in 2006 Israel invaded Lebanon, as the entire Western media class cheered it on as they are now. George Galloway was invited onto Sky News, and utterly destroyed their propaganda. Here is a thread of the entire exchange, beginning with him exposing the "reporter" for what she is:
Julia Ramadan, who spent her last day collecting food for the displaced, has died from wounds after the Israeli strike in Saida. Her mother was killed too.
She dedicated her final moments to helping others.
Say her name. Remember her life. These are not just numbers.
What @UofT president Meric Gertler says here translates into something scandalous.
UofT sued around 10 of their students, including myself, spending $1 million to ruin our lives by falsely accusing us of antisemitism and hate.
I am exploring all legal options against @UofT.

I’m hearing folks say liquor privatization won’t matter because businesses pay taxes on sales.
Unfortunately that’s not true. LCBO generates revenue-not just tax proceeds-that make up that $2.5B. Loblaws isn’t going to hand over their profit to fund healthcare and education.
This has been a lovely week, I've been nominated for two Killer Nashville Awards, a Claymore and A Silver Falchion. Claymore for my unpublished WIP 'A Desolate Grave,' and the Falchion for my latest published book, 'Blood Relations'. Happy dance here. :-)
Thread: My first-hand experience with Israeli kidnapping. Forget about Palestine for a second, this is about Lebanon. In June 1982, Israel started bombing Lebanon. In the middle-class Muslim neighborhood where I lived, Israeli fighter jets started dropping concussion bombs which
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: "These four hostages could have walked out peacefully on the basis of a ceasefire agreement agreed by Hamas and rejected by the Israeli extremists... There is no justification whatsoever in killing 270+... This was another major war crime."
