‘Traumatised’ Maccabi Tel Aviv fans arriving at Ben Gurion airport from Amsterdam singing:
Ole ole, ole ole ole
Let the IDF win & fuck the Arabs
Ole ole, ole ole ole
Why is school out in Gaza?
There are no children left there!”
This is quite possibly the only video you have to watch today.
Israel, the pariah state that it is, must be suspended from the United Nations for gross violations of international law and order.
Israel is wiping out border village after border village in South Lebanon.
Centuries-old villages.
When ISIS did this in Syria and Iraq, the whole world went crazy.
But when Israel systematically does the exact same thing in Palestine and Lebanon, nobody bats an eyelash.
Powerful article co-authored by IJV member @SamHersh01 in the @TorontoStar
"We want real leadership... Leadership that, yes, condemns attacks on Jews, but also confronts the reality of Israel’s occupation and calls for an immediate end to the atrocities in Gaza."
Unicef spokesperson @1james_elder is recently back from Gaza. He tells me the humanitarian situation there is "everything that the international community ever feared, but worse somehow: no aid and more attacks on civilian areas."
Israel's ongoing assaults on health workers in Gaza and Lebanon highlight its unchecked impunity, even in the face of a Western world that professes to champion human rights and humanitarian values.
Frankly, this is wildly irresponsible for a major party, particularly one trying to emphasize fiscal prudence as one of their key selling points. Political parties should have their platforms and costing complete and publicly available well in advance of E-Day. #bcpoli

The deadliest years of the opioid crisis occurred while Marshall Smith was "architecting" the Alberta Recovery Model. Drugs were getting more and more toxic and the UCP responded by defunding harm reduction services. That's his record. #ableg#abpoli

What’s been happening in Gaza for nearly a year now has been apocalyptic for people living there.
But rather than take serious steps to try to stem Israeli atrocities, many governments are instead nervously watching them expand to Lebanon.

My mum's partner qualified for the Canadian Dental Plan. He showed his card and got an appt. the next day. He needed a root canal and only paid $250 of the $1,600 bill.
Dental care is healthcare.
The @CPC_HQ voted against it.
The CPC don't care about you.

Today I gave a speech calling out the cynicism and fundamental unfitness for public leadership of Pierre Poilievre. He called a non-confidence motion to force an election this morning and then never even showed up.
It speaks volumes.

I try hard to keep my cool on this site, but this is next level. I’m livid right now.
Although @Conservative_BC promotes recovery as the solution to the toxic drug crisis, apparently they don’t support recovery that includes employment.
Here’s @TimThielmann attacking someone in recovery, who — just like me — survived his addiction, paid for his crimes, turned his life around, and now works to support and help lift others out of a similar path. This individual is a friend of mine, and I can tell you for a fact, he’s saved MANY lives.
It takes a lot for us to make it out of addiction and back into a society that has often rejected us in the past. To doxx an individual in recovery — with their record from over a decade ago — is not OK.
I’m truly disgusted, and not at all surprised that @Adam_Stirling is involved in this attack.
Anything for votes, hey boys? #bcpoli
ABC promised to hire 100 mental health nurses, instead they hired 175 police officers. If that wasn't enough to make people feel safe I'm wondering why doubling down on this strategy versus the other one is the correct move. #vanpoli
