The Independent Int'l Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory presents new report to the UN Human Rights Council.
"The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted & killed by the Israeli security forces."

@zoomafrika1 There's no genocide in Congo. Throwing that word around diminishes actual genocide. DRC has had a rough time no doubt, but it's the government there that is responsible for allowing the exploitation of its resources while the powerful pocket revenues.
I keep thinking about this photo taken yesterday.
Prime Minister of Canada, @MarkJCarney, stands in front of an Israeli flag speaking about how hate against any group of peoples is wrong. While, the International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel is committing the crime of apartheid and illegal occupation in the West Bank and genocide in Gaza against Palestinians. This is hate and discrimination translated into systematic legal injustice and mass death and slaughter.
There is an obligation for Canada as a third party state to not be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity and violations of international law.
Standing in front of a flag of a state committing apartheid and genocide, while still sending weapons to Israel to commit these crimes, should demonstrate to all humanity and peace loving people in Canada to seriously question our politicians and confront this current reality for what it truly is.
Canada is deeply committed and embedded in the structural oppression against Palestinians, entrenching the systematic colonial rule of Western settler colonial states in a world where the rich and powerful can choose to continue to break all the international laws and obligations because they know consequences are beneath them.
I know so many good and decent people who refuse such a world and reality where impunity is enjoyed by the war criminals. Rather we fight for a world where human rights for all is defended without exception. Where our obligations to international law and the global community actually means something.
@Terrilltf@MarkJCarney It's enraging!! Residential school denialism. Missing and murdered Indigenous women. Medical discrimination. Lack of infrastructure and clean water. But we have to protect Israel??? And pointing this out almost considered criminal?! And the amount of Islamophobia?!
@agraybee Leia and Obi-Wan hanging out in the Ibi-Wan series when her hologram suggests she didn't know him at all. If she knew him so well at 10 years old, she would not forget so easily.
@SerotoninRoninS@agraybee I think I read somewhere that Harrison Ford wanted to be killed off early. He hated the franchise, apparently. But ignoring Chewie for Rey is unforgivable
