This genocide is changing history.
Longstanding narratives are being laid to rest, buried in the rubble of Gaza.

I’m a Jew and I feel pretty safe.
Two things make me feel unsafe:
1. The sadistic unending murder of Palestinian civilians by Israel, supported by US,UK, Canada etc.
2. The attacks from other Jews, meant to silence me (and everyone).
Those 2 things stop, I feel 100% safer.

This letter is 🔥🔥🔥.
To all non-Zionist Jews and allies: keep it up!
The Israel lobby is flailing, a parody of itself. And it was pretty damn absurd before.
The fact that it still has the ruling class captured, you know, sucks.
But we are changing that.

It is so exciting to see unions rising to this moment.
Go

has said nothing, done nothing about

.
That was when someone from Hillel BC plastered
"I❤️Hamas" stickers all over campus - with the logo of a student group standing up for Palestine.
Great to see
@nccm
seeking justice in court.

Today, we helped the University of British Columbia's Social Justice Centre launch its lawsuit against the Hillel BC Society.

Hey
@rjcsmith
and any other preteNDPers smearing the Indigo 11 for protesting Heather Reisman:
Go to 18:00 in video below. Absorb the patient, talmudic legal reasoning from Prof. Audrey Macklin.
And give your elite-serving head a shake.
Political protest is not hate speech.

The greatest crime is always the cover-up, in this case the casual normalization of genocide in Gaza.
Powerful piece from
@NaomiAKlein
about Zone of Interest and "ambient genocide."
New piece on Zone of Interest: the speech, the lies, most of all, Glazer's harrowing warning about how genocide can become "ambient."
This is what feels most contemporary, most of this terrible moment, about Glazer’s staggering film.

For Selina to claim exclusive victimhood for Jews when the Gazans are being starved and slaughtered is outrageous.
Her suffering is all she can see: 30,000 Palestinian dead are invisible to her.
It's a total betrayal of the Jewish value of compassion for the afflicted.

Wow.
@4noura
has been a nonstop voice of clarity & justice for Palestine for 15+ years.
The fact that she is actually finding whole new levels of urgency in this moment tells you all you need to know about the horrors unfolding.
Stunning, terrifying, irrefutable.

“This is not a legitimate war. This is a genocidal campaign of extermination,” says Palestinian human rights attorney
@4noura
as Israel prepares to invade Rafah where millions of displaced people are trapped in Gaza. “This is a genocide. It must be ended. Unequivocally.”

Yesterday I was proud to join protesters on the Sunshine Coast who are standing up for old growth in our province - not one more of our ancient trees should be cut down. Communities need better choices than logging vs unemployment.

Cool climate experts say the
@liberalparty
plan is the only credible one!
(1/3) The Liberals and NDP agree - climate change is the challenge of our time. That's why it is so disappointing to see that
@JagmeetSingh
has failed to present a serious or ambitious climate plan. Millions of Canadians want climate action and we need to listen to them.

Surprise!💥
For months we’ve been working on a very special + secret
