Prof Gerald M Steinberg

I began to meet with Bob Bernstein, iconic founder of @hrw, shortly after the organization played a leading role in the infamous #Antisemitic Durban NGO Forum. The moral betrayal of @KenRoth @ReedBrody and others was very painful for Bob, as expressed in his @nytimes oped

Thank you so much @DeborahLyonsSE! Not only for the tremendous impact you had in Canada in the fight against antisemitism, but also your constructive initiatives in our global group of envoys and coordinators. Thank you for your friendship! We will miss you!

Deborah, what to say. You have been a leader in the Canadian foreign service — to us internally but also well beyond our borders. Je te souhaite que des bonnes choses. Fair winds.

Every word:

Good news: though Jews are the top target for hate crimes in Canada—and 25 times more likely than anyone else to be targeted—the number of incidents dropped slightly from the peak in 2023. That's what counts for good news in today's Canada. haaretz.com/world-news/202…

“I have reviewed their orders, watched their targeting process, and seen soldiers take real risks to avoid harming civilians. Nothing I have seen or studied resembles genocide or genocidal intent.” Says @SpencerGuard and I concur.

Children do not start conflicts. Heinous dehumanizing terrorists do. Hamas and allies killed, maimed and kidnapped Israeli children in the October 7 long-planned assault. Hamas raped and brutalized their mothers. @UNICEF @unicefchief said nothing; did nothing. Defund @UNICEF now.

I agree with @gershonbaskin. The trite slogans of @EspenBarthEide and friends are worse than useless. They must act to end 656 days & nights of brutal torture for the hostages, join Israel in dismantling Hamas, and help @GHFUpdates distribute food and replace terror allied…

The many bridges built by Ambassador @GeorgeDeek between Israel and Azerbaijan will continue to serve the interests of both nations for many years. Thank you!

The war between the wars, expanded (as per Hezbollah). As long as Iran possesess the capabilities to attack, Israel will atrack regime assets

L'aide humanitaire est le dernier obstacle dans la finalisation d'un cessez-le-feu. Quand on connaît les accointances entre l'ONU, les ONG et le Hamas, il nest guère étonnant que l'organisation terroriste (pour sa survie) exige que cette aide humanitaire soit contrôlée par l'ONU!

עיתונאים ישראלים מבקרים את מסגרת חלוקת המזון בעזה והאיומים ממדינות אירופה האחרים. לפעמים לא מזכירים את החשיבות האסטרטגית העליונה להחליף את מנגנוני האו"ם שמהווים נכס מרכזי לחמס. השינוי הזה לא פחות חשוב מלהמשיך לפגוע במנגנוני הטרור.

Some Israeli journos cite criticism of attempt to replace UN/ NGO Gaza aid system via @GHFUpdates. Not surprisingly, Israel media reflect international condemnations, daily claims of deaths, and also dangers to IDF soldiers. Generally unmentioned - the core strategic objective of…

🇺🇳UN agencies (@UNRWA, @UNOCHA etc) aren't interested in feeding Gaza civilians. Their only goal is to keep the $1.5 billion aid gravy train coming with Hamas. The last thing they want is to cooperate with @GHFUpdates, which actually helps people, and without Hamas.

🇪🇺@kajakallas is blindly recycling the deadly slogans of her failed predecessor & his @eu_eeas propaganda team. Not a useful (or moral) policy.

My take on Trump's 2nd exit from @UNESCO (ideological agendas, Israel derangement) spotlights the abject failure of the 1945 🇺🇳UN dream. The majority of closed dictatorships drives agendas, with pathetic assistance from 🇪🇺 EU, @CanadaUN, @AustraliaUN etc. omny.fm/shows/kan-engl…

מטרת התוכנית הייתה וממשיכה לסלק את UNRWA, OCHA וכל המנגנון הסיוע שמהווה חלק הכרחי ליכולת של חמס לפעול. לכן הם עושים הכל כולל לגרום להרוגים, על מנת למנוע הצלחה בהחלפת המנגנון. מדובר על שנוי אסטרטגי היסטורי.
