The paper theorizes athleticide + situates it in the literature on cultural genocide. It also attempts to empirically account for the nature of Israel's athleticide in Gaza. This is, horrifically, an impossible task because the atrocities continue to accumulate every single day.

We argue in this peer-reviewed article that 'athleticide' is a modality of cultural genocide, in turn part of a larger genocidal project of eradication, and has been a feature of the US-NATO-funded Israeli state’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023.

In this paper we define 'athleticide' – "the systematic obliteration of athletics through the killing, disabling, arrest, or detention of athletes, coaches, staff, officials, and administrators, and the destruction of athletic infrastructure and history."

22 authors in a new open access peer-reviewed article in Sociology of Sport Journal: Israel is committing *athleticide* in Gaza, "an indispensable component of the overall genocidal campaign enforced by the Israeli settler colonial regime and bankrolled by the United States."

@dimitrilascaris This is what solidarity looks like! Well done sir!

@b_mogil If you're bragging about your investment in this criminal enterprise, you need help. For the sake of us all, get some therapy.

After more than 17 years as a client, I've ended my relationship with Scotiabank's Wealth Management division due to the bank's large stake in Israel's murderous drone manufacturer, Elbit Systems. Prior to taking this decision, I met with Scotiabank's Head of Canadian Wealth

Great rally of around 200 this morning at City Hall opposing Lansdowne 2.0 - a deal that will cost taxpayers half a billion all while lining the pockets of billionaires and corporate developers. @_MarkSutcliffe has tried to sell this as a good investment but it is anything but.

I’m enthusiastically supportive of building more affordable studios in the context of missing-middle developments that also include larger, family-sized units. But large projects dominated by studios represent a serious opportunity cost: every acre devoted to micro-units is an

Apparently protesting the presence of individuals on campus who participated in a genocide, as part of a tour called “Combat on Campus”, equates to “targeting Jewish students”. How cretinous & racist do you have to be to still buy into this lunacy? It’s embarrassing.

@AnitaAnandMP @ABZayed How can Canada and the UAE "work together to advance peace and stability" when the UAE is allegedly arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries as they commit genocide in Sudan? Will Canada continue exporting arms to the UAE? https://t.co/hxxNCkvCCI

7/ The guy in the photo with @BradMBradford at the event is also a JDL supporter and was also filmed on @UofT campus last year threatening students. His name is Doc Von Lichtenberg.

6/ Last week, councillor @BradMBradford was at a get together in Toronto with supporters of the Jewish Defence League and their former director, Meir Weinstein.

Not a single Canadian corporate media outlet has touched this story yet. 67 year old gets charged with assault & bodily harm for threatening Palestinians with ammonium hydroxide, which can put a hole in your skin. She’s also wearing the insignia of Zionist terrorist group JDL.

Nearly half a million Torontonians voted Conservative but only one MP was elected. First past the post keeps their voices shut out. If @PierrePoilievre truly wants to give Urban Conservatives a voice across Canada, it’s time to back proportional representation.
