@AlexNeve24 & @MichaelLynk5 Among other critical needs (immediate ceasefire, release of hostages & humanitarian corridor…a Cnd foreign policy reset…an end to the occupation, Palestinian statehood) now is the time to acknowledge our shared history of intergenerational trauma.

[Alex Neve @AlexNeve24]

Writing with @sharryaiken & @MichaelLynk5 in our @TorontoStar op-ed:

"What is needed now is not more bombs and military assaults. What is needed is a bold human rights agenda and dialogue...

Let's give human rights a chance."

@AlexNeve24 and I are pleased to share the latest issue of @PKIJournal on refugee "responsibility sharing". 14 contributions, all pointing to serious protection gaps in agreements that shirk responsibility & flout legal obligations:
