Not terrified by this graph?

That’s because you’ve been deliberately confused & distracted by inanity, culture wars & conspiracy theories spread by a media & politics in the pocket of psychotic billionaires who are gutting our society & our futures for grotesque personal profit.

💥CANADA POST MANAGEMENT IS THE PROBLEM💥
An overview of the strike now entering its third week. It is a laundry list of management aggression and cruelty on top of a record of incompetence and sabotage of a vital public service. Which side are you on?

[Palestine Festival of Literature @PalFest]

Since launching 24 hours ago this has risen to a total of 4,500 writers and publishing professionals pledging to boycott all complicit Israeli institutions.

Names are coming in faster than we can process them.

[Davide Mastracci @DavideMastracci]

A judge has ordered ISPs to block two websites critiquing Indigo CEO Heather Reisman for at least two years. Reisman started and funds a charity that offers a range of benefits to so-called lone soldiers, who are foreigners that join the Israeli army.

The CBC needs to stop silencing journalists who cover Palestine.

Former CBC journalist Arfa Rana was punished by editors for her work.

They went as far as to call Palestine an "outdated term."

Enough of ‘both-sides’ coverage during a genocide, let journalists do their job.

[Publishers for Palestine @pubforpalestine]

BREAKING: Today, more than 1000 authors are launching a mass boycott of Israeli publishers who are complicit in the dispossession of the Palestinian people. This declaration amounts to the largest cultural boycott of Israeli institutions in history.

[BC Civil Liberties Association @bccla]

The BCCLA, alongside a coalition of organizations, families, and advocates, is calling for a public inquiry into disproportionate police violence against Indigenous peoples and the Crown’s failure to prosecute the police.

A video listing names of Palestinians killed in Gaza is 59 minutes long. It takes over a minute to get through “0 years old.”

This is genocide.

An important and powerful statement! We need to escalate our actions and disrupt business as usual!

What Have We Learned: Israel’s Genocide and Palestine’s Resistance, One Year On

Indigenous for Palestine put together these reflections:

[Anna🍉🗝️ @anna_lippman]

This day last year, I awoke to hundreds of messages. I assumed it was a prank. Breaking out of the world’s largest open air prison? I thought of the march of return. Finally, I believed what was happening. Then I heard about the Nova festival. I thought of my time on kibbutz Re’im and knew many of the children I worked with 14 years ago would be at this rave, drinking and dropping ecstasy while dancing on top of Palestinian graves. I put on my Jews for Palestinian liberation shirt and went to the bridge to wave Palestinian flags over the highway. I met a woman that I’ve seen at every action this year. She asked if I was Palestinian and when I pointed to my shirt, she quickly embraced me. She said many Jewish people are against Israel and I agreed. She handed me a flag and we waved and chanted together. My heart was heavy that day for the Israelis who lost their lives. My heart was heavy for the Palestinians who experienced so much oppression that armed resistance was their only answer. Who am I to tell Palestinians suffering under violent colonialism how to resist? How can I be in solidarity with Palestine if my support is conditional upon ‘appropriate’ forms of resistance? This year has been filled with grief. Grief for the genocide in Gaza. Grief for Lebanon and Yemen. Grief for my rejection from many areas of the Jewish community. I also grieve for Israelis and Jewish people all over the world. Those who have lost their humanity through the dehumanization of their neighbours. Those who have died in the service of the Zionist entity. Those who have been so indoctrinated into Zionism, they are blind. No one is free until everyone is free. That is why I fight for a free Palestine. That is why, even in complex grief, I will use every breath in my body to call for a liberated Palestine.

This is why recognizing and addressing the Truth of settler colonialism and genocide must come before any reconciliation. Without that it just means accepting continuing settler colonialism. Solidarity and support for all Indigenous struggles. Land Back! End police violence!

Kris Kristofferson on losing work for supporting Palestine: “if that’s the way it has to be, that’s the way it has to be”

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

On this day 24 years ago, the world watched, helplessly, as Jamal al-Durrah tried to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from Israeli bullets that rained down on them in Gaza for 40 minutes. Despite pleads, Israeli soldiers intentionally shot Muhammad in the stomach, whose final moments of fear and horror were caught on camera and streamed by France TV, and injured his father.

Muhammad became the defining and haunting image of the Second Intifada.
