In yet another series of antisemitic attacks in Toronto, masked vandals shot up and smashed the windows of two Jewish-owned bakeries on Saturday, the latest gut-punch in a relentless run of anti-Jewish violence terrorizing Canada’s largest city. Cops confirmed evidence of gunfire at the beloved bakery Kiva’s Yonge and St. Clair outpost, while a second location near Bathurst and Steeles also had its window busted out — though without shots fired there. Miraculously, nobody was hurt in either attack. The kosher-style bagel shop, a Jewish community fixture since 1979, has three GTA locations and is currently run by brothers Ben, Elan and Steve Rafael. Police say they’re probing whether the two hits are connected. Window broken, gunshot fired at Kiva's Jewish-owned bakery in Toronto, police say https://t.co/VFOEjwAQ6t via @torontostar Kiva’s bakery is kosher-style and known for its popular bagels and baked goods. It has long been a hub for the Jewish community. The original bakery opened… — Israel Heritage Foundation (@IHF_Heritage) July 26, 2026 Mayor Olivia Chow stated,  “We in Toronto will double our efforts. Toronto police through Project Resolute have been guarding synagogues and Jewish community centers and places 24/7, and we’ll see what else we could do.” The bakery attack is only the newest scar in a years-long surge that’s turned Toronto into ground zero for antisemitic hate crime in Canada. Despite making up under 4% of the population, Jews have been the top target of hate crimes citywide since well before the pandemic — and things have only gotten uglier. The real inflection point came after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, when antisemitic incidents in Toronto exploded 80% almost overnight. By 2024, police logged a record 443 hate crimes citywide, with Jews the victims in a jaw-dropping 40% of them and 81% of all religiously-motivated attacks. That violence has since escalated into a terrifying pattern of gunfire at Jewish institutions. A Jewish girls elementary school in North York was shot at three times in 2024. n March 2025, a suspect was charged for targeting five Toronto synagogues. Vandalism hit Kehillat Shaarei Torah in November. March 2026 brought shootings at three synagogues, prompting a $10M security fund. In May, congregants were literally being shot at with gel-blaster guns leaving Shabbat services, with watchdog group B’nai Brith warning 2026 is shaping up to be the bloodiest year for Canadian Jews in memory. With no arrests made in most of the recent attacks, Jewish leaders say fear is becoming the defining feature of daily life in Toronto.

An LGBTQ activist is doubling down, blaming white men after a Muslim man with known Islamist associations rammed a vehicle into Berlin’s Pride festival on Saturday before attacking bystanders with a machete, leaving one person dead and several others injured. A viral video circulating online shows an unidentified pink-haired woman lamenting not the terror attack, but the public’s reaction to it. “I’m getting really, really sick of this. I’m getting really tired of having to repeat myself over and over again,” she said. “So the suspect is an Islamic extremist. That’s their suspect right now. That’s what I read. Okay, I’m not going to say anything about the rest of the Muslim population because of actions of this one person.” Then, the leftist shifted her focus and hurled unfounded accusations towards another demographic: white Christian men. “But what I can say is the people who were celebrating about this were all white men, young white men with crosses in their profiles because we’ve all seen it. We’ve all seen how you guys react towards gay people, and how you wish harm on them constantly,” she said. “I get a constant hate on my videos, especially about trans people. You’re not going to hide behind another scapegoat group and pretend that they’re actually the violent ones when it’s you.” OMG. Liberal women are blaming “white men” for the Islamic extremist who ran over people at an LGBTQ parade in Berlin. “You’re not going to scapegoat the Muslim community like they’re the violent ones, when it’s actually you (white men).” Can’t make this sht up.

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has no regrets about aggressively campaigning for Graham Platner, who later dropped out of Maine’s U.S. Senate race following explosive rape allegations. CBS anchor Margaret Brennan pressed Sanders over his support for Platner, whose failed candidacy upended the Democratic establishment and sent the party scrambling to find a new nominee just months before the November election. “You were an early supporter in Maine of Graham Platner. You helped him rise. Do you regret not acting earlier to call for him to drop out, given the warning signs?” Brennan asked. In a defiant reply, Sanders said: “No, I don’t think so. When we heard the serious allegations made against him, I wanted to get on the phone. I wanted to talk to him. I did. I asked, along with virtually all his supporters, that he should get out of the race, and he did.”  CBS: “You were an early supporter in Maine of Graham Platner, you helped him rise. Do you regret not acting earlier…given the warning signs?” BERNIE SANDERS: “No, I don’t think so.” pic.twitter.com/oImvb4luHc — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) July 26, 2026 The Daily Wire previously reported that leftists hand-picked Platner after their initial choice was found to have a major “skeleton” in his closet. Last July, two Bernie Sanders-aligned political operatives hunted for a Democrat to challenge Republican Senator Susan Collins, ultimately landing on and recruiting Platner. After a meteoric rise, Platner suspended his Senate campaign on July 8 after Democrats mounted a pressure campaign to force him out of the race following rape and sexual harassment allegations that he denies. Over the weekend, Maine Democrats hand-selected a new nominee to replace the disgraced oyster farmer: Troy Jackson. The party announced the decision on Saturday, saying that Jackson had been “formally” selected by the Maine Democratic State Committee — meaning that not a single Maine Democrat had cast a vote for him to be their nominee in that race. Maine Democrats’ Executive Director Devon Murphy-Anderson praised the move, claiming that it was just one more example of “democracy” working exactly as it should. “Democracy, while sometimes really messy, is always, always worth fighting for … doing what is right is what us Maine Democrats will choose every damn time,” she said. Kristen Cianci, the Republican Party’s New England communications director, blasted the move on X, drawing comparisons to Kamala Harris’ coronation as the Democrats’ 2024 presidential nominee. “History is repeating itself in Maine. Troy Jackson will be crowned by @MaineDems this weekend without a single vote being cast. Just like Kamala, voters will reject him when they finally get their say in November,” she said.

The Trump administration’s deportation campaign came for a former NFL player accused of several crimes, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Saturday. Former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Daniel Ogama Adongo, 37, who hails from Kenya, had multiple arrests in Indiana going back nine years before an immigration judge ultimately ordered him deported on March 23, 2026, according to ICE. The agency deported him on June 20. “This dangerous individual was clearly a threat to the community, which is now safer since he’s been removed,” ICE Chicago Assistant Field Office Director Douglas Thompson said. “Those who violate immigration law are held equally accountable, including former professional athletes,” Thompson added. This CRIMINAL and former NFL linebacker has been DEPORTED after he broke our laws. Daniel Ogama Adongo, from Kenya, has a criminal record in the U.S. that includes arrests for criminal mischief with damage, felony intimidation, battery and disorderly conduct. Our communities… https://t.co/NNsS6tVHtd pic.twitter.com/PPdYCBcq1P — Homeland Security (@DHSgov) July 25, 2026 Adongo was accused of felony intimidation, battery and disorderly conduct. He also received a conviction in 2020 for criminal mischief with damage, for which he received a 364 day sentence. The Kenyan national had overstayed his visa in 2016 after his time with the NFL ended in 2015. Andogo played for the Colts for two seasons starting from 2013 and ending in 2015, according to ICE. He was recruited to play for the team as a rugby player. “This CRIMINAL and former NFL linebacker has been DEPORTED after he broke our laws,” ICE said in an X post. “Our communities are SAFER now that this criminal is OUT of our country,” the agency said. Since Trump’s return to the White House, ICE has deported roughly 706,000 illegal immigrants, which some immigration hawks have said falls short of the goal of a mass deportation, according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data obtained by The Daily Wire. “Bed space and detention centers had to be rebuilt and 10,000 agents hired and Congress wouldn’t pass the big beautiful budget bill for the first six months. Everything is finally in place now so I’m optimistic the numbers will only climb higher from here,” Todd Bensman, who left his role as senior adviser to the ICE Office of the Director last month, recently told The Daily Wire. ICE agents have reported facing renewed pressure to increase arrest numbers. “It’s wearing everyone out,” one agency source told The Daily Wire. “And at the same time, they want big arrests … but those take time to sit and find and wait. No vehicle stops too, which is harder. So they want big arrests and numbers at the same time. It’s hard to do both, not enough time or days to do it,” the source said.

German police shot and killed a Muslim man who previously tried to join the Islamic State after he rammed a vehicle into Berlin’s Pride festival on Saturday and then attacked bystanders with a machete, leaving one person dead and several others injured. Die Zeit, a national German newspaper, reported that 21-year-old Abdul Ballout was shot and killed by police at a complex in Spandau, one of Berlin’s largest boroughs. The Associated Press also confirmed the report a short time later. Police launched a massive manhunt for Ballout, who police say deliberately drove a white van into Berlin’s Tiergarten park around 10 p.m., killing one woman and injuring at least 29 others before attacking festivalgoers with what authorities said may have been a machete. Ballout is said to have fled the “horrific scene” on foot. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt connected the attack to radical Islamist ideology. The BBC reported Sunday Ballout is a German citizen of Lebanese background who was known to police for being part of Berlin’s “Islamist scene” and had previously “committed a number of crimes.”Ballout was born in Germany, and his mother became a naturalized German citizen in 2002, three years before his birth, police told the Associated Press. The Telegraph reported Ballout is a convicted terrorist who tried to join the Islamic State terror group. German authorities previously arrested Ballout in Lebanon after accusing him of attempting to join the Islamic State in Syria and plotting a terrorist attack. Then, he was returned to Germany, where, according to Die Welt, he was sentenced to one year and 10 months in prison for plotting a “serious act of violence that threatened the state.” This is a breaking story.
