I don’t like Netanyahu either. But that isn’t the question

The only thing anyone knows for sure about the Minnesota shooter, so far, is something that no one will talk about: he had a gun. What is the sense in allowing people to have guns? What good does it do, especially, compared to the evil that it does?

The regimes in Gaza and Iran are vile, genocidal, anti-Semitic & corrupt. The people of Gaza and Iran should be liberated. And Israel needs to be rid of those enemy regimes. That is all true. But at this point, who trusts Netanyahu to actually do it?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The Palestinians are like a man who beats his wife and blames it on the next door neighbour. Yes, you should pity the wife, but getting angry at the neighbour is no help to her at all.

Hamas hopes to murder, exile or enslave 7.2 million Jewish Israelis. And just like the Nazis they so admire, they held their own version of the Wansee Conference to talk about it. www.memri.org/reports/hama...

The thuggish rebel Dick the Butcher, in “Henry VI” famously said “The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.” Trump thinks the same way. But if American democracy survives, it will be because lawyers and judges saved it. Ours is a proud profession.

If you believe what Hamas says about casualty numbers in Gaza, you should also believe Hamas when it says it plans to murder, exile or enslave 7.2 million Jewish Israelis. www.memri.org/reports/hama...

I support Ukraine’s right to defend itself against Russia, just as I support Israel’s right to defend itself against the Iranian-Arab-Palestinian axis. Both conflicts will end tomorrow, if Putin relents and Hamas surrenders.

These are the moments when it really pays NOT to be a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Rarely has a team betrayed its supporters - and itself - more flagrantly and sourly. And yes, I hope the Leafs make me eat my words.

Being born male delivers a heap of unearned advantages. It also comes, sometimes, with what feels like unearned resentment. Tough. Consider it a small inheritance tax, fellas.

Watched #TheFourSeasons and can report that, to my surprised pleasure, Claude and Ginny turned out to be the two best people in the group. A very grown-up and witty production. Brava / bravo to its creators & cast!

The question for the democracies - including Canada - is whether we are prepared to work, sacrifice, spend and if necessary, fight, for a world that offers our children a future with all the choices we had.

If polls are right, together Canada’s Liberal and Conservative parties will take over 80% of the votes. The last time they did that was March 31, 1958. And it has been a century since such two-party dominance was “normal.”

The free press is just as essential to liberty and democracy, as is the rule of law. As we do the Courts, we must pay for journalism as a public service. davidkeithlaw.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/a...

Every criminal has a right to due process and a fair trial. Our justice system doesn’t exist only to protect the innocent (or our friends). It exists to protect all of us - even the guilty - from savagery. There is no freedom, especially for good people, without rules.
