@mehdirhasan sits down with former HRW Israel and Palestine director Omar Shakir after the organization blocked his report on Palestinian refugees

[Omar Shakir @OmarSShakir]

I've resigned from @hrw after 10+ yrs—most as Israel/Palestine Director—after HRW's new ED pulled a finalized report on the right of return for Palestinian refugees on eve of its release & blocked for weeks its publication in a principled way. Full story: https://t.co/npbjjwBqf5

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately.

Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived.

They are demanding action from Mark Carney.

Their testimony is our failure.

Tell me you don’t care about women and gender equity without telling me you don’t care about women and gender equity.

For the 🇨🇦 women's rights and feminist organizations at #CSW69, news of the removal of the Women's and Gender Equality from the Cabinet comes as a major disappointment.

This sends the wrong message.

Some of us have come together to draft a statement.

Centrists across Western democracies continue to use lazy analysis for their failures that throw marginalized communities under the bus.

Maybe the half-assed approach to co-opting progressive movements for political gain sucks for everyone in the long run🤷🏿‍♀️

[Tarek Loubani @trklou]

This is a strong letter by courageous members of parliament demanding the Canadian government take real action on Israel's attacks on Canadian medical teams. Canada must act now.

Admist the chaos and drama of news, I'm proud to be the first hijab-wearing woman on an official Olympic broadcast in Canada. I am acutely aware that my sisters in France do not have access to sport in the very same country I'm covering. I intend to amplify those stories i'A.

Israel told the world that displaced Palestinians in Rafah would be safe.

Israel lied.

Tonight, Israel is burning entire families alive—among them babies.

It is an unspeakable massacre.

Sanctions and arms embargoes on Israel now.

No more hollow statements and condemnations.

Ireland, Spain and Norway announced they will soon recognize the State of Palestine.

The State of Palestine already exists under international law. It is time for Canada to join the growing number of countries recognizing it.

Here is my statement:

[Council of Canadians @CanadiansOrg]

The pharmacare bill has gone to committee stage and guess who has the most seats at the table?

Of the 15 non-government witnesses who've been asked to testify,
💊 5 are reps from pharma or insurance lobby groups
💰 4 are orgs or individuals funded by Big Pharma

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

With the ICC seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gallant, Canada must publicly support the charges and cooperate in the arrest and prosecution of Israeli officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The names of the 15,000+ Palestinian children murdered by Israel in Gaza.

The first 35 seconds are the names of those under 1 year old. Babies and toddlers.

This video is 7 minutes long.

Read that again.

This is a holocaust.

Peaceful protest is a human right.
Freedom of expression is a human right.

After mass arrests at Columbia University in April, student protests over hostilities in Israel and Palestine have spread across the globe.

About as close as you can get to saying “go back to your country” without saying “go back to your country..

The situation in Rafah continues to deteriorate. Libre, @glia_intl logistics coordinator relays the devastation as Israeli forces continue their brutal war on civilians and the medical infrastructure that supports them.

[Fae Johnstone 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @FaeJohnstone]

Called it. It’s not just about trans people. It’s about controlling our bodies and restricting healthcare social conservatives disagree with.

We won’t let them get away with it.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Forcing 1 million+ displaced Palestinians in Rafah to again flee without a safe place to go is unlawful & catastrophic. There is nowhere safe to go in Gaza.

[Emina Ćerimović @EminaCerimovic]

“What will I do if they invade Rafah?,” Ghazal, a 14-year-old girl w. cerebral palsy who had lost her wheelchair in an attack.
Ghazal is just one of 1.5 mil. ppl currently trapped in Rafah, who had already fled multiple attacks.
Where are they expected to flee now? And how?

“Restricting access to #abortion does not decrease the number of abortions, it just decreases the number of SAFE abortions” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Insiya Mankani @InsiyaMankani]

Can we have a moment for #Canada’s youth delegate at #CPD57? Her statement highlighted the need for states to provide better access to safe abortion, contraceptive access, and comprehensive sexuality education 🎉🎉🎉
