“Most of the people that my unit killed were not armed.” In an interview with 1843, a former Israeli soldier recounts his time serving in Gaza https://t.co/OlNXtoHYy4
Jonathan was enthusiastic at first about serving with the Israeli army in Gaza after October 7th. Now he is ashamed. He told 1843 why in an exclusive interview https://t.co/OQa3AIpijy

The rabble-rousing minister has been convicted by Israeli courts of inciting racism and supporting a terrorist group, and indicted dozens of times for inciting violence. But knows he can afford to be unrepentant https://t.co/jYX9wt0Y6h
“Today I’m not proud to be an Israeli,” confesses Jonathan. The former IDF soldier tells 1843 that he is “ashamed” of his platoon’s actions during the war in Gaza. Register to read his story in full https://t.co/0vkoL15HBm
I’m travelling for work and I wasn’t planning to film a video today.
Then I saw something I couldn’t ignore.
An Israeli cabinet minister posted a video to social media revelling in the abuse of detained flotilla activists, including Canadians.
And our government is hardly doing anything about it:
🚨 In collaboration with similar actions taking place across the country today, we are rallying outside the office of Liberal MP Julie Dzerowicz at 5:30 PM.
We are calling on our government to protect Canadians disrupting the genocide in Gaza and finally do what's right.
Some of Ontario's largest, most resourced health facilities are located in University-Rosedale, and staffed by members of @OntarioDoctors . The majority of these physicians lick the boots of Zionists, ignore #genocide & bully those who call out injustice. We stand with @yipengGe
Canadian professional organizations are plagued by anti-Palestinian racism, anti-Arab racism and Islamophobic bigotry. This bigotry is so pervasive, and so entrenched that even the @CBA_News showed open disdain for the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law at its last AGM (see video link). A major endeavour of the zionist project in Canada is to isolate, smear and delicence professionals speaking for Palestine and the rule of law. Former colleagues have become the perpetrators of political persecution of their domestic peers with a conscience, all at the service of a foreign state's imperialism: https://t.co/IhHceErauM
Canadians advocating for 🇵🇸 have been punished, reprimanded, ostracized & branded as "antisemites" for opposing Israel’s gross violations of int'l law.
The Senate missed a chance to uphold int'l law by denouncing attempts to conflate antisemitism with legitimate criticism of 🇮🇱.

I want to share with you testimony from someone who is my age in Gaza. A 31-year-old male, arrested at Netzarim Checkpoint, held for a total of 53 days, initially at the checkpoint before being transferred to an unknown military camp and the Negev prison. He was interviewed 151 days after his release.
I was hoping that the next morning would not come, and I would die. ‘I really hoped to die.’ The reality of the strikes made me feel extremely humiliated, especially given my high status in the neighbourhood and at home. Imagine telling your family and friends what happened to you. […] I was severely beaten by one of the soldiers, resulting in three broken ribs in my chest. […] The pain is still all over my body and I cannot move or stand. The scars from the plastic ties are still on my hands. Whenever I look at them, I remember what happened to me inside the detention centre and how helpless I was, unable to even defend myself. From time to time, I also feel pain in my chest from the fracture I suffered.
His story and countless others are available in a report titled, “Torture and Genocide: The Shattered Futures of Former Palestinian Detainees in Gaza” written by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights. Ample other reports are available by various human rights organizations. Learn their stories. Speak up. Organize. Mobilize. And Act. History is watching us.
We are calling for:
⁃ Immediate release of all Palestinian hostages and political prisoners, including healthcare workers
⁃ An end to administrative detention, torture, and medical abuse
⁃ Immediate access to legal representation, family visits, health care, and adequate water, food, and hygiene for all prisoners
⁃ An end to Canada's complicity in Israeli occupation and genocide
Join the campaign. Be a voice for justice and human rights.
Palestinian detainees need global attention and action now.
Stop the execution law.

Some loving thoughts about my sweet dad from a conversation with the excellent writer @CocoShea. A little window into my world in the most intense two weeks of my life.
