Soyons clairs : je n'ai jamais dit que les personnes élues à l'Assemblée nationale étaient racistes. Je regrette que des collègues l'aient interprété ainsi.
Soulignons que j’ai moi-même dénoncé les pratiques des enseignantes et enseignants mis en cause à l’école Bedford et je maintiens que cette situation choquante et inacceptable doit être corrigée, comme Québec solidaire le soutient depuis le début.
Ce que j'ai exprimé, c'est mon inquiétude face aux discours quotidiens qui pointent du doigt les personnes immigrantes comme la source d’une énorme partie des problèmes au Québec. C'était le sens de mon propos.

Gaza: Escalating violence & closed access points have prevented the delivery of vital food aid to the north since 1 October.
@WFP is unsure how long existing food supplies will last.
Urgent secure access is needed to deliver life-saving assistance.

#Gaza Alert!
495,000 people (22 percent of the #Gaza Strip population) face catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 5).
Households experience an extreme lack of food, starvation, and exhaustion of coping capacities.

Deeply concerned by heavy-calibre shelling that damaged our #Gaza office, which is surrounded by hundreds of displaced civilians.
Parties to the conflict have the obligation under #IHL to take all precautions to avoid harming civilians incl. humanitarian staff and facilities.
The ICRC office – which is surrounded by hundreds of displaced civilians living in tents – was damaged by nearby shelling in Gaza.
Firing so dangerously close to humanitarian structures puts the lives of civilians and humanitarians at risk.
ALT Heavy-calibre projectiles landed within metres of the office and residences of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Friday afternoon.. The strike damaged the structure of the ICRC office, which is surrounded by hundreds of displaced civilians living in tents, including many of our Palestinian colleagues. This incident caused a mass casualty influx at the nearby Red Cross Field Hospital, with the hospital receiving 22 killed and 45 injured, with reports of additional casualties. Firing so dangerously close to humanitarian structures, of whose locations the parties to the conflict are aware and which are clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem, puts the lives of civilians and Red Cross staff at risk.This grave security incident is one of several in recent days; previously stray bullets have reached ICRC structures. We decry these incidents that put the lives of humanitarians and civilians at risk.

Egypt will join South Africa's genocide case against Israel before the International Court of Justice to try to halt Israel's invasion of Rafah, the enormous threat to civilian life, and the dramatic obstruction of humanitarian aid that it has caused. english.ahram.org.eg/NewsCon…

🔴Delivering lifesaving supplies into Gaza is nearly impossible amidst Israeli authorities' blockades, delays and restrictions on humanitarian aid and essential medical supplies.
Here's an inside look at the process of delivering lifesaving aid to Gaza👇

Israeli authorities block, delay, and restrict the entry of humanitarian aid and essential medical supplies into #Gaza. As they hold full control over entry and exit points into Gaza, we are struggling to bring in vital equipment including generators, oxygen concentrators and ultrasound scanners...

C’est jour de distribution d’aide alimentaire à la Bouchée généreuse, à Québec. En passant devant par hasard, j’ai été soufflé par l’affluence. Je n’ose pas affirmer que c’est du « jamais vu », mais je n’ai jamais aperçu tant de monde à l’ouverture des portes… 🫣😑 – at Québec, Canada
