@SMohyeddin@WCKitchen Canada should uphold its commitment to human rights -
· Sanction I5r43l now.
· Enforce a full, two-way arms embargo.
· Revoke citizenship of dual nationals committing war crimes.
· Strip non-profit status from organizations funding illegal settlements.
Israel has killed 10 more people today in Gaza. Including a @WCKitchen driver. Ahmad Nasser Saleem was taking food to hungry people. He is the eleventh World Central Kitchen worker to be killed by Israel.
🧵Before becoming a UN expert I spent years researching forced displacement in Palestine since the advent of Zionism and British colonialism.
A refuge for millions, for Palestine's Indigenous people Israel meant catastrophe. Once you know you cant unknow. The rest is integrity 👇
This charming gentleman is Evyatar Bar Peled.
"Go back to Russia", he shouted at me in his own heavy Eastern European accent.
Evyatar is one of the leaders of Barqai terror outpost, which has been targeting Umm al-Kheir with violent attacks for the past weeks.
Make him famous.
BREAKING: Pro-Palestine activists have disrupted a presentation by Werner Vogels, Amazon vice president and Chief Technology Officer, at the UN’s “AI for Good” summit in Switzerland.
Palestinian civil society strongly condemns the UN International Telecommunication Union’s shameful partnership with criminal tech companies in this summit, particularly Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, Oracle, and IBM. In providing cloud infrastructure and AI technologies to the Israeli war ministry, these companies are deeply complicit in Israel's military occupation, apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians.
Project Nimbus, the joint $1.22 billion contract between Google and Amazon signed in 2021, provides cloud and AI tech services to the Israeli government and the Israeli military. It enables the Israeli military to run deadly AI programs such as Lavender and Gospel — crucial to its ongoing, livestreamed genocide in Gaza.
We call for global pressure on the UN and its member States to end all UN partnership and contracts with these and similarly complicit corporations, and on Amazon and Google to drop their genocidal Project Nimbus.
Scandalous.
18 months in arbitrary detention. No charge. No evidence. Torture attested by his lawyer, marks visible on his body.
And instead of covering this, @BBC amplifies Israel's unproven claims casting doubt on a hostage doctor.
>BBC's journalism in the time of genocide.
Gaza community figure, Mohammed al-Wahidi was killed in an Israeli air strike just moments before displaced children gathered to watch Egypt face Argentina in a World Cup screening he organised.
“What Trump and Musk and the rest of them really believe is that their wealth should be able to buy them out of having to face the law.”
In the latest ‘Unshocked’ @mehdirhasan and @NaomiAKlein break down the trillionaire class and its belief that wealth can buy them impunity.
My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.
Many in positions of influence are silent to the Gaza 🇵🇸 genocide
Not Hossam Hassan, Egypt’s 🇪🇬⚽️ coach:
‘No matter your nationality’
‘Thousands of children murdered’
‘Don’t be silent’
‘A shame on all of us’
‘Let Palestinians 🇵🇸 live’
👏
Egypt 🇪🇬 ⚽️ out
They will be missed.
Israeli forces demolished a house belonging to a Palestinian detainee near the Masafer Yatta area in the southern occupied West Bank, citing unlicensed construction.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, held in Israeli prisons without charge since December 2024, is being tortured and on the verge of death, according to his lawyer who found him badly beaten on July 2nd.

Israel Engaged in Illicit Foreign Interference in Canada: Report
A recent @cjpme report details how the Israeli government is covertly trying to influence Canadian public affairs. Canadian officials have yet to comment directly on the report. https://t.co/x4tiQtkqCW
The Israeli state has repeatedly engaged in illicit foreign interference in Canada, yet the Canadian government refuses to speak about it. Thank you @TheGrindTO for pushing public officials for answers about our report. https://t.co/E0AaIEck8z
We are deeply disturbed by the racist and Islamophobic attack targeting hijabi Muslim women, as well as the physical assault and hateful slurs directed at a Muslim man at Halifax Costco this past weekend.
We are in contact with those affected and with Halifax Regional Police.
No one should face hate or fear while simply grocery shopping with their family.
We call on all elected officials in Nova Scotia and Canada to publicly condemn this incident and to take concrete actions to formulate a national strategy against this massive rise in violent Islamophobia in recent months.
We also thank the bystander who intervened against the man, and the Costco security staff who acted to remove the individual.
Please see this important speech from Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas during this year's Calgary Stampede, where he emphasized the importance of uniting to beat back misinformation and hatred that fuels the current rise in Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism across Canada.
Only a collective and constructive effort across Canada between community members and leaders can build a real path forward.
It's time to work together and look out for one another.
