“If the existence of Arabs causes distress, that's called racism.” Cc: @MacLeodLisa @OCDSB
We are concerned @OCDSB @SRB_news seems to be apologizing for the existence of an "Arabic song" after @MacLeodLisa claimed it "distressed all the Jewish students".
This is the song: youtube.com/watch?v=fjuPI6fK…
If the existence of Arabs causes distress, that's called racism.

This is why I do not generally refer to the "war" in Gaza. It is not a war, it's a massacre. Calling it "war" frames it as symmetrical violence, when it is not. This is a classic strategy for denying genocide and mass atrocities.
This is neither legal nor morally defensible.
UN finds "70% of the fatalities it has verified in the Gaza war were women and children, and condemned what it called a systematic violation of the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law." theglobeandmail.com/world/ar…

A pogrom?? Go fuck yourself.
I’m Jewish & live in The Netherlands & am proud to see the complete & total rejection of fascist Nazi Zionism in our streets.
There’s an *actual* Zionist holocaust against Palestine right now & per usual, Zionists are committed to playing the victim
ALT Bari Weiss tweet “there is a pogrom unfolding right now on the streets of amsterdam” Bari is quote tweeting aviva klompas who says “once again Jews cannot walk safely through the streets of Europe”

Just so we understand this correctly, our foreign minister has no issues meeting with the genocidal president of Israel Isaac Herzog (who declared "there are no innocent civilians in Gaza"), but refuses to meet with the UN special rapporteur @FranceskAlbs?
Absolutely shameful!

Can you tell the story of this little baby to the world?!
JUST REPOST
“This little baby is the only survivor after all of his six member family were killed.”

This bears repeating: Western states cannot sustain support for Israel's carnage in Gaza unless they compromise democracy and the rights of their citizens.
Here's Prof. Haim Bresheeth, a child of Holocaust survivors, getting arrested in the UK for speaking against Israel's war.
“It seems that a decision has been made to execute all staff who refused to evacuate the hospital.”
نداء استغاثة قد يكون الأخير
وزارة الصحة الفلسطينية - غزة: قوات الاحتلال تواصل قصف وتدمير مستشفى كمال عدوان بشكل عنيف، طال جميع مرافق المستشفى. هناك إصابات عديدة بين الطواقم الطبية والمرضى، والطواقم الطبية لا تستطيع التحرك بين أقسام المستشفى ولا إنقاذ زملائهم المصابين. ويبدو أن هناك قرارًا تم اتخاذه بإعدام جميع الكوادر التي رفضت إخلاء المستشفى.

On Monday we’ll be revealing what the Canadian government has been desperately trying to hide - that Canadian factories produce millions of dollars of parts for every single F-35 warplane that Israel is using to bomb Gaza and Lebanon right now. Spread the word. #ArmsEmbargoNow
Don’t miss Monday’s webinar breaking down the Canada-Israel arms trade & how to disrupt it. Ft @ZahiaElMasri at @PalestineLabour, @Martin_Lukacs at @TheBreachMedia, Nancy at @palyouthmvmt, @EmmaJackson57 at Palestine Solidarity, & moderator @MayaLillianM

🇵🇸“We’d rather die than be humiliated”
Palestinians chanting in the besieged Northern gaza after they were left without graves to embrace the martyrs, without doctors to treat the wounded, without ambulances to save the last breaths, and without civil defense to recover anyone.

Joint statement by IJV, @WinchevskyCtr, @FacultyJewish
The IHRA handbook poses a danger to Palestinians, Jews and all Canadians who advocate for Palestinian human rights. We call for the handbook’s immediate retraction and urge all Canadians to reject it.

“Doctors Without Borders is outraged by the REPEATED killings of our staff in Gaza”
It is insane that they have to beg Israel to stop KILLING their staff but US weapons keep flowing to attack medical workers.
Doctors without Borders is outraged by the repeated killings of our staff in #Gaza and calls for an immediate halt on attacks of medical personnel, humanitarian workers and civilians.

From the Lemkin Institute on Genocide - @DavidLammy - you know that Jewish Polish Lawyer that DEFINED genocide. Yeah - that institute.
