Today marks 21 years since 9/11. Our hearts go out to all those who:
Lost their loved ones on or because of that day.
Experienced racism because of that day.
Had their countries invaded because of that day.
Its been 21 years and we feel the impact to this day.
She was an American citizen. It’s quite disheartening to know, even as American or Canadian citizens, our governments will stay silent if we are Palestinians in Palestine. #restinpowershireeen
@SamerAbdelnour@LCBO Besides it being utterly offensive, the LCBO could find itself in trouble legally. Consumers have a right to know the origins of products, and in Canada, it's mandatory to state the country of origin on specified imported prepackaged products like wine.
Allyship for Palestinians is more important now than ever before.
We can start by using words like “apartheid”, “state-sanctioned violence”, and “ethnic cleansing”
Please stop using words like “clash” and “conflict”.
It’s funny how we see governments outpour support and condemn aggression if it fits their agenda. What we see on social media is the narrative they don’t want us to see. The narratives that show the reality of Palestinians, living in an apartheid under an occupation.
You can stand in solidarity with Ukraine and still be angry about how the world was/is silent on the war crimes and invasion of your countries. One does not take away from the other.

Arrest of the ElKurd Twins? Unfortunately, this isn't the first time Israel has arbitrarily detained Palestinians. Let's call a spade a spade. We are dealing with an arbitrary legal system in an apartheid state.
Once again, ceasefire does NOT equal peace.

Heartbroken for Lebanon. Lebanon has been fighting a revolution, a pandemic, an economic crisis, famine and today a massive explosion that so far has left dozens dead, 3000 injured, and hospitals badly damaged that they are turning people away.
