Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Henry Rollins are of Jewish descent. Joey and Tommy Ramone were Jews. So was Richard Hell and the Dictators. So is Fat Mike of NOFX. Brett Gurewitz and Greg Hetson of Bad Religion. The Dolls’ Sylvain Sylvain. Lenny Kaye and Chris Stein. Malcolm McLaren. Bernie Rhodes.

Warren Kinsella: My latest: it ain’t working, Hamas-fans. At all.
In less than a week, we’ve seen them disrupting the Mayor’s skate party. We’ve seen them scream curses and epithets at the regular folks there. We’ve seen them intimidating an elderly couple at the same event. We’ve seen them blocking highways and roads and getting coffee and doughnuts from the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: it’s terror.
It’s terrorism. The firebombing of a Jewish business in Toronto last week, that is. The attack on International Delicatessen Foods (IDF) – and the FREE PALESTINE scrawled on its exterior wall by the firebomber(s) – literally meets every available definition of terrorism. The Canadian Department of Justice defines terrorism in
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Hate has no home here
True story. Went to introduce myself to new neighbor. She opens door, I extend hand. She won’t take it. Invite her to our neighborhood party. She shakes head. Says Israel is “committing genocide” and she wants my flag down. I say that’s not happening. I’m getting a bigger flag.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: little guy, big life
Jean Chretien is turning 90 this week. And what a life he has had. Let me tell you one of my favorite Chretien stories, about just one afternoon in that extraordinary life. One sunny day a few years ago, I was in Vancouver for business. Turned out Chretien was, as
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Canada, the anti-Semitic crime gold medalist
What does it take? What does it take for police and prosecutors to do their job, that is. What does it take? Since October 7, when a modern shoah commenced, this country has shamed itself. This country has witnessed the biggest surge in Jew hatred since the years leading to the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: it’s illegal, and I don’t care who does it
Sorry, partisans, but you can’t have it both ways. January 2022: protestors start blocking Ottawa streets to make a political point. Police are ultimately used to clear them out. Some conservatives are very unhappy the police used force to do so, while some progressives are happy. January 2024: protestors start
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: we don’t need that kind of education
“We don’t need no education.” It’s ironic, and telling, that the author of that 1979 Pink Floyd lyric was Roger Waters. Waters is a musician, but he is also one of the most notorious Jew-haters on the planet. He dresses up in Nazi-style uniforms for shows, he refuses to eat
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Lorna Lane
This is the last painting of 2023. It is of Lorna Lane, named after my Mom. Some days, I miss her so much, my chest hurts. Like today. The light at the end of the lane is her. We are reaching up to her, as we always did. We always
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Hamas’ willing co-conspirators
Two sides. One side hasn’t shot up schools for little kids. It hasn’t firebombed community centers and places of worship. Its clergy haven’t called for a deity to slaughter the other side. It hasn’t yelled death threats at people in shopping malls. It hasn’t targeted businesses with threats and abuse
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: 2023’s political winner
Picking the big winner of 2023 is easy. It’s Pierre Poilievre. At year’s end, the fledgling Conservative leader is a winner not simply because he is leading in the polls. At various times, Erin O’Toole and Andrew Scheer – along with the likes of Robert Stanfield and Kim Campbell –
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: ten predictions for Israel/Gaza in 2024
It’s that time of year – when columnists make predictions about the year ahead. The ones found below were written before this writer, and this newspaper, were targeted by an army of trolls – and some we considered friends – accusing us of anti-Semitism. Us, arguably the most pro-Israel newspaper
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Trudeau and Hamas exchange love notes
Where were you, Mom and Dad, on the day that Hamas thanked the Trudeau government? Agreed: the day that the world’s most notorious terror group offered up video thanks to the Justin Trudeau regime probably doesn’t rank up there with 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. But it’s in the same category,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Montreal, hate city
MONTREAL- What the Hell is happening here? Here, in a city previously known for arts and cuisine and a decided European flair, things have gone from bad to worse. Consider: • A Montreal Jewish school for boys has been shot up twice. • Another Montreal Jewish school, for children
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: first they came for the Jews
Protest movements come and go. But they are quite different. These days, protest movements happen more on the Left then on the Right. There are exceptions, of course, like the Ottawa occupation. But for the most part, conservatives focus on achieving influence within institutions – academia, think tanks, media, politics.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: ten reasons why it’s a ten-point spread
The polls say Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives have dropped, a bit. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have gone up, a bit. How come? Ten reasons. Tories first. 1. Poilievre’s LikeAbility Gap. Every successful political leader in Canada – Jean Chretien, Rene Levesque, Mel Lastman, Ralph Klein, Doug Ford – was likeable. They were
