BREAKING: Last night, at the Manitoba Legislative Building, Minister Nellie Kennedy announced that the province has become the first in Canada to officially recognize anti-Palestinian racism as a distinct form of discrimination!
We welcome this historic step, secured through years of advocacy by Palestinians and their supporters including CPAM, @nccm, @CanArabLaw, and IJV.
IJV urges all provinces and the federal government to follow suit.

A genocidal racist is now lecturing Canadian Parliamentarians on racism.
This is the depth to which Canada’s political elite has sunk.

Green Party recognises Zionism as a form of racism and backs single Palestinian state

I just finished watching Naza in Toronto. Hannah Arendt’s banality of evil came to life. We all saw the dogs eating Palestinian corpses in Gaza on our phones but it was another thing to hear from the sadists who said they enjoyed watching the dogs. Longer review to come.

Recorded months ago, this was the first time I spoke publicly about the anti-Palestinian racism I experienced at Sinai Health in Toronto, when I started advocating against the genocide in Palestine.
The hospital hired a lawfirm that sponsors the Walk for Israel to oversee the process.
What we go through is nothing compared to what our colleagues in Palestine are enduring, but the widespread silencing by our institutions is a tool that helps enable the ongoing genocide and we must collectively push back against it.
Our colleagues in Palestine are still fighting for the health and liberation of their people, and we have a duty to stand in solidarity, take material actions, and keep throwing stones into the gears of genocide – until Palestine is Free.
Thank you for the conversation, Everyday Orientalism (whose Twitter account was suspended...).

Gaza’s Greek Orthodox Church held funeral services today for Maysa Daoud and her daughter, Mary, who were killed while sleeping when an Israeli strike hit their apartment in western Gaza City, according to Gaza’s Civil Defense.
Civil Defence said five civilians, including three women and a child, were killed in the strike, and shared footage of its crews joining members of Gaza’s Christian community at the funeral for the victims.

🚨Israel murdered this mother and her daughter yesterday in Gaza. They attended Holy Family Catholic Church. They bombed their apartment building killing them and critically injuring their family members. This is a Holocaust of our time, and the world needs to do something to stop this!

Israel did not give polio vaccinations to Palestinians in Gaza. This is a lie.
UNWRA, WHO, and UNICEF gave polio vaccinations Gaza. Israel did not.
Israel BLOCKED THE ENTRY OF SOAP, which caused the polio outbreak.

This week, the @globeandmail published an editorial that recklessly linked the antisemitic attack in Belleville to anti-Zionism, without any evidence.
This is not only factually unfounded, but it also represents a dangerous journalistic error. It is increasingly clear the shooter was motivated by far-right extremism, which needs to be named and confronted.
We filed a formal complaint with the editors urging a correction and the removal of these unsubstantiated claims.
Despite sources who knew former-CAF Belleville shooter Sean Ward alleging that he was an antisemitic Covid conspiracy theorist—without any mention of his views on Palestine or Israel—the @globeandmail published an editorial blaming anti-Zionism.

For the first time, the Canadian government has explicitly defined anti-Zionism as a form of antisemitism. This is an appalling capitulation to pro-Israel actors like CIJA and anti-Palestinian racism.
Zionism forms the ideological backbone of Israel's state-sanctioned violence against Palestinians. Our government quietly redefining it as a form of bigoted hate against Jews as a group is both offensive and inaccurate, and it endangers all Canadians' right to freedom of expression.
We call for an immediate retraction, acknowledgement of the incredible harm this mischaracterization does to Palestinian and Jewish communities, and a recognition of anti-Zionism as a legitimate political viewpoint grounded in social justice.

Bari Weiss murdered Refaat Alareer by falsely painting him as a terrorist with her platforms.
The IDF acted on her words, killing the poet professor and his entire family.

In November 2023, @IDF forced all the medical staff out of Al-Nasr Hospital with 30 minutes warning. The assured the staff they would take care of the babies in the pediatric ICU.
The babies were later found dead, and decomposing in their hospital beds and incubators – still attached to their medical equipment. They were left to die in the most barbaric conditions by the Israeli military.
One example of millions.
All proudly in plain sight.
Biden administration officials now claim they didn't know if warcrimes were being comitted. They are amongst the most grotesque of war criminals responsible for genocide and must be held accountable. @ABlinken

"The scene inside the Al-Nasr hospital ICU ward is chilling. The tiny bodies of babies, several still attached to wires and tubes that were meant to keep them alive, decomposing in their hospital beds. Milk bottles and spare diapers still next to them on the sheets." @CNN, December, 2023.
Biden advisor Jon Finer: We should've used arms transfers as leverage but unfortunately our lawyers couldn't determine if Israel was doing war crimes
@PeterBeinart: But didn't the Biden admin pressure lawyers not to make any determination?
Finer: Well *I* never pressured anyone

Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it.
So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages.
Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to."
Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.

Really? In the entire world? What an absurd statement.
A real mayor doesn't fearmonger to win - they bring people together. What Bradford is continuing to do is to divide Jews and their neighbours telling us that those who protest for peace is the enemy.

The Legal Centre for Palestine is aware that the Board of Directors of the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA) is refusing to implement a Boycott and Divestment resolution approved by a clear majority of students at WUSA's Annual Members' Meeting earlier this year.
This incident follows a longstanding pattern of repression in Canadian higher education institutions which has escalated to new heights since 2023. Just earlier this year, McGill University attacked the McGill Law Student Association for passing a referendum to implement amendments to its bylaws affirming an academic boycott of Israeli institutions, calling the referendum 'antisemitic' and supporting legal action to block the amendments.
This unprecedented wave of interference in student democratic participation, based in anti–Palestinian racism, must end. Students must have a say in the policies of the institutions where they study, engage in free exchange of ideas, and pay tuition.
The decision of the WUSA Board of Directors will be examined.

How is the representative of an apartheid state — found to have committed genocide by an independent UN commission of inquiry and by the world’s leading human rights orgs — being allowed to remain in Canada? He’s now brazenly promoting hate toward Palestinian Canadians. Expel him
