I am against the occupier, whether in Ukraine 🇺🇦 or Palestine 🇵🇸
I agree with international law, and I support the UN resolutions and ICJ findings of probable genocide in both cases.

[Kavita Algu @KavitaAlguMD]

Earlier this year, @CMA_Docs rightly stood in solidarity with "one of our own" when Alex Pretti was horrifically murdered by ICE.

Yet, they will spare no words for Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and the 14 kidnapped Palestinian doctors.

They have no words for >1,800 of our colleagues murdered in cold blood by Israel.

Why does solidarity with "our own" stop when the victims are not white skinned, @CMA_Docs?

CMA is one of Canada's top lobby groups.

They must call for our government to stop arming Israel, to sanction Israel, and to cut diplomatic ties.

This is for every loser who has ever spoken about "pro-Russian Ukrainian separatists". THIS is one of those "separatists" - a RUSSIAN ARMY GENERAL admitting that RUSSIAN FORCES deliberately killed civilians ON HIS ORDERS in Ukraine in 2014. And he's still inciting genocide today.

Amnesty International has accused Israel’s government of carrying out a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank and annexing their territory.

🧵Medicine was meant to heal, not torture.

From amputations and deliberate pain to medical blackmail and covering up abuse, Israeli medical staff have been implicated in systematic violations against Palestinian detainees

[Breaking the Silence @BtSIsrael]

We express deep concern and outrage at the Israeli High Court’s decision to reject the petition of the Association of International Development Agencies (AIDA) and 18 other international humanitarian organizations against the new registration procedure established by the Israeli government.

The procedure violates core humanitarian principles of independence and neutrality, and conditions humanitarian operations on irrelevant political considerations. The requirement to disclose sensitive personal data of Palestinian staff constitutes a breach of organizations’ duty of care, exposing their employees to surveillance and harm, not to mention that it would compel organizations to violate the privacy laws to which they are bound.

The court’s decision lends support to a policy that enables Israel to restrict the operations of international humanitarian organizations working in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and in the Gaza Strip, and thus bars Palestinians’ access to life-saving aid and essential services.

While Gaza residents face an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe following more than two and a half years of Israel’s attacks, and West Bank residents experience economic crisis and unchecked violence by settlers and Israeli security forces, Israel is using its control over humanitarian access to deepen the harm inflicted on Palestinians, all while abdicating its obligations as an occupying power under international law.

Rather than compelling the state to fulfill its obligations toward the protected population living under its control, the court has provided further backing for this policy.

We call on the international community to take concrete steps to ensure residents of the occupied Palestinian territory full, continuous, and unimpeded access to humanitarian aid and services; to protect the lives and rights of Palestinians; and to hold Israel accountable for its obligations as an occupying power under international law.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Joint violence by the military and settler militias is a central component of Israel’s ethnic cleansing policy in the West Bank.

In a violent, pre-planned attack, dozens of armed settlers accompanied by at least one soldier raided four Palestinian villages south of Nablus – Huwarah, ‘Einabus, Jama’in and ‘Asirah al-Qibliyah – on Saturday, 6 June 2026.

At least eight Palestinian residents were injured in the attack, two of them by shrapnel from gunfire. ‘Omar ‘Abd al-Hakim Dar Muhammad, 20, was admitted to intensive care with a brain hemorrhage and severe facial fractures.

The attackers caused massive damage to property and sources of income: they stole at least 44 sheep and a donkey, three vehicles, and expensive equipment from garages and from a concrete plant. They vandalized other vehicles and tried to set fire to the local council building in ‘Einabus.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Video shows Mohammad Abu Giab, a 15-year-old fisherman from Gaza, diving into the sea he loved. He was later shot dead by Israeli forces off Deir el-Balah.

Gaza's Fishermen's Syndicate says at least 238 fishermen have been killed by Israel since October 2023.

Video footage has emerged that appears to contradict the Israeli military’s account of the shooting that killed seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal in his mother’s arms, showing the family’s car slowing near a military post before soldiers opened fire. https://t.co/fVTfVmWaf9

This multi year study found nearly 1 in 5 agricultural shipments destined for the EU contained products from the illegal settlements – frequently labelled "Product of Israel".

Our governments claim to oppose the violent illegal settlements but Canada still allows these goods access to preferential trade markets.

Absolutely criminal.
