@BearMightyMon @kinsellawarren You would execute them? For what? Se you serious? Is this why you defend killing babies?

@kinsellawarren Warren you are an ally, but you are also a coddled little man who really doesn't understand the mindset of a people who have been murdered and attacked for 2000 years. If it was me I would execute every one of the flotilla cunts and then guess what.. NO MORE FLOTILLAS EVER

I stand with Israel and Israelis. I think the flotilla people are complete morons. But this is appalling and it plays into the hands of Israel's enemies. I'm glad that Netanyahu has condemned it. timesofisrael.com/ben-gvir-posts…

@kinsellawarren Rather be a moron than a baby killer. Netanyahu is part of the problem. He’s a war criminal.

@mdubowitz What does being Jewish have to do with wanting all parties to respect international law?

Carney can’t protect Jewish Canadians from an antisemitism surge his party enabled through uncontrolled immigration. He lectures about international law, but won’t clearly condemn Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on civilians—including cluster munitions. And after years of underinvestment, Canada still talks bigger in NATO than it delivers. Oh Canada.

@MarkJCarney Why would you do that? He had nothing to do with the launch. He does have everything to do with the “developments in the Middle East conflict” AKA STARTING AN ILLEGAL WAR

Earlier this evening I spoke with President Trump and congratulated him on the successful launch of Artemis II.    We discussed the courage of the astronauts, including Colonel Jeremy Hansen, the value of cooperation in space, and developments in the Middle East conflict.

@KnightLegg The customers who complained are the market….

The CEO of Air Canada is gone - and the Board got the PMs message: Canada is a place where the market must constantly bow to the whims of the govt. No matter how ridiculous the govt becomes about what it wants or why….

@dannydanon It’s hard to believe anyone is actually this clueless

During a Security Council session, I sounded a siren with a 15-second timer and asked the ambassadors to imagine the reality in Israel: "Imagine you have 3 children and 15 seconds to run to a shelter. Which child do you take first?"

@dannydanon Now imagine the reality in Gaza where there were no shelters.

@VivianBercovici @BryanPassifiume @CBCNews @brodiefenlon @ianhanomansing cbc.ca/news/world/ira…

You have less than no integrity @CBCNews @brodiefenlon @ianhanomansing Two weeks of protests in Iran and you report nothing. “Difficult to verify?” Jokers, you are. Call the Hamas press office. You have always placed boundless confidence in them. They’ll gladly confirm the BS coming from “official” Tehran. How stupid do you think we are? And. Seriously. How stupid are you???

@VivianBercovici @BryanPassifiume @CBCNews @brodiefenlon @ianhanomansing cbc.ca/news/world/ira…

@KahaneWasRight2 @KevinVuongxMP Iranians are mostly Jewish?

@KevinVuongxMP You're bang on Kevin. The Free Palestine idiots are 100% Jew haters. Plain and simple.

Where are the marches for these brave women & the courageous people of Iran? Why don’t they want to stand with her? Why don’t “Free Palestine” protesters want to #FreeIran from the oppressive, murderous, and misogynistic Islamic regime?

@MarkJCarney You’re supporting an illegal act of aggression which violates international law because Trump wants oil. You’re disgusting. He’s coming for you next.

One of the first actions taken by Canada’s new government in March 2025 was to impose additional sanctions on Nicolás Maduro’s brutally oppressive and criminal regime — unequivocally condemning his grave breaches of international peace and security, gross and systematic human rights violations, and corruption. Canada has not recognised the illegitimate regime of Maduro since it stole the 2018 election. The Canadian government therefore welcomes the opportunity for freedom, democracy, peace, and prosperity for the Venezuelan people. Canada has long supported a peaceful, negotiated, and Venezuelan-led transition process that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people. In keeping with our long-standing commitment to upholding the rule of law, sovereignty, and human rights, Canada calls on all parties to respect international law. We stand by the Venezuelan people’s sovereign right to decide and build their own future in a peaceful and democratic society. Canada attaches great importance to resolution of crises through multilateral engagement and is in close contact with international partners about ongoing developments. We are first and foremost ready to assist Canadians through our consular officials and our embassy in Bogotá, Colombia, and will continue to support Venezuelan refugees.

@markstrahl Yes and I am here for all of it!

Michael Ma floor crossing guide: Wed: attend caucus, participate in voluntary secret Santa, go to CPC party without paying, saying “I’ll get you tomorrow”. Dance with CPC MPs. Get family photo with Pierre. Thurs: 3:15pm vote with CPC in the House. 6:00pm cross the floor, attend Liberal Christmas party. Super normal behaviour that doesn’t raise any questions at all.

@BriannaWu how Trump operates so yeah, if people don’t see anything wrong with that, they likely also support Israel.

@BriannaWu What could possibly be off about the judgment of people who have no issue with the murder of hundreds of journalists, the repeated violations of international law, the gratuitous bombing of children, the cold-blooded murder of Hind Rajab…. Actually all of this sounds similar to

Supporting Israel is literally the world’s easiest call. In fact, if you can’t see why you should support Israel, I literally cannot trust your judgement on anything else.

@YossiBenYakar I refer you to Matthew 25: 31-46. He IS Palestinian, not he WAS Palestinian.

Is there anything these people don’t steal? Now they’re claiming Jesus was Palestinian — holding signs in a Christmas mall display, trying to rewrite history itself. Jesus was born in Bethlehem — a Jewish city in Judea. He wasn’t “Palestinian.” He was a Jew. How far will this distortion of history go?

@myviews2share @HenMazzig It’s more harmful to have pro-Israel propaganda.

@HenMazzig As mayor he will also impact what is taught in the schools. The anti-Israel propaganda will permeate everything. The harm will be incalculable.

I am not worried about Zohran Mamdani's policy on Israel. He's running for the mayor of NYC, he isn't going to be making policy on Israel. I'm also not going to tell Americans that they can't vote for someone because of their opinion on Israel. He's entitled to whatever opinions he has. But, as mayor of New York, Zohran would be responsible for the safety of Jews, and I don't think he's up to the task. Antisemitism has increased drastically since October 7th. In New York City alone, antisemitic hate crimes made up 54% of all hate crimes. For a little perspective, there were around 345 hate crimes that targeted Jews in 2024. The next highest category of hate crimes was against queer people, of which there were 78 hate crimes committed. Antisemitism is becoming a massive problem, and Mamdani doesn't take it seriously at all.

@arobin0888 @HenMazzig Exactly, but if often gets reported as a hate crime.

@HenMazzig Seeing a ‘free Palestine’ poster is not an antisemitic attack.

@HenMazzig I want to see the details of those incidents, because hate crime “stats” are often manipulated and can be misleading.
