The Kars4Kids scandal comes at a difficult time for the genocide lobby & boosts rapidly growing efforts to curtail Canada’s most important contribution to Palestinian dispossession. On The National Friday CBC reported on a legal ruling in California to ban the Kars4Kids jingle for violating false advertising laws. The registered charity operates a car donation service supposedly “to fund educational, developmental, and recreational programs for low-income youth.” In fact, the money is used by an Orthodox Jewish group running camps exclusively for Jewish youth in New Jersey and Israel as well as Middle East lobbying efforts and sending US teenagers to Israel. According to CBC, Kars4Kids Canada transferred $12.6 million to the US and Israel in the 2024-25 fiscal year. In October Just Peace Advocates submitted a formal complaint to the CRA regarding Kars4Kids’ registered charity (Oorah Charitable Organization). It notes that there’s “no indication of any funds to Canadian programs despite advertising suggesting helping children. Donors would expect their donations to be used in Canada and certainly would not expect the funds to go to one religious group.” The submission ads that the “funds going to Israel are not for children but for post-secondary programs” and questions whether they are being used to support illegal West Bank colonies and the Israeli military. The publicity about Kars4Kids comes at an inopportune moment for the genocidal Jewish supremacist lobby. Over the past two weeks they’ve been screaming about how they are victims because there’s been an effort to press the CRA to apply its rules to 11 school charities assisting the Israeli military. In response to a report/email campaign submitted to the CRA calling for an investigation into 11 schools, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, B’nai Brith and others claimed applying the rules would “erase Jewish life in Canada.” Liberal MP Anthony Housefather even stood before Parliament to demand his government intercede to ignore the law. After two weeks of complaining, CIJA instigated an email campaign to the CRA responding to the Just Peace Advocates led report/email campaign. The CIJA letter doesn’t say “don’t investigate charities potentially violating CRA rules”, but that is effectively their message. Instigating such an embarrassing petition campaign suggests CIJA is worried. Have they heard privately that some significant Zionist charities are undergoing a CRA audit? Might they be trying to head off more Zionist groups being added to the growing list of apartheid promoting charities who’ve had their status revoked? A problem for CIJA is that the more people learn about the scope and activities of Zionist charities the more outraged they are. According to charity lawyer Mark Blumberg, there are approximately 1,000 registered Jewish charities in Canada with around $12 billion in assets. Around a quarter of them are focused on assisting projects in the genocidal Jewish supremacist state (there are also some Christian Zionist charities funnelling funds to Israel). Over three hundred million dollars a year in taxpayer subsidized donations go to Israel. A significantly larger sum of money is raised by schools, camps, synagogues and other community organizations that promote the Israeli military and violence against Palestinians, Lebanese, Iranians, etc. In recent days Just Peace Advocates has released information on more charities that should be revoked. On Thursday Ezer Mizion, which aids Israeli soldiers and others affected by war, hosted a genocidaire in Toronto. Ezer Mizion has other direct ties to the IOF despite CRA rules precluding assistance for foreign militaries. Another JPA report pointed out that several charities are linked directly to political parties in Israel and are using their taxpayer subsidized funds to campaign for the racist, colonial, World Zionist Congress. In effect all Canadian taxpayers are subsidizing partisan political activities in contravention of CRA rules. Another recent JPA report points out how B’nai Brith has registered 45 different charities over the decades. A number have been revoked by the CRA while others were voluntarily revoked and still others have failed to file to the CRA. The genocidal apartheid promoting organization currently has 13 registered charities. Dozens, maybe hundreds, of the 1,000 Jewish charities violate existing CRA rules. We need to press the CRA to apply its rules. But anti-racists, internationalists and anyone concerned about public spending should also be considering changes to the Income Tax Act that would constrain Zionist charities. I don’t believe the public should be subsidizing organizations sending money to a faraway genocidal supremacist state. Nor should we be subsidizing groups promoting that lawless foreign state. Many, if not most, Canadians likely agree. The law should reflect public sentiment.

Israeli soldiers have gone on Israeli television and said they use dogs to r•pe prisoners. Israeli settlers raided a military base in July 2024 and rioted for the “right to r•pe” after reservists were arrested for r•ping a male prisoner to death with a steel bar. After the right to r•pe riots a member of the Israeli Knesset proclaimed that Israeli soldiers had the right to do whatever they wanted to to Palestinian prisoners, including r•pe. Quite literally no group of people have provided more evidence of the widespread, systematic sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners at the hands of the IDF than Israelis themselves.

Prime Minister Goldman Sachs claims to have “deep concern for the continued humanitarian crisis in Gaza”, yet he refuses to sanction Israel while imposing vast sanctions on Russia and Iran. This is the fraudster who told the Davos crowd that Canada would apply the same standards to everyone.

Prime Minister Carney spoke with the President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, where he expressed deep concern over the continued humanitarian crisis in Gaza and underscored Canada’s unwavering support for a negotiated two-state solution. pm.gc.ca/en/news/readou…

🇺🇦🇷🇺🇩🇪 Ukraine's Nord Stream diving team included Freya, a former erotic model. In her twenties she'd posed for erotic magazines, including a cover shot in a captain's coat with the headline "Why does the Crimean sun awaken sexy feelings?" She was also reportedly the best diver in the group. Her cover story if they got stopped by police: they were filming an underwater porn shoot. You just can’t make that up 😂 Source: Bild

@D162Michele @Corvidelle Yeah, here in the democratic bastion of Canada we have an unelected British banker as a Prime Minister right now. This is the second time in my lifetime we've had a Prime Minister who didn't win any elections. Let's hear it for the joys of "representative democracy"😒

The fact that he believes there actually was a time when America stood for “freedom, human life and democracy” — presumably until Trump was elected — invalidates this guy’s opinion about anything.
Garry Kasparov@Kasparov63

🎯 I’ve referred to Ukraine, and President Zelenskyy, as leader of the free world for a while now. Not only because they’re fighting the authoritarian enemy NATO was created to fight, but leading by example on the values of freedom, human life, and democracy. Once it was America.

@SilviaSerb27868 @CJPME Fun fact, this slogan was used in the Likud party's publicly stated platform as far back as 1977. How does banning a sequence of six words, none of which are slurs or even remotely offensive, which began as a zionist slogan, help combat antisemitism rather than further fuel it?

Lend-Lease was real. Significant. Worth knowing about. You're right that Soviet leadership acknowledged its importance, and anyone who dismisses it entirely is being dishonest. Now let's talk about what it actually shows. Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union totaled approximately $11.3 billion, roughly 4% of Soviet war expenditure. Meaningful. Not decisive in the way you're implying. Soviet industrial output, relocated behind the Urals in one of the most extraordinary logistical feats in military history, produced roughly 100,000 tanks and self-propelled guns plus over 140,000 aircraft domestically. The trucks helped. The rails helped. The aviation fuel helped at critical moments. The T-34, the Katyusha, the IL-2, the weapons that actually broke the Wehrmacht, came from Soviet factories, built by Soviet workers, many of them women and children working 12-hour shifts in the Siberian winter. But here's the more important point you're walking past: Lend-Lease was not charity. It was not generosity in the pure sense you're implying. It was strategic calculation. Roosevelt and his advisors understood explicitly that every German division fighting the Soviet Union was a German division not threatening Britain, not threatening American interests, not requiring American soldiers. Keeping the Soviets fighting was worth $11 billion because the alternative was fighting those German divisions yourself, with American bodies. Stalin knew this. Churchill knew this. Roosevelt knew this. The transaction was mutual. The Soviets bled in quantities that made the Western Allied strategic position possible. The Americans supplied materials that helped the Soviets sustain that bleeding. These are not competing facts. They are the same fact from two directions. What Lend-Lease does not do, and this is where your argument quietly collapses, is change the operational record. Germany's military was destroyed on the Eastern Front. 27 million Soviets died. American supply lines did not storm Stalingrad. American trucks did not fight at Kursk. American aviation fuel did not plan Operation Bagration. Soviet soldiers, in Soviet cities, on Soviet soil, with Soviet blood, broke the German army. The Lend-Lease argument is the most sophisticated version of the asterisk. It's the one that sounds like it respects the history while still finding a way to place America at the center of it. Without us, you couldn't have done it. With us, you could. That framing keeps the American as the indispensable variable. The one whose presence or absence determines the outcome. The protagonist, even in someone else's catastrophe. The Soviets also couldn't have fought without American supply. The Americans also couldn't have won without Soviet sacrifice absorbing 80% of German military power for four years. These dependencies ran in both directions. You've chosen to emphasize one direction. That choice is the curation I was describing. And you've been living inside it long enough that it feels like balance.
Apelham@Apelham8

Some Americans know all about the Lend Lease the Soviets received that kept that number lower than it could have been. The Lend Lease that Stalin and others admitted they couldn't have beaten Germany without. So what do you want to talk about? The fact that most of the rail system, rails, switches, some engine, railway cars, that helped the the stave of a famine in 43 and was critical in getting war material from factories relocated in the east to the front lines were forged in American foundries? That almost every drop of 100 octane Aviation Fuel the Russians received came from American refineries? Or the 420K trucks they received to help close the distance on their logistical tail? Hell, the US took apart and shipped an entire factory dedicated to making tires to the Russians. No Ice cream ships though. All of this and more, while building up their own armed forces to fight a two front war across two different oceans. Without that help, the war after 1943 for Russia is a lot different. And they knew it. Quiet a few other people know it as well. They just don't like admitting it.

Pure evil.😡 A marine park in Canada was closing down, they planned to donate 30 beluga whales to Chinese marine parks, but this effort was blocked by the Canadian government. Now, the 30 beluga whales will be euthanized due to the park's closure. Beluga whales are very intelligent, they are one of only 10 animals other than human to have pass the self-recognition mirror test. So what about releasing the beluga whales? The problem is, they were raised in captivity, releasing them into the wild carries an extremely high risk of slow and miserable deaths, because they lack the necessary survival skills. So the best bet is for the Canadian government to stop being a spiteful clowns and allow the donation process to go through.

Reza Nasri@RezaNasri1·
What @USAmbUN isn’t telling you: The 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was never an unprovoked act of aggression. It was a deliberate, preemptive move by revolutionary students who had watched the United States use that very same embassy as the operational headquarters for the 1953 coup that overthrew Iran’s democratically elected nationalist prime minister, Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh, and restored the Shah to power. Having just toppled the monarchy in their own revolution, those students were determined not to let history repeat itself. They feared, rightly in their view, that the embassy would once again become the nerve center for another American-orchestrated counter-revolution. The crisis was eventually resolved through the Algiers Accords of January 1981. In that binding agreement, the United States explicitly pledged not to interfere "directly or indirectly" in Iran’s internal or external affairs. Iran, in turn, released the hostages. That should have been the end of the matter. Instead, Washington proceeded to violate the spirit and letter of the agreement with a long, unbroken chain of revengeful measures. These included: - Actively supporting Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Iran in 1980 and turning a blind eye to his systematic use of chemical weapons against Iranian troops and civilians. - Shooting down Iran Air Flight 655 in 1988, a civilian airliner carrying 290 people, including dozens of children, killing everyone on board. - Imposing crippling economic sanctions that have been tightened and reimposed repeatedly for decades. - Covertly and overtly fomenting internal unrest and supporting opposition groups. - Unilaterally withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear agreement (JCPOA) in 2018, despite Iran’s full compliance as certified by the IAEA. - And, most recently, direct military strikes on Iranian territory. In every single one of these episodes, U.S. officials and their surrogates have reflexively invoked the 1979 embassy takeover as the original sin that supposedly justifies perpetual hostility. They treat the hostage crisis as an eternal blank check for aggression, while conveniently omitting the prior coup, the broken non-interference pledge, and the long list of American provocations that followed. The real question is no longer “What happened in 1979?” The real question is: How much longer will Washington continue to wave the embassy hostage crisis like a bloody flag to excuse every new act of hostility, sanctions, and military pressure against Iran?
Ambassador Mike Waltz@USAmbUN

47 years ago, the Iranian regime took Americans hostage as its opening act. Now, seeking to hold on to its illegal nuclear program, it is taking the world economy hostage. Russia and China’s opposition to freedom of navigation of the Strait is a new low, and shields the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

@rickaren81 @techmore_edu @ConceptualJames Bringing up the military provenance of many of these vaunted Zionist accomplishments is important because the US bankrolls the zionist entity's military, including research, so really, those were more like US inventions that developed by a subcontractor.

According to VP Vance, Trump's "extremely simple" offer to Iran is a grand bargain: Iran must provide an ironclad commitment to never pursue a nuclear weapon (or the means to quickly build one) and drop support for proxies/ballistic missiles. In return, the US would lift sanctions, fully integrate Iran into the global economy, and help it become economically prosperous in ways no prior deal has offered. Talks in Pakistan ended without acceptance, so it's now a take-it-or-leave-it proposal.
