Being in my neighbourhood has become triggering for my family. Wherever we go we see signs with the face of the incumbent & @liberal_party candidate @sophiechatel1, who refuses to condemn 🇮🇱’s genocide & the mass murder of my wife’s family in Gaza. A 🧵

The fear mongering from wealthy stakeholders about shrinking the capital gains loophole is relentless. But repetition never outweighs the truth. Tell Ottawa you’re not buying it: bit.ly/C4TFcg

BREAKING: Prime Minister of Australia has been referred to the International Criminal Court as an accessory to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Anthony Albanese becomes the first Western leader referred to the ICC over Gaza genocide accusations.
A historic maneuver that is going to reverberate throughout Western capitals.

This is absolutely absurd.
In classic @AHousefather fashion, he leaves out essential details in order to cause an uproar.
The event that folks are protesting is an event where a real estate firm is trying to sell homes from *ILLEGAL* Israeli settlements to Canadians.

Right now, IDF soldiers are speaking at Montreal’s Holocaust museum, promoting Israel’s agenda as it continues to commit genocide against Palestinians.
How shameful to welcome perpetrators and enablers of ethnic cleansing into a space honouring victims of genocide.

Horrific reports confirmed that, over the last few days only, at least 10 children died of malnutrition in #Gaza
These deaths are man-made, predictable and entirely preventable.
#Gaza has become hell on earth. When will the world say "enough"?
At least ten children have reportedly died because of dehydration and malnutrition in Kamal Adwan Hospital in the Northern Gaza Strip in recent days.

NEW: The Canadian military plans to buy $43 million of Israeli missiles used in Israel's past and present bombing campaigns on Gaza.
‘This is a direct endorsement and a direct financial support to the Israeli military’s devastation and carnage in Gaza.’

As of today's ICJ finding, Canada is selling arms and providing diplomatic cover to a country that is being tried for genocide.
We need an arms embargo now. For starters.
Here's my statement from the press conference hosted by @ForeignPoli_C and @AdvocatesJust today.

Canada’s response to the ICJ ruling is a colossal disgrace. Whether naïve or hopeful, I truly expected more following repeated assertions of “unwavering” support for int’l law and for the Court specifically. 1/4 canada.ca/en/global-affairs/…

The ICJ has found that many of Israel’s actions could plausibly constitute acts of genocide. Canada must do everything in its power to compel enforcement of the ICJ’s orders and protect Palestinians from genocide, starting with an arms embargo on Israel. cjpme.org/pr_2024_01_26_icj_…
Toby Sanger retweeted
The ICJ ruling is clear. Israel must act to protect Palestinians in Gaza, deliver aid and punish incitement to genocide.
Canada must end its complicity. Stop the arms trade now. Demand a Ceasefire. Work towards a political and diplomatic just peace.

Gazans are being pounded right now and the difference in how Canada is treating them versus Ukrainians makes it very clear that these decisions are all driven by white supremacy.

Well, the world will certainly notice that the West cares more about shipping lanes than living breathing human beings in Gaza.
So sad Ed-politician, socialist, intellectual & gentleman w/o parallel-has died.
Thx to @andrew_ajackson I was fortunate to share some lunches w/ him recently. He was always incredibly sharp, informed, inquisitive, thoughtful & compassionate.
Deepest condolences to his family.

Support South Africa's case charging Israel with genocide against Palestinians at the World Court. Urge the Biden administration to stop undermining the international community’s attempts to hold the Israeli government accountable for its mass atrocities. jvp.org/wecharge
