Guy arrested for plotting with genocidal Islamist terror group *immediately released.*
But don’t worry. There were conditions. The would-be terrorist was told not to commit any acts of terrorism. So all good.

Jewish Federation of British Columbia mourns the tragic loss of four Canadian soldiers at CFB Wainwright. We are especially heartbroken by the loss of Aidan Goulding, z״l, of North Vancouver, a member of our Jewish community whose life was taken far too soon.

A French woman says that the rioters and looters broke into her building and threatened her with rape while she was holding her child in her arms.
“That’s collateral damage” responds the feminist activist Bettina Zourli who holds a Master’s in gender studies and focuses her work on gender norms, motherhood, reproductive rights, and voluntary childlessness (“childfree”)
She describes herself as “feminist, childfree and Antifa”
Zourli also says that all the stores getting looted also constitute a case of collateral damage and that the revolution, which she supports, must be violent.
She has lectured in gender studies, including at the University of Lille and Université Rennes.

BREAKING: An extremist Palestine supporter just carried out Australia's first attempted political assassination in thirty years.
Radical left-wing terrorist and Houthi supporter Brendan Nugent rammed independent MP Helen Haines with his car, shattering her lower body and critically injuring her. She will probably lose both her legs and could still die of critical injuries.
Pray for Helen's recovery. She is actually a progressive MP who spoke out for Gaza, yet the crazy terrorist still targeted her.

BREAKING: I broke the story and got it right, the man who tried to assassinate an Australian MP yesterday was a radical Palestine activist.
You can find his Twitter at @NotLaoTzu, his last post 24 hours ago was attacking Israel.
Hello guys, I did some digging.
Registration for the car that hit Australian MP Helen Haines: XCK 017.
Car appears to be owned by Brendan Nugent, a radical leftist anti-Israel Houthi supporter.
His handle is @NotLaoTzu

These two teenage boys may have killed me. They were, after all, planning to carry out a suicide bombing at a Jewish event I attended here in Ottawa. Because of this, I remember the case quite clearly.
What this article leaves out is the fact that the parents of these youth helped radicalize them — but they'll face no criminal charges or consequences. One of the fathers involved, for instance, who is from Iraq, made appalling social media posts about "Zionists" and Jews, suggesting that all Israelis should be murdered.
It's a good thing both of these terrorists will spend some time behind bars, but they won't be in there forever, and the households they return to will likely remain cesspools of Islamic extremism. We need to get serious about addressing the root cause here. Right now, we're playing jihadi Whack-a-Mole, and that can only do so much, for so long. An absolutely horrifying case — but it won't be the last.

This past weekend, following news that Ukrainian forces destroyed a key Russian data centre, anti-Israel online content reportedly declined sharply. The development raises questions about the extent to which the demonization of Israelis is amplified by coordinated campaigns with links to hostile foreign regimes.
Now, as reported by @mindingottawa , the Canadian connection to anti-Israel online content and bots is facing greater scrutiny. The anti-Israel website The Canada Files has registered with the Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner after accepting sponsored content from China.
These developments underscore warnings from Canadian security experts: foreign actors and extremists are exploiting grievances over Israel to fuel radicalization, spread antisemitism, and potentially incite acts of terrorism on Canadian soil.

Why does feminist Gender Based Analysis apply to the assessment of major projects in Canada, but not to the policy of keeping convicted foreign rapists on our streets?
A man ordered to be deported from Canada has not been removed, and the reason is written into his immigration status.
He fled Eritrea in 2017, was smuggled through Egypt, Israel and one or more European countries, then flew to Canada where undisclosed parties sponsored him as a refugee in 2018. Within a year he was committing sexual assaults. Since then he has built a lengthy criminal record and a long string of media reports about his repeated release from custody.
He is considered a high-risk offender and has been ordered deported, but courts have barred his removal because conditions in Eritrea are described as volatile, though not war-torn, and he is officially a "protected person". Offences like his are punishable by up to 10 years in prison for a regular Canadian, yet he has served just months. His latest interaction with the justice system came in August 2026. He continues to reside in Guelph, Ontario.
The reason he has not been removed is his "protected person" designation, which courts have cited in barring his return to Eritrea.
Should a person's refugee status affect whether they can be deported after repeated violent offences?

OK so to be clear, you made no public comment about the UK grooming gang revelations. Given your work on sexual violence including your child & family critical role — why not?
Hi @amboultbee I applaud your commitment to the safety of all children.
Could you point us to your public response to the UK grooming gangs inquiry?
Being a survivor doesn’t give you a license to hate
I am a survivor of sexual violence. So when I say that Katy Merrifield’s defence of her Islamophobic posts is hot garbage, I’m not saying it from a distance.
In June, the BC Conservatives’ campaign director responded to a UK inquiry into child sexual exploitation with a post that, as CBC reported, read “F–k Islam. Defend Western civilization.” She has not, according to the National Council of Canadian Muslims, apologized or acknowledged the pain it caused.
Whatever she says drove it, whether rage about abused children or her own pain, here is the problem.
That post isn’t aimed at a perpetrator. It is aimed at almost 2 billion people, the global Muslim population.
I know what rage at abusers feels like. Anger at people who hurt children is righteous. But righteous anger has a target, and the target is the people who did the harm and the institutions that let them get away with it. A faith is not a perpetrator. A Muslim family in Surrey or Prince George did not groom anyone in a UK town. Targeting them because of it is bigotry, plain and simple.
Collective blame is a tool we use only against the people we’ve already decided are suspect. That isn’t a moral position. It’s prejudice dressed up as protectiveness.
It’s also an insult to survivors, like me.
My trauma and other survivors is not a blank cheque that Katy can cash for her politics. When Katy uses abused children or her own abuse as cover for contempt toward a minority, she makes their pain a prop.
Katy’s rage does not protect a single child, or woman. It only makes Muslim kids in this province feel hunted, in a province where the NCCM says Islamophobia is already rising, with vehicles driven at people, imams attacked and mosques vandalized.
Merrifield isn’t a random commenter. She runs the campaign of a major party in a provincial election. Jenny Kwan has called for her removal, and the party recently dropped a candidate over his comments about Muslims. You can’t fire the candidate and keep the director who posted this. That’s not accountability. It’s a double standard.
Giving Katy the maximum benefit of the doubt here- she still can’t stay in her role because she lacks the discernment necessary to lead.
The test is simple. If she’s genuinely sorry, and genuinely cares about children, she can say so: “I was wrong to blame a whole faith.”
One sentence.
And her resignation.
Until then, her pain doesn’t excuse her post.
Mine wouldn’t excuse mine either.

Katy is a person of the utmost integrity, a fierce champion for the safety of women and girls, and someone who judges others on the content of their character — nothing else. The bad-faith attacks are coming from people who fear her skill as a campaigner. #bcpoli
As a woman and a rape survivor, I was brought to tears reading the horrific accounts of the UK grooming gang scandals. Young girls were subjected to unimaginable sexual abuse, while authorities at multiple levels failed to protect them.
I was heartbroken, horrified, and angry. I abhor the people who perpetuated that violence justified by their extremist ideology.
I took down my original post within hours because my anger was directed at the extremism used to justify these horrific crimes, not at Muslims or their faith.

Three years ago, on October 7, 2023, we woke up to horrific images from Israel as Hamas terrorists carried out the deadliest attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, recording and live-streaming their crimes.
More than 1,200 people were murdered, including Canadians, thousands were injured, and more than 200 were kidnapped and dragged into Gaza as hostages.
Today, we remember every innocent life stolen, in particular, 22-year-old Vancouverite Ben Mizrachi, a graduate of King David High School who was attending the Nova music festival. A trained medic, Ben stayed to help the wounded as terrorists attacked. He was murdered trying to save others.
But three years later, British Columbians must also confront what October 7 exposed here at home.
The networks that sympathize with, glorify and in some cases support terrorist movements are not confined to the Middle East. They have been organizing and fundraising in Canada, including right here in British Columbia.
Samidoun should be a wake-up call for every Canadian.
For years, the organization operated openly in Vancouver. Its international coordinator lived here. It organized demonstrations here. Its activists praised Hamas and celebrated October 7 here.
The Government of Canada ultimately listed Samidoun as a terrorist entity because of its links to and support for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, itself a listed terrorist organization. FINTRAC has since described Samidoun as a sham charity that served as an international fundraiser for the PFLP.
Then Canadians saw where this ideology leads.
At a Samidoun rally on Vancouver streets, a Canadian flag was burned, a speaker declared "we are Hezbollah and we are Hamas," and protesters chanted "Death to Canada, Death to the United States and Death to Israel."
Their hatred does not begin and end with Israel.
Vancouver and British Columbia have become places where people sympathetic to these movements can organize, raise money, recruit support and attempt to legitimize their ideology.
We cannot pretend this is somebody else's problem.
We need to know where money is being raised and where it is going. We need to know who our governments, universities and public institutions are funding and partnering with. Not one taxpayer dollar or ounce of institutional legitimacy should go to organizations connected to terrorism, terrorist financing or the glorification of political violence.
To British Columbia's Jewish community: you are not alone. You should never have to hide a Star of David, fear attending synagogue or worry about sending your children to a Jewish school.
As leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, I am committed to rooting this dangerous and hateful ideology out of our province's institutions, root and stem, while protecting the lawful rights and freedoms of every British Columbian.
October 7 showed us what this ideology is capable of. The three years since have shown us that those who celebrate and support it can exist much closer to home than Canadians wanted to believe.
Today, we remember Ben Mizrachi and every innocent person murdered on October 7.
May their memories be a blessing

For 47 years, the clerical military dictatorship of Iran has exported state terror as statecraft. Nuclear ambitions. Exporting terrorism. Human rights atrocities.
Three years ago today, on October 7, the world witnessed where this network of terror leads. The regime built the biggest terror base in the history of the world in Gaza, their proxies committing horrific mass murder and the largest mass hostage event in modern times.
We remember those who were killed, those who were taken, and all lost and living souls since that day. May their memory be a blessing.
And may their memory forever deepen our resolve to confront the terrorists who carried it out and the networks that sustain them.
Canada cannot be a safe haven for the IRGC and regime officials. We must go after the shadow banks, shipping networks and commercial interests that sustain this regime, and hold accountable those with blood on their hands.
The Iranian people are heirs to an ancient civilization, not to the darkness this regime has imposed upon them. Their freedom deserves the solidarity of Canadians and freedom loving people everywhere.

NEW: Haverford Professor Guangtian Ha
has been arrested and charged with cyberstalking a Jewish colleague.
Posing as a MAGA anon on X, he allegedly messaged another Haverford professor around 50 times between October 2025 and May 2026.
In addition to posting vile antisemitic messages (see below), he allegedly posted his colleague’s “home address, infant child's name, a photograph of the family's mailbox, countless antisemitic slurs and threats, and reference to real-time observation of their home.”
The target’s wife twice moved out of the home with their three children because they were so terrified.
Ha is a member of Faculty for Justice in Palestine.
He has called complaints about antisemitism on campus “Zionist witch hunts.”
Originally from China, he is an associate professor of religion at Haverford who studies Islam in China.
He holds a PhD in anthropology from Columbia. His dissertation is entitled, “Religion of the Father: Islam, Gender, and Politics of Ethnicity in Late Socialism.”
He won the 2023 Clifford Geertz Prize in the Anthropology of Religion for his book, The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China.
He is “charged with one count of cyberstalking pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
2261A(2). The statutory maximum for cyberstalking is five years' imprisonment, three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment.”
Here are some of the messages he posted (brace yourself):
“Jew, get the fuck out of my country”
“Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion”
“If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special camps and receive special treatments”
“LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons.”
“@[Victim 1] Eliminate the
jewish cockroaches. Exterminate the jewish state. [Victim 1], you will have nowhere to go. Your family has no future in the US. Give it another 10 years, and you shall see a true holocaust.”
“@[Victim 1] Fat jew, leave lower merion.”
“@[Victim 1] Jew, watch your [Victim I's minor son's true name]. There shall be a sign.”
After the victim took security precautions: “@[Victim 1] The goyim have woken up, jew. Run. Flee. Leave. Blurring your home on google map and installing a security camera next to your mailbox won't help.”
“[Victim 1], the jewish state will stop existing, whether you like it or not, which is why as an Israeli zio jew you want to recreate america in 'iSrAeL's' image. This won't work. You and your family have no future here. Homeless dogs jews will once again become, if you do survive.”
“That's right[Victim 1]The end of American jews is close. Let's start with the jews in Lower Merion. Watch out jewish nigga.”
“[is] that blood, [Victim 1]? We know jews are blood-sucking demons. Only the libtard niggas [...] will protect you. But soon we are going to make sure you have no place to hide, fat rat.”
“Nothing wrong to hate jews. We started to decline the moment we stopped hating, eradicating and expelling jews. Babylonians knew, the Romans knew, the Spaniards knew. American jews have been exposed. Fuck anti-Zionism. HH [i.e., “Heil Hitler”].”
Haverford College has placed Ha on administrative leave and barred him from campus. His information has been wiped from the college’s website.
