Juries now have refused to send Palestine Action astivists to jail as well as Tony Greenstein. His speech to the Jury that refused to send him to jail for ‘terrorism’ worth reading in whole, but here is an excerpt:
‘In the second world war, the Nazis walled the Jews of Warsaw, half a million of them into a ghetto — a sealed district, starved and diseased, from which the trains left for the Treblinka death camp. And in 1943 the young Jews who remained did something nobody expected. With a handful of smuggled pistols, against tanks and the SS, they rose. They knew they could not win. They rose because it was better to die resisting than to be led away quietly. It is one of the proudest moments in Jewish history.
The last surviving commander of that uprising was a man named Marek Edelman. And in his old age, Edelman wrote to the Palestinian resistance and addressed them as fellow fighters — much to Israel’s annoyance. When he died, Poland gave him a state funeral, a fifteen-gun salute, the President gave the oration. Israel did not send the lowliest clerk at the Israeli Embassy. Edelman wasn’t a Zionist.
Edelman, who led the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising against the Nazis, described Gaza as a ghetto. I have used his comparison for years before October 2023. Two million people, most of them refugees or the children of refugees, sealed into a strip of land under blockade for 16 years, where the majority are children who have never once been allowed out. When I wrote “ghetto,” I meant a ghetto. My blog supported the Uprising just as I would have supported the slave uprisings of the 19th century. That is a political opinion. It was a political opinion on 7 October 2023, and it is a political opinion now.
And here is the crazy thing. Read section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and ask what it would have made of the Warsaw Ghetto fighters. If this Act had existed in 1944, they could have been classified as terrorists. So could the French Resistance.’

I’m tired of saying it, but if a photo of a Hamas leader with two blindfolded elderly Jewish men, right before they were executed, would be BREAKING NEWS.

But because a Jewish man is killing two Muslims it’s no big deal

I've already RTd this but it's completely insane. A 58 year old Swiss arms dealer punched a 21 year old hijabi in the face and gets an absolute discharge. The judge believes he was just being emotional, not racist.

On healthcare issues in Canada, Robyn Urback, the profiteers and the right are again found exaggerating and unreliable: 👇👇👇

1. Urback argues healthcare in Canada is "horrifying":

I work evenings and nights in 3 urban ERs. I see the worst of the worst of everything possible related to the human condition. I've worked in many nations around the world (from Congo to Gaza) with serious privation, war and forced migration. Urback's "Health care is horrifying in this country" is an insane statement. Robyn knows nothing about "horrifying". 

I work in Ontario, governed by Premier Ford's Conservatives whose policies I often disagree with, but I still would not call the situation "horrifying".

What Op-Ed writers like Urback have, is zero idea about the successes in publicly funded healthcare. She has no idea that of the 16.1 million ER visits in Canada a year, the majority of them are straightforward.

There was no "horror" on my ER shift on Monday or Tuesday this week. I'll keep an eye out for "horror" on Thursday and Friday when I'm on next.

We see chest pain, abdominal pain, fever, injury, addictions and a host of other common problems - and in attending to those patients, I've not had a "horror" case recently in full-time practise.

In fact, under Liberal, NDP and Conservative governments, the majority of ER visits in Canada are reasonable or good. Many are very good, excellent and outstanding - and patients tell us that.

In ER, it's pretty routine that patient's problems are diagnosed, they receive treatment, and they either stay in hospital or go home. What Urback doesn't see is what ER doctors see. Heart attacks diagnosed in seconds, strokes diagnosed in minutes, sepsis reversed and bones put back in place. If all you do is read the paper and spend time on X, you only know what makes the news or generates outrage. Good solid medical care never, ever, ever makes the news, because it doesn't sell or foment outrage.

-Are there problems in healthcare? Definitely. Like patients too long in ER because hospitals are underfunded. 
-Am I critical of those problems? All the time. I'll talk about failed addictions policy in Ontario on CBC this week. 
-Can we do better? Yes. There are important examples in Ontario of decanting the ER with improved outcomes like at Durham Region's Lakeridge Health. 

But branding healthcare in Canada as "horrifying" as an overgeneralization, is uneducated and ill-informed. This kind of narrative is meant to undermine a healthcare system that is publicly funded.

2. "Experimenting" according to the right and profiteers vs. the rest of us. 

We have to understand that Canada's right (and their allied profiteers) use the word "experiment" and "innovation" to mean let the rich get to the front of the line. That's what experimenting means to them. They're honest, and they admit it.

But in reality, publicly funded hospitals "experiment" all the time:
-Like when a stabilization centre outside the hospital was successfully opened to decant intoxicated patients who needed a dark, quiet place to detox and then go home.
-Like when a hospital created an apartment building to give homes to the highest-using ER patients who were homeless (and as a result, ER visits collapsed).
-Hospitals "experiment" with "code hip" to get hip fractures treated faster and "code shock" to wake the whole hospital for patients with undifferentiated shock.

In truth, publicly funded health care experiments all the time to make the system work even though provincial governments like in Ontario have frozen healthcare funding as a percentage of GDP for over a decade. 

Canada's right and Canada's profiteers don't want to "experiment" in good-faith. They just think because they have more money - that they deserve priority, like in every other aspect of their cozy life. 

Letting the rich jump the queue hasn't worked in countries like Canada where we have a fixed pool of doctors. Pulling doctors out of the healthcare system to cherry-pick and skim-off the easy cases (leaving the harder medicine to the publicly funded system) has proven a failure around the world. But that doesn't stop the right who don't actually want to make the system better for everyone - they just want to make it better for themselves.

This video is about 8 months old. This isn't new, and wasn't just released...

Ask yourself why a bunch of RW Influencer accounts all decided to post the exact same video, from 8 months ago at the exact same time with the exact same talking point?

@wealthmoose care to shed some light? Especially given others posted this before you.

So, are you stealing content? Coordinated?

Coincidence?

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:

"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."
