Israel strikes the Turkish Friendship Hospital in Gaza. The only health facility that specialises in cancer treatment there.

Workers have blocked entrances to INKAS, a Toronto-based company they say supplies Command & Control Units to Israel and are asking Canada to stop sending arms to Israel.

I'm going to breakdown parts of this Atlantic article - how dangerous this and the ideas presented in it are. This piece isn't concerned with truths of colonization & Israel, but with dismissing Palestinian claims of history & crimes by Israel. It's Nakba denialism. 🧵

In case anyone wants to read or share this with their students, I have created a folder with all the articles and book chapters in this thread: t.ly/Akevz I will try to update the content if I receive more recommendations.

Given the circumstances I changed the scheduled readings in my planning history class last week. I gave them these and the students are now asking for more -- any recommendations, esp. focusing on the spatial/territorial aspects of the conflict?

The people of Gaza are being slaughtered. This is genocide. Call your representatives and demand a #CeasefireNOW

Another excruciating story from Gaza: Two doctors, Muhammad Al-Ran, Head of the Surgery Department at the Indonesian Hospital & Dr. Muayyad Al-Ran received news that their house was hit with an airstrike & their family members were killed while they were at work a short while ago

My fellow American Jews. The Holocaust was devastating. I lost family to it. The killing of Israeli civilians was horrific. But right now we are not the victims of genocide. Palestinians are. Israel & the U.S. are perpetuating it in our names. Don’t let them #neverAgainIsNow

This massacre was by a Nazi named Robert Bowers. Please be clear about this at a time when Palestinians and our very existence is being blamed for antisemitism! And call for a ceasefire, thousands are being massacred!

Today, we remember and mourn for the victims lost five years ago in the devastating massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue. We must remain committed to fighting all forms of bigotry, antisemitism, intolerance, racism, and xenophobia.

Joe Biden, blood is on your hands. Ursula von der Leyen, blood is on your hands. Emmanuel Macron, blood is on your hands. Justin Trudeau, blood is on your hands. Rishi Sunak, blood is on your hands. The entire world has the blood of the Palestinians on their hands.

We all told you this was the endgame. You chose to normalize a death cult. You chose to kill us. You did it gleefully. I hope every single soul that helped aid this never gets a moment's rest.

Israeli bombing in #Gaza today destroyed the last remaining telecommunications links between Gaza and the outside world. We have lost all contact with AFSC staff and partners in Gaza. An immediate ceasefire is needed to bring this catastrophe to an end.
