We will all be asked about the Holocaust of the Palestinians. Every single one of us.

“Every f*cking Palestinian will die.”

This incident happened 20-min away from where @MarkJCarney was speaking yesterday

Not one comment is about how "this movie glorifies stealing" like the rightwingers said when coming after I Love Boosters

Its cuz there's been yrs of hysteria built around shoplifting, framed around black & brown folks as a way 2 scapegoat them capitalism's necessitated poverty

Israel is doing to Lebanon what they did to Gaza…

A FATHER AND SON KILLED FOR WALKING HOME.

They didn't carry weapons; they carried memories and a simple dream of going home.

Americans be like: "9/11, the most shocking day in world history, when we knew we werent safe at home"

The rest of the world on a daily basis for the past century under Isreal and american t*rrorism:

This is the funniest video I’ve ever seen in my life

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.

Horrifying testimony of Australian woman raped by the IOF:

'They wrenched my trousers and underwear down and it felt like I was inserted with a hand..it wasn't a gun...other people had guns inserted inside them.'

Fuck off, unless there’s a story like this about how much the military loses, this is just manufacturing consent for further privatization of public services

I saw the film Palestine 36 last night, while in Beirut. It portrays how the British kept handing Palestinian land to Zionist settlers, and how indigenous rural Palestinians organised armed resistance to fight back.

Two things. First, 'israel' clearly learned their brutal tactics for oppressing Palestinians from the British. Rounding up men, executing them, blowing up whole villages, setting fire to crops etc. etc. It is demonic that these same tactics are still being inflicted on Palestinians and Lebanese villages right now, and the world abandons them.

Second, why can't we humanise Palestinian resistance fighters now? The film heroised the men who took up arms. It is a disgrace that so few are willing to stand up for, defend, or humanise the men who are taking up arms against the occupation now. Maybe they will make films about them in 100 years when there is nothing riding on it.

.@TPSOperations are you setting up any command centres or creating any QR codes for 15 year old Kieanna. It’s been 2 weeks that she’s been missing.

I interviewed Palestinian researcher Hala Hanina last year who introduced me to the term reprocide. Israel’s sexual torture is intended to destroy reproductive capacity and the ability for intimacy. Its deliberate nature makes it diabolical

Reports of antisemitic incidents include:
- A bake sale by a pro-Palestine group
- Someone seeing a Palestinian flag while walking outside
- Someone seeing another person wearing a t-shirt with Arabic written on it

1/ Right now, a bill called C-22 is moving through Parliament. It would let police pull information on who you talk to, when, and where, all without a warrant. It's at committee this week. 🧵

Uma das coisas mais perturbadoras sobre os estupros no caso da Flotilha é que os sobreviventes estão tendo que tomar, por 28 dias, medicamentos para prevenir uma possível infecção pelo HIV em razão da violência praticada pelos soldados.

As mulheres, além disso, tiveram que tomar pílulas do dia seguinte e torcer para que fossem efetivas.

Isso mostra que a violência de Israel não termina quando os sequestrados são libertados. Ela continua no corpo, no medo, na espera por exames, nos efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos, na angústia de quem ainda precisa lidar com as consequências de uma agressão cometida sob custódia de um Estado.

A libertação não apaga a tortura. Não apaga a violência sexual. Não apaga o trauma produzido por um sequestro ilegal e por práticas que deveriam ser tratadas como crimes internacionais.

As violências de Israel continuam acontecendo e produzindo efeitos físicos, psicológicos, políticos e humanos muito depois do fim do sequestro.

Chrystia Freeland was recently challenged for supporting genocide at an event hosted by a Jewish supremacist group held in a Zionist community centre.

After our Capitalism Can’t be Fixed conference concluded Sunday, a few participants interrupted Freeland’s speech. In Toronto from BC, one protestor labelled the former foreign affairs minister and deputy prime minister a “Zionist Nazi dog.” The disruption has gone viral on multiple social media platforms. Al Jazeera and other international media have reported on it.

Freeland is deeply anti-Palestinian. In the first year of slaughter in Gaza she attended multiple genocide rallies. As Israeli officials ramped up their genocidal rhetoric, Freeland declared that “Canada stands with Israel”. After the International Criminal Court announced it would seek arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and defence minister as well as Hamas leaders in late 2024, Freeland said it was “entirely inappropriate to equate the terrorist leaders of a terrorist organization [Hamas] with the democratically elected leaders of a democracy [Israel].” When I asked Freeland a year into the slaughter if she condemned Israel’s killing of 14,000 Palestinian children she declined to respond.

During her three years as foreign affairs minister Freeland promoted the genocidal, apartheid state. Canada’s voting record at the United Nations during that time was deeply anti-Palestinian. In December 2017, for instance, Canada sided with the US, Israel and some tiny Pacific island states in opposing a UN resolution supporting Palestinian statehood that was backed by 176 nations.

Freeland promoted the expansion of the Canada Israel free trade agreement and largely ignored Israeli violence against Palestinians. But she often expressed outrage when Israelis occupying Palestinian lands were harmed. In December 2018 Freeland tweeted, “horrified by the shooting in the West Bank in which eight people — including a Canadian and his wife — were injured.”
In fall 2018 Freeland visited Israel. During an Israel Council on Foreign Relations gathering she declared, “Canada’s commitment to Israel’s security is unwavering and ironclad.” At the November 2018 event alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Freeland added that if Canada won a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council in 2020 it would act as an “asset for Israel.” In an embarrassingly sycophantic speech that should be read in full, Freeland added that “the world also needs more Israel.”

The host of Freeland’s speech in Toronto was Canadaland. Its founder and head Jesse Brown recently spoke at the “World Symposium Against Antizionism: Confronting the Third Era of Jew-Hatred” with open racists Ben Shapiro and Gaad Saad. I wrote critically about Brown’s apartheid promotion a decade ago but before the genocide in Gaza he was generally considered a liberal media critic. Over the past three years Brown and Canadaland have become ever more aggressive shills for Israel’s horrors.

The Canadaland event took place at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre (MNJCC). It was sponsored by United Jewish Appeal (UJA) Toronto, which runs the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. MNJCC operates an “IsraelConnection” program and promotes UJA Toronto’s annual Walk for Israel. In a sign of its commitment to Jewish supremacist colonialism, the daycare and preschool at the MNJCC has Israeli flags on the wall and describes “Israel as a Source and Resource”.

Those who promote or justify genocide committed by an apartheid state must be challenged and embarrassed. This is necessary to end Canadian complicity in crimes against humanity.

I repeat, This is not just a “Netanyahu problem”, lsraeli society is just as radical as Netanyahu or Ben Gvir.

[🇵🇸 Rafeef Garbi #FreePalestine @RafeefGarbi]

Can you imagine had the roles been reversed? Had a Palestinian done the same to anyone they would have arrested him for terrorism. Which restaurant is this in Montreal?

[99% Johnny Graz @jvgraz]

Canada has six major taxpayer-funded Holocaust museums and dozens of smaller memorials.

But a one single museum opens one single exhibit on the Nakba and Zionist Jews all lose their shit.

It's the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Do Palestinians not have human rights?

[agent ndn @TheAgentNDN]

Zionists also didn't want the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to talk about Indigenous genocides here either because they felt it decentered the Holocaust.

The CMHR is literally located on stolen land in Winnipeg and they didn't want to acknowledge that. Go figure.
