Truth

[BoycottIndigoBooks @NotoIndigo]

🧵 1/15 Disgraced journalist, @JesseBrown , has launched a new podcast called “What is Happening Here?” an apt title as we continuously asked ourselves this very question while listening to episode 2 titled, “The Purge.”

Looking for a #Christmas present that is fun, meaningful & helps do some good in this savage world gone mad? Consider gifting a Palestinian #cuisine cookbook. Here are a few awesome ones that would delight any #foodie.

[Yipeng Ge 葛义朋 @yipengGe]

Here is my opening statement at the House of Commons committee hearing today on “protection of freedom of expression”. Anti-Palestinian racism is a freedom of expression issue. Shame on @uOttawaMed and @CMA_Docs.

[ICLMG @ICLMG]

On Oct 15, #Canada placed the #Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network on its terrorist entities list.
While ostensibly a security tool, the list is an arbitrary political tool that undermines freedom of association, freedom of expression & due process in the courts. 1/

Health workers from around world who are #EyeWitnessGaza will release video testimonies of horrors we saw

We met @JustinTrudeau office in November. 19 health workers signed letter to him+ @melaniejoly

Their response?
Silence.
Complicity

The BBC changed the headline because of your outrage.

Never stop fighting the dehumanisation of the Palestinian people as they are butchered with Western complicity.

Doing so is literally a matter of life and death.

[Scottish Sport for Palestine @ScotSport4Pal]

@FIFA doesn't want you to know it can expel Israel on Saturday 20th July for gross violations of its own Statutes and Palestinian human rights. Please take 10 seconds to tell its Council Members to urgently #RedCardIsrael to isolate it internationally https://t.co/AcZ9RIO88s

Being Jewish doesn’t equal Zionism

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

a Zionist fanatic at the Oxford Union angrily asks George Galloway if he is racist because of his opposition to the genocidal Israeli occupation, and is applauded by the audience. Here's Galloway's response that gets the audience to applaud him by the end:

As a fellow Jewish person, we need to advocate for humanity for everyone. As a parent in the BC school system, I know @bctf can do better.

[Tara Olivetree @TaraOlivetree]

Disappointed to hear this. HAEAs affiliation with @CIJAinfo means they likely support the discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism which can stoke anti Palestinian racism. Not the values @bctf should support. #bced

Civilians in Gaza are starving. the EU should not stop funding @UNRWA 's lifesaving operations.

Israeli forces have demonstrated a chilling indifference to the catastrophic toll on civilians of their ongoing relentless bombardment of the occupied Gaza Strip.

[MSF International @MSF]

On 18 November 2023, an MSF staff’s relative died and another one was injured in an attack on an MSF convoy trying to evacuate 137 people - MSF Palestinian staff members and their families. MSF condemns in the strongest terms this deliberate attack. https://t.co/fm3KOLblkM

We embarked on a research project that brought teachers who are Aboriginal or Indigenous, Black, and people of colour together to learn about their experiences & perspectives on police in #bced schools. Here's a thread on what we found.

Finances shouldn’t be a barrier to IVF for Canadians who need it, like me. Why are there 5 provinces that provide public funding but the rest including BC are left with….zero? It should be equal across Canada. @JustinTrudeau @adriandix @DonDavies @PattyHajdu

Who’s with me?
