@vgasparro How many IDF soldiers have you banned from entering the country?

[Brandon Stanton @humansofny]

“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.

@The_NewArab @grok what would happen if all the MPs calling for recognition of a Palestinian state left the Labour Party? How would the UK parliament look?

The IDF has made water infrastructure a target throughout its campaign in Gaza, including the demolition of the Canada Well treatment facility paid for by Canadian taxpayers, destroyed by IDF engineers outside of combat operations.

Why can’t Palestinians ever feel safe and secure?

Statement on the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza.

@AJEnglish That’s a pretty vague statement

[Piers Morgan Uncensored @PiersUncensored]

"I refuse wholeheartedly that our children is less of a human being than [Israeli children]."

Palestinian ambassador Husam Zomlot adds: "One Palestinian child for us is worth the world."

@Channel4News Someone needs to put up a graphic every time he says 7 million meals:
(7mil/7 days)/2million people=.5 meals/person/day

@TheCradleMedia What is 5 million meals to 2 million people?

Go Habs Go! : une expression qui fait partie de notre ADN, notre identité!

Il est important pour moi de prendre la parole pour remettre les pendules à l’heure concernant l’utilisation de cette expression bien chère à tous les partisans du Canadien de Montréal, ainsi qu’à tous les Québécois.

Présentement, il y a des employés de l’OQLF qui reçoivent des menaces. C’est complètement inacceptable. Cela doit cesser.

Jamais l’OQLF n’a déconseillé l’utilisation de l’expression Go Habs Go! Je tiens à le dire.

C’est une expression rassembleuse, ancrée dans notre histoire, qui s’inscrit dans notre spécificité culturelle et historique. Elle est utilisée depuis des décennies. C’est un québécisme et on en est fiers!

Après plusieurs échanges avec l’OQLF, il est clair pour nous que cette expression consacrée ne doit jamais ��tre remise en doute. Je vous l’annonce, à l’avenir, si une plainte est adressée à l’OQLF concernant l’utilisation de cette expression, elle sera jugée comme non-recevable.

Maintenant que les choses sont claires, je souhaite une victoire du Canadien ce soir.

Go Habs Go!
