The Palestinians in Israel will not be allowed to vote for long. That is clear. Too many showed up and it was embarrassing. They won’t let it happen again.

The problem starts with news agencies giving people like Jonathan Greenblatt a platform to make profoundly disingenuous statements about Jewish belief and identity, despite their having zero connection to our sacred Torah.

Congratulations to the Canadian Labour Congress (@CanadianLabour) for passing a resolution that calls on workers to refuse to handle weapons and military equipment destined for Israel. This is an important way that workers can prevent Canadian weapons from facilitating genocide. canadianlabour.ca/clc-calls-…

Canada's unions won't back down.
Today, labour leaders announced plans for a national war room to fight Carney's attacks on the right to strike.
The govt wants a stronger economy, but it's picking an unfair fight with the workers who keep it running.

Norman Finkelstein: "There is one party in the State of Israel. It consists of a right wing, a far-right wing, and an ultra-right wing."
He calls Netanyahu a "genocidal murderer" and calls challenger Gadi Eisenkot a "certifiable war criminal" for authoring the Dahiya doctrine.

The sign of the swastika attracted police, ten media outlets and days of coverage. The insults and defacement of a Muslim sign had one media outlet cover it: judyhaiven.substack.com/p/a-… . .

BREAKING: Antisemtiism is now when you don't want to see the Ali G movie 👀
Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G sequel lasted one weekend in theaters, and the Hollywood Reporter is blaming pro-Palestine activists, and discussing "Hamas-affiliated operatives.”
THR detailed a campaign by UK-based NewsCord, whose platform gave users AI-assisted templates to email cinemas; NewsCord says about 55,000 emails went out. THR then pointed to the group's support for Gaza aid flotilla participants, whose leaders the US Treasury designated "Hamas-affiliated operatives." NewsCord, which calls Ali G a form of blackface, accused THR of drawing "conspiratorial links."
Amazon MGM opened the film on just 23 screens, withheld box office figures, and moved it to Prime Video five days later, per World of Reel.

Hi, I'm free.
Beat up but fine. Police stole my phone. Settlers punched me in the face several times, likely broke @AdeleShoko's wrist and gave @the_andrey_x a concussion. They threatened to shoot us with an assault rifle over and over.
Will tell the full story later, but for now, I just want to be clear about what happened. We witnessed two settlers locking a military gate in Umm al-Khair, blocking the only way to more than twenty Palestinian communities: trapping families inside, preventing students from reaching school and workers from their jobs, blocking delivery of food and access to ambulances, etc.
It's a crime that the military has this ability at all--but last night, we discovered that random settler terrorists also have the key. We confronted them and began asking questions on camera, and they nearly murdered us for it. When the police finally arrived, they arrested Andrey and me and charged us with assault.
The gate is still locked.

This is all completely a made up, manipulated, exaggerated attempt to silence support for Palestine and distract from Israel's mass murder of Palestinians.

There are many uniquely bizarre aspects to the US/Israel relationship but the most bizarre is how relfexively pro-Israel Americans will side with that *foreign country* even when they attack, beat, persecute or kill their own fellow Americans.
It's extra surreal, and disgusting, watching politicians who call themselves "America First" -- like Mike Huckabee -- do this.
Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job.

On Monday, it was kids taking the government to court over its climate inaction.
On Wednesday, it was Indigenous leaders gearing up for a fight for their rights.
Today, it's labour leaders establishing a war room to fight Carney's attack on their rights.
A storm is coming.

"...there is a direct line from roughing up the 80-year-old man in Wolfville to evicting Joan Baxter and Jennifer Henderson from the EverWind announcement to vilifying Paul Wozney. It’s all about delegitimizing dissent."
"Add to that list...Sibo Chen..."

The Liberals are now the most anti-union party in Canada
Conservatives and Bloc and a lone Liberal MP joined the NDP in support of @LeahGazan's bill to protect Canadians' right to strike from S. 107.
Sadly the bill was defeated by the rest of the Liberal caucus.

This morning, MP @ElizabethMay, members from @IndJewishVoices , Executive Director, Firaaz of @wearehumaniti, Dr. Aaron Shafer from Trent University, and Dr. Baher Abdulhai, board member at PSSAR, held a press conference.
"Despite Mr Yaffa’s appeal– not one politician– not the city councillor, not the MLA for that constituency, nor has the city’s mayor spoken up to denounce the clear case of Islamophobia. Mr Yaffa asked people of privilege to speak up – and not one did."

So while Ukraine asks for sympathy and is happy to take everyone's money for their economy and military, they vote AGAINST ending the illegal blockade on Cuba? Make it make sense
