The UN couldn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered and maimed by Israel. Why? Because they feared Israel would respond by killing and maiming the families of the children.

Painting of Rania with her beloved twin babies, Wesan & Naeem, in burial shrouds - by Irish artist and activist Anne-Marie Farrell. Rania waited for them for eleven years of infertility, they were her little miracles. At 6 months old they were murdered along with her husband & 11 family members when the IOF bombed the Al-Salam neighborhood in Rafah, Gaza Strip, on March 3 2024. I have no words to describe the loss this mother, endured... her entire world decimated in a second like so many.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been exposed. This video shows three young men trying to help an injured person, but Israel bombs them with a missile, killing them all. A moment the world must never forget.

I visited the southernmost tip of India. I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth. And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation. The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not. Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored. They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland. What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land. Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered. I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for. #GreenOverGreed #NicobarMatters #WorldEnvironmentDay

The Jewish National Fund offers maybe the starkest institutional example of the shift within the left establishment regarding colonial Jewish supremacy. A decade ago, leading left politicians participated in the explicitly racist organization’s events and now prominent figures are pulling out of forums because of their affiliation to the JNF. In a positive sign, David Suzuki (and a second speaker) recently withdrew from a forum established by JNF Canada with support from the Israeli government. The prominent environmentalist was scheduled to headline an upcoming Climate Solutions Prize (CSP) event but withdrew when people pointed out that the CSP was instigated by the land thieving organization. Suzuki labelled the JNF “a controversial group”. Unfortunately, it hasn’t always been this way in green and left circles. In 2013 Green Party leader Elizabeth May attended a JNF Ottawa fundraiser, which I and dozens of others protested. Erasing the existence of the indigenous Palestinians, May lauded “the great work that’s [the JNF] done in making the desert bloom.” Three years later May successfully diluted a Green party resolution — strongly endorsed by members in an online poll prior to the convention — calling for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to revoke the JNF’s charitable status. Another ‘left’ political party has had far greater ties to the JNF. In 2016 NDP foreign affairs critic Hélène Laverdière participated in a JNF tree planting ceremony in Jerusalem. During a visit to Israel with Canada’s Governor General, the NDP’s foreign critic attended a ceremony with JNF World Chairman Danny Atar and a number of other top officials of the JNF (KKL in Israel). During the Harper regime NDP MP Pat Martin spoke at a JNF event at the prime minister’s residence in Ottawa to “recognize and thank the people that have helped to make JNF Canada what it is today.” Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter planted a tree at a JNF garden in 2011. Manitoba NDP Premier Gary Doer was honoured at a 2006 JNF Negev Dinner in Winnipeg and cabinet minister Christine Melnick received the same honour in 2011. During a 2010 trip to Israel subsequent Manitoba NDP Premier Greg Selinger signed an accord with the JNF to jointly develop two bird conservation sites while water stewardship minister Melnick spoke at the opening ceremony for a park built in Jaffa by the JNF, Tel Aviv Foundation and Manitoba-Israel Shared Values Roundtable. It’s not like these ‘leftists’ didn’t know. In response to Premier Selinger signing an accord with the JNF, I wrote a 2010 article “Progressive Canadians must challenge Jewish National Fund’s charitable status.” A decade before that, activists were already picketing local JNF fundraising galas. Born in a West Bank village demolished to make way for the JNF’s Canada Park, Ismail Zayid complained to the CRA about its charitable status for four decades. Lebanese Canadian Ron Saba was aggressively raising the subject through the mid-2000s and a coalition led by Independent Jewish Voices ultimately filed a detailed complaint to the CRA and Minister of National Revenue about the JNF. While the JNF campaigning – and broader Palestine activism – had already largely made the supremacist organization toxic on the left, the CRA’s revocation of the JNF’s charitable status in 2024 delivered the final death nail. Suzuki highlighted the point in his statement on withdrawing from CSP, noting that the JNF “had its Canadian charitable status revoked.” Revoking the JNF’s charitable status gave decades of activist claims state legitimacy. The other participants in the CSP event should withdraw from the upcoming conference. There’s nothing “green” about a forum instigated by an organization that destroys the natural landscape to plant non-native trees, spurring wildfires and exacerbating the climate crisis. The efforts to discredit the JNF in left/liberal circles should be applied to other leading genocidal Jewish supremacist institutions, notably the federations which sponsor the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and a slew of Zionist projects. Unfortunately, provincial NDP officials continue to do events with these pro-Israel Jewish federations and they receive large sums in public grants (as well as tax deductible donations). We need to politically discredit the federations and target their charitable status. David Suzuki’s withdrawal from the Climate Solutions Prize event highlights and reflects the success of principled grassroots activism that was often at odds with establishment left politicians.

At a bastion of support for genocidal Jewish supremacy Mark Carney just bolstered forces funding and promoting a lawless genocidal state. At a synagogue that prays for Israeli soldiers the prime minister appointed a top apartheid lobbyist head of a new “equality” council. In a speech billed as a response to a “crisis in antisemitism” Carney boosted a movement promoting a lawless state addicted to murder. Over the past few days Israel has slaughtered a hundred in Lebanon in a bid to undermine a US-Iran ceasefire so they can kill more Iranians. Monday Carney announced that a new Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion would be headed by the former chair of the Canada-Israel Committee and chair of Jewish Federations United Israel Appeal. Marc Gold has been promoting apartheid and genocide for decades and will now have a formal government position to fight “discrimination”. Carney’s speech took place at Toronto’s Holy Blossom Temple. The synagogue advocates for the lawless apartheid state. It recites prayers for the success of the IOF. Its website states, “We know many congregants have dear ones in Israel. If you have a dear one who is serving in the IDF now, please send us the name, so we can include them in our daily prayers.” It also organizes missions for congregants to volunteer on Israel’s occupation force bases. At the end of this month the synagogue is organizing a tour of Israel with multiple events focused on Israeli soldiers and illegally occupied territory. The promotional brochure for the “Holy Blossom Temple ‘We the North’ solidarity and service in northern Israel” tour notes: “Engage in a meaningful conversation with Mai Levy, a former Holy Blossom Temple Shinshinit from Caesarea, as she shares her personal journey and reflections from serving as an IDF officer throughout the recent war…. Spend the evening together with IDF reserve officers and soldiers getting a sense of their experiences as well as an opportunity to thank them for their vital service…. Meet Lt. Col. (Res.) Eyal Dror on the Golan Heights for a strategic briefing overlooking Quneitra, learning about Israel’s northern security challenges and the humanitarian efforts of Operation Good Neighbor during the Syrian civil war.” Holy Blossom is promoting Sunday’s “Walk for Israel”, which will see tens of thousands of Toronto Jews take the streets in support of apartheid and genocide. In New York on Sunday tens of thousands marched behind murderous fascist Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich in an “Israel Parade” and two weeks ago hundreds rallied in front of the New York Times office to support Israeli officials raping Palestinians. Carney’s speech is a boost for those organizing the Toronto “Walk for Israel”. It’s a boost for the schools and community organizations inducing Canadians to join the Israeli military and to those sending four hundred million dollars a year in tax-payer subsidized donations to Israel. In recent days genocide supporters have sought to claim a fourteen-year-old Toronto girl running away from home was “antisemitism”. They also claimed anti-genocide protesters hanging effigies of Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben-Gvir was “antisemitism”. Those promoting Israel’s ongoing destruction of Gaza and land theft in the West Bank are becoming shriller with their claims of “antisemitism”. Their screeching is designed to stifle the movements seeking to lessen Canada’s extensive support for apartheid and genocide. There’s no “crisis of antisemitism” in Canada. There is, however, a crisis of genocidal Jewish supremacy. And empowering such Israel supporters in the name of fighting “antisemitism” will likely have the opposite effect.

Absolute bombshell. Prominent Australian activist Juliet Lamont exposes the terrifying reality of Zionist detention. She confirms Israeli forces systematically tortured activists, detailing horrific sexual assaults and beatings. MSM is actively hiding these war crimes.
