BREAKING: Termination of UNRWA Gaza employees raises serious questions about Canada's continued support for the agency.
The participation of UNRWA employees in the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust has been extensively documented. Despite UNRWA's refusal to fully acknowledge this reality, the decision to terminate 70 of its staff members in Gaza speaks for itself and should be a wake-up call for the Government of Canada: Canadian taxpayer dollars should never fund organizations linked to terror, incitement, or antisemitism.
Public funds should only be provided to organizations that uphold Canadian values and international human rights standards. UNRWA fails that test.
That is why, in 2024, Canadian families of October 7 victims and CIJA launched a legal challenge to the federal government's decision to restore funding to UNRWA.
We will continue to hold the government accountable.
Israeli violence in the occupied West Bank has escalated to unprecedented levels in recent months. Since October 2023, targeted attacks have killed more than one thousand Palestinians in the occupied territory.
Al Jazeera's Um-e-Kulsoom Shariff explains.
"Labour chose to remake itself as the party of genocide over the bodies of Palestinians."
@harriepw calls out Wes Streeting and other Labour politicians who are suddenly crying crocodile tears for Palestine.

Activists claim that sanctions against Israeli settlers fail to reflect either the scale of the violence or state complicity in settler attacks against Palestinians https://t.co/QIae9gcND6
An Israeli attack on a tent camp in Gaza City has killed at least six Palestinians and wounded a dozen more, including children.
Hamas condemned it as ‘a massacre of women and children’, accusing Israel of undermining ceasefire-related talks in Cairo.
This is beyond heartbreaking. How can we live in a world where babies are killed and families are destroyed with no consequences, no accountability, nothing? This genocide will haunt humanity for generations to come. Stop Israel, it’s nothing but an evil terrorist entity. There can be no peace until this cancer is gone.
The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.
It was in broad daylight.
The father says:
"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."
Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.
Israel executed baby Sam today with a bullet to the face in the occupied West Bank.
They killed his mother too.
Sam was only 7 months old.
They murdered a mother. And her infant.

This fake news. They were effigies of war criminals Trump, Netanyahu & Ben-Gvir. Stop spreading falsehoods. Start sanctioning war criminals, genocidaires and apartheid.
The display of a Jewish person in effigy in Montreal is a vile act of hate and it is absolutely deplorable.
We will always stand with Jewish communities across Canada: stand for their safety and stand with them against hate of all kinds. Antisemitism will never have a place in Canada.
This is so dystopian. And the people of Lebanon are just supposed to forget and forgive these atrocities according to our politicians.
Meanwhile Zionist Jews are allowed to hold murderous grudges through multiple generations and it’s viewed as totally normal and understandable.
Canada will impede entry of Palestinian and Iranian soccer delegations, Irish musicians, European parliamentarians, and 90 year old United Nations representatives.
We must deny entry to genocide-complicit war criminals coming to trade in weapons.
