OMG! Art Spiegelman, who created "Maus," is teaming up with Joe Sacco, who created the graphic novels "Palestine" and "Footnotes in Gaza," for a new graphic novel about #Gaza today. If they get it published it will be a cultural earthquake!

Thank you again for reporting @CTVNews while most other 🇨🇦 media remains silent.

5 babies have now frozen to death in Gaza.

Their names are:
🌹Ali Hussam Azzam (4 days old)
🌹Sila Al-Fseih (14 days old)
🌹Aisha Al-Qassas (21 days old)
🌹Ali Issam Saqr (23 days old)
🌹Jumaa Batran (30 days old)

Israel has:
Destroyed >90% of housing
Bombed every hospital, forcing many out of service
Blockaded essential supplies like fuel blankets and warm clothing

🇨🇦 has not yet implemented an #ArmsEmbargo on this criminal regime.

As an Anesthesiologist, I know transporting critically ill patients—even in resource-rich Toronto—is no small task. Safely evacuating an entire hospital is nearly impossible. In besieged Gaza, it’s a death sentence. How is this being accepted and normalized?

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

No matter how much they try to normalize it, you have to remember that attacking hospitals and detaining patients and medical staff is, in fact, NOT normal.

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

I will never forget how a fabricated story of beheaded Israeli babies moved journalists like @abbydphillip and @sarasidnerCNN to tears while real Palestinian babies dying of cold, starvation, under the rubble, burned alive, is met with silence and callous indifference.

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

On Christmas in Gaza, three babies froze to death and five journalists were assassinated in a press van while waiting for the birth of one’s child. 14 months of global inaction while bearing witness to humanity’s worst possible crimes

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

The amount of dead Palestinian children we’ve seen in the last 72 hours has been staggering. At a loss for what remains to be said.

Not a day has gone by, since October 2023 that we haven’t seen lifeless, maimed, murdered Palestinian children.

[Pam Palmater @Pam_Palmater]

Everyone should take the time to read this report. It's important we have informed, fact-based, evidence-based conversations using international law as the framework. This is not about personal opinion, it's law. We must end the genocide. #genocide #humanrights #crimesagainsthumanity #torture #apartheid #Occupied_Palestine

They’re gonna spend 100x more manpower and money to find the UHC CEO shooter than they ever did investigating UHC’s unlawful practices and the deaths they caused.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Child deaths in wars:

Iraq: 3,100 in 14 years.
Syria: 12,000 in 11 years.
Yemen: 3,700 in 7 years.

Ukraine: +520 in 2 years.

Palestine: +20,000 in 1 year.

Does the world condemn the killing of children or is it complicated when it is Middle Eastern children?

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Israel bombed in Lebanon yesterday and today, they opened fire on farmers, on a funeral, snipers shot at journalists.
They are advancing into towns they were repelled from in the fighting. They are tearing up olive trees.
Not a single person has fired back. The moment somebody does, the USA and its allies will call "ceasefire violation".
I feel heartsick.

[Tariq Kenney-Shawa @tksshawa]

The death of this baby, along with thousands of others like him across Gaza, won’t be included in the official death toll from Israel’s genocide. But they are the victims because if Israel hadn’t deliberately destroyed Gaza’s healthcare system, they might still be alive.

[zinah𓂆 @zhal80]

So happy Lebanon got the ceasefire, but here in Gaza, can someone tell us wtf is gonna happen? I'm crying fr, scared this might be our life forever. We’re stuck in this, and it feels like no one's listening.
Every day feels like we're just waiting for the worst, and Idk if there's hope left.
It's like we're forgotten, just surviving, with no end in sight.....

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

War criminal Netanyahu threatened to destroy Lebanon like Gaza and here it is, Israel bombing homes, medical facilities and the suburbs of Lebanon. The only thing outrageous about his arrest warrant is that it took so long.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

Once again, @fordnation is pre-emptively tabling legislation that outmanoeuvres potential lawsuits, effectively giving them immunity from any legal culpability re: Bill 212. They did it Bill 154 (Ontario Place), with Bill 218 (LTC during COVID), and with Bill 136 (Greenbelt).

[james stout @jamesstout]

Abortion rights are way outperforming Harris. It’s not progressive policies that people don’t want. That gives me a little hope that we can organize and take care of one another

[kendra @kendramorous]

lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

These are not fighters, these are doctors and nurses , These are the medical staff at Kamal Adwan Hospital.
