Blonde-haired, blue-eyed white people from Ukraine were celebrated for making home-made Molotov cocktails to defend their land, but the brown Arab Muslim, the Iranian, the Afghan, is far too “uncivilised” to have the right to resist. Their resistance is “barbaric” because it comes from an inherently “violent” culture.
The selective application of international law and one’s right to defend themselves from illegal occupation and colonial violence has been revealed to be a complete contradiction in the west, and is no doubt infuriating.
But we need to also understand how these “resistance” narratives are processed in communities.
These narratives do not stay on our screens. They shape how entire communities see themselves.
When Indigenous, Black, and other racialised peoples repeatedly see their histories, struggles, cultures, and resistance framed as dangerous, irrational, or inherently violent, many begin to internalise those messages.
Some distance themselves from their own identities in search of safety, acceptance, or legitimacy.
Others carry a deep, unspoken rage born from exclusion, dispossession, and the constant demand to prove their humanity.
When people are disconnected from their roots, denied dignity, and taught to be ashamed of where they come from, they will still search for belonging. It’s a basic human need to feel a sense of community.
The question is whether we create spaces that nurture healing, identity, and justice, or leave them vulnerable to finding belonging in places that exploit their pain.
Tatiana Maslany speaks out for Palestine while promoting her Apple TV show Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed
“There is no ceasefire in Gaza. Israel is continuing to bombard it. The US & Canada & the UK are all complicit. We have to keep remembering Palestine.”
If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.
When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.
Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.
Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.
The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.
🚨 BOMBSHELL: Jewish leader Avi Lewis exposes a massive government coverup. He confirms the Canadian arms embargo on Israel is a total lie.
He reveals weapons are secretly funneled through the US military-industrial complex to directly arm the Zionist regime's horrific genocide!
In the middle of a live streamed genocide the Canadian Prime Minister is making speeches in front of an Israeli flag, telling us that the real victims are those who’s feelings are hurt by criticism of the offending state.
This picture was taken yesterday.
This is not what we voted for.
Canada has failed to condemn a single military aggression against Iran by the US, Israel, or Persian Gulf states.
Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, Iran holds the inherent right to self-defense against these attacks.
This selective approach severely undermines international law and peace.
Reporter of China State Television CGTN, broadcasting in front of Gaza Shifa Hospital:
"I saw with my own eyes that there were at least 10 Palestinian children under the age of 5 without heads."
Canada’s village idiot was on @CNN lamenting the number of Muslims in the country. He claims these new immigrants are taught to hate Jews in school. Look at his use of the word “We.” You’re such a racist piece of shit Jesse Brown 💩.
Canada going the UK way when it comes to limiting our freedom of speech should frighten everyone.
We're moving fast towards the criminalization of speech and I bet they'll try to criminalize things like Free Palestine and From the River to the Sea, just like in the UK
Canada fired the special envoy for Islamophobia and replaced her with a guy who was the chair of the Canada-Israel committee.
The only act of murderous religious violence inside a house of worship was against a mosque. This is grotesque.
