Calgary Opera in Canada removes bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega from future performances of the opera Tosca after he raised a Palestinian flag during the curtain call on opening night.
لم تكتب السينما هذا الرعب، ولم يتخيله كاتب
بل عاشته طفلة في غزة، حين صار الموت نارا تطاردها في بيتها، وصار العالم شاهدا لا يرتجف.
هذه الصورة ينبغي أن تُحرك فيكم ساكنا.. لا سمح الله
There is no moral difference between putting people in gas chambers and burning children in homes in Gaza.
A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.
Today in 🇨🇦 we march for our Palestinian colleagues.
We mourn the beautiful souls martyred.
We call for the release of all Palestinian hostages, including almost 100 healthworkers.
To our Palestinian brothers & sisters – we are with you as you fight for liberation.

Thanks @CBCNews IDEAS - the brilliant Naheed Mustafa for interviewing 5 Canadian Eyewitnessgaza doctors who've been to Gaza since the genocide started in October 2023
This is one of the finest pieces of journalism I've ever had the honor to be part of .
Have a listen : Bearing Witness, from EyeWitnessGaza physicians

Listen to 🇨🇦 doctors talk about witnessing genocide in Gaza. Horrific.
Dr. Eman Loubani
Dr. Ben Thomson @BenNephrology
Dr. Rizwan Minhas
Dr. Mel Brecknell
Dr. Noor Amin
They talk about the heart wrenching things they saw and say that this genocide does not need the medical skills of Canadian doctors but there must be a political solution to end the genocide in Palestine.
Our very own governments and medical institutions have integral roles to play in the continuation of these horrors and we all have an obligation to act.
The genocide is ongoing. It must be stopped.

Recorded months ago, this was the first time I spoke publicly about the anti-Palestinian racism I experienced at Sinai Health in Toronto, when I started advocating against the genocide in Palestine.
The hospital hired a lawfirm that sponsors the Walk for Israel to oversee the process.
What we go through is nothing compared to what our colleagues in Palestine are enduring, but the widespread silencing by our institutions is a tool that helps enable the ongoing genocide and we must collectively push back against it.
Our colleagues in Palestine are still fighting for the health and liberation of their people, and we have a duty to stand in solidarity, take material actions, and keep throwing stones into the gears of genocide – until Palestine is Free.
Thank you for the conversation, Everyday Orientalism (whose Twitter account was suspended...).

أحد المشاهد التي ربما لم تراها من حرب الابادة نشرها جنود الاحتلال أنفسهم متفاخرين بصنعهم!
وهم يطلقون النار على أب يحاول سحب جثمان طفله الذي قتلوه قبله!
لا تصالح!
لا تغفر!
لا تنسى أن الذي سال ويسيل دم وليس ماء!
