“Violent, racist” Naftali Bennett should be banned from Canadian soil ahead of speech at Holocaust memorial center, say pro-Palestinian groups.

By Adina Katz, World Israel News

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is a “war criminal” and should be banned from Canadian soil, attorneys acting on behalf of a number of left-wing groups wrote in a letter to the Canadian government.

The legal brief, which is aimed at blocking Bennett from visiting Canada, comes two weeks ahead of a scheduled speaking engagement featuring the one-time premier at the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Toronto.

Bennett should be banned from Canadian soil because a central tenet of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that people who “perpetrated atrocities” or who “committed or are complicit in crimes against humanity, war crimes, or genocide” should be denied entry to the country, the brief charged.

The letter accused Bennett of being “deeply involved in the development of illegal Israeli settlements in the Palestinian West Bank.”

“Bennett is also alleged to have a history of violence and racism. He is accused of being involved in events leading to the massacre of 102 Lebanese citizens at Qana in 1996, and has openly called for the extrajudicial killing of Palestinians involved in confrontations with Israeli forces.” the letter read, without providing evidence for either of those claims.

The document also repeated a dubious claim that Bennett reportedly remarked a decade ago that “I have killed lots of Arabs in my life – and there is no problem with that.”

The veracity of that alleged quote from Bennett, which has often been repeated by left-wing media, has never been confirmed or proven.

“Persons who have committed or been complicit in the commission of a war crime, a crime against humanity, genocide or any other reprehensible act, regardless of when or where these crimes occurred, are not welcome in Canada,” the letter continued.

“On that basis…[we] have called upon the government of Canada to uphold the rule of law and bar Naftali Bennett from entering Canada.”

Just Peace Advocates, the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, Palestinian and Jewish Unity and Canada Palestine Association (Vancouver) were the groups that endorsed the letter and retained the attorneys that drafted the document.

Newspaper owned by Qatari royal family publishes article saying that terrorists’ “hands are blessed” and urging the “expulsion of all Zionists from Palestine.”

By World Israel News Staff

Israel’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement blasting a prominent Qatari news outlet for publishing commentary that glorified deadly terror attacks against Israelis and encouraged further violence.

In May, watchdog group Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translated an article penned by Palestinian author Samir Barghouti that was published in Qatar’s Al Watan newspaper.

The Al Watan outlet is owned by Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, a member of the royal family in Qatar.

The article called for terrorists to attack Israel in widespread attacks, throughout the entire geographic area of the Jewish State.

“Hit [them] in the depth of the Jerusalem settlements, in Tel Aviv and in all parts of the land they stole and whose people they expelled, from Ras Al-Naqoura [Rosh HaNikra in northern Israel] to Rafah [in the southern Negev desert],” wrote Barghouti.

“Hit [them], and may your hands be blessed. Even if you do not hurt a single one of them, it is enough to terrify them and sow fear among them.”

Barghouti continued by writing that “had there been someone to hit [them] inside the 1948 territories, [Israel] would not have continued to exist on our soil to this very day. Had it not been for the Camp David Accords and the Oslo Accords, not a single Zionist would have remained in Palestine.”

The Foreign Ministry condemned the article in a media statement to the Jerusalem Post, saying that “such inflammatory rhetoric and glorification of violence are deeply disturbing and contribute to the perpetuation of the hatred and hostility in the region.”

A spokesman from the ministry added that “Israel remains committed to the unconditional fight against terror and calls to end any manifestation of this kind of unproductive incitement.”

Ghanem Nuseibeh, an expert on Qatari affairs and the head of the UK-based group Muslims Against Antisemitism, told the Post that the article had likely received approval from the highest echelons of the Qatari government.

“Qatar media is heavily censored and such extremist incitement would not be published without government approval,” he said.

Nuseibeh also noted that in recent years, Qatar has been “the most virulent spreader of antisemitism in Arabic-speaking communities, and there are no signs this has stopped.”

Qatar is a major funder of the Hamas terror group in Gaza and does not have diplomatic relations with Israel.

Far-left former lawmaker and deputy IDF chief of staff calls on new recruits to refuse to serve in the military if judicial reform efforts, ultra-Orthodox draft exemptions continue.

By Adina Katz, World Israel News

Former MK Yair Golan of the far-left Meretz party, who once served as Deputy Chief of Staff of the Israeli military, said that parents should refuse to send their children to the IDF if the current government continues pursuing judicial reform and maintains a long-standing policy of granting draft deferments to ultra-Orthodox men studying in yeshiva.

“We have a lot of tools left in our hands. Up until now it has been a soft fight. But non-violent disobedience has three main tools – demonstration, strike and civil disobedience,” Golan said in a recent podcast appearance.

“It should be clear to this government that the reservists simply will not show up for duty. A country that sends me to risk my life is obligated to me, and if the government reneges on its commitment to its citizens and if it denies me my basic freedoms as a citizen, there is no reason for me to serve this government.”

Golan, however, took his encouragement of refusals a step further, calling upon 18-year-olds who typically draft after graduating from high school to avoid military service.

“The [new recruits] are part of the debate. Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Netanyahu should have no doubts: If this direction continues, they will see that the parents will come to the recruiting offices and say, ‘We will not give you our children.’”

“We will come to you and say very simply, if the ultra-Orthodox are not prepared to serve this army, we will certainly not serve a policy that deprives us of our civil rights, it will never happen,” he said.

Golan has a long history of making incendiary remarks against religiously observant and right-wing Israelis, having called settlers “despicable subhumans” – a term evoking Nazi-era terminology for Jews – and has equated the IDF’s treatment of Palestinians with the Third Reich in Germany.

In January 2023, Golan called for disruptive mass protests against the current right-wing government.

“We’re changing things. No more polite Saturday evening protests. No more lamentations and complaints. Just actions. Just results,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Businesses will be shut down, services will come to a halt, roads will be blocked, and this arrogant person who presumes to rule, with the help of corrupt, extreme, and dark forces will be made to realize that the people are sovereign.”

Commander of Israeli Air Force orders US-made attack helicopters grounded, following “unusual technical finding” during maintenance check.

By TPS

The commander of the Israel Air Force (IAF) Major General Tomer Bar grounded Israel’s fleet of “Sheraf” (Apache) helicopters after what was described as an “unusual technical finding” was made during a routine maintenance check. The helicopters will be grounded until an inspection of all them is completed.

The IAF said that this is a precaution to rule out the possibility of there being a similar problem in one of its other Apache helicopters.

The IAF did not reveal the nature of the problem. It ordinarily does not do so for security reasons.

The Boeing AH-64 Apache is an American-made twin-turboshaft attack helicopter.

Earlier this year, an Israel Air Force Apache helicopter was forced down due to a technical malfunction.

The incident occurred during the IAF’s Independence Day flyover, when an AH-64 suffered a malfunction, forcing it to land at a kibbutz in central Israel.

The IDF denied the incident constituted an emergency landing.

Six years ago, Israel’s entire Apache fleet was grounded for two months, after an AH-64 crashed at a base in southern Israel, killing the pilot.

Two weeks ago, the IDF grounded its fleet of Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters, designated “Yasur” in Israel, following a “technical malfunction” during a training flight.

The Yasur helicopters were returned to service after five days, with the IDF releasing a statement assuring that the fleet had undergone “comprehensive examination.”

On May 27, a horrific tragedy occurred at a home in Stoney Creek, Ontario, when a argument went horrifyingly wrong. Carissa MacDonald and Aaron Stone, a young couple, were allegedly shot and killed on the front lawn by their 57-year-old landlord following a tenet dispute.

Hamilton Police Service was reported to the scene in the 300 block of Jones Road and confirmed that both tenants were dead. The landlord had barricaded himself inside with several firearms legally registered under his name.

Negotiators tried to solve the situation peacefully, with no luck persuading him. He reportedly fired shots at the armored vehicle, followed by a police shoot-out. The landlord was fatally wounded by police-issued fire. He died on-site, as said by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), which responded after being informed of the occurrences.

Detective Steve Bereziuk, interviewed by Toronto’s CP24, revealed that the victims, both of whom had done nothing wrong, were running away when they got shot. He was quoted saying, “These are people who this doesn’t happen to. They had nothing to do with any sort of unlawful behavior.”

The Homicide Unit is still in the process of conducting an investigation. Multiple witnesses have been questioned and have been compliant with the police. Law enforcement is still asking members of the public to come forward with any knowledge they may have.
