NOW: Jewish activists in Toronto have just covered the steps of the Israeli consulate with 'blood' to make visible Israel's ongoing genocide, with Canada's direct support. Israel and Canada have blood on their hands. We refuse to allow this slaughter to continue. #ArmsEmbargoNow

CBC Language Guide prohibits using the term “colonization" and a senior producer said Palestine is "outdated" term.

Manufacturing consent for genocide.

In #Gaza, children are not starting school.

Instead of welcoming 45,000 first-graders for their first year, schools are being destroyed by relentless shelling, costing the lives of children and civilians.

Children, teachers and schools are #NotATarget

Incredibly damning thread showing how the owner of the biggest podcast network in the country is intentionally targeting BIPOC people who speak out against genocide.

Seeing a few Israeli dead getting more attention than tens of thousands of Palestinian dead highlights the racist dehumanization. Israelis are given the right to a story, a family, a context to their life and death. Palestinians are barely allowed a statistic that keeps going up.

[safia aidid @safiyaaaay]

thinking about Judith Butler on grievability. Palestinians cannot be mourned in death because they have never counted as lives to begin with. We know this, we see it elsewhere too, but sometimes the hierarchy of human life is so clear it takes your breath away.

WOW: So all hostages could have been free

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

2 things have happened in Gaza in the last 24 hours:
1) Israel killed 47 Palestinians
2) 6 Israeli hostages were found dead

As you reflect on why only one of these stories is dominating the headlines, there are 5 more things to keep in mind 🧵👇:

This will have global impacts.

“The opinion was provided in response to a request from the UN general assembly in 2022. It precedes the Gaza conflict and is not directly linked to it but will add to the pressure on Israel – and its allies – to bring an end to its military offensive…”

The UN’s international court of justice has ordered Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories “as rapidly as possible” and make full reparations for its “internationally wrongful acts.” https://t.co/h4TW8ur6Bl
