@lpolgreen This is what Media complacency looks like. The NYT's headline change on Anas al-Sharif's assassination is blatantly obscuring the truth. This isn't balance, it's straight up lies.

Extremely difficult scenes:
An Israeli drone targeted a child with live ammunition in one of the streets of northern Gaza.
When citizens gathered to rescue and assist him, they were hit by a direct strike, turning them into scattered remains.

I Need Your Help!

As you know, people speaking out against the killings in Gaza and the plight of Palestinians have faced serious setbacks and reduced opportunities in some fields. One of these fields is publishing.

Many writers are feeling the repercussions of standing up. My sister, S. K. Ali, is one of them.

As some of you may know, she is the author or co-author of several bestselling & award-winning books: The Proudest Blue book series , Love From A to Z, Saints and Misfits, Once Upon an Eid, Love From Mecca to Medina, Misfit in Love, and Grounded.

Her book signings, appearances, and promotions have been greatly affected since she began speaking up, and as she continues to do so. With only one more day until the release of her next book—the first in a gripping duology, Fledgling: The Keeper’s Records of Revolution—your support is more important than ever.

Though Fledgling has garnered universal critical acclaim from industry reviewers, including starred reviews attesting to outstanding writing and storytelling, the lack of mainstream media push with this title has greatly impacted its launch.

And no wonder: Fledgling is about the unjust conditions of our world, so much so that NYT bestselling author Xiran Zhao called it a “fierce and ever-relevant ode to resistance and self-determination”.

My ask:

* Please pre-order her new book, available wherever books are sold, to support her continued storytelling focusing on misrepresented communities. Here’s a link:

* Attend one of her book launches

* Help promote her work in any way you can

See QR codes for US and Canadian orders below.

I will share her book launch dates shortly.

Thank you!

American doctor who spent 3 weeks in a Gazan hospital witnessed unfathomable horrors. We need an end to the hostilities, we need a ceasefire, now.

Via @democracynow

Dr. Ahmad Yousaf is a pediatrician from Arkansas who spent three weeks volunteering at a Gaza hospital amid Israel's brutal assault on the territory. He described the "unfathomable" horrors he witnessed at a press conference in Chicago during the DNC and called for an end to U.S. support for the war.

The United States convinced the whole world that they were building a port in Gaza to bring in humanitarian aid.

Last night, an aid truck finally left from the port to the Nuseirat Camp in Palestine where refugees were seeking shelter.

Except the aid truck wasn’t really an aid truck.

It was a decoy used to smuggle in Israeli and American soldiers to murder over 250 Palestinians, mostly children.

“They were in a truck carrying cooking pans and clothes,” one eyewitness reported.

The U.S. military is officially complicit in this genocide, and is using food as a weapon of war.

Yesterday, the National Post published an article illustrated by this image from @UJAFederation. Problem is, the intersection this is supposed to be at -- Prince Charles and (I am guessing) Bathurst, doesn't look like this. A thread.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

It’s so good to see the hostages returned. A ceasefire would have gotten many more hostages back and no civilians and children killed. This siege is cruel and senseless. Grinding innocent human beings and their culture into blood soaked rubble and dust, to be buried and forgotten. 4 for 274 including kids. It’s a sinful equation that keeps repeating. #Artists4Ceasefire

The response of the Netanyahu government to the ICJ and the international community on Rafah -- an air strike on a displaced persons camp. Where are these people supposed to go? When will Canada do more then issue disproving statements? Do we respect international law or not?

BREAKING

The vote is in and we have forced the Liberals to:

- Stop selling arms to the Israeli govt,
- Support the ICC and ICJ,
- Place sanctions on extremist settlers,
- and much more

Every single Conservative MP and some Liberals tried to block it - they failed.

Powerful opening statement from @HMcPhersonMP telling the story of 6 year-old Hind who was left to die in Gaza.

Her mother said, “I will question before God on Judgment Day those who heard my daughter’s cries for help and did not save her.”

Will Canadian MPs finally respond?

Powerful, provocative ad

Credible allegations that international law has been violated must be investigated and those responsible must be held accountable. This is not about taking sides. No nation can be above the law

I support South Africa's submission to the ICJ and respect whatever the ruling may be

I wasn't ready to see that my friends are Brownshirts. That they actively cheer on the genocide. The anger, the desire – the need even – for retribution against innocent civilians. I wasn't ready for my friends being camp guards, party officials, propagandists.
The propaganda is real, and organized , and obvious - Posting about antisemitism in universities to cover indiscriminate bombing of civilians -- have you no shame. Repeating Israeli claims which have no proof, and no credibility. Keeping the discussion anywhere except on Palestinians being murdered in Gaza. Denying the number of dead because the numbers are reported by Hamas .
Of course, everyone is Hamas now. The child ripped in two by an MK-84 is Hamas. The woman screaming for her sister, digging at the rubble – she's Hamas. The orphaned nine year old, now the sole parent of her 4 year old brother. Both are Hamas.

Sometimes I work out how many people my taxes have killed . Intrusive thoughts. Maybe they're used for roads or healthcare, but maybe I bought a bomb last year and it razed a city block in Khan Yunis. Maybe it killed 50 people. Maybe I killed 50 people.
My investors keep posting. How unsafe the kids feel at Harvard . Railing against "From the river to the sea" as they conveniently omit "Palestine will be free" . Cancelling Tiktok for teaching the kids history instead of US and Israeli propaganda .

This is what ethnic cleansing looks like, and every single leader who defended or enabled it should be in jail.
