Herzliya was named after the founder of political Zionism Theodor Herzl. It was built over the lands of three Palestinian villages that were ethnically cleansed & destroyed by Israel in 1948: Ijlil al-Shamaliyya, Ijlil al-Qibliyya, & al-Haram (Sayyiduna 'Ali). 1/
The footage out of Gaza the last few days has been horrifying, but the footage tonight is reminiscent of what we witnessed day in and day out through 2023 and 2024.
One friend in Nuseirat camp said that tonight was the worst night they’d experienced. It is the day before Eid al Adha and Israel, the ethno-supremacist Jewish nation it is, is slaughtering Palestinians as it always does before Islamic holidays.
He was shot in the head by an Israeli drone.
Anand makes no mention of this but politely asks Israel to “cease its attacks.”
If you’re Canadian and Israel kills you, this is the absolute most you can expect from this government.
@CIJAinfo CIJA does not speak for Canada’s Jews.
It’s the creation of a handful of corrupt billionaires.
It has no democratic process.
It has no membership.
It is an anti-Palestinian hate organization.
@AnitaAnandMP After 81 years of diplomatic relations with Cuba, Canada refuses to offer any meaningful assistance as the country endures blatantly illegal aggression from the United States. The moral bankruptcy of the Canadian government reaches new lows each day.
You can repeat this all you want, scream it until you are blue in the face.
That doesn't make any of it true.

In the abstract fantasy world, Zionism is the support of a Jewish homeland.
In the real world, it is the absolute destruction of Palestinian society, theft of their entire country and murder of untold thousands of innocent people. It is racist and genocidal.
We don't judge things by their ideal, theoretical version.
We judge based on how they manifest into reality.
I am an anti-Zionist Jew. It took me decades of watching Israel in action before I could get over the luftmench fantasy of Zionism and see what Zionism actually is and does in this world. That's why the moral choice for every person is to be anti-Zionist.
Anti-Zionism has nothing whatsoever to do with antisemitism, which every moral person, of course, opposes.
Cancel your World Cup tickets, cancel your travel plans to the US. Embargo the fuck out of us. Sanction our athletes, our businesses. Do whatever you gotta do, world.
Today Canada is incapable of stating the obvious; that one party has violated *the most basic rule* of international law since Nuremberg: the prohibition of aggression. Shameful and terrifying.
.@KNEECAPCEOL has a new message for 🇨🇦 MP Vince Gasparro, after both Canada Border Services Agency and Prime Minister Carney’s office, confirm the government of Canada had not banned the Irish rap trio.
“Today we are serving legal action against you.” 👇
It is clear that with this ceasefire Western governments and media want us all to let bygones be bygones.
Never. Israel committed a genocide, we all witnessed the most obscene violence it is possible to imagine, and we need to see the perpetrators locked up in The Hague.
Wait so Zionists seriously expected everything to go back to how it was before and for everyone to start treating Israel like a normal country?
That's adorable.
