Hamas attacks Israel

The first 200 were intentional but the last 5 were a mistake? OOOOOOOKAAAAAY.
I’m just throwing out a theory. Does it pass the smell test? Don’t know yet, but a whole lot of shit happens due to incompetence in and out of war zones. When was the last time Canadiens were in an active Warzone and Americans didn’t shoot them or bombed them or what have you? It happens. Where this one lays, only time will tell.

Framed as a new category of discrimination against Palestinians, their narratives, and their advocates, APR has been aggressively promoted since 2022 (
), first in Canada and now across North America and Europe. Far from protecting human rights, APR is the latest weapon designed to delegitimize Israel and stigmatize its supporters.
apple.news
Its proponents claim it targets discrimination that “silences, excludes, erases, stereotypes, defames, or dehumanizes Palestinians and their narratives.” In practice, however, APR functions as a tool of political censorship, punishing dissent and suppressing debate.

Unlike the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which has been endorsed by more than 40 nations, the US State Department, and hundreds of universities, APR is not meant to clarify the boundary between legitimate debate and bigotry. The IHRA definition affirms that criticism of Israel is legitimate, but it draws a red line at demonization, double standards, and the denial of Israel’s right to exist. APR does the opposite: It turns nearly any defense of Israel into “racism.”

Call for Gaza’s demilitarization? Racist. Affirm Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state? Racist. Say no genocide is occurring in Gaza or that there was never a state of Palestine? Racist. Cite Palestinian rejectionism, terrorism, or antisemitism? Racist. Wave an Israeli flag or affirm Jewish indigeneity in the Levant? Racist. Under APR, virtually every expression of support for Israel becomes a racist act. This seems so very familiar.
This inversion is not new. In 1975, the United Nations declared Zionism to be racism. In the 2000s, the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement swept across campuses, branding Israel an apartheid state. APR now borrows the language of critical race theory and social-justice activism to recast Zionism itself as structural oppression and racism.
What makes APR especially dangerous is its claim to moral authority. Classical anti-Zionism was political. APR disguises itself as a universal fight against racism, indicting anyone who challenges Palestinian narratives as irredeemably racist. It flips the IHRA playbook on its head, shifting victimhood from Jews under attack to Palestinians portrayed as the sole victims of “racism.”

The timing is revealing. Since Hamas’s October 7 massacre, Jews have been attacked on campuses, in public squares, and on city streets. Yet APR reframes Palestinians as the only victims of racism while treating Jews as oppressors. Proponents dismiss the surge in antisemitism with a shrug, suggesting that “Zionists had it coming.”…& that too seems so very familiar the last year or more too…
The trend is spreading quickly. At York University, APR is formally defined as a “distinct form of racism.” At Stanford and Berkeley, faculty resolutions and student events have labeled opposition to Hamas as “racist.”
apple.news
In city councils from Toronto to Seattle, anti-racism resolutions now include APR while excluding antisemitism. NGOs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations echo this narrative, accusing Israel of “genocide” while cloaking anti-Zionism in the mantle of human rights.
APR also exploits Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion frameworks. While DEI initiatives were meant to address historic injustices, many have been co-opted to portray Zionism as colonialist or privileged. In such environments, defending Jewish identity or Israel’s legitimacy is not a viewpoint but a bias to be corrected.
(If left unchallenged, APR will reshape public discourse, empower hostile NGOs, and normalize antisemitism in schools, governments, and even corporations. Policymakers must act now. Congress, state legislatures, and school boards should ensure anti-racism curricula are not hijacked to advance anti-Israel ideology. Universities should adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism and resist attempts to elevate APR. Civil society must demand equal standards, where Palestinians are held accountable for terror and incitement just as Israelis are for policy decisions)

Why aren't Canadian journalists in Gaza?
Am I? Or you think I am?
Why aren’t there? Are there British or American or Australian journalists in Gaza?
Nope. You're too tall.
During the conflict, Israel imposed strict controls on international journalists, requiring military escorts and pre-broadcast reviews of their footage. In January 2024, the Supreme Court of Israel upheld these requirements on security grounds.
Weird how IDF soldiers can post savage shit on social media without review.

Canadian living in Dubai says she will represent Palestine at Miss Universe pageant

A Canadian woman living in Dubai said she will represent Palestine at this year’s Miss Universe pageant.
Nadeen Ayoub, 27, shared the news on social media earlier this month while wearing an elaborate white and red gown with a Miss Universe Palestine sash.
“I am honoured to share with you that I’ll be representing Palestine at Miss Universe 2025,” she says in a video posted on her social media accounts.
“At a time when the world’s eyes are on our homeland, I carry this role with deep responsibility.
“It’s more than a title; it’s a platform to speak up for the people of Palestine, especially our women and children.”
It is unclear how she was appointed to be the representative of a country that most nations don’t recognize, though no competition appears to have been held, according to the New York Post.
Ayoub, however, is listed as founder and manager of the Miss Palestine Organization, the group behind her title, the outlet reported. The organization only registered its website in May and features black and white photos of Ayoub holding a crown.
Ayoub was born in the U.S., raised in Canada and lives in Dubai, according to the Post. The model and wellness coach reportedly studied English literature and psychology at Western University. She also attended high school in London, Ont., according to her LinkedIn page.
She claimed to have first earned the title of Miss Palestine in 2022, but told United Arab Emirates newspaper The National that she postponed plans to go to Miss Universe after the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks by Hamas.
A spokesperson for the Miss Palestine Organization did not respond to how Ayoub’s appointment came about, but told the outlet: “We’re currently preparing the official materials for Miss Palestine and will share the full details in our upcoming media note once it’s ready.”
Mario Bucaro, vice0president of international relations for the Miss Universe Organization, told the Post that “all applications are carefully reviewed” and evaluated by a commission within the organization.
He did not elaborate on how Ayoub was chosen, but maintained Miss Universe is “an apolitical, inclusive organization.”
“We look forward to seeing Ms. Ayoub on the Miss Universe stage, showcasing the beauty, talent and resilience of her people,” he said.
Ayoub shared that she would be sharing “stories of strength, creativity and hope” throughout her journey through her initiative, Sayidat Falasteen.
“We are more than our struggle, we are women with dreams, talents and a powerful voice to offer the world,” she said in her video reveal.
“This journey is for every single girl who dares to dream beyond the headlines and for every woman shaping a better future despite the odds.
“I am proud to walk this path not just as Miss Palestine, but as a voice for those who deserve to be seen and heard.”
The pageant will be held in Thailand on Nov. 21.

Israel's security cabinet met but did not vote on the IDF's Gaza City takeover plan, with another meeting possibly set for Sunday, a source said. Qatar said Israel does not want to comment on the cease-fire proposal accepted by Hamas last week. U.S. President Trump said he was "not happy" about Israel's strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital, and that he thinks the war will end "in the next two to three weeks." The IDF published findings of an initial inquiry into the strike, stressing that army chief Zamir ordered to further probe into the authorization process. Tens of thousands of Israelis protested for a hostage deal across the country. Germany said it will not recognize a Palestinian state at this time. Lebanon will present a plan on Sunday aimed at persuading Hezbollah to disarm, U.S. envoy Barrack said.

■ HOSTAGES/CEASE-FIRE: Qatar's Foreign Ministry said Israel does not want to comment on the "serious and balanced" cease-fire proposal accepted by Hamas last week, adding that this was despite it being identical to a proposal that Israel had previously agreed to. The ministry said Qatar and Egypt will continue their mediation efforts, and called on the international community to pressure Israel to end the war in Gaza.
U.S. President Trump told reporters on Monday that "I think in the next two to three weeks, you're gonna have a pretty conclusive ending" to the war in Gaza. When asked about the Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital, which killed at least 20, including medical staff and journalists, Trump said he was "not happy about it. I don't want to see it."
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum addressed Trump in a public statement, saying that "you've stated that in the next 2-3 weeks there will be a conclusive ending to the war. We pray this is true and that you gave a deadline to end our suffering."
A meeting of Israel's security cabinet concluded without a vote on the IDF's takeover of Gaza City, a source familiar with the matter said, with another meeting possibly set for Sunday. Ahead of meeting on the occupation of Gaza City, protests calling for a hostage deal and an end to the war in Gaza took place across Israel, including silent vigils, blocking of major roads, and demonstrations outside homes of government ministers.
Idit Ohel, mother of hostage Alon, told Channel 12 News that she feels "like the country is dormant. A citizen who says 'the U.S. administration will do it' or 'the government knows what it's doing' is mistaken. It is in the hands of every citizen … I don't have the privilege of giving up, and no citizen in this country does."
Released hostage Gadi Mozes told Israel's Army Radio that the importance of Tuesday's protests "cannot be overstated. The [security] cabinet meeting is simply illusory. I am not willing to sacrifice anyone on the altar of the messianic ambition of destroying Hamas."
Former IDF chief and opposition lawmaker Gadi Eisenkot told Israel's public broadcaster that Netanyahu's "government is running away from its responsibility and is not worthy of Gal [Eisenkot's son, who was killed fighting in Gaza during the war]… not worthy of many combat soldiers and, unfortunately, also the hostages, who lost their lives because of cowardice, political hesitation, and the political and ideological considerations."
"
■ GAZA: The Hamas-run Health Ministry reported that 75 Palestinians were killed, 17 of them while waiting for humanitarian aid, in Israeli attacks in the last day, and three died from malnutrition. According to the ministry, 62,819 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began.
The IDF published the findings of its initial inquiry into Monday's strike on Nasser Hospital. It said troops "identified a camera that was positioned by Hamas in the area" and "was being used to observe the activity of IDF troops." This conclusion, the IDF said, was supported by "intelligence confirming Hamas' use of the Nasser Hospital to carry out terrorist activities since the start of the war," and that the troops then operated to "remove the threat by striking and dismantling the camera."
The statement said IDF Chief Zamir has ordered a further investigation into the strike's approval process, including the timing and the ammunition used. It also said six of those killed were terrorists, one involved in the October 7 attack on Israel, and added that Zamir "regrets any harm caused to civilians."
Reuters and the Associated Press sent a joint letter to Israeli officials demanding "urgent and transparent accountability" for the strike. The International Committee of the Red Cross in Israel and the Occupied Territories said it was "unacceptable" that "medical personnel, journalists, patients and first responders" were killed as a result of the strike.
Clergy and nuns from two Gaza City churches have decided to stay in their compounds to care for Palestinians seeking shelter ahead of a possible IDF occupation of the city, the Greek Orthodox and Latin Patriarchates of Jerusalem said, adding that many of those taking refuge "are weakened and malnourished," and trying to flee south would be "nothing less than a death sentence."
The UN and other international organizations distributed 330 trucks of aid and 116 aid packages were airdropped into the Strip with the cooperation of several countries, the IDF said, adding that hundreds more trucks are waiting for collection on the Gaza side of two border crossings, and that it allowed UN fuel tankers to enter.
"Shooting at a hospital requires approval from someone with the rank of major general. According to initial IDF inquiries made on Monday, it seems no such approval was granted. The army's response indicates that the shooting was directed at people holding cameras on the roof, and had been seen there several times in recent days. The assumption was that it was a Hamas observation post, which was tracking Israeli troops. But, at the same time, it was known that journalists were working in the hospital area and regularly broadcasting from there. Why didn't anyone connect the dots? The Israeli argument is more difficult to accept convincingly, given the fact that the IDF recently announced that it had intentionally killed media personnel who worked for the Al Jazeera network on the grounds that they were also Hamas operatives.

■ LEBANON: Lebanon will present a plan on Sunday aimed at persuading Hezbollah to disarm, with Israel expected to submit a corresponding framework for its military withdrawal, U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack said after talks with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Beirut. Barrack added the proposal would not involve military coercion, but would focus on efforts to encourage Hezbollah to surrender its weapons, including addressing the economic impact on fighters funded by Iran.

■ HOSTAGES/CEASE-FIRE: Qatar's Foreign Ministry said Israel does not want to comment on the "serious and balanced" cease-fire proposal accepted by Hamas last week, adding that this was despite it being identical to a proposal that Israel had previously agreed to. The ministry said Qatar and Egypt will continue their mediation efforts, and called on the international community to pressure Israel to end the war in Gaza.
U.S. President Trump told reporters on Monday that "I think in the next two to three weeks, you're gonna have a pretty conclusive ending" to the war in Gaza. When asked about the Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital, which killed at least 20, including medical staff and journalists, Trump said he was "not happy about it. I don't want to see it."
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum addressed Trump in a public statement, saying that "you've stated that in the next 2-3 weeks there will be a conclusive ending to the war. We pray this is true and that you gave a deadline to end our suffering."
A meeting of Israel's security cabinet concluded without a vote on the IDF's takeover of Gaza City, a source familiar with the matter said, with another meeting possibly set for Sunday. Ahead of meeting on the occupation of Gaza City, protests calling for a hostage deal and an end to the war in Gaza took place across Israel, including silent vigils, blocking of major roads, and demonstrations outside homes of government ministers.
Idit Ohel, mother of hostage Alon, told Channel 12 News that she feels "like the country is dormant. A citizen who says 'the U.S. administration will do it' or 'the government knows what it's doing' is mistaken. It is in the hands of every citizen … I don't have the privilege of giving up, and no citizen in this country does."
Released hostage Gadi Mozes told Israel's Army Radio that the importance of Tuesday's protests "cannot be overstated. The [security] cabinet meeting is simply illusory. I am not willing to sacrifice anyone on the altar of the messianic ambition of destroying Hamas."
Former IDF chief and opposition lawmaker Gadi Eisenkot told Israel's public broadcaster that Netanyahu's "government is running away from its responsibility and is not worthy of Gal [Eisenkot's son, who was killed fighting in Gaza during the war]… not worthy of many combat soldiers and, unfortunately, also the hostages, who lost their lives because of cowardice, political hesitation, and the political and ideological considerations."

■ GAZA: The Hamas-run Health Ministry reported that 75 Palestinians were killed, 17 of them while waiting for humanitarian aid, in Israeli attacks in the last day, and three died from malnutrition. According to the ministry, 62,819 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began.
The IDF published the findings of its initial inquiry into Monday's strike on Nasser Hospital. It said troops "identified a camera that was positioned by Hamas in the area" and "was being used to observe the activity of IDF troops." This conclusion, the IDF said, was supported by "intelligence confirming Hamas' use of the Nasser Hospital to carry out terrorist activities since the start of the war," and that the troops then operated to "remove the threat by striking and dismantling the camera."
The statement said IDF Chief Zamir has ordered a further investigation into the strike's approval process, including the timing and the ammunition used. It also said six of those killed were terrorists, one involved in the October 7 attack on Israel, and added that Zamir "regrets any harm caused to civilians."
Reuters and the Associated Press sent a joint letter to Israeli officials demanding "urgent and transparent accountability" for the strike. The International Committee of the Red Cross in Israel and the Occupied Territories said it was "unacceptable" that "medical personnel, journalists, patients and first responders" were killed as a result of the strike.
Clergy and nuns from two Gaza City churches have decided to stay in their compounds to care for Palestinians seeking shelter ahead of a possible IDF occupation of the city, the Greek Orthodox and Latin Patriarchates of Jerusalem said, adding that many of those taking refuge "are weakened and malnourished," and trying to flee south would be "nothing less than a death sentence."
The UN and other international organizations distributed 330 trucks of aid and 116 aid packages were airdropped into the Strip with the cooperation of several countries, the IDF said, adding that hundreds more trucks are waiting for collection on the Gaza side of two border crossings, and that it allowed UN fuel tankers to enter.
"Shooting at a hospital requires approval from someone with the rank of major general. According to initial IDF inquiries made on Monday, it seems no such approval was granted. The army's response indicates that the shooting was directed at people holding cameras on the roof, and had been seen there several times in recent days. The assumption was that it was a Hamas observation post, which was tracking Israeli troops. But, at the same time, it was known that journalists were working in the hospital area and regularly broadcasting from there. Why didn't anyone connect the dots? The Israeli argument is more difficult to accept convincingly, given the fact that the IDF recently announced that it had intentionally killed media personnel who worked for the Al Jazeera network on the grounds that they were also Hamas operatives. Anyone who takes responsibility for killing journalists will have a hard time explaining that this time, they did it by accident" – Amos Harel
