a reminder that Israel is not a real country. It doesn't have declared borders. It doesn't have a constitution. Its population does not have family roots in the land prior to the modern advent of zionism. They don't have a native culture, native food, dance, or stories. Israel is literally the greatest heist of the 20th century that expelled an ancient society and turned their land into a jewish supremacist military outpost murdering its way through time, and constantly cobbling together new stories about itself to suit the latest political whims, while destroying everything that threatens their latest flimsy narrative. God and the Bible have nothing to do with this abominable entity. They're not "chosen." They're not "a light." They're the biggest and most dangerous charlatans the world has ever known. That was not a democratic election. It was another act in this absurd theatre we're all forced to endure.

This is incredible - no port anywhere should be doing business with a genocidal entity. Palestinian children are being murdered everyday while leaders bankroll weapons manufacturers. cc: @MarkJCarney @PremierScottMoe @fordnation

I can hardly imagine anyone who hasn’t seen this photograph. But it was taken on this day in 2000. I cannot believe the photo is 26 years old now. The boy in the photograph was Fares Odeh. He was just 14 years old. Ten days after this image was captured, Fares went out again to throw stones at Israeli tanks, seeking to avenge the killing of his 17-year-old cousin. An Israeli sniper shot him in the neck, killing him. And there is another chilling detail to this photograph. The photo changed Israeli tank doctrine. In August 2001, The Jerusalem Post quoted an anonymous tank doctrinist saying tank personnel were now instructed to fire upon rock-throwers.

Happy to see @CanadianLabour catch up to what Palestinians and the world has already been demanding.

As the tide turns globally, I see the effort to pin the blame solely on Netanyahu. The strategy is to resurrect Israel's image in the process of toppling him. But genocide is not a one-man show; the whole system is culpable. Zionism must be abolished. There is no going back.

I’ll be looking today to see if media outlets point out that millions of Palestinians, living under Israeli military rule in the occupied West Bank, have no right to vote. Yet, Israeli settlers, living in settlements in the West Bank, are considered Israeli citizens and can vote.

75 more bodies pulled from the rubble. Another mass funeral & it’s hardly a blip in the news. Bodies were in the rubble of buildings in Al-Daraj located in the northeastern part of Gaza city. Thousands are still missing as Israel continues to bulldoze its genocide away.
