This is unreal: they shot a 14-year-old Palestinian American boy in the head while he was picking almonds and the NYT still leads with “Israel says they killed a terrorist.”
If an 11-year-old Israeli influencer—a girl who delivered food and toys to displaced children—had been killed, the Empire State Building would be lit up for her. Her face would be on the homepage of every US news outlet. Her name would be on the tongue of every US politician.
If you're in or near Ottawa tomorrow, please consider joining @TorontoWBW and others in taking a stand against those who arm and enable war criminals. 7/7
The double standard on Palestinian lives could not be clearer.
Sanctions prohibit Canadians from doing business with Russian arms companies due to Russia's "grave human rights violations."
But no sanctions have been imposed against any Israeli arms company. 6/7
“Decolonial” scholars who remain silent on the genocide in Gaza are the absolute worst. They’ve advanced their careers on something they consider a topic to be written in the past tense.
⚡️BREAKING: Amid the famine in Gaza, tens of thousands of starving Palestinians stormed the American - Israeli [GHF] aid distribution center in Rafah, southern Gaza.
The American security staff managing the site fled the area and American company managing the site has withdrawn.
The army tried to humiliate Palestinians by controlling aid—forcing them into endless lines under the sun and deciding who gets food.
But tens of thousands of starving children, women, and elderly stormed the Israeli aid center in Rafah to get food baskets. In response, helicopters opened fire, and American staff withdrew.
These people were left to starve, until they risked their lives just to eat.
“It all starts with words. Once you dehumanize human beings, once you criminalize them collectively — killing them is the easy part.”
Journalist @rulajebreal speaks at the 'Who Killed Shireen?' documentary screening on the complicity and bias of US media coverage of Palestine.
I don’t have the words for the pain this image brings. After 86 days of starvation, they are herding my people into cages like livestock for a meal—concentration camps in broad daylight. The world watches. Some cheer. Most stay silent.
But I hope Jews are feeling safe.
Starving Gazans packed behind fences for a scrap of aid. This isn’t relief—it’s humiliation and dehumanization by design.
History won’t forget who watched and did nothing.
If you ever feel stupid, remember that the public was made to believe the strategic objective of occupying this strategic country in Central Asia was to let girls go to school.
🇷🇺 Oliver Stone: “The last three years have been harrowing for me in the West. I’ve learned, among other things, that the propaganda state in the West is an incredible empire—far bigger and stronger than I ever imagined. We are unable to see, from inside the matrix, the lies that have enveloped us—that Russia and China and Iran and so forth are our mortal enemies. This isn’t true. But we have succumbed to that because our media—the networks and the elitist media—have told us repeatedly, inventing lies about our enemies.
The worst of it was George Orwell. It’s George Orwell time. Imbecilic accusations against Mr. Putin and his Russia. In the old days, even in the worst of the Cold War, we never referred to Russia as ‘Khrushchev’ or ‘Brezhnev.’ That’s what we’re doing now. We call Russia ‘Putin,’ because Putin, for whatever reason, has been personalized. This isn’t policy. This is a tragic—this is a tragic substitution of hatred for intelligence.”
📍RIGHT NOW Tens of trucks are lined up along the Queensway in Toronto, as activists block entrance to the Ontario Food Terminal drawing attention to the forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. The 65 hectare site is the main produce hub for grocery stores & restaurants.
Side by side comparison of today's @CBCNews coverage of Russia's drone & missile strikes on Ukraine, and Israel's drone & missile strikes on Gaza, including a targeted strike that massacred Dr. Alaa al-Najjar's 9 young children while she was fulfilling her duties as a pediatrician at the Nasser medical complex.
John Mearsheimer yesterday: "It's not just Israeli leaders who support the genocide. You don't see any protest among the Israeli public. It's shocking. It's sickening. You have to file all this under the Nazification of Israel. They are like the Germans under Hitler."
"Blockades kill the most vulnerable first"
"Pregnant women have nothing to eat"
"Babies are born too small to survive"
"One in three pregnancies is now high risk, but only 12 hospitals are still providing maternity care"
