@shannonrosa I'm getting stuck on the title. Like, maybe everything wouldn't be eugenics if, you know, people like her would stop being eugenicists

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

How will the new #CanadaDisabilityBenefit interact with existing disability supports like #ODSP and #CPPD?

@ekverstania no, because human rights are human rights, regardless of neurological causes. I'd advocate for the rights of autistic people the same that I'd advocate the rights of people with Traumatic Brain Injury

@24panels how much it cost for tickets? That's why I'm waiting for it to stream

[Corina Lynn Becker @CorinaBecker]

My wonderful friend @MikeRinder has shared some important news on his blog.

He has advanced esophageal cancer.

Mike is not only friend, but one of my heroes and a big reason I fight to expose Scientology's abuses.

Please send him your love and support.

Disabled people kept in a cycle of poverty...

by policies that restrict work & threaten benefits. It’s a Catch-22: If they earn “too much” or work “too many hrs” they can become ineligible for benefits.

It also impacts housing and relationship options.

The reg's for the new #ODSP earnings exemption, coming into effect on Feb 1st, are posted.

Apparently it'll only apply to disabled clients in the benefit unit.

Abled spouses/partners or adult 'dependents' will stay at the old (current) exemption. #ONpoli
