The despair & emotion liberals expressed about Trump's win, such a profound contrast to their cold indifference (or worse) to a year long genocide, shows so starkly the racist hierarchy of lives that, behind their sanctimonious moralising, fundamentally underpins their worldview.
As we all know, the historical precedent is that fascists only go after one minority and then stop! And Palestinians are clearly an acceptable sacrifice so that queer and trans people and Pakistan(?) can be safe. No flaws here.
I don't usually like to quote takes like this, but it is astounding to me and I've been thinking about it for a while. Who even needs conservatives if there's "progressives" like this :)
World Central Kitchen identifies the slain Canadian aid worker as 33-year-old Jacob Flickinger. Our thoughts go his friends and family, may his memory be a blessing. Canada must ensure that his killers are held accountable.
“I cleared the rubble from Israeli airstrikes, tilled the soil, and planted seeds. This is our home, our land. Everything will return more beautiful than before.”

HE DIED WHILE HIS FAMILY IN CANADA WAITED TO RECEIVE HIM
His family has still not received the codes they need to apply for visas under Canada's program for extended family members in Canada. They applied on January 9.
This is so tragic and shameful.

Minister Joly's statement that Canada will end arms exports to Israel “appears too good to be true, and we need to make sure that Canada stops the transfer of all military exports, period, without any loopholes,” CJPME told @Mondoweiss https://t.co/XFgKfSV03R
Shocked by @melaniejoly's constant failure of leadership.
How can Canada have credibility in calling for a two-state-solution when it only recognizes one state?
139 countries recognized Palestinian statehood. Not Canada. The Liberals must vote yes to a state for Palestine.
So insightful! Now let's look at how Israel was recognized as a state, when it was founded by the most moral armed militias, in a perfectly non-aggressive and nice way! Right? 🤡
Want to be recognized as a state? Just go and brutally kill 1200+ Jews.
Thats the precedent Liberal MP’s are setting for the likes of Hamas and its supporters if they decide to vote for this motion.
If the reports are true, Canada’s reported pause on supposedly ‘non-lethal’ exports is a major admission that these military goods pose a serious human rights risk after all, and confirms that civil society was right all along in calling for an embargo. https://t.co/BB6LtPp6dh
Maybe I was dreaming, but I feel like there were some events recently where a company was selling land in these illegal settlements and a bunch of Liberals were attacking activists for trying to stop it.
The Canadian Government needs to do more than move forward with empty platitudes. Every single person who has been killed while waiting for their application to be processed died at the hands of our own government. This is outrageous & didn't happen with applications from Ukraine
Melanie is enjoying her vacation "with Gaza visible in the distance".
Children are being starved while she heads from meal to meal in boutique hotels. Utterly despicable.
Terrified of this massive grassroots unfunded show of support for Palestine, CIJA has begun a counter campaign to get MPs to vote no. Let's get louder. Use this tool to send a letter, you can send as many as you want.

Expressing "Canadian solidarity" with a far-right regime as it is actively committing genocide is pretty beyond the pale. No amount of humanitarian aid could ever compensate for what @melaniejoly is doing here: giving diplomatic cover to Israel as it starves children to death.
