a year later and we’re still failing them.

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

Only a deep dehumanization of Palestinians that has gone on for decades to justify Israeli violence can explain the world’s silence after 14 months of photos like this.

[Nimer Sultany @NimerSultany]

"Israeli soldiers routinely executed Palestinian civilians simply bcoz they entered... a “no-go zone.” The testimonies paint a picture of a landscape littered with civilian corpses.. left to rot or be eaten by stray animals"

Mass slaughter. 9 months.

@PalSolYEG @EPCOR: you're forcing Edmontonians to install Arad water metering technology in our homes (or to pay a monthly penalty). Arad is deeply complicit in ethnic cleansing and water apartheid in Palestine. Change course now! https://t.co/vcZSEEtqOd @YEGMayorOffice

[PalSolidarityYEG @PalSolYEG]

Hey #YEG did you know that the ICJ ruled that governments are legally obligated to “not render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by israel’s illegal presence.” so why is #EPCOR doing business with the israeli tech company Arad Group? #EPCOR is violating this principle and forcing us all to be complicit in human rights abuses! #SHAMEONEPCOR #EPCORDELIVERSGENOCIDE #FREEPALESTINE

we may never fully grasp the extent of horror and trauma Israel has inflicted on our children. children who no longer speak, whose hair turns white overnight, whose hair falls out, who lose their memory, who die of heart attacks as young as 4 and 5 years....

[Maria Aristodemou @maariaris]

At the very least the ICC warrants confirm those of us protesting and especially our student encampments were right all along and no university administration should dare muffle their voices ever again.

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

The ICC has been under constant threat from the most powerful corners of the globe and decided it had to do this anyway. Just imagine how overwhelmingly the evidence must be for them to do that.

[Arab Canadian Lawyers Assoc. @CanArabLaw]

Thank you @visualizingpal for visualizing ACLA's anti-Palestinian racism framework. Canada has made the commitment to recognize APR. Now is the time to make it official @JustinTrudeau @KamalKheraLib

To every student and young person who stood up on university campuses against what are now officially deemed war crimes: you are heroes and your persecutors are trash.

[Fatima 𓂆 فاطمة 🇵🇸 @fatimasal82]

In Gaza, mothers are condemned to watching helplessly as their children are slaughtered by the IOF. There is nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide. This is a death camp and we’re all watching the extermination live-streamed.

[TheMuslimLawyer @faisalkutty]

What's troubling about it? This is a prominent Jewish person sharing his lived experience and that of many others too afraid to speak out.

This tweet is exhibit "A" highlighting the very problem the article is addressing which is the weaponization of antisemitism to gaslight and shut down legitimate discussion and debate.

[Independent Jewish Voices - Edmonton @ijvEdmonton]

On September 9th, the University of Alberta’s @UAlberta_FoMD held a session “on antisemitism” which was, in reality, a display of anti-Palestinian racism. In support of @HA4Palestine, IJVE signed on to this joint letter with @JewishYEG as a coalition of Jews in protest:

[Independent Jewish Voices - Edmonton @ijvEdmonton]

Zionist propaganda and anti-Palestinian racism such as this is unconscionable and violent, as well as a dishonest way to teach antisemitism. We ask that others demand future sessions with these speakers are cancelled, with truthful education provided instead.

[Kuldeep S. Meel @ksmeel]

The sheer depravity of someone doxing an amazing UofT student for singing at Shabbat.

Echoing my colleague (@wtfis2bdone), it is a badge of honor for all of us to stand alongside students like Jonathan. I couldn't more prouder of them.

Right now Indigo is applying for injunction in court to force the take down of Indigo Kills Kids campaign https://t.co/piQFrRTp6i

Continued use and installation of these products in Edmonton is absolutely hurting Palestinians on the ground. It expedites the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank as these corrupt companies profit from water apartheid. @EPCOR #YEG
