side with 🇮🇱. Instead, the Foreign Affairs Minister says this:

Let's recap:
- Shots fired at 2 Jewish schools in Montreal
- Jewish students threatened and assaulted at

- A Molotov cocktail thrown at a Dollard-des-Ormeaux synagogue
- A prominent imam spews hate during a big demonstration
Isn't it clear?
The fact that human rights icon
@IrwinCotler
needs to be under 24-hour police protection due to threat to his life is both deeply unacceptable and a very sad statement of the threat Jews live under now in Canada.
According to
@TorontoPolice
57% of all hate crimes committed since since Oct 7 targeted Jews, who are only 3.6% of the population of T.O. More needs to be done to stop the epidemic of antisemitism.
The CCTV cameras at Shifa Hospital prove beyond a doubt that Hamas was active there in Oct 7. They brought hostages there. In broad daylight.
The NGOs, the health care professionals there, the UN apparatus, they all lied about it.
Their lies & silence make them complicit.
Israel’s Leader of the Opposition
@yairlapid
openly & directly criticizes
@JustinTrudeau
for his statement last night.
Make no mistake: It is not a Trudeau-Netanyahu tiff. Israel is united across the political spectrum against the Canadian PM’s new position.
Prime Minister Trudeau, Israel is defending itself in difficult conditions against a brutal terrorist organization while trying to rescue babies, children, women and men who are being held hostage by Hamas-ISIS
Responsibility for this terrible situation rests with Hamas-ISIS.

The silence from Canadian Muslim organizations about Iran’s missile & drone attack on Jerusalem (Islam’s third holiest site) is deafening.
It’s the Jewish State that protected Al Aksa & Dome of the Rock from the attacks from the Iranian regime.
This is a poster calling for a “pro-Palestinian” (read: anti-Israel”) rally in Montreal this week end.
Look at it. Does like look like a peaceful, pro-peace group to you, with its imagery drawing directly from groups like Hamas and ISIS?

Watch 👇👇
After 700+ Israeli civilians massacred, 2000+ innocents injured and dozens kidnapped, Canada’s main Muslim advocacy organization, NCCM, puts out a tweet refusing to condemn the horrors. Every politico I sent it to is rightly horrified. The mask has fallen. We all see you.
On every stage, on every network, in any context, I will advocate for Israel’s right to defend itself from terrorists and I will denounce antisemitism and those who promote it.
The Canadian gvt decides to resume funding for UNRWA despite the fact that we recently learned that:
- UNRWA employees participated in the Oct 7 massacres
- a Hamas military compound was right under its HQ
It is the wrong decision. At the wrong time
Shabbat shalom from Tel Aviv!
And to all the haters out there: You can hate. The Jews, as the indigenous people of the Land of Israel, are back in their ancestral homeland to stay.
And I’ll keep smiling —& jogging in Jerusalem, in Tel Aviv and everywhere.

This is my son Olivier. He is in Israel. After getting his master at Tel Aviv University, he stayed to clerk at Israel’s Supreme Court. Now he spends hours in a shelter because Hamas wants to kill him and Jews like him.
How’s antisemitism in Canada?
Just yesterday:
- a Toronto Jewish-owned deli was firebombed
- a demonstration was organized in a Jewish area of Ottawa, far from any Israeli presence
- a Victoria theatre canceled a play written by an Israeli after vandalism
After seeing the reaction from
@FredHahnCUPE
(head of
@CUPEOntario
) and from a few other self-styled ‘progressives’ to the killing of 700+ civilians, the wounding of 2000+ innocents and the kidnapping of women and children by Hamas, this seems like bull’s eye.
Ceci est mon fils Olivier. Il est en Israël car, après avoir complété sa maîtrise à l’université de Tel Aviv, il fait un stage à la Cour suprême. Il passe des heures dans des abris car le Hamas, après avoir tué des civils de sang froid, lance mes missiles sur les villes en Israël
L’extrémiste islamiste Adil Charkaoui appelle à exterminer les Juifs sionistes (la très vaste majorité). Il est applaudi par des milliers de personnes.
Pas à Bagdad. Pas à Beyrouth. Pas à Doha. À Montréal.
Notre société est sourde et aveugle. Et malade.
If after these very public Hamas thanks to Canada, people don’t realize that calling for
#CeasefireNOW
, before Hamas’ surrender and freeing the hostages, is actually helping the terror group, it’s wilful blindness.
Or worse.
When a MP
@alexboulerice
spreads blood libel:
His fake news retweet is still up, despite the fact that both Hamas and Al Jazeera retracted.
Imagine a Canadian elected official hating Israel more than Hamas and Al Jazeera.
Get this: The Gvt of Canada was given an extensive dossier showing the deep UNRWA-Hamas ties.
And yet, it decided to resume funding of UNWRA.
THIS is why we are taking it to Court.
Yes to humanitarian aid to Gaza. Not through UNRWA.
NEW FROM ME: I was given access to the Israeli intelligence Canada had when the decision was made to resume funding UNRWA.
The dossier includes bios of UNRWA employees who took part in Oct. 7, maps of Hamas installations in & around schools, and more

This is the most disgusting thread of tweets I have seen here. A Canadian group identifying as Jewish justifying the massacre of innocent Jews is beyond abhorrent.

If you have not condemned the toxic and vile anti-Jewish hatred of the now infamous Laith Marouf, you have no credibility whatsoever to speak on antisemitism, incl the kind coming from elected officials.
Dear Canadian media and politicians:
When you trust Hamas and Al Jazeera as sources of information, you can end up looking stupid.
Unbelievable that the lessons from Al Shifa back in October were not learned.
Or maybe you don’t want to learn them?
Yaser Abu Hilala, former Al Jazeera Arabic managing director & overt supporter of Hamas/the Muslim Brotherhood, has revealed that according to a "Hamas investigation", the Al Shifa Hospital 'rape by IDF troops' allegations were made up, despite Al Jazeera publishing that account.

Or another title for this article: I’m not a Jew. But I’ll tell you what antisemitism is by cherry-picking and quoting marginal voices from the very community that is seeing a spike of hatred directed against it.
This week, the Vancouver city council adopted a definition of antisemitism that’s drawn criticism worldwide, including from progressive Jewish communities. I go into how it undermines both the Palestinian struggle + struggle against antisemitism.
Powerfully emotional moment for me as my son Olivier - currently living in Israel - and I are interviewed together on national TV. It was his first TV interview. As very often happens, he really impressed me. What he sees and hears, every Canadian should hear from him.

“This is the real crux of the problem (…)
Israelis have long expressed willingness to concede land for peace as part of a two-state solution.
But Palestinians have been fixated on a one-state solution “from the river to the sea.””
Intelligence sources (including American sources) confirm: It was a Palestinian rocket, not an Israeli airstrike.
The rocket landed in the parking lot of the hospital, not on the hospital itself.
Lessons: Hamas lies. So does CJPME.

Despite Israeli denials over the bombing of the al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, its claims have not held up to scrutiny. Channel 4 shows that much of Israel's 'evidence' is fraudulent or contradictory, while Al Jazeera finds “no grounds” for the claim of a failed rocket launch.
