I just asked sports minister
@PascaleStOnge_
who is pushing to bar 🇷🇺 & Belarusian
athletes from sports competitions whether she felt the same way about US athletes after they invaded Iraq? Or 🇨🇦 athletes after bombing Libya. Or apartheid 🇮🇱 athletes? She smirked & walked away
Canada’s foreign minister
@melaniejoly
didn’t appreciate being told she has Palestinian blood on her hands. Her walk of shame up the stairwell is something to behold
Foreign minister lost her cool today when someone asked her to lift the cap on Palestinians fleeing Gaza. After
@melaniejoly
hits phone & grabs person they tell her she has no right to go for walk without be challenged on her promotion of genocide
Jarring admission from mayor of Montréal suburb. At event with Israel consul yesterday, Hampstead mayor Jeremy Levi told me he would continue supporting Israel even if they killed 100 000 Palestinian children in Gaza since “good needs to prevail over evil”

press conference to ask if she’s a warmonger and to criticize her for devoting half a billion $ in last week’s budget for weapons to fight Russia.
Today I asked prominent Quebec capitalist & TV personality
@mitchgarber

A leading funder of apartheid lobby, Garber boasts that his son left his privileged Montreal life to join military killing Palestinians
In March 71% of McGill undergrads voted to boycott firms complicit in Israeli apartheid. Admin responded by threatening student union funding. I interrupted a big funding announcement today to ask McGill’s head whether students have right to oppose killing of Palestinian children

Hillel Neuer calling him an “anti-Palestinian bigot” who “promotes religious & ethnic supremacy in Israel”

Multiple thousands marching at emergency Montréal protest against bombing of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital & Canada's complicity in Israel's genocidal policies in Gaza

I just asked Québec finance minister
@EricGirardMFQ
why his CAQ government opposes a ceasefire despite Israel killing more than 12 000 Palestinian children. He fled room to go hide

@JustinTrudeau
stop enabling Israel’s genocidal siege & violence in Gaza
I just asked
@PresidentCBCRC
why CBC is enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza?
Before being tossed I also raised CBC blocking reporters from using the word “Palestine” even forcing a host to apologize for using the word when interviewing author who published a novel titled Palestine
NDP minister
@selinarobinson
justifying genocide by calling Palestine “a crappy piece of land with nothing on it”. Hateful, bigoted remarks that should result in her immediate resignation
@Dave_Eby
Today
@JustinTrudeau
was heckled repeatedly at Greek Independence day parade in Montréal for his contribution to the slaughter & starvation in Gaza

role in enabling Israel’s genocidal siege & slaughter in Gaza
Today I interrupted McGill press event with billionaire Charles Bronfman to denounce his anti-Palestinianism, including launching Birthright & family sending weapons to ethnically cleanse Palestinians in 1948.I asked if at late stage in life he wanted to apologize to Palestinians
Big win. As far as I know this is first time in Canadian history a minister has been pushed out of cabinet for anti-Palestinian racism
The message sent to social democratic politicians is that the Palestine solidarity movement has power & there's a cost to promoting genocide
B.C. Premier David Eby
@Dave_Eby
has removed Ms. Selina Robinson from her post as Minister.
We appreciate the engagement with his office and the decision to take action.
Ms. Robinson has made a string of deeply offensive and ignorant remarks about Palestinian history,…
Today I challenged
@JustinTrudeau
on his role in ramping up the NATO proxy war with Russia. I questioned him on Canada sending over $2 billion in arms to Ukraine last year as Canada opposes China’s call for a truce & calls for regime change in Moscow
Today I asked
@cafreeland

At presser yesterday I asked
@MarcMillerVM
if he wanted to apologize to Palestinians for his role in enabling genocide. Instead the minister repeatedly denigrates me, condemning my “schtick” of challenging politicians.He’s far more angry with me than 🇮🇱 for killing 20 000 in Gaza
6 hours later 8 occupy front of
@JustinTrudeau
office saying they won’t leave until he calls for ceasefire.2 hrs ago police chased 20 of us out by threatening arrest but they are reluctant to follow thru as PM doesn’t want negative publicity knowing public backs ceasefire
This genocide promoting NDP minister who called Palestine before European colonization a “crappy piece of land with nothing on it” must be immediately removed from cabinet. Please take a minute to email the action alert letter she’s angry with me about to BC premier
@Dave_Eby
BC Post-Secondary Education minister

CBC Power & Politics host
@DavidWCochrane
didn’t appreciate my questioning his biased coverage of Israel’s slaughter in Gaza. He sped off to the fortress hosting the Liberal Cabinet retreat & police interceded to stop the questions
Lawsuit launched against 🇨🇦 govt to stop arms exports to 🇮🇱. Canadian & Palestinian applicants are seeking Federal Court order to stop govt from issuing export permits for military goods & technology to 🇮🇱& declaration that issuing permits is unlawful under 🇨🇦 & international law
Zionist fanatic tries to run a Palestinian protester over and then gets out of his car rambling about “terrorist organization” and “go to Jordan where you belong”
@LevittMichael
I thought you’d become ashamed after 10 000 children were slaughtered but it’s now clear your Jewish supremacism is so intense there’s no number of Palestinian babies Israel can kill you won’t support
Yesterday I interrupted UN ambassador
@BobRae48
to challenge his support for NATO proxy war & recent UN votes against Palestinian rights, condemning neonazism & treaty prohibiting nuclear arms.I questioned his role propping up unelected Haiti leader & backing of US empire

@JustinTrudeau
for refusing to endorse court ruling & to instead bolster genocide aims by suspending aid to refugees in Gaza
@JesseBrown
@KindaHagi
What a joke. “Give charity to Israel” HESEG has bunch of top former IDF on board & finances non Israelis to join IDF. It’s also given donations to assist military operations.
Popular uprising against genocide spreads to ski hills. While snowboarding
@justitrudeau
challenged for enabling Israel’s mass slaughter & starvation in Gaza
@melaniejoly
I’m old enough to remember when you went on a self declared “solidarity” trip to an apartheid state that had already slaughtered more than 30 000 in Gaza
I just interrupted

He scuttled away & police hauled me off
I just interrupted a press conference with Minister

@JustinTrudeau
role in slaughtering Palestinians and war across the region
Just interrupted Technion Canada fundraiser to denounce its support for Israeli military. Guy moved across room to punch me in head.
Why has the Canadian govt provided tens of millions $ in subsidies to a registered charity that assists Israeli military’s war crimes?
In recent years Vancouver police chief hosted Israeli police Major General, participated in Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center training & its Board was addressed by CIJA. After Oct 7 VPD posted message hyping Palestinian threat to Jews & now its officers are wearing Israeli flags
Absolutely everyone should be concerned by this. No matter where you stand on this, the
@VancouverPD
should be partisan. As head of police board
@KenSimCity
should address this
#vanpoli

CTV has directed journalists not to use word “Palestine”, featured far more 🇮🇱 than 🇵🇸 voices & cultivated “culture of fear” in newsroom over criticizing 🇮🇱. Today I asked CTV Montréal
@SGirouxCTV
if he felt CTV coverage enabled 🇮🇱 genocide. His terse answer suggests he may agree
@BobRae48
@kolga
Ok. But there are a lot of US/Canadian journalists that promoted Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan wars. Is it ok to bomb cafes where they are speaking, injuring large numbers?
Yesterday was largest antiwar/international solidarity mobilization in Canada since the 2003 protests against the invasion of Iraq but according to a look at Twitter accounts no NDP MP joined over 100 000 internationalists who took the streets in 30 different cities. Embarrassing
Bumped into old friend

At event with Israeli consul in Montréal tonight I asked 🇨🇦 🇮🇱 parliamentary group head
@AHousefather
how many Palestinian kids had to be killed before he withdrew support. The anti-Palestinian sociopath - who went on recent support trip to Israel - simply ran away
