🚀 BIG NEWS: Subunit Pro x Zentari Capital

@Subunit_Pro, our institutional arm, has partnered with Zentari Capital to bring their $300M Centaur 1 Fund onchain via Ethereum.

This is one of the largest real estate tokenization deals the space has seen, unlocking premium real estate for accredited investors with crypto-native access and built-in compliance.

TradFi meets DeFi.

This is just the beginning.

In an unprecedented show of support, dozens of @UofT (University of Toronto) faculty members joined in solidarity with pro-Palestinian demonstrators on campus. The University leadership is seeking an injunction to remove the students.

The faculty says, "if you try to move the students, you will have to go through us first."

The faculty group includes members of the Jewish Faculty Network, Faculty for Palestine, Health Care Workers Alliance for Palestine and other concerned members of the University.

The Ontario Federation of Labour (@OFLabour), representing 1 million workers, has also joined the cause.

It takes 34 seconds of fast scrolling before you get to the babies aged one. 52 seconds until you get to two year-olds. 1:20 until the age of three. And so on.

As a genocide scholar, I have tried to understand the arguments I have read for why Israel’s conduct in Gaza does not constitute genocide. I struggle. The counter-arguments are not difficult. Here are 8 arguments I've heard and what I think in response. 1/n

[The Intercept @theintercept]

For every two Palestinian deaths, Palestinians are mentioned only once in the coverage of major newspapers we analyzed. For every Israeli death, Israelis are mentioned eight times — or a rate 16 times more per death that of Palestinians.

Disgusting, but obvious. CNN has functioned as the mouthpiece of Israeli propaganda & lies.

THREAD: A joint thread by @MouinRabbani and @hasmikegian. On 6 December 2023 United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter. A consensus has emerged that Guterres has deployed the heaviest instrument he has available under the UN Charter.

@TWennesland So you called it an “act of violence” when an Israeli settler murdered a 19 year old boy, yet it is an act of “terrorism” when a Palestinian is responsible. Even the US State Department called Israeli Settler acts as acts of “terrorism”. The UN is supposed to be more impartial.

@jynpang I agree with the sentiment, but even LKW himself played on this analogy in his Third World to First

@JolyonMaugham The politicization of the civil service is the start of institutional decay. Civil servants must be impartial, or at the very least centrist. See: ‘Centrist Reflections on Political Philosophy’ https://t.co/aOA8tSPZDu #Amazon
