You can support peace and justice for the Palestinians and still condemn the October 7 massacre as an obscene atrocity. Odd how so many people find this impossible. I wonder why ....

There's a nun, a lawyer, and a cleaning lady involved.

No idea what you mean but I think the kindest thing is to block you. I wish you well but I don't want a day of such tragedy to be treated thus. God bless but goodbye.

"Disappointing" to condemn the murder of Jewish people attending synagogue? Oh dear.

Let's see who condemns and who remains silent. These people were British Jews attending their place of worship on the holiest day of the year. And if anyone mentions Gaza we know their motives. Anti-semitism existed long, long before now.

Michael Coren: A movement of pacifism was born 500 years ago. Today, we see it more as a fashion than in reality Belief in pacifism, Christian or otherwise, is in short supply right now and the seemingly endless and ever-darker and deeper cycle of violence and hatred spins around.

I wasn't looking for examples of what I'd condemned but I do appreciate it. God bless.

L'shana tova to my Jewish friends and family. To those who call themselves Christian but dislike Jews (and they're especially vocal and influential at the moment) do remember that Jesus and his closest followers all celebrated Rosh Hashanah or Feast of Trumpets.

60 years ago I was with my dad in Hackney when a group of men walked past. One of them suddenly said, "Oi, Phil!" It was Ron Kray with his brother Reg. They knew dad from their boxing days in the east-end. They were very affectionate and gave me some money as a gift. Dad never told me who they were.

Notebook: Michael Coren Time warp IT IS the 500th anniversary of the Anabaptist movement, which is especially significant here in Canada, where there are substantial Mennonite and Brethren communities. A college at one of the country’s main universities is named after Co...

In this week's Notebook, @revmichaelcoren.bsky.social writes about the Anabaptist movement, the Quiet Revival, an old diary, a new one, and his 1983 interview with Roald Dahl

I enjoyed @jimmykimmel.com and regret what has happened but as someone who has been "cancelled" by left as well as right I can assure you that intolerance is not confined to any single ideology.

I disagreed with Charlie Kirk on so very much but a truly free, liberal, and good society is based on such disagreement. His murder is not only a vile act in itself but an attack on the very culture and politics that all genuine progressives should advocate.

We should be able to condemn the killing of innocent Palestinians in Gaza and weep; be able to condemn the killing of innocent Israelis on a Jerusalem bus and weep. Seems, alas, that many can't. Some true motives and hatreds haves become apparent today.

Air Show today. I'm not a huge fan really - prefer the dignity and importance of World War Two aircraft. Lucky enough to go up in a Lancaster a few years ago.
