Imagine arguing about if Israel did or did not bomb a hospital when Israel has admitted and continues to block electricity from baby incubators and dialysis patients, water from surgeons and elders, food from survivors and roads after it told people to flee on them.
Israel’s playbook:
1) Commit an unthinkable atrocity like bombing a HOSPITAL killing over 500 civilians.
2) Immediately deny it.
Remember the IDF killed US journalist Shireen Abu Akleh & denied it for MONTHS, then after the newscycle moved on, admitted it shot her in the head.
#GazaGenocide #GazaHospital
the Palestinian flag banned, a woman arrested for speaking Arabic, students & organizers doxxed, people fired from their jobs for solidarity with Palestine or even just being Muslim—we are witnessing a global escalation of fascism & racism while Palestinians face genocide
While Palestinians mobilize for liberation to end years of colonial occupation, Zionists mobilize around genocidal rhetoric calling for our extermination.
Israel told 1.1 million Palestinians that have already been suffocated in the cruelest of ways in North Gaza to evacuate within 24 hours to South Gaza, then bombed them on the way. But keep “standing with Israel” and telling yourself you oppose the murder of innocent civilians.
The CNN journalist Sara Sinder who announced on air that "babies and toddlers were found with their heads decapitated" has now apologised for spreading false information.
"I needed to be more careful with my words and I am sorry....We were misled."
The Israeli military told people living in northern Gaza to evacuate their homes and go to the south.
When people left towards the south, the Israeli fighter jets bombed them on the way killing many.
Never forget this.
We're watching an Israeli genocide of Gaza.
1⃣ Killed 1500 Palestinians, 450 children, 248 women (and counting)
2⃣ Cut off food, water, electricity to Gaza. Without electricity, phones aren't charged, Palestinians can't record, & Israel can commit genocide in peace.
3⃣ Demands "evacuation" of over 1 million Gazans from the North to South Gaza, while bombing them along the way. This is cover for an impending bombardment and potential ground invasion.
4⃣ Dehumanization of Palestinians by the Western PR machine & media, effectively easing the way for genocide
5⃣ Killing journalists (8 so far) reporting on Israeli crimes, including @Reuters' Issam Abdullah today
6⃣ Targeting hospitals and densely-populated areas with white phosphorous, a chemical weapon
This is the history of genocide you read about in textbooks. God is watching. Be on the right side of history.
I feel for palestinian canadians having to go into work and pretend everything is ok. I remember in 2011 where I started my first corporate internship and someone asked me about the tamil protests 2 years earlier. I had to read the room and sink into my seat a bit.

PYM is participating in demonstrations in cities across North America in support of our people in Gaza as the Zionist occupation continues its relentless attacks. Here’s a thread of actions, happening between Friday Oct 13 - Sunday Oct 15 👇🏼👇🏼
The @NFL is choosing to host moments of silence for Israel at the start of every game this weekend starting tonight. A night in which the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 1,500 (over 500 being children), and human rights watch has confirmed that Israel has used chemical weapons on a civilian population. Refuse the erasure of Palestinian humanity. Now is the time for athletes and people of influence to stand.
Gaza is now out of fuel.
Whatever is left of their hospital system is about to collapse entirely.
With over a 1000 dead (hundreds being children), the wounded now have no treatment and aid has been shut off from all directions. Without electricity, the few voices from the ground will also disappear. What little remains of the now cut off water supply will dry up.
This is genocide. Every voice of conscience needs to raise awareness however they can and demand an end to this now.
WHEN PEOPLE ARE OCCUPIED, RESISTANCE IS JUSTIFIED: While the media has spent the past few days manufacturing consent for the indiscriminate bombing of Palestinians in Gaza, PYM members have brought forward valuable context to combat purposefully misguided media narratives.
Israel and Gaza are not two countries at war. Gaza is a territory under siege, where every aspect of life is controlled by Israel.
Palestinians didn’t break through a “border” to enter Israel. They destroyed a fence separating them from the homes they were forced out of.
