Anti-Israel demonstrators staged an unlicensed rally at a busy shopping mall/office complex in downtown Toronto on Friday, Boxing Day, with some chanting “We demand an intifada” into megaphones. The incident at the Eaton Centre, which ended without any arrests and closely followed the Dec. 14 massacre of 15 people by two alleged Islamists at a Chanukah party in Australia, prompted calls for Canadian authorities to shut down calls for violence against Israelis and Jews. The flash-mob protest began at 4 p.m., at the end of a holiday light show, and security and police “asked the individuals to leave the premises,”...

Heavily-armed tactical police have swooped on a group of men believed to have been on their way to Bondi Beach - revealing they were acting on information a “violent act” was possibly being planned.

The two Michigan men charged with plotting an ISIS-inspired terror attack had been scouting LGBTQ-friendly bars in a Detroit suburb and talked of copying the 2015 Paris attacks that killed 130 people, according to a 72-page criminal complaint unsealed in federal court Monday. The document names Mohmed Ali, of Dearborn, and Majed Mahmoud as conspiring to unleash a mass shooting attack on Halloween night — a fiendish plot the suspects codenamed “pumpkin,” according to prosecutors. Investigators tracked the men via their phone movements, which saw them travel to an area of Ferndale known for its bars and restaurants, many of...

In the concrete canyons of America’s cities, there’s an ancient tactic as old as warfare itself: the ambush. Draw your enemy into unfamiliar terrain, seal off their escape routes, and strike when they’re most vulnerable. It’s a strategy perfected by guerrilla fighters from the jungles of Vietnam to the mountains of Afghanistan. But last Tuesday night, this battlefield technique wasn’t deployed in some distant war zone—it was used against American police officers on the streets of Boston. The date was no coincidence. October 7th marked two years since Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israeli civilians, and pro-Palestinian demonstrators had gathered on...

A group called Stand for Palestine Australia announced it would hold a “Glory to Our Martyrs” rally on October 7 — the anniversary of the horrifying Hamas terrorist attack that launched the Gaza war — in the western Sydney suburb of Bankstown. New South Wales (NSW) Premier Chris Minns said he was appalled by the “terrible timing” of the event. “Terrible timing, shockingly insensitive,” Minns said in a radio interview on Tuesday. “We understand that there is concern about innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza, but to do it … on 7th, seems like they are glorifying the actions of these...

It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Houston and you're at your kid's baseball game. The coach is leading the players in prayer before the first inning. Then you hear the shots. Houston Warriors founder Andy Baize said the injured coach was saying a pregame prayer with their team. 'He literally took the bullet for a child that was to his left, and so thankfully we avoided a major disaster. Still very, very emotional over it,' Baize told KHOU 11. The three suspects, Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, Ahmad Mawed, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah did not appear to be targeting the game. They...

A Houston youth baseball coach was nearly gunned down earlier this week while kneeling before God with his young players in a senseless crime. As Fox News reported, a coach for the Texas Colts was in a pregame prayer with his players on Sunday when three people fired gunshots in their direction from a nearby pasture. Video of the incident obtained by local news outlets shows the 12-year-old players running to safety while the bullets fly. One adult is struck and collapses to the ground next to home plate.

Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson says: “High school graduation ceremonies are a rite of passage. A time for friends and family to come together to celebrate one of life’s major milestones. To bring machineguns and violence to such a ceremony is immoral and shameful. On behalf of all Minnesotans, I want to express a sense of moral outrage at these crimes and assure the public that the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Sure, he is full of “moral outrage,” but will Thompson address the culture of violence that Minnesota officials have unwisely brought...

A major pro-Israel conference slated to begin in four days in Dallas that had 1,000 committed attendees postponed the event “indefinitely,” citing “escalating terror threats.” The decision came after organizers had already changed venues for the Israel Summit, which draws major Christian and Jewish pro-Israel speakers, because of security concerns. It was set to take place from June 9-11. “This is America in 2025. A pro-Israel conference scheduled for Dallas this week, where I was scheduled to speak, which sold over 1,000 tickets, was forced to cancel because of threats from violent Jihadists,” stated David Friedman, a former U.S. ambassador...

One of the accused ran a restaurant in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin. Another one was a taxi driver. Inconspicuous, friendly – seemingly integrated. The discovery of a USB stick made the investigators sit up and take notice. What they found on it was highly explosive: coordinates, photos, clues to possible targets in Germany. Several locations were spied on: the Israeli embassy in Berlin, the US military airport in Ramstein and Tempelhofer Feld, one of Berlin’s most popular parks.

DEVELOPING STORY: Hundreds of pro-Hamas terrorists waving Palestinian flags invaded and then shut down Grand Central Terminal in New York City Monday night. Thousands of commuters were stranded by the shut down. This sort of attack is absolutely unacceptable, but this is what happens when Democrat lawmakers coddle the domestic terrorists. Here’s what needs to happen: the NYPD should lock down every entrance and exit into the train terminal. They should round up and arrest every terrorist. And they should be deported back to their home countries. When you fly the flag of a terrorist organization on American soil you...
