Over the weekend in London’s Camden Town, someone defaced a statue of Amy Winehouse. The statue was unveiled in 2014, and is found at the edge of the Camden Market. It’s not far from where the Ramones played their first British show in 1976, or where the Clash recorded their

Warren Kinsella: My latest: the four horsemen ride again
The horsemen of the apocalypse: everyone has their own. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, there are four. The horsemen aren’t explicitly named, but they are believed to be Death, Famine, War and Conquest – usually the Anti-Christ. It varies. In Anno Domini 2024, this writer’s are as

This week, a mob attacked a hospital. Not because they support Palestine. They did it because they hate Jews. Mount Sinai Hospital, on University Avenue in Toronto, isn’t “Jewish,” of course, any more than it is Protestant or Catholic or Muslim. This writer’s sons were all born there, delivered by a former
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: why Israel will win the war
The late, great Sunday Times writer Marie Colvin said it best: war correspondents send back the first draft of history. Colvin was assassinated by the Syrian regime in 2012. She, more than most, knew how difficult it is to ascertain the truth in the chaos and wreckage of wartime. The

By now, all of you have received the pre-release report of Robert K. Hur, the Special Counsel who was appointed by the United States Attorney General to investigate how classified documents were found in the Delaware home of the President. We have two days to develop a war room
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Belleville’s problem is everyone’s problem
BELLEVILLE – Brian Orford is a Belleville native, age 44. He looks a lot older than that. He looks profoundly sad, like he’s seen it all. He probably has. Brian knows the streets, here, and he knows the people who live on the streets. He knows, too, all of the

Cancelled: there’s much talk about cancel culture, since October 7. It’s everywhere. So, too, one of the oldest anti-Semitic tropes – which is that Jews control Hollywood and the media. And, because they have so much power, they “cancel” and “censor” those with pro-Palestine (read: anti-Israel) views. But that’s not
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: the Jew-haters plan
Young people are anti-Semitic. Not all of them, of course. But, these days, too many. Polling done since the massacres of October 7 tell a deeply disturbing story: vast swaths of Generation Z (who are 18 to 26) and Millennials (who are 27 to 42) in Canada meet the dictionary

“You f**king Jew.” That is what the big skinhead wearing the DROWN THE BOAT PEOPLE T-shirt had just called the lead singer of the Calgary punk band called the Hot Nasties. The Nasties had just finished their set at the University of Calgary’s MacEwan Hall, opening for the popular British
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Hamas’ friends
“Temporarily paused.” That’s what the Trudeau government said it has done with funding it gives to UNRWA, the United Nations agency that supposedly helps Palestinians – but, it is alleged, also participates in massacres of Jews. Since that shocking news dropped last Friday, just about every other civilized nation on

October 7, 2023 is a day that will live in infamy. It is also a day that has caused a massive shift, everywhere – culturally, politically, militarily, strategically. Even on the personal level, October 7 has dramatically re-ordered the lives and priorities of many who are far from the battlefields:
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: the death of the United Nations
Most Canadians believe – or believed – in the idea of the United Nations. On paper, it all made sense. An international body that would promote peace and security. One that would foster better relations between countries. A place to coordinate the actions of nations. To create a better world.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Israel wins by not losing
Israel won. Israel won, in particular, by not losing. On Friday morning, the International Court of Justice declined to rule that Israel was committing genocide in its war against Hamas in Gaza. The president of the U.N. court, American Joan E. Donoghue, spoke at this morning’s hearing. Said Donoghue: “On

Sadder than anything you can think of. That’s how sad Michael Levy looks, when he tries to marshal a smile. It’s been a long day for him, telling his story to Canadians and Americans and anyone who will listen. He’s tired, but he can’t, won’t, stop. The story he has
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: the new deniers
It’s a deadly cancer. And it’s the new Holocaust denial. Denying the horrors of October 7, that is. The sexual violence committed against Israeli women and girls, as well as the utter brutality of it all – the burnings, the beheadings, the torture, the cold-blooded murders. That is the new
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Trump’s on the ballot – in Canada
Canadians really, really don’t like Donald Trump. The majority of Canadians, that is. And that’s why Justin Trudeau is again dangling the prospect of another Trump presidency as a Sword of Damocles above voters’ heads. Now, it is true that traditional Conservative voters don’t fear Trump’s return. About 40 per
