Only a deep dehumanization of Palestinians that has gone on for decades to justify Israeli violence can explain the world’s silence after 14 months of photos like this.
A Palestinian child carries his brother who was injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the municipality building in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip.

"Israeli soldiers routinely executed Palestinian civilians simply bcoz they entered... a “no-go zone.” The testimonies paint a picture of a landscape littered with civilian corpses.. left to rot or be eaten by stray animals" Mass slaughter. 9 months. https://t.co/lKSqe7HGpM

we may never fully grasp the extent of horror and trauma Israel has inflicted on our children. children who no longer speak, whose hair turns white overnight, whose hair falls out, who lose their memory, who die of heart attacks as young as 4 and 5 years....
A Palestinian boy has been found two hours ago — he does not speak: if you know him, he’s in Al-Nasr Model School in the Italian Junction in Gaza

At the very least the ICC warrants confirm those of us protesting and especially our student encampments were right all along and no university administration should dare muffle their voices ever again.

The ICC has been under constant threat from the most powerful corners of the globe and decided it had to do this anyway. Just imagine how overwhelmingly the evidence must be for them to do that.

Thank you @visualizingpal for visualizing ACLA's anti-Palestinian racism framework. Canada has made the commitment to recognize APR. Now is the time to make it official @JustinTrudeau @KamalKheraLib
As Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide rages on, anti-Palestinian racism silences, excludes, erases, stereotypes, dehumanizes, or defames Palestinians, those who are perceived as Palestinian, or anyone who expresses support for Palestinian freedom. View our latest👇

To every student and young person who stood up on university campuses against what are now officially deemed war crimes: you are heroes and your persecutors are trash.

In Gaza, mothers are condemned to watching helplessly as their children are slaughtered by the IOF. There is nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide. This is a death camp and we’re all watching the extermination live-streamed.
Today a mother was holding her dead child Hamza who was killed by Israel in an airstrike that targeted Khan Yonis, she said: “Who will call me mum? There’s no one left to call me mum, they’re all gone!”

What's troubling about it? This is a prominent Jewish person sharing his lived experience and that of many others too afraid to speak out. This tweet is exhibit "A" highlighting the very problem the article is addressing which is the weaponization of antisemitism to gaslight and
This is a deeply troubling message to see #Canada's Special Representative for Combatting Islamophobia choose to amplify — one featuring antisemitic tropes of Jewish power & denying the lived experience of Jews, who, according to many including the Prime Minister, are facing

Zionist propaganda and anti-Palestinian racism such as this is unconscionable and violent, as well as a dishonest way to teach antisemitism. We ask that others demand future sessions with these speakers are cancelled, with truthful education provided instead.

On September 9th, the University of Alberta’s @UAlberta_FoMD held a session “on antisemitism” which was, in reality, a display of anti-Palestinian racism. In support of @HA4Palestine, IJVE signed on to this joint letter with @JewishYEG as a coalition of Jews in protest:

The sheer depravity of someone doxing an amazing UofT student for singing at Shabbat. Echoing my colleague (@wtfis2bdone), it is a badge of honor for all of us to stand alongside students like Jonathan. I couldn't more prouder of them.

Continued use and installation of these products in Edmonton is absolutely hurting Palestinians on the ground. It expedites the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank as these corrupt companies profit from water apartheid. @EPCOR #YEG
