This is a Roshel Senator-style armoured vehicle, built in Brampton, Ontario. ICE placed an expedited order with Roshel last November for a fleet of 20 such vehicles.

It is unclear who is operating this particular vehicle (i.e. ICE, the National Guard, etc). What is clear is that this vehicle - which is subject to Canada's arms export legislation - is now on the streets of Minneapolis, being used amid ICE's widespread human rights violations.

I took this footage when I was about 13. What you’re seeing is Jewish American tourists parading around our house like it’s a zoo, gloating about stealing it, harassing us and hurling insults. This is some of what we are protesting when we protest land theft events at Yeshivas.

@JILLSLASTWORD Thank you for naming it for what it is! The first of many more TEMU moves to come from this government 🤬

@ShaykhSulaiman Yes.

The state of Israel at the UN call Francesca Albanese "a witch"...

This is how they treat UN officials unmasking their crimes.

Her response is perfect.

Imagine what lies they make up about Palestinians when they accuse respected UN figures of witchcraft.....

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Peace without justice, respect for human rights and dignity, without reparations and guarantees of non reeptition, is not sustainable.

Questo è il paese che ha combattuto e sconfitto il fascismo.
Questo è il paese che spero tornerà a votare per sconfiggerlo un'altra volta ancora.
Milano e l'Italia sono in piazza per gridare
Ora e sempre, resistenza!

U of T was always implicated in genocide. And it is now more than ever. This needs to stop. Now.

‼️UofT welcomes genocide profiteers to campus‼️

As a @UofT student, I am wondering why my university is allowing a weapons manufacturer @prattandwhitney implicated in genocide onto campus to recruit students.

This event is co-hosted by @UofTStudentLife, while UofT ignores the concerns of its own students and continues to invest in and maintain relationships with weapons companies and institutions implicated in the destruction of every single university in Gaza.

@prattandwhitney engines power almost every single warplane that has bombed hundreds of Palestinian university professors and tens of thousands of students.

Shame on @UofT @UofTStudentLife.

Keep genocide off our campuses.

Cancel the event.

“when I gained language, it felt like I had finally found a friend on this brutal planet…
What I never expected was that one day this friend would fall silent. Not because I wanted to stop writing, but because I no longer could.
And the reason?
I am hungry.”

Get.
Israel.
Out of Gaza.

And the West Bank. And east Jerusalem.

@SarahMDowling1 And his speech last night made it sound like he’s about to assemble a war cabinet. The rhetoric of national unity and needed sacrifices ahead are prepping the ground for austerity programs that inevitably impact the most vulnerable.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

No words for this. Mohsen Madawi, the Palestinian student from Columbia, had gone in for a citizenship interview — it was a trap to abduct him.

[elena basile @throwofdice]

@SarahMDowling1 I will do my best to attend!

@JILLSLASTWORD I am so disappointed you didn't win your seat, Jill. This riding deserved every inch of your indefatigable advocacy. I hope you will run again in the not so distant future!

“There cannot be coexistence if one side does not have existence.”

In their Oscar-nominated film, "No Other Land," a coalition of Palestinian and Israel directors document Israel’s decadeslong effort to expel Palestinians from their homes in the occupied West Bank.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

As I seem to be shadowbanned, I repeat:

The "riviera plan" for Gaza is nonsense, which nonetheless must be taken very seriously. President Trump has basically declared his intention to commit the int'l crime of forced displacement and resort to unlawful use of force against the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination, in violation of the UN Charter - amounting to aggression.
The 191 members of the UN who still have an interest in protecting themselves from this madness, better recover from their paralysis and stand united against this imperialist lawlessness.

PS: In any case, this plan won't work. How do I know? 76 years of failed attempts by Israel, including 16 months of genocidal assault. Indigenous people do not leave their land.

Protests work!!
