So, it’s absurd to suggest, let alone think, that what I am experiencing in any way compares to what Israeli and Palestinian citizens are experiencing. Their pain is immense and ongoing. They can’t escape it. But it is also inadvisable, and possibly dangerous, for me to think that I can

Warren Kinsella: My latest: the truth of what happened on October 7
October 7 was beautiful, clear day, and the sky above Israel seemed to go on forever. It was the weekend. It was the Sabbath. It was a religious holiday. What we saw – taken from home security camera footage, or mobile phones, or live-streaming, but mostly from the footage Hamas
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: the Magna Carta of Evil
It’s the weekend, so there’s going to be more demonstrations against Israel. They’ve been happening every weekend since October 7, pretty much. There will be chants and signs and banners, proclaiming participants to be “anti-Zionist” (read: mostly anti-Semitic) and “pro-Palestine” (read: too often, pro-Hamas). By now, everyone knows who Hamas

“I never really knew much about Jews until this year.” That’s what Dana Remillard Kreil wrote in one of her essays, which ended up in court. She went on: “In other grades, all I was told was that the Jews are a RACE that are discriminated against. They had never

I have never seen it this bad. And I’ve seen it when it is really, really bad. But never like this. Anti-Semitism, that is. Hatred and/or prejudice towards Jews. Some context, here. As a journalist, I have been writing about, and researching, Jew-hatred since 1986. As a lawyer and a

We have criminalized promotion of hatred against identifiable groups, and the promotion of genocide. We must, must now criminalize the promotion of listed terror groups.

Am Yisrael Chai! Three by four, DM me if interested. Part of proceeds go to ZAKA. I’ll bring it to you.

Places of higher learning? Places that are stomach-churning, more like. We refer to campuses all over North America, of course. Since October 7, far too many students at university, college and high school campuses have blamed Hamas’ victims, not Hamas. They have promoted hatred, not opposed hatred. On Wednesday, thousands

Decisions. That’s all the voters are looking for, really. They know that they are not going to get their way on every single policy decision. So they all want just one thing from their political leaders: decisions. Clear, coherent, concise decisions. This writer worked for a leader like that: Jean

Thirty years ago today, this guy got elected with a massive majority. It was an honor to work for him.

Do you ever feel like you are living in history? Because you are. Right now. For too many, history is distant, abstract. It’s scribblings in dog-eared high school text books. A bit of dialogue recalled from a movie, or something said on a guided tour while on vacation. For too

What do you think, folks? My personal preference is “go fuck yourself,” but I’m open to suggestions. You can send them to him directly, too, at davide@readthemaple.com. Let me know what you think!
