"We did what we could. Remember us.”These are the words Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila wrote on a #Gaza hospital whiteboard normally used for planning surgeries at the end of October 2023.

I am disturbed & appalled at the suspension of Dr. @yipengGe from @uOttawaPHPM. He is amongst numerous healthcare workers being targeted for speaking against the violence in Palestine. Please sign and share widely. He does not deserve this. -- https://t.co/5qHkEdeYDY

Professor Avi Shlaim: "The Israeli response cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be described as a measure of self defence. Look at the scale of the killing. That is not self defence. That is slaughter of civilians on an industrial scale"

it feels especially insane seeing poppies this year when canada cannot make the most basic demand to end innocent civilians being killed

How are we funding their killing?

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza:

1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in.

2. That the blame for all of the deaths caused by Israeli weapons launched by Israel rests solely on Hamas.

3. That Hamas is using “human shields” — meaning Hamas bases are hidden amidst civilian populations — yet Israel is managing to kill thousands of civilians without doing any meaningful damage to Hamas.

4. That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as “human shields” — as though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country.

5. That is is only by pure coincidence that Israel bombing “Hamas targets” in civilian infrastructure and residential buildings just so happens to look exactly the same as what you’d expect to see if Israel was simply bombing civilian infrastructure and residential buildings and lying about its reasons for doing so.

6. That satellite images of entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble in Gaza have been caused by “precision strikes” directed solely at Hamas and have been carried out with the greatest of care for human life, despite Israeli officials openly saying that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” in this assault and that “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents; there will be no buildings.”

7. That this bombing campaign has anything to do with freeing Israeli hostages — as though the bombing campaign itself has not killed dozens of hostages, and as though anyone believes Israel would stop bombing Gaza after the hostages are returned.

8. That the only reason anyone could possibly oppose the detonation of thousands of bombs on an open air prison full of children would be if they had very strong and hateful opinions toward the members of the religion of Judaism.

9. That Hamas attacked Israel entirely out of the blue and completely unprovoked, solely because they are evil and hate Jews.

10. That Washington is powerless to stop this genocide that it is directly funding and supplying.

its so batshit that the argument rn in western pundit discourse is “slogans we don’t like bc they make us uncomfortable, no we refuse to understand what anything means” while every single day we are shown the most horrific first person accounts of violence we have ever seen

[Joy Henderson @Joyhenderson78]

What part of bombing a refugee camp is not genocide?

[Pariah Carey @DesmondCole]

"Nobody should be censored or disciplined for condemning what the UN and Amnesty International have documented for decades: that Palestinians have been subjected to Israeli military occupation and apartheid, and that Gaza has been under siege since 2007."

“@SarahJama_ words emerge from a long tradition of Black women standing in support of Palestinian human rights and against apartheid, from Toni Morrison to Audre Lorde, Angela Y. Davis, June Jordan and Dionne Brand. On our campus and in our movements, we work from Indigenous lands and across geographic and socially erected borders, with scholars of all backgrounds — including Palestinian, Indigenous and Jewish — to stand for justice and against dehumanization.” 👇🏾

Congratulations to Toronto mayor-elect @oliviachow.
She is someone who has been lifting & speaking up marginalised communities - including the Queer community - for decades.
Her people-focussed leadership will do much good in Canada's biggest city.
