🚨 Did you miss our latest webinar? Watch it NOW!!! In the months since October 7, antisemitism has surged across Canada and the Western world – on campuses, in the streets, and across media and public institutions. At the same time, there’s an increasing sense that the frameworks we have relied on to understand and combat it are no longer working. What exactly are we confronting? Why does the response so often feel inadequate or misdirected? How can we make a difference – or can we? Is it time to enact a form of strategic abandonment? To explore these questions, we were joined by Bret Stephens, opinion columnist at The New York Times and editor-in-chief of SAPIR. The conversation was moderated by Jonathan Kay, editor, author, and podcaster at Quillette. Known for his thoughtful and probing style, Jonathan guided a discussion that moved beyond the obvious, to examine the deeper cultural, political, and intellectual dynamics at play. Importantly, this discussion examined how these dynamics are unfolding here in Canada. As antisemitism rises, questions are being raised about institutional responses, political will, and the broader implications for social cohesion, democratic norms, and public trust. What does it mean when a society struggles to clearly identify and respond to a form of hatred that has historically been so well understood? Have we truly left ‘the golden age for the Jews’ behind? As policymakers, journalists, and the public grapple with these issues, this webinar will provide critical insight into not only what is happening, but what it means for the future of the Jewish people, public discourse, and the integrity of our institutions.

Recently, the Islamic Republic of Iran was nominated for a position on the UN committee that helps shape policy and direction on human rights, women’s rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. And while Canada officially calls Iran a state sponsor of terrorism, we did NOTHING to stop their terror regime from playing a pivotal role in creating policy decisions at the UN.

🚨 Police are supposed to protect the public, uphold Canadian values, and keep our streets safe. But for two years, Toronto Police have turned a blind eye as a hostile minority of terrorist supporters take over Toronto’s streets, with almost zero consequences. Our Digital Director, (((Rick Firth))) גבריאל חיים 🎗️, breaks it all down…

Israel’s precision strikes shattered Iran’s nuclear assets and leadership in a bold, coordinated blow. With minimal civilian toll, even Iranians took notice. But will the news media dare to admit it? Our Digital Director, @rickfirth, digs deeper ⤵️

On July 13, the The New York Times published a lengthy exposé on Hamas’ tactics in its war with Israel. Among the revelations: Hamas’ use of Gaza civilian infrastructure, how its terrorists use civilian clothing, and perhaps most unsettling of all: its use of children. The question must be asked: When will the Canadian news media start telling the truth about Hamas terrorists? Our Digital Director, (((Rick Firth))) גבריאל חיים 🎗️ digs deeper ⤵️

🚨 This week, HR Canada Charitable published a 100-page report, backed by the same team that released the Asserson Report on the BBC, to examine CBC News' coverage of the Hamas-Israel war over a 20-month period. The results are damning as they showcase an overwhelming narrative imbalance of the Hamas-Israel war, which minimizes and abstracts Israeli and Jewish experiences while privileging Palestinian perspectives and views. Listen to (((Rick Firth))) גבריאל חיים 🎗️ explain and please share! FOR THE FULL REPORT, PLEASE VISIT ________________________- Key Report Findings The HRCCO Report outlines several key findings relating to coverage of the Israel-Hamas war: • Israeli Civilian Erasure: Coverage of Israeli civilian suffering or the Israeli experience in general dropped sharply after December 2023, falling to nearly zero for the remainder of the conflict. • Narrative Imbalance: CBC’s coverage humanizes Palestinian suffering through individualized, emotionally rich portrayals and direct quotation, while Israelis—including hostages—are rendered largely invisible as people, and instead portrayed through impersonal, institutional labels like “Israel” or “IDF forces.” • Distortion of Jewish Perspectives: CBC’s coverage of domestic events (encampments, protests, etc), repeatedly elevated visibility of anti-Zionist Jewish organizations that represent a minority of the Jewish community, granting them disproportionate coverage and implicit authority. In many cases, these groups were featured more prominently than mainstream Jewish organizations. FOR THE FULL REPORT, PLEASE VISIT

Why is Anita Anand appearing on Al Jazeera PR? Does she not know that Al Jazeera has long served as more than a media outlet for Hamas, acting as a platform for propaganda, psychological warfare, and anti-Israel messaging? Documents recovered in Gaza by the Israel Defense Forces reveal systematic coordination between Hamas and the network, including editorial guidance and direct communication channels. The documents also showed that several Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza were operatives in Hamas, with some participating in the October 7, 2023, terror attacks inside Israel. So again, why is Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister lending credibility to this network by appearing on it? More on the connection between Hamas and Al Jazeera:

🚨 For decades, Iran has armed and directed terror groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis—each bent on Israel’s destruction. But after Hamas’s brutal October 7 attack, Israel fought back hard. While the world called for restraint, Israel dismantled its enemies—and stood stronger for it. It's time Canadian news media stopped ignoring the truth: Israel has every right to defend itself from genocidal regimes. ⤵️

Following the daring Israeli rescue of four hostages on June 8 from Hamas captivity in Gaza, some of their experiences have been shared, including instances of severe physical and psychological abuse. But will these new revelations make the news media finally expose the real face of Hamas? Our Digital Director, (((Rick Firth))) גבריאל חיים 🎗️ dives deeper...

🚨 This is Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian 'activist' who leads the group 'Montreal4Palestine' and who took part in the 'student' anti-Israel walk-out today at Concordia University University. He also harassed and attempted to intimidate a Jewish student on campus, using an appalling homophobic slur, calling him a "F**king F**got". This is unadulterated hate and we encourage everyone to report this incident directly to the Police Montréal hate crimes division:

CBC’s “Balance” Is a Sham — Especially on Israel. CBC News Editor-in-Chief, Brodie Fenlon, claims that the network offers “360-degree” coverage, but when it comes to Israel, that claim falls flat. CBC routinely amplifies Hamas talking points and quotes anti-Israel extremists. Meanwhile, Israeli voices—official or otherwise—are ignored, downplayed, or outright vilified. This isn’t journalism. It’s narrative manipulation funded by your tax dollars. Our Digital Director, (((Rick Firth))) גבריאל חיים 🎗️, explains ⤵️

📽️October 7, 2023 was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, when thousands of Hamas terrorists (and ‘civilians’ from Gaza) invaded Israel and carried out a horrific rampage of massacres. The world MUST not forget Hamas’ crimes, nor can they ever be forgiven. ⤵️

Want the #TLDR on the Iran/Israel conflict and its history? Watch this ⤵️ The current conflict in the Middle East didn’t begin on October 7, 2023—it’s the latest chapter in a decades-long campaign of terror driven by Iran’s extremist regime. Now, as the regime races toward nuclear weapons, Israel is taking action to stop the world’s most dangerous regime from becoming untouchable.

For the entire duration of the Hamas-Israel war, Hamas and its apologists in the West accused Israel of committing a “famine” in Gaza. But as 3 Israeli hostages were released on February 8, having been clearly starved, the media should take note of what starvation actually looks like.

🚨 CUPE Ontario has crossed the line. Once a union for workers, it’s now a megaphone for radical anti-Israel propaganda—and worse. Under Fred Hahn's leadership, it has cheered Hamas terrorism, amplified antisemitic content, and pushed Jewish members to the margins. It’s time for Canada’s media and public institutions to stop legitimizing this toxic organization.

EXCUSE ME, WHAT CTV News? It defies reason that CTV News Vancouver's anchor would recklessly peddle as fact the grotesque falsehood that Israel is waging a ‘genocidal campaign against the people of Palestine’ and that ‘millions of Palestinians… continue to starve.’ This isn’t journalism—it’s literal Hamas propaganda dressed up as news. This demands an immediate correction!
