The Coalition for Canadian Accountability in Gaza (CCAG), led by @LCPal_ca, is taking the Canadian government to Court for alleged violations of the Genocide Convention and of Palestinian-Canadian's Charter Rights.
A video from our partners @Justice48org breaks the case down:
Today, BCCLA President, Hasan Alam, spoke at a press conference in support of Amy Blanding, who was removed from her position by the Northern Health Authority for exercising her right to speak out in support of Palestinian human rights in her personal time.

Belgium condemns the attack on a school in #Gaza.
According to @UN, more than 20 strikes on schools sheltering displaced people took place since July 4, killing nearly 300 people.
❌Attacks against civilians must stop. #IHL must be respected. We repeat our call for a ceasefire.
