CBC's Fifth Estate just released its investigation into millions of dollars in Canadian tax-deductible charitable donations being used to subsidize the Israeli army and illegal settlements.
This is why the issue should be of concern to everyone. 🧵 /1

It was a heartbreaking day as we bid farewell to eight colleagues from the Palestine Red Crescent ambulance team in the #Gaza Strip.
Rest in peace, heroes of humanitarian work. #NotATarget#IHL
Last night in Gaza, we operated on a 15 year old girl who was riding her bike when she was shredded by an Apache helicopter. She will be lucky if she keeps 2 of her limbs after 12 hours of collective surgery
Also Hitler was the democratically elected leader of Germany.
You can tell how stupid someone like @PierrePoilievre is at his repetition of a circulating 1971 pro-Israel Hazbara talking point written by a summer intern with v. reduced mental capacity.
Israeli troops firing on UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon, Palestinians ordered to flee northern Gaza with nowhere to go, and the Conservatives calling for nuclear facilities to be bombed.
And what do we get? Another non answer from the Government!
Blinken is doing a tour to the countries he thinks are likely to back South Africa and likely try to convince them not to. He's going to Turkey, Saudi, UAE, etc. So, the action is also to write to embassies and consulates of various countries and pressure them to support South Africa at the International Criminal Court (ICJ) on Jan 11.
If the ICJ rules genocide...all countries and the UN will be obligated to end the genocide.
And all who helped... like sending weapons... will officially be complicit.
The US does have its fingers in the ICJ, but since South Africa is allowed to appoint the judge they want, there is hope of mitigating that.
Please sign and send letters to those countries. Takes 1 minute.

The urgent call of Palestine 1973!
There was no Hamas, no "Security concerns," or "need" for "self-defence," Just a genocidal settler-colonial tyrant whose goal was & still is to subjugate & ethnically cleanse the indigenous 🇵🇸population.
Gaza faces that tyrant today, live on TV!
This not a war. This is a systematic massacre of civilians with destruction of a densely populated area to make it uninhabitable; by cowards hiding behind technology. This is ethnic cleansing.
A war is human fighting human.
