Timely new article “Toward Nakba as a Legal Concept” by Rabea Eghbariah in Columbia Law Review seeking to “transcend existing legal limits and imagine new ways of apprehending the Palestinian condition in law…”

This February, the @SCC_eng disinvited Black experts from a speaking engagement due to their alleged “controversial” posts re Israel and Palestine.
This incident raises questions about the SCC’s impartiality and the CMLA respectfully calls for a comprehensive investigation.

706,000 people are starving to death worldwide -- 577,000 of them (82%) are in Gaza. (UN)

“It bears repeating, 4 out of 5 people in the world in famine, or a catastrophic type of hunger, are in Gaza right now.” - Lawyer Blinne Ni Ghralaigh before the ICJ yesterday.

[Arab Canadian Lawyers Assoc. @CanArabLaw]

Correction @JustinTrudeau: Israel doesn't have the “right to self-defence” against a non-state actor under its occupation (art. 51 of UN Charter). And parties engaging in war must adhere to IHL principles protecting civilians. There is no justification for genocide.

This the 9th week for this trial (the 8th week of evidence) in Veltmans' terrorism trial. When the jury was selected on (Sept 6) they were told this would require 12 weeks.

[Heidi Matthews @Heidi__Matthews]

On October 17, @JillDunlop1, Ontario's Minister of Colleges and Universities in @fordnation's government, launched a targeted attack against me, other professors, and students who have engaged in public speech supportive of Palestinians and critical of Israel's war on Gaza. 🧵

We can’t let kids die of hunger - we must “pause” to feed them before we continue to bomb them.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

As we call for renewed efforts toward a two-state solution, we’ll continue to advocate for humanitarian pauses, for humanitarian aid to be delivered, and for international law to be upheld. Canada is committed to the goal of just and lasting peace in the Middle East.

We are so pleased to welcome the new member of our small family, Taliah. Since she arrived, she has been a source of joy, blessings, and tranquility.

This is the most active time of the year for Muslims sharing Ramadan content.

Woke up this morning and my @instagram account is not functioning. Clearly shadow banned due to posting video of Al Aqsa being attacked. Nothing inflammatory about what I said at all. Unbelievable.

[Green Ummah @greenummah]

Green Ummah is looking for volunteers for our Research Blog Team alongside Imam @YousefWahb. We invite anyone and everyone to message us to get involved. Please see the post for the preferred experience. Contact [email protected] if you’re interested!

[Yousef Wahb @YousefWahb]

Grateful that my article "Faith-Based Divorce Proceedings" has been published by the Canadian Family Law Quarterly journal!

An earlier version received the 2021 John E VanDuzer Award for Family Law, as the best #familylaw paper by an Ontario law student. #lawtwitter 1/4

[Paul Champ @PaulChampLaw]

Even a Third Grader understands its totally unfair to remove a teacher from her job simply for wearing a religious scarf. All Canadians need to stand up against this discriminatory law passed by the Quebec government. Stand with Ms Fatemeh and the students who miss her.
