@RadioGenoa OMG! you’re such an ignorant moron it’s almost hilarious 😂 😂 😂 You have no idea who these people are and you have no idea what they’re doing. Lord knows where you even found the clip. But you use it as an excuse to spread vitriol and hate. #ignoramus #despicable

When Gov says:
We value freedom of expression

Gov means:
We weaken protest rights at any opportunity and try to divide the people to hide from accountability for our actions

When we say:
When we stand together against injustice, we win

We mean:
WE WILL NOT BE DIVIDED

Gabor Mate: "You can listen to any number of IDF soldiers who talk about the brutality that they now regret having committed."

Here are two of them:

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

"What we are about to witness is the total destruction of civilian infrastructure and the mass ethnic cleansing [of the Palestinian people]."

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today, I'm thinking of all those in Israel and Palestine suffering unimaginable pain, trauma and fear.

The horrific attacks on civilians in Israel were deplorable. This cannot justify the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians, who are paying the price for a crime they did not commit.

Half of Gaza’s population are children. Trapped in an open-air prison without food, water, gas or electricity, they are watching their homes turn to rubble with nowhere to go.

We should condemn the use of violence against all civilians, Israeli and Palestinian. And we must renew our calls for an immediate ceasefire to prevent any further loss of life.

In times of war, we need more voices for peace — and the only way to achieve peace is to end the occupation.

No government does what the Tories are planning with asylum seekers because they think it’s morally good, or economically efficient.

They’re treating refugees like criminals because they want a pat on the head from the Daily Mail.

My simple religion is that there is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart are our temple; and our philosophy is kindness.

@kevinjgsmith Thanks pal 💜 And also to all those who have NOT chosen to not be mothers, but for one reason or another have not been able to make it happen. Thinking of you, and your grief that is all too often invisibilised. 💛
