Today we are celebrating my dad @DrGaborMate's 80th birthday. He was born in Budapest on January 6th 1944, two months before Nazi Germany occupied Hungary.
He was able to escape the Jewish ghetto after his mother, Judy, gave him to a stranger on the street, who agreed to take him to cousins in a safer area.
Staying in a cold, overcrowded flat, they kept him warm by sleeping on each side of him. After reuniting with his parents, who managed to survive, they fled to Canada along with his brother Janos in 1956. Living in Vancouver, he became a student activist, writer, high school teacher, doctor, healer, and renowned author.
He and my mom Rae taught me and brother Daniel and sister Hannah from an early age to be uncompromising about the truth, both the personal and political, and to stand up for the oppressed, especially the Palestinians occupied in our name.
On his 80th birthday, I honor his life and all that he has given to me and to the world.
And my wish is that today's modern-day Jewish ghettos — the Gaza death camp and occupied West Bank — will be liberated from today's modern-day Nazis, the Israeli government, so that every Palestinian can have the same freedom to follow their life path that my dad has been fortunate to have.
Western values:
- Throw your parents in a nursing home the minute they become a burden on you
- kick your children out of your house at 18
- live an individualistic life where you hide if you see your neighbor coming so that you don’t have to say hello
- make sure your friend gives you the $1 he owes you from last week’s dinner
- fake democracy, freedom of speech and fake human rights
- don’t wash your ass after you poop
Et de votre voix pour inspirer le changement. Tuer des enfants, éradiquer toute une population, les laisser sans eau électricité ou nourriture est un crime envers l'humanité, its called G.E.N.0.C.I.D.E et votre voix compte dans la lutte pour la justice #justice#palestine
Hello Twitter ! Même si je ne suis pas aussi actif ici que sur instagram, ou on m'a bloqué BTW (freedomofspeech). Je tiens à vous encourager à continuer de dénoncer les injustices et à partager ce qui se passe à Gaza. Ne sous-estimez jamais le pouvoir des RS

@alexkan19373187 Okay User7463838. You can tell this to the fifa on 2026 when 11 african team will go to the world cup instead of 5 😉
Haters gonna hate as usual but we too busy celebrating history as the First African team made it to semi finals. Chill, respectfully
So proud of our national team ❤🇲🇦
Beyond playing football they showed the world what Morrocans are made of : pride, humility, dedication, and family values 🥰 Can't ask for a better representation of africans/ amazighs / muslims/ arabs ❤
▪️ First African team in the semifinals
▪️ Took down Belgium, Spain and Portugal
▪️ Topped their group
▪️ Kept four clean sheets
Morocco’s historic run comes to an end, but what a run it was 👏
If Balenciaga did something that offended the LGBT community, every celebrity would have cut ties instantly.
They promoted child porn and nearly every celebrity is silent. Really makes you think, huh?
