What the world is witnessing in Gaza constitutes one of the most courageous feats of journalism in the history of journalism. Being a journalist in Gaza is virtually a death sentence now, yet every time Israel murders a journalist there, another one picks up the microphone of…

If you continue to support Israel, you are a person of the lowest moral character. By your depravity, you have forfeited the right to cast aspersions upon others. You are an embarrassment to the society in which you live. #gaza #genocide #apartheidIsrael

In Montreal, citizens of conscience have assembled at the consulate of Israel’s genocidal regime to demand its compliance with the ICJ’s damning judgement. This is the 16th straight week of protests. We won’t stop until Israel’s genocidal regime is consigned to history’s dustbin.…

Canada's foreign policy is sheer lunacy. Canada just voted at the UN for a ceasefire in Gaza. Israel is thumbing its nose at the UN (including Canada) by continuing to engage in a killing spree in Gaza. Yemeni forces have responded to Israel's slaughter of Palestinians by…

Yesterday, Israel’s Heritage Minister publicly declared that “we must find ways for Gazans that are more painful than death.” This is the same psychopath who was allowed by Netanyahu to remain a government Minister after he said nuking Gaza was “an option”. #Gaza #genocide
