@SMohyeddin @EHimmelblau I think most people understand the difference between an author and a supporter. Its unclear what exactly is the point you are trying to make. Of course you understand Iran better than most of us, but it’s strange to see the woman life freedom movement being discredited

@SMohyeddin Tell me where you mentioned speaking with signatories and the number of people that you spoke with. Academic research is quite different from journalism. Unlike journalism, there is more depth, accountability and transparency and less sensationalism in academic work.

@Replying2Trash @jcc_montreal There is also a clip of this Zionist assaulting a photographer

@JesseBrown Yes, we are worried about antisemitism https://t.co/G8mcZkpJYR

At rally today supporting Montreal city council vote to oppose genocide this guy assaulted an activist photographer & called a visibly Jewish activist a “faggot”. A block away he boasted about killing Palestinians & planning to go back to kill more

NEW: B’nai Brith Canada won’t rent units in its Toronto apartment buildings to non-Jews, according to property management reps.

I called pretending to be interested in their buildings. Here’s what they told me…

@CTVNews In what other context do we ask a criminal to investigate & hold themselves accountable? Canada has repeatedly allowed Netanyahu’s plane to fly in Canadian airspace; we continue to arm Israel so that they can keep on violating the « ceasefire ». Let’s hold Canada accountable

There is a war on—but there are also executions taking place in Iran.

I don’t see the critics of the Open Letter suggesting that the repression should be suspended while the war takes place, but speaking up for Iranian prisoners should be paused.

[Azra Rashid, PhD @AzraRashid]

@darcwood7 @SMohyeddin Really? Would you be able to provide any reliable evidence for that? The protesters who were incarcerated and executed by the Iranian regime were all CIA agents?

@terrynewman In one of the videos, he says he is a zionist who has killed many Palestinians and will return to kill more.

[Azra Rashid, PhD @AzraRashid]

@terrynewman It’s great that you are not even trying to hide your racist views anymore

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Israel has said that paper kites flown by Palestinian children will be treated as weapons of war.

Read that again.

This is the reality of genocide: the total destruction of innocence, freedom and joy.

End all military cooperation with Israel, now.

@susanabulhawa Just in the last few years, IIran has arrested and executed protesters demanding rights and freedom. Iran's oppressive regime, in the very least, owes something to their own people

[Azra Rashid, PhD @AzraRashid]

This is an important vote for those of us in Montreal and those who want to see accountability and justice being an integral part of our politics

Montreal council to vote on motion calling for suspension of ties with Israel https://t.co/GBeIiS2Pge

@Kjell_Anderson Kinda like the last election. But the rhetoric of sovereignty in Alberta & Quebec showed that this kind of reactionary unity does not last long and does not necessarily include the Indigenous peoples. Carney's approval ratings started declining just before this new episode

@DropSiteNews There are many activists and academics who signed this letter. It deserves better investigation from drop site news than simply quoting one signatory. It is a plausible position to denounce both US/Israeli attacks on Iran and the oppressive Iranian regime.
