Why do some of you keep exceptionalising Jewish voices? Do you not realise this is the other side of the same coin used to silence Palestinians? Why not focus on the reality on the ground, documented and spoken about by Palestinians, which everyone else is simply regurgitating?

[sarah hagi @KindaHagi]

respectfully, i think basically all mainstream and acceptable discussions about this genocide have been mostly about how jewish people feel?

[Canadian Journalists for Justice in Palestine @cjjpmedia]

When Maryam was killed today, @AP didn’t name her in their post & instead tried to distance themselves by labelling her a freelancer. @Reuters called Hossam a “contractor.”

It’s time for all journalists to think deeply about the outlets they work for.

Thank you @valeriezink

He posted 45 minutes ago and now he’s dead.

Kinetic strike. Most likely keyed off his cell phone signal, which the IDF tracks.

To the “journalists” in the West who toe the line with the NYT editorial board. Any words for your colleague?

[safia aidid @safiyaaaay]

starvation is an easier thing to condemn because it lends itself easily to obfuscation about Israel being the cause of Palestinian death. It's like the atrocity version of the passive voice headlines. Where were these people in 2 years of sniping babies and incinerating families

[ML Kejera 😐 @KejeraL]

Sinwar's last weapon being a stick reminds me of Refaat Alareer saying he'd throw markers if the IDF ever forced their way into his class

You are actively marginalizing and erasing the Jewish students at the heart of many of these demonstrations by acting like they’re all in agreement with supporting a genocide.

📢 URGENT: CALLING ALL FOR A 7 PM RALLY 📢

This morning we received a letter from UofT administration stating we are not allowed to protest after 10 PM, creating a pretext for potentially shutting down the encampment. 1/5

“To focus on what’s being said and who’s being offended on campus distracts from the actual destruction of Gaza and the role many of our institutions play in that.”

[Independent Jewish Voices @IndJewishVoices]

🇨🇦 officials’ responses to the actions of a handful of pro-Palestine protestors have been appalling.
Supporting 🇵🇸 resistance against 🇮🇱 oppression–whatever we think of the form that resistance takes–is not inherently antisemitic or terroristic, as @AmiraElghawaby expresses here:

This Sunday, IJV member @anna_lippman will share about her time spent volunteering in the West Bank, including the consistent violence faced by Palestinian residents of Masafer Yatta & the role volunteers can play in reducing it.

‼️FIELD EXECUTIONS, MASS DETENTIONS.

Alarming footage of Israeli forces turning a stadium in Gaza into a mass detention camp. The video shows the detention of hundreds of civilians, including women, elders, and BABIES.

@EuroMedHR has confirmed that the Israeli forces are carrying out field executions against civilians in Gaza after forcibly removing them from displacement centers and stripping them.

As we celebrate Hanukkah this year, let us rededicate ourselves to the struggle of Palestinian liberation by lending our Hanukkah lights to the Palestinian people.

When lighting the candles, consider doing so in honour of a different aspect of our collective struggle each day:

[LizaMinnelliOutlives @LiZaOutlives]

Liza Minnelli has outlived Henry Kissinger. The former Secretary of State was 100 yrs old and lived much longer than many people had hoped.

700 Jewish Canadians: We mourn, but our mourning is not a reason to commit atrocities on the Palestinian people. We test our humanity at the most difficult times – we do not respond to atrocities by committing atrocities on a larger scale. Read letter: https://t.co/3EoGSSvFm1 1/8

Last week the federally recognized point person on unmarked Indigenous burials, @kahnasatake, told me that @mcgillu & the SQI are “the worst offenders across the country” in terms of conducting appropriate searches of potential unmarked burial sites.

Palestinian Youth Movement has compiled a running list of literature about Palestine.

I highly recommend adding these texts to your reading list:

[Ricochet Media @ricochet_en]

Brandi Morin reports from northern Nevada, where Indigenous land protectors are squaring off w/ a Canadian mining company.

It’s a ‘white gold rush’ for lithium, a key resource for electric cars — and threat to Native land.

But can a mine ever be green?
