Israel really spent forever saying UNRWA can't be trusted to deliver aid because it is a "terrorist organisation" and the moment the IDF became responsible for the aid, it started gunning down civilians in queues

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

For decades to come, scholars will study how a small, oppressive, foreign regime (Israel), built on a deeply racist and fundamentally violent ideology (Zionism), gained so much control over the foreign & domestic policy of the US, UK, Germany & several other Western countries, compelling them to ignore the interests of their own countries, the wishes of their own citizens, international law, and even basic morality, to raid their treasuries and attack their own people, all on behalf of that one oppressive foreign regime.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

It is valid military protocol to "collapse" a residential building, with civilians inside, because one target visited?

If so, can a Yemeni or Palestinian blow up a 12-story apartment building in DC if they know a US military commander entered, or would we call that "terrorism"?

Toronto calls itself a leader in diversity & inclusion. But my journey—from law school to a homeless shelter—reveals the truth.

I believed in TMU Law’s promise of equity. They celebrated my story. But when it mattered, I was left behind.

We don’t need more slogans—we need action.

In a sea of unhinged, narcissistic, illiterate, callous & inhumane opinion pieces on Gaza, we have an Outstanding Winner. How to dismiss decades of pain & continued suffering in one wave of a comfortable well-fed hand.

This is like a case study in extreme apartheid. They built a cage around a Palestinian family's home to separate it from the Jewish settlement surrounding it. The only gate to the cage is controlled by the Israeli army.

Actually protesting the continual slaughter of thousands of innocent people is always correct, hope this helps

When you're at the grocery store checking for "Product of Canada" labels, remember that most of our domestic fruits and vegetables are grown and harvested by migrant farmworkers from Mexico, Jamaica, and the Eastern Caribbean.

Produced in Canada under a system of laws that benefits the multibillion-dollar agriculture industry at the expense of the migrant workers who sustain it.

Produced in Canada by migrant workers who pay into EI but are denied access to regular EI benefits.

Produced in Canada by migrant workers who, in Ontario, are denied the right to join a union.

Produced in Canada by migrant workers who are regarded by the state as good enough to work, but never good enough to stay – no matter how many years of service they put in.

Canada's history of systemic racism and exploitation in agriculture exposes the falsehood of the claim that "we are all in this together." Class consciousness demands more than exercises of purchasing power in difficult times. It demands solidarity with workers in our collective struggle for economic justice and liberation.

❗️BREAKING ❗️Israel's genocidal campaign moved to the West Bank during the ceasefire in Gaza and amidst the silence of the intl community.

[Asa Winstanley @AsaWinstanley]

What have we just lived through?

[soul khan, msw @soulkhan]

a ceasefire where israel just returns to pre-2023 ethnic cleansing isn't acceptable either. it is still abominably evil and the colony must be dismantled in our lifetime because it's shown that it will commit genocide whenever it feels sufficiently emboldened.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Amnesty International’s new landmark report concludes that Israeli authorities have committed – and still are committing - genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

Full report, out now.

[Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières @MSF_canada]

Doctors Without Borders denounces Israeli ban on @UNRWA 's operations.

It will further undermine people's survival prospects in #Gaza and heavily impact communities in the West Bank.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Intentionally blocking aid, targeting humanitarian workers, and now banning UNRWA. All of Gaza is on the brink of famine.

The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war. How much more evidence does the Biden-Harris administration need to stop these war crimes?

[Bryce Greene @TheGreeneBJ]

It's really something to watch the West become as crazy as the caricatures they paint about so-called authoritarian or totalitarian regimes

[Dina Hashem @dinahashem_]

Western nations wreak this havoc around the world then complain about immigration

[Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior]

@leahmcelrath It has no precedent. You'd think social scientists would want to know why one country is violating a universal taboo -- deliberately mass murdering children -- but they are largely silent. That silence itself prompts questions.
