Alan Dershowitz, the prominent American lawyer, had a blunt assessment about Canada and the Carney government at a recent pro-Israel gathering in New York.
“We have to understand who our enemies are. And our enemy now is Canada,” he told the Post, at the second annual Rage Against Hate conference, Oct. 27, at Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage.
Canada earned his scorn because of its “recognition of a nonexistent entity,” referring to Palestine, and “not doing enough to combat antisemitism.”
And he noted Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Oct. 16 comments to British podcaster Mishal Husain on her podcast, saying Canada would honour the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and arrest him if he entered Canada.
Should such an arrest occur, Dershowitz vowed, “I will come up to Canada. I will defend Netanyahu, and I will go after everybody who has tried to arrest him.”
The Harvard law professor emeritus and civil liberties advocate was a speaker at the conference, produced by the Israel Law Center, which uses legal action worldwide to fight for the rights of victims of terror, and to seek compensation for violations of international law.
I wonder what Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia would have to say about this?

The mayor and the police say they are on it but no one in the community has any faith they will ever catch the Hamas supporters who run the streets and vandalize at will
This one is again Canadian centric, and weird.
Anastasia Zorchinsky is a Canadian citizen but she was born in Kfar Saba, in central Israel. However, she says in a Nov. 13 video posted on X that the official told her because of the “political conflict we cannot put Israel in your passport.”
Alternatively, she was told she could have indicated her birth country as Palestine, and that Kfar Saba was one of several cities that was allegedly caught by this policy shift, including Jerusalem.
Moreover, Zorchinsky was told this was a country-specific restriction – only affecting Israel.

…Doubting what she was told, Zorchinsky told National Post in an interview, she asked to see the policy supporting the official’s assertion. Then, she says, the employee went away and came back with a few colleagues who told her this change came about because Canada has recognized a state of Palestine?
She was also told there was an online list of the cities caught by the policy change.
Zorchinsky asked for a policy document that laid out the officials’ assertion. They provided nothing. “She (the passport employee) just said this without any support, no policy document. It was clear something was off.” Ultimately, the passport officials backed down and told her it was okay to designate Israel as her birth country.
“If I had just submitted my application, who knows what would have happened?” she asserts.
