Who won? Who knows. Great discussion today with @yaakovkatz on @StateofTLV about the Israeli election outcome. Like a Rohrschach test - you can see whatever result you want. Make it make sense!!!

Only in 🇮🇱!
Ahead of tomorrow’s elections, Israeli service providers have replaced their network names with a simple message: “GO VOTE”.
A creative reminder that every vote matters.

You are so full of crap @MarkJCarney
Turkey. A real economic powerhouse. Super sophisticated economy. What’s the per capita GDP? You crap on the US and grovel to Turkey. Genius.

All the “leftist anarchists” are gathering in @stateoftlv to show support for election of a new govt in 🇮🇱 on Tuesday….that will support a State Commission of Inquiry. @OctoberCouncil makes it happen. 🔥
We will never forget. Never.

40 years ago today, Amal and Hezbollah jihadists abducted Israeli airman Ron Arad.
40 years of unanswered questions. 40 years of longing. 40 years of a family waiting.
Time has not erased his memory, nor weakened our commitment.
Ron Arad has not been forgotten.
We will never stop fighting to bring him home. 🇮🇱

You are not being truthful @MarkJCarney
It’s remarkable how you can speak so detachedly about the manner in which you have thrown Canadian Jews to the wolves.
You say that all your brilliant new legislation will give your government the tools it needs to properly manage rampant, unchecked Jew hatred. But you know that is not true. There are plenty of laws on the books that your government seems to prefer not to enforce. It’s only when 🇨🇦 was seen and remarked upon as a disgrace internationally….as one of the most robust Jew hating western countries in the world…..that you turned to your bureaucrats and pretended that porous legislation was the problem. It’s not. You and your views and policies are the problem.
Your contempt for the state of Israel is a problem. Your adulation for and fawning over Qatar. The PA…..those are problems. Your clear signals that there’s nothing wrong in how 🇨🇦 handles its “Jewish question.” Your fixation on pretending that Jews are harassed, perhaps, at synagogues but seeming to think that going to and from synagogue was the beginning and end of the issue. Your twisted compulsion to constantly slip in “Islamophobia” whenever Jew hatred comes up. Your refusal to comprehend or articulate that the anti Zionism so prevalent in your caucus and emboldened throughout Canada….your refusal to say it: Antizionism….is antisemitism. Period. And saying so does not mean that the Govt of 🇮🇱 is immune from criticism. Don’t worry, Mark. We all know how much you get off on pillorying 🇮🇱. You can still do that.
And you fooled no one with your shameful theatrics at Holy Blossom. Whoever is advising you on comms sucks. YOU APPOINTED OMAR ALGHABRA TO A COMMITTEE MEANT TO MONITOR AND ADDRESS JEW HATRED!!!! How stupid do you think we are?!? Oh. And of course…..your court Jew. There’s always one prepared to sell out his people. Wondering if they’ve managed to hold a second meeting yet, that crew. I mean…they sure don’t seem to feel any urgency.
Stop the BS, Mark. Much better to own the views you espouse. We all remember your Calgary shout out well….you know…..that time when you pretended you couldn’t hear well? When you jocularly agreed with the “G” accusation?
“Thank you, Diana…..I’m well aware.”
Wink wink.
You may have your issues with Israel and Jews, Mark. But we’re pretty smart. And resourceful.
Just ask the plumber. You know. On Fly Dubai.
Oh. And before I go…..we’d all love an update on how the election planning by Abbas and the PA is going. Remember? You recognized the State of Palestine in a hurry…..cuz you and Abu Mazen sorted out all the issues in the conflict in a one hour call.
Well….???
"This is a sombre anniversary of an unspeakable tragedy. The govt has been taking actions at home to protect the Jewish community, protect all Canadians but particularly the Jewish community," says PM Carney, marking 3 years since the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attacks in Israel.

Did @piersmorgan read the @IDF report on “journalists” in Gaza doubling as Hamas and PIJ operatives?
🤷♀️
But didn’t stop him from trashing it.
@jconricus has harsh words for Piers and suggests he “take a pause” and think before lashing out.

My latest: On the Belleville synagogue shooting in 🇨🇦. There is a direct link between the freedom given to the “Free Palestine” activists in 🇨🇦 to incite hatred and violence targeting Jews…and what happened in Belleville. And this has become the new normal in 🇨🇦. Shooting up of Jewish schools, synagogues…? Pretty regular now. Incitement of hatred targeting Jewish community centres? Businesses? Neighbourhoods? No big deal.
Law enforcement and PM @MarkJCarney encourage and embolden Jew hatred by doing nothing to stop it.
Belleville was an attack on Jews going to synagogue services. It was not an attack on 🇮🇱

35 years ago I arrived on American soil, a friendless legal alien. This is me on the White House South Lawn, flags of the Abraham Accords nations flying above — a Muslim woman, American citizen, physician, standing where history was made. America gave me citizenship and something far greater: BELONGING. I am not a guest in America’s story. I am America, and America is me - so too YOU. Happy 250th. God Bless the USA. ❤️🇺🇸 #America250 #July4th #AbrahamAccords

Finally, a cause for which it is justified to block roads and get arrested. “Stop Lemon Wafers!”

I recently returned from a speaking tour in beautiful Canada with the Canadian Friends of JNF. Was overwhelmed with the strength and love that Jews and non-Jews have for Israel, and the great work done by CFoJNF. But I’m also deeply worried about where Canada is going.
.@jconricus: Canada is prioritizing Muslims and Islamists over its local, loyal Jewish population.

Oh, look!!! It's not just @Carleton_U that provides scholarships to men from the middle east of questionable backgrounds and merit......
For those of you wondering - a 41 year old PhD student from Iran - who is thought to possibly be studying (on scholarship from Carleton U in Ottawa) to add to IRGC knowledge of various aspects of nuclear, you know, stuff - was recently exposed. He had been flagged by @csiscanada as someone being worth a second look.
Guess what?
A 41 year old PhD student? in nuclear physics? Right - that alone raises red flags.
What's going on there at Carleton? Canada? Anyone?
STUNNING: USAID + THE BIG GRIFT
Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist.
Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept. when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico.
Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ's Yemen affiliate.
Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ's cause.
Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.
This 1997 Aulaqi mugshot is for soliciting prostitutes.

My latest in the national Post: 🇨🇦 PM Mark Carney spits in the face of Canadian Jews. Because he is an Islamist. It’s not complicated.

Please explain to the world @MarkJCarney why this crowd of Islamists is permitted to occupy critical federal infrastructure….@TorontoPearson airport….and use it as a stage for pro Hamas “expression.”
Try to imagine if this was, I dunno, a bunch of Jooz calling for the murder and annihilation of all Palestinians. As if your hair would not be on 🔥 in a New York minute.
Daniela Bonamico leads a “Death Death To The IDF” chant inside @TorontoPearson Airport.
Calling for the death of others inside an airport.
Not even the airports in Canada are safe for Israelis or Jews @FAANews.
