Left: an official Defence Department statement that contains no information about the cause of the fire at CFB Wainwright, or casualty numbers.
Right: A National Post editor baselessly suggests the incident is linked to the organization Palestine Action.
Secrecy > speculation > propaganda.

The reason you are seeing constant framing by liberal cowards and reactionary shills of these protests along the lines of “riots” or “immigrants” is because it has an undeniable organised class character to it - which is antithetical to everything they stand for. If anything - the liberal fascist alliance hating something is often the biggest green flag you can get when it comes to a movement’s potential. Fire rises.

A timely reminder that leaked Israeli studies found that pushing pro-Israel propaganda to Westerners didnt work & instead they advised spending millions blasting the West with racist Islamophobic content demonizing Muslims instead.
I think about that a lot while browsing Twitter

I’ve seen more outrage from Western media and journalists today—for one of their peers being brutally attacked by Israeli settler terrorists—than I have in the last three years as Israel hunted down journalists in Gaza.
Because the journalists in Gaza are Palestinian.

in back to back days, jewish israeli settlers have attacked an american journalist and european diplomats - among scores of palestinians you don't care about - on the same land where israel is somehow able to control and monitor the movement of over 3 million palestinians 🤔

One of the most chilling things you’re ever likely to see.
Exterminating entire bloodlines, blasting to rubble every place that ever meant something to the dead, then remaking the landscape so that not a trace of their existence remains.
Not even the Nazis managed this.

If this were Iran, or another "enemy" country, it would be the top story in every news outlet on the planet.
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.

Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in May 2021 and though her death was the most investigated of any Palestinian in history, no one was held accountable. That impunity led to the killing of nearly 300 journalists in Gaza and settler attacks like the one today.

Israel’s PR problem is caused by Israeli behavior. They can increase their propaganda budget as much as they like and western hasbarists can churn out all the narrative spin in the world, but it still won’t cancel out what happens when you just film Israelis doing Israeli things.
The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat @washingtonpost journalist Heidi Levine nearly to death. Then the IDF shot a Palestinian bystander, and aimed their guns and shoved the paramedics who were trying to treat him. All of this documented.
David Slater retweeted
The world allowed the Israelis to murder like 300 journalists since 2023 with total impunity.
We should not be even a little surprised that their settlers are now beating up mainstream western correspondents with a nod from their officials.
The question is, how much more of this barbarity will be excused and tolerated.
The longer it goes unpunished, the more emboldened they are to ratchet up the violence.

Two years ago today, Hamas' leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in combat in Gaza –– personally fighting on the frontlines against invading Israeli soldiers.
Inexplicably, Israel chose to release its drone video of his last moments. Sitting in an armchair, hooded in a Palestinian kuffiyeh, his right arm blown off, covered in dust from artillery shelling, he resisted until his very last moment –– defiantly throwing a stick at the Israeli drone.
In releasing this video, Israel inadvertently helped solidify Sinwar's already formidable military legacy amongst his people. Viewed by Israelis as an arch villain and terrorist embodiment of evil, the Palestinians rather see him as the modern day successor of their long line of resistance heroes, going way back to Izz al-Din al-Qassam himself, and further, in the past 150 years of resistance to Zionist colonialism in Palestine.
The images of Sinwar's final moments eerily echoed his most iconic photo, below, in which he defiantly sat in a surviving armchair amidst the rubble of his home, destroyed by Israel in their 2021 aggression against the people of Gaza.
The video also blew years of Israeli propaganda out of the water: Sinwar had not been "hiding behind Israeli hostages" or cowering in a hole somewhere, or using his people as human shields.
He had been on the frontlines, personally commanding his troops and attempting to defend the southern city of Rafah.
Read more in @maureenclarem's contemporary report on Sinwar's death for @intifada. Link in reply.

A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times.
92 per cent of those children had not been sentenced.
A third had not even been charged with an offence.
The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state. Its decades-long occupation is illegal.

CIA: “if a technique were devised to induce brain concussion w/o giving either advance warning or causing external physical trauma, the person upon recovery would be unable to recall what had happened to him.” This could be repeated “many times w/o disclosure of its nature.”

Interesting perspective for the “try being a Jew in Ramallah and see what happens to you 😈” crowd: a 65 year old Jewish American journalist being treated with care in a Palestinian hospital after being beaten nearly to death by Israeli Jewish settler terrorists. Makes you think!
David Slater retweeted
To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

“Why doesn’t the US army do more to restrain the settlers in California harassing and killing Indians” asks the concern liberal c 1890. Buddy wait til you hear how all settler colonies manage their perpetual frontiers while maintaining the veneer of liberal, rule of law formalism
Heidi Levine, an American photographer for the Washington Post, was beaten by Israeli settlers in the West Bank today while covering an olive harvest by Palestinians. She’s now in a Ramallah hospital. This happens every day on the West Bank. Every single day.
Palestinians attacked, journalists attacked, Israeli & foreign observers attacked. When is the IDF going to start taking this seriously? And where is the US embassy & Trump administration?
David Slater retweeted
I love how no matter how much the cowardly war criminal @BarackObama panders to the Zionists and treats them with kid gloves they still view him with utter hatred and contempt.
Opinion: When Obama speaks, millions of people listen. If he truly believes that it is “undeniable” that Jews “took land off people," then he is an antisemitism superspreader.
