My latest: the NDP’s shame

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

That that’s how the saying goes. When it comes to Sarah Jama, it applies.

Jama is (unfortunately for her party) a New Democrat. She is also (unfortunately for the rest of us) an actual member of the provincial legislature.

It’s pretty hard to give Jama credit for anything, but credit where credit’s due: She’s never really hidden what she truly is, which is a bigot. Which is, too, someone who maintains a deep and visceral loathing of Israel — and the people mostly found there. The Jews.

Here’s just a small sampling of some of the things that NDP MPP Sarah Jama has said and done about Israel and Jews — and, for good measure, police.

— Jama has said, many times, that Israel is “an apartheid state.” Given the fact that Israel has Palestinians in its military and legislature and judiciary, it’s not a very effective apartheid state, is it?

— Jama has said that Israel is an “illegitimate” state, and that it funds “the killing of people here, locally, and globally.” She’s offered no proof of any of that, of course. But there is plenty of proof that the myriad Palestinian terrorist groups she often celebrates have killed more than 3,500 Israelis since Israel was founded in 1948, “globally and locally.”

— Perhaps because she doesn’t want the police to feel left out, she has said that police officers “protect Naziism,” and “arbitrarily kill babies.” She has offered no proof of that, either.

This is not an exhaustive list. It also does not include her most recent remarks, published online under NDP letterhead, wherein she again falsely accused Israel of “apartheid,” and — instead of condemning the homicidal cult called Hamas — she attacked the victims, and demanded Israel “end all occupation of Palestinian land and end apartheid.”

Given that Hamas slaughtered hundreds of Israeli men, women, children and babies on Saturday, Jama’s anti-Semitism drew swift condemnation. Multiple Jewish and human rights organizations demanded her ouster from the New Democrat caucus, as did Ontario’s premier and the interim leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.

And, initially, it looked like that might actually happen. Marit Stiles, the purported leader of the provincial NDP, publicly demanded the Jama take down her statement.

She didn’t. She wouldn’t.

Instead, she kept her statement up, and said that she was “reflecting” on her future. She defied her leader and her party.

And, 24 hours later, her leader and her party folded like a cheap suit. They said that Jama’s “apology” — which was a case study in weasel words and conditional language — was sufficient. Everyone move along, nothing to see here, etc.

Except, well, no.

As the past few days have made depressingly clear, Canada has nothing to offer in either a military or strategic sense to Israel and her allies. We have been shut out of any meaningful role in fighting Hamas, principally because of Justin Trudeau’s long-documented performative diplomacy.

So, being a small and increasingly irrelevant country, all that we can really do is provide a good example. But — on the very day that the president of the United States stated that he had seen a video of Israeli babies decapitated by Hamas — the only Canadian example that anyone would remember was that of the Ontario NDP.

That is, to excuse and minimize Jew-hatred and praise for mass murderers.

Regrettably, within the NDP these days, Sarah Jama is not the exception, she is the norm. At all levels, for years, the New Democratic Party has been the political party most often associated with anti-Semitism. There is literally not enough room here to document all of it.

Yes, some Conservative MPs, as was first revealed by this writer, met with a German neo-Nazi. Yes, a Liberal MP invited an actual Nazi to the House of Commons. But in both those cases, the Conservative and Liberal leaders acknowledged that mistakes had been made.

Ontario’s New Democratic Party, and its leader, have not. They let Sarah Jama’s foul statement remain up. They let her remain in their caucus. They let hate win, basically.

Sarah Jama, as noted has always shown us who she is. She has not hidden it.

And, now, we all know what Ontario’s New Democratic Party is like, as well.

Which is just like her.


And I dare you to sue me again, you bastard

On the very day we are seeing photographs of Israeli babies who have been slaughtered, I see this.

I called this “man” a racist and an extremist and a bigot. He sued me. He lost.

He is all of those things and more. He is beneath contempt.


The horror that is beyond words

President Biden: “It’s important that the American people know what happened. I didn’t believe I would ever see a picture of a terrorist beheading children. We verified it.”


I just can’t.

I’ve been listening to CNN and had to pull off the road on the way to the city because I’m too upset to drive.

Those words – “babies beheaded” – are not words I ever thought could be uttered, anywhere, anytime.

We can’t wait for God to avenge this. Retribution must be unrelenting.


My latest: now find out who Israel’s real friends are

There’s an old Hebrew proverb. It goes something like this:

“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”

It’s true. And, this week, we will get to see who really supports Israel, and who doesn’t, won’t we? Now we get to see who is a real friend.

Last week was different. Last week, after Hell opened up and disgorged Hamas serpents spitting death at children and the elderly, the Western world’s social media was full of well-meaning words and images mostly signifying nothing.

Lots of folks tweeted nice words about Israel, and posted nice pro-Israel profile banners on their Facebook pages. Governments shone Israel’s flag on their buildings at night. There were rallies. It was nice.

This week isn’t going to be nice. The coming weeks aren’t going to be nice. So, now, we will get to see who is a real friend of Israel. Now we will get to see if all those well-meaning folks with “Hate Has No Home Here” signs on their lawns really mean it.

Here’s the two main reasons why.

One, some of the highest cell phone usage in the world is found in the Middle East. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics tells us that there are 4.2 million cellular mobile subscriptions in Palestine. In Gaza, as in the West Bank, it’s estimated that 97 per cent of households – no matter how poor – have at least one cellular mobile line.

That’s not an aberration. In places like the UAE or Qatar, smartphone penetration is just about 100 per cent. Canada, in comparison, is slightly less.

Why is all that significant? Because, when Israel sends in ground troops and artillery into Gaza this week – as they must – it is going to be one of the best-documented events in recent human history. It is going to make coverage of the moon landing look like an afterthought.

Hamas is counting on this, of course. There are going to more smart phones pointed at Israel’s soldiers than rifles. Hamas, and their Satanic brethren, wanted to provoke Israel into a disproportionate response to their mass-murder. That’s why they took as many as 150 Israeli hostages, as well: to live-stream their executions, and whip Israel into a frenzy and over-response.

Which they will then document on their ubiquitous cell phones, and beam out to a waiting world.

Which brings us to Reason Number Two. The military response.

The Yom Kippur 2023 attack on Israel, as we have all seen, is being likened to 9/11. For Israel, it was and is a Pearl Harbor moment.

Years ago, when I was last in Israel, I visited the Golan Heights, in the North. Twenty thousand Israelis are there, in about 30 settlements. While there, I heard gunshots. They sounded far away. I asked one of the soldiers I was with what the shooting was about.

He grinned. “They’re shooting at us,” he said, completely blasé. “They’re shooting at you.”

We didn’t get hit, but the episode underlined a simple truth about Israel: it is a small country, where everyone knows someone in the army, or has been in the army. Everywhere I went in the North, I saw soldiers and young people carrying automatic weapons. Many of them looked too young to vote.

Israel, even more than the United States, knows that one does not fund and maintain an army for show. You do so to use it when you have to. And Israel now must.

Cell phones notwithstanding, it must enter Gaza and drive Hamas and its ilk into the sea. It must wipe them off the face of the Earth. It must show no mercy.

These are the two reasons why the coming weeks are going to be bloody and brutal. One, Israel has no choice. And, two, anyone with an Internet connection is going to be seeing what happens.

Friends in good times aren’t friends. Friends when the going gets tough? Those are the real friends.

This week, Jews find out who their real friends are.
