    Hamas attacks Israel

    Good morning…& for balance…Approximately 50 members of Congress chose to boycott Netanyahu’s address. Their absence spoke volumes about their alignment in the conflict with the Iranian-axis, rather than about Netanyahu or Israel. America’s unwavering alliance with Israel, both staunch defenders...

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    Last week’s tiny cabinet change did nothing to appease those in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s caucus who think a broader shuffle of key government ministers would help save the Liberal party from electoral defeat.

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Is this a belief system enforced by federal law in Israel? Is it mandatory? Compulsory? Morality police imprisoning those that don’t kowtow to this sect? Threats? Fines? Beatings? Stoning?

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Israel has been recognized as a nation by the UN since 1949, & still about 30 nations don’t recognize it. Just curious, but I wonder who paid for this independent review? How independent? Was it the UN reviewing UNRWA or something else? Lots of conflicting narrative on both sides of this.
