Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers is returning her TFCA award best supporting performance in a Canadian film, following the organization's decision to censor her acceptance speech during Monday night's gala.

Here are excerpts from Elle-Máijá's email to the TFCA, shared with permission.

Israel has “killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined” https://t.co/4NWrUHQ9Av

In Gaza, Israelis are burning people alive, starving people to death. In Jerusalem, they are launching pogroms that resemble Nazi Germany. In the West Bank, they're settling trees and cattle on fire. And yet not one Israeli ambassador has been expelled from any Western country.

I lost 3 of my cousins today. The real question to ask now is what is enough for IsraHell.

[Aliya Pabani @aliyapabani]

If you're wondering how our leaders can let children be burned alive and do nothing, remember that they've been watching who is in the streets, who is willing to withhold labour, who is willing to sacrifice material comforts to prevent this. Outrage isn't nearly enough.

In case you didn’t know, @CineplexMovies is peddling a Zionist propoganda film in Canadian theatres as an active genocide is being live-streamed. Consent being manufactured through legacy media wasn’t enough. Time to bring it to the big screen I guess! Fucking disgusting.

I just contributed to help Ren during this incredibly tough time. Losing Harlow has left a huge hole. Let's support her through this journey. Every little bit counts. Please share. https://t.co/MHxPHxd01V

Boycott Berlinale.

The Berlin International Film Festival remains deeply complicit in the German government’s partnership in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

UN Special Committee finds Israel’s warfare methods in Gaza consistent with genocide, including use of starvation as weapon of war.

We knew.

I'm just going to start saying the UAE/RSF militia when referring to them from now on since they wouldn't be committing these massacres without the UAE. The UAE funds & supplies them with weapons & even evacuates injured fighters to Abu Dhabi for top care. The UAE is the militia

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

Israel's war on Gaza is a genocide, says U.N. rights expert @franceskalbs, who has just released a new report titled "Genocide as Colonial Erasure." There has not only been a failure to prevent genocide, but it has been "enabled through the various organs of the state," she says.

[Electronic Intifada @intifada]

UN report states that "Israeli helicopters were present at the Nova site and may have shot at targets on the ground, including civilian vehicles." It's likely that the Israeli military may have used the Hannibal Directive at the festival on 7 October 2023, says @AsaWinstanley.
