@LolTolhurst I finally listened to your fantastic audiobook Cured - so much insight into my favourite band! Thank you so much for sharing your stories, and happy to hear you finally found peace ❤️
@SafewayCanada These pomegranates are being sold at your Montgomery (Calgary) location…why is Israeli fruit being sold as a USA product? Stop supporting this genocidal, apartheid regime! #Gazagenocide
Did you know Canada is arming Israel? Israel has killed over 50,000 Palestinians in the last 18 months. It’s genocide. Sign the petition to stop funding Israel: https://t.co/AduyzA7qb0
@KenSimCity So unbelievably shameful that @CityofVancouver decided to align itself with an apartheid state that is committing a genocide. What a great way to further polarize this community - great job @KenSimCity 🙄
@KenSimCity@HallVancou13756 It’s disgusting that Vancouver is planning on celebrating a country that’s committing war crimes, including genocide. Please cancel the illumination of City Hall and the Burrard Street Bridge on May 14th.
"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."
🇵🇸🇮🇱 Israeli Rabbi Calls For The Extermination of Every Palestinian in Gaza
"Do not spare any soul."
He believes the children will grow up to hate Israel, so they must be killed; similarly, because the women give birth to those children, they too must be killed.
