Seeing how Mahmoud Khalil was detained is unreal.

A guy wearing an Avengers shirt from an unnamed agency says “we have you,” they refuse to give their names and it seems he has no rights to be read while being arrested, all while his pregnant wife watches

🔴 BREAKING: A UN probe finds Israel carried out genocidal acts by destroying Gaza’s fertility centre, imposing a siege, and blocking aid. Israel rejects the claims.

Yesterday, @JustinTrudeau declared he's a Zionist. For those of us puzzled by Canada’s silence on Gaza’s genocide, this is no surprise.

Zionism, like Canadian settler-colonialism, is rooted in displacement and oppression. As a PM who claims to recognize colonial crimes here, we expect him to see the same beyond our borders.

Sadly, the crimes he condemns in Canada, he condones when committed by Israel. #cdnpoli

People's Assembly vote for BDS & against scholasticide passes unanimously! This is what democracy looks like🍉 #EndScholasticide #FreePalestine #DemocracyAtISA #MembersVote #BDSatISA

[Nisha @nnath]

I don't know much abt the ISA, but this seems to align with an assc that is belligerently undemocratic in its attempts to quell BDS & Palestine solidarity. Hoping members rise up against this ghoulish decision, esp in the context of an ongoing genocide.

Few things capture the cynical liberal imperialism of the ISA quite as well as this opening plenary.
Who would combine an Indigenous land acknowledgement with a Ben Gurion University scholar's talk & a "Happy Hour" during a live colonial genocide?
The political message is clear.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Israeli PM @netanyahu, wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity, persists in unlawful actions, now in full swing in the occupied West Bank. These actions are leading Israel to a troubling point in history.
It's crucial for int'l law to be enforced, holding Israel accountable, starting with its leaders.

Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.

The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

Israel just banned @UNRWA, the UN Palestinian refugee agency, from operating in the West Bank and Gaza. In the midst of a debilitating famine. This is a broader attack on the UN and multilateral legal institutions. 🧵

Apartheid Israel obviously fails the basic conditions of UN membership. Besides its repeated military attacks on the UN – including the recent use of white phosphorus against 15 peacekeepers in Lebanon – Israel continues to add, every day, new levels of atrocities to the livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is deploying its genocidal playbook, developed in Gaza, in Lebanon, perpetrating rolling massacres in the country, and it is escalating its aggression against other states in the region.

Commitment to the right of return of the Palestine refugees was a necessary condition for Israel’s admission to the UN in the first place. Yet, Israel has continued to escalate its policy of ethnic cleansing. Today, 9.17 million Palestinians, 64% of the entire Palestinian people, are refugees or displaced from their homes while Israel denies them their right of return and reparations.

For all this and much more, Israel must be kicked out of the UN – just as apartheid South Africa was, 50 years ago.

The most important @AcademicAuntie ep we've released, w/ the indomitable Dr. Ghada Ageel, a prof & third-generation Palestinian refugee (Khan Younis). Spend this hour with us to hear about the realities in Gaza & what Palestinian colleagues & students in diaspora are holding.

This was on the 12th day of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The world let it pass and now Israel’s sick insatiable obsession with bombing hospitals is a regular occurrence.
