Take 1 minute to sign. A friend has been detained after being kidnapped and tortured while consulting for a humanitarian organization. He’s unequivocally the kindest person you’d meet and deserves attention https://t.co/LukvpAF8nR

[Agnes Callamard @AgnesCallamard]

A consensus is emerging: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Thanks to the @guardian for pointing to the increasing list of organisations and scholars concluding that Palestinians in Gaza are the victims of a genocide. See a short list below.

The main question though is not whether a genocide is happening. But What are our governments doing to prevent and stop the genocide in Gaza? Unfolding in front of our very eyes, day after day?

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

CJPME welcomes @CanadaUN's support for 2 UN resolutions today that call for a ceasefire, condemn Israel’s attacks on UNRWA & reject efforts to starve Palestinians. Canada is right to join the rest of the world in standing up to Israel’s genocidal starvation policies in Gaza.

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

Canada opposes a full-scale Israeli military operation in Rafah. The impact on the more than 1 million civilians—incl. Cdns—currently seeking refuge there would be devastating.

Canada reiterates its calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the release of hostages.

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

Staggering. The number of children reported killed in just over 4 months in #Gaza is higher than the number of children killed in 4 years of wars around the world combined.

This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future.

#ceasefireNow for the sake of children in #Gaza

[Hichkas @HichkasOfficial]

The internet blackout by the Islamic Republic has started. Words can't describe the feelings when all of a sudden a nation disappeares on the internet. People who have been trying everything online to be heard.

Now that they can't be here, please be their voice.

Saving whales is essential in the fight against the #climatecrisis. If they go they may take us with them.

We're all in this together. We have the solutions. Time to break free from fossil fuels and implement them.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

To remember Ahmaud Arbery, thousands of people shared photos of themselves on 2.23 mile runs — a nod to the date of his killing — with #IRunWithMaud. He was “a bright light in this world of darkness,” a friend who helped start the hashtag said.
