The is so called 'peace deal' between Israel and hamas is agonzing. As it stands now, peace is a fantasy. It is a lull in a never-ending loop of violence and war.
We don't live in Israel, don't have our enemy breathing down our neck every moment and are therefore torn about voicing an opinion. And yet...the Jewish people are one, beating with one heart and one soul.
As a human being who lives with morals and ethics, the release of the hostages from that hellhole called gaza cannot come fast enough. No one can even begin to imagine how they have survived all this time in the most inhumane conditions possible, nor fathom the pain of their families.
This same human being is struggling with the terms of the agreement, which will free some of the most viscious, disgusting human beings on the face of the earth, at least 1000 arabs who committed heinous crimes including murder, taking the lives of innocent Israelis.
The former will only lead to more war, more terrorist attacks and begs the question why did almost 900 Israeli soldiers die fighting hamas when they (hamas) are now being given the opportunity to regroup.
We will remind you that animal sinwar who was one of the masterminds of October 7, was let go with 1000 other animals for the release of Gilad Shalit a few years ago.
G-d has to perform a miracle. If we had our wish it would be that once all the hostages - dead and alive - are released, gaza is swallowed up into the earth never to be seen again.
Anthony Housefather has sent a long, convoluted letter to many of his constituents, begging them to vote for him. The letter is dated October 7, 2024 as this is the second time he's passing it around, the first being in the newspaper.
His ignorance in publishing this on October 7 and then not noticing the date and resending it, is beyond words.
Housefather is so wrapped up in his own little world that the date of Israel's worst massacre since the Holocaust went right over his head. So much for telling Justin he is going to be Canada's saviour of the Jewish people. Theatrics.
According to recent polls Neil Oberman, running for the Conservative party, has now overtaken Anthony, reducing our member of parliament to begging for his job.
In doing so, little Anthony has become a pathetic figure, every bit as feeble as Justin—the very party leader he could not find the “kahoonas” to walk away from.
Now for the letter:
The first eight words of the letter are untrue, disingenuous and totally misleading. Here ya go:
In our system we elect individual, not parties...
Wishful thinking.
We not sure from which banana tree Housefather thinks people fell from nor what world he lives in.
He is very much part of the liberal party and, as an individual which he proports to be, has not moved the needle for the Jewish people in Canada even an eyelash because, get this - his party does not support Israel.
With this letter, he is trying to distance himself from Justin and hopefully Chrystia Freeland who we hope wins the leadership nomination.
And didn't little Anthony say when he was threatening to leave Justin's bed that he could not bear to leave his party? Yes. He said that. In fact, he said: he will remain in the Liberal caucus despite his concerns about the party's support for a motion on Palestinian statehood.
He was going to save the Jewish people in Canada from his own leader, Justin. It didn't work because...when you vote for the individual you are VOTING FOR THE PARTY.
The most revolting aspect of his letter is what is conspicuously left unsaid. It is the reason he didn't notice the October 7 date of the letter.
The letter focuses on saving the English speaking community in Quebec. The Jewish population in his riding have been left to fend for themselves. Not one word about the Jewish community and what has transpired since October 7.
That theme does not play well in the polls because people in his riding know that he stayed with the liberal party to help the Jews and that was an utter fiasco.
Ergo, he has retreated to what his handlers deem a safe haven - 'rescuing' Quebec’s English-speaking communities. As a Jew, we find that utterly beyond the pale.
Little Anthony just did exactly what Justin did to Chrystia Freeland. He threw what he deemed his achilles heel - the Jewish issue - under the bus for his own gain.
If anyone votes for little Anthony...well, let's put it this way: If Kamala Harris had been elected, people would have gotten what they deserved in spades.
Same here.
You vote for Housefather and you will get what you deserve. Someone who will be part of a party that will, with G-d's help, be decimated in the next election. And you will be left with a member of parliament sitting as a backbencher with no voice, no party and still living off the land.
The misery in California is just beginning for the tens of thousands of people who lost not only their homes, but everything they owned.
We heard that not only did the homes burn to ash, but so did the infastructure which includes electrictity and all the water systems underground. The heat was so intense, it burned the underground pipes.
Which means before a shovel is put in the ground to begin constructing new houses, it will take close to two years to rebuild the basics.
On top of that, the air is toxic, as it was after 9/11. All kinds of plastics, chemicals, cleaning products, cars, gas, oil - everything burned and the ash is now floating in the air. There is no doubt that people are thinking about what happened to the firemen and everyone else who went to the trade center after 9/11 and how many of them have developed cancer due to breathing in toxic fumes.
Where people are going to live in the meantime is another issue. One person interviewed said she knows she will be displaced at the very least for two years and and as such is looking to put down temporary roots with her family in Vancouver. We are guessing others are not so fortunate - financially and family-wise.
Insurance is another issue. Many did not have insurance, but many did. Imagine how long it's going to take to get hold of an agent? Months and months.
And finally, the gross mismanagement before and during the fires is jaw-dropping. How a dysfunctional government can deal with all of this is very questionable. The idiot mayor was on a 'fact-finding' mission to Ghana when the brunt of the fires started. She was told in advance that this was coming and she left anyway.
That alone is enough to fire her. And the issue of no water in the fire hydrants? There's still no water so the fires are being doused now with salty sea water. Who knows what that's going to add to this mix.
What a colossal mess.
As for Mark Carney being an outsider, a picture is worth a thousand words.
You decide if he's an outsider after looking at these pictures.
Carney just announced his candidacy for the leadership of the liberal party and started with these uplifting few words:
..."the Canada we know and love is over and hard times are ahead for Canada." Now that's something positive to look forward to brought to you by the party who put us into this mess.
And we had heard he was less than charismatic. An understatement. His announcement sounded like he was reading a grocery list to his wife.
Waiting for Freeland to throw her hat in the ring.
You may be wondering what Justin is going to do after he leaves office in March. Our guess is that he's going to go on vacation for a very long time. Then he's going to go on another vacation for another long time.
When he finally gets back to wherever he is going to live, we are suggesting that he contact Kamala Harris who is writing her memoirs and collaborate with her. Between the two of them they might be able to fill four chapters of a book.
They best get a good editor as they will need someone to rewrite Kamala's word salads and fill in Justin's breathless uh, um, uh, um, uh's which mercifully, we won't have to listen to for very much longer.
Good Shabbos
We'll talk...
