The Palestinian Olympic team was gonna spell out “This Could Be Done Via Ceasefire and Diplomatic Negotiations Rather Than Indiscriminate Bombing And Murder” but they didn’t have enough athletes because Israel has killed over 400 Palestinian athletes in the last 9 months.

Retweet this if you support Palestine's team in the Olympics🇵🇸

Horrifying.

[Independent Jewish Voices @IndJewishVoices]

Shame on @CIJAinfo for misrepresenting the facts on the dire situation in Gaza.

According to @theIPCinfo report on hunger levels published June 26, 96% of ppl in Gaza face acute food insecurity at “crisis” level or higher. https://t.co/NuBR5CazXj

The Anarchist Lunch will charm and inspire a new generation of activists https://t.co/MLAzjg3JKQ

A lovely review of The Anarchist Lunch by Vancouver activist and writer Tom Sandborn.

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

The fact that @KatrinaCBurnaby is just showing the compassion and heartbreak that most of humanity is feeling right now…

Should not subject her to a disgusting rain of hate and abuse.

But that’s what the extremist pro-Israel groups do.

CIJA: on the wrong side of genocide.

Jewish Dartmouth professor @AnneliseOrleck1 (65) says yeah, I feel unsafe on campus.

But not because of my students and their Palestine protests, because of police who body slammed me on the ground and arrested me for protecting kids.

And calls out New Hampshire Governor @ChrisSununu spreading misinformation about protests being antisemitic.

It’s a @DOXAFestival double-header on the #YVRScreenScenePodcast! The filmmakers behind The Anarchist Lunch and Between Pictures: The Lens of Tamio Wakayama discuss the remarkable activists at the heart of their documentaries. @RachelEpstein3 https://t.co/156wNaaKCk

[Joseph Planta @Planta]

I talked to @RachelEpstein3 about her new doc The Anarchist Lunch, which screens @DOXAFestival this week. It's about a group, her father Norman among them, who meet regularly for lunch. It's starts out social & ends up changing their lives https://t.co/0HY7cmUQ3e

@broadbent @AccessBC @TealePB @devonblack Mazel tov again, Sheila!

[Yonah Lieberman 🔥 @YonahLieberman]

More than 2,000 students have been arrested in the last two weeks for protesting Israel’s indiscriminate bombing campaign in Gaza.

0 people have been arrested for this violent mob attack on students at UCLA three days ago.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

German police arrest Jews protesting a genocide. You can’t make this shit up.

[Rachel Epstein she/her @RachelEpstein3]

@CCPA_Ont @SheilaBlockTO Mazel tov to the wonderful and talented Sheila Block. Much deserved recognition for their brilliance and commitment. Yay Sheila!

[CCPA Ontario @CCPA_Ont]

Delighted to see the wonderful @SheilaBlockTO receive the Charles Taylor Prize for Excellence in Policy Research! Well-deserved recognition for a brilliant, progressive career. #onpoli #cdnpoli #cdnecon

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

This genocide is changing history.

Longstanding narratives are being laid to rest, buried in the rubble of Gaza.

⛔️Israel guarantees Jewish safety
🙅🏻‍♂️The IDF is "the most moral army in the world"
🚫Canada is an honest broker

My thoughts from a recent @FacultyJewish event:

[Shree Paradkar//श्री पराडकर 🍁 @ShreeParadkar]

It’s not that people don’t know that an industrial-scale killing machine whirs just beyond their garden wall. It’s that they learned to live contentedly with ambient genocide. This feels most contemporary about Glazer’s staggering film: ⁦⁦Naomi Klein https://t.co/JnuokkEoQ2

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is an immensely satisfying must-watch: extraordinary rebuke of Scholtz by Malaysia's Prime Minister, while standing right next to him.

"You cannot find a solution by being so one-sided, in terms of looking only at one particular issue and erase 60 years of atrocities.

The solution is not just releasing the hostages. What about the settlements? What about the behavior of the settlers now? It continues daily!

What about the dispossession? Their land, their right, their dignity, their men, their women, their children? Are these of no concern? Where have we thrown away our humanity? Why this hypocrisy?"
