Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

Jewish Canadians who oppose genocide are indeed being failed by Canada’s civic contract

[Domhnall (Cogito) @CogitoEdu]

Reading How To Sell A Genocide, the NYT called every major population centre in the Gaza Strip a "Hamas stronghold" at some point.

They actively worked to militarise civilians in Gaza to justify genocide

Jesse Brown launching a podcast called "The Nuance" hosted by Stephen Marche with special guest Chrystia Freeland... wasn't the point of Canadaland that it was "alternative" in some way? If you like this shit wouldn't you just read the Globe instead?

This shameless hack shared a stage with Ben Shapiro and Gad Saad like two days ago

It’s children exactly like this that Israel has slaughtered in their tens and tens of thousands.

Met with the great leader of Spain Pedro Sánchez (Prime Minister of Spain) during the Global progressive Mobilization in Barcelona Spain and thanked him for his support to Palestine.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

We are spending at least $500 million a day to bomb Iran.

Imagine how many teachers we could hire, how many public housing units we could build, how many bridges and roads we could fix, if we spent that kind of money on improving life for working people?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Who the fuck are you?

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The world finally sees the true nature of an Apartheid state that has terrorized, displaced. executed, jailed and tortured millions of Palestinians for decades. Israel won’t stop until States and people force it to stop.

Israel is a rogue terror state that should be sanctioned and barred from the global economy

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

When you see a Jewish woman outside a synagogue that has been bombed.

By Israel.

In Iran.

Not wearing a head scarf.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

Let the record show that, when a deranged American president threatened mass murder on a potentially unprecedented scale, the prime minister of Canada waffled some absolutely meaningless boilerplate then reiterated his support for the very same war.

Lol. These two witches are fighting. 😂

[Sid Shniad @SidShniad]

Stephen Lewis overcame his attachment to Zionism when the gulf between the myth and the reality grew too large to ignore.

How about you, @IrwinCotler @CIJA @bnaibrithcanada @TheRWCHR @nicoslobinsky @AviBenlolo @richardmarceau?

Do you have the moral integrity to do the same?

[Larry Savage @Prof_Savage]

The unions that endorsed Rob Ashton for #NDP leader collectively represent 659,200 members. Ashton received 4,193 votes. That means fewer than 0.7% of members from endorsing unions joined the party and voted for him.

The fall off of Rob Ashton needs to be studied

[Jeremy Appel @JeremyAppel1025]

Conflating the Epstein class with Jewish people writ large, as Selina Robinson does here, is deeply antisemitic
