For a quick refresher on why oversight of Canadian mining companies abroad is so essential, see @Songstress28 series on the impact of Canadian mining companies in Ecuador. It’s powerful, infuriating reading. ricochet.media/series/canadi…

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

This piece doesn't include a single reference to an Indigenous chief, other than the caption of this header photo, which doesn't name him. It's meant to conflate formal leadership with people like Karen Restoule, "director of Indigenous affairs at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute"

📍RIGHT NOW: Activists in Toronto unfurl a banner urging @FIFAcom to kick Israel out. Banner also points to the abduction of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Palestinian football player Natalie Abu Dayyeh.

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them. This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.

We're not talking about Dr Hussam Abu-Safiya enough. It's heartbreaking to see him this way. Everyone must keep pushing for his immediate release. The only issue Dr Hussam has is his citizenship. If he were of a Western origin, it'd be the story every single day.
Dr. Hussam finally appears like this while his captors, aka murderers of Children, get to murder more freely.

Good old lying ass @TorontoPolice up to their regular tricks Literally can not speak truthfully in that shop
This press release is a masterclass in misdirection. Of the six arrests, the only person charged for an act against a civilian was a Walk with Israel participant alleged to have assaulted a counter-protester. But it's so unclear that at least one outlet reported the opposite 🧵

💢 Lebanese turtle conservationist attacked in Israeli airstrike on her home Mona Khalil, a pioneering Lebanese marine turtle conservationist who founded the Orange House Project on Mansouri Beach in southern Lebanon, was wounded in an Israeli airstrike on her home Thursday. Khalil underwent surgery for severe injuries, including a serious abdominal wound, before her condition stabilized Friday, according to Lebanese media and the NGO Green Southerners. “For more than two decades, her efforts helped transform this relatively small stretch of coastline into one of the most important sea turtle nesting sites on the eastern Mediterranean coast,” the NGO told the New Arab. More from Cradle Media below ⬇️

In most countries, politicians appeal to voters by talking about bringing down inflation, expanding health care & improving education. In Israel, politicians appeal to voters by talking about how genocidal they are. Most genocidal country in the world. #Israel

Israel is creating conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of the people of South Lebanon.
Footage shows the Israeli army blowing up an entire residential complex in a village in southern Lebanon, as part of their effort to eliminate any kind of civilian presence in the region.

It is unacceptable that people can be unlawfully kidnapped, whether at sea or on land, simply for trying to reach Gaza to deliver aid to a deliberately starved and besieged people. A people besieged by the same occupation force that has and continues to obliterate Gaza raining terror and bombs and massacring entire families and communities. It is unacceptable that solidarity expressed as a humanitarian gesture to relieve and reach the people of Gaza, locked up in the world’s largest open air prison as the israeli war machine continues to ravish their lives, is criminalised. People of all walks of life, throughout the globe, have started a hunger strike in solidarity with the 10 activists kidnapped and held as political hostages for trying to reach the people of Gaza to deliver aid, ambulances and solidarity in a world that only wants to exterminate them. The crimes committed in Gaza are unacceptable. The criminalization of solidarity of those that refuse to watch and comply is unacceptable. For our collective liberation, we will not stop. Support the hunger strikers. Demand their governments to more to ensure their release. The ten political hostages come from the following countries: Argentina Italy Poland Portugal Spain Tunisia (resident of Canada) United States Uruguay Visit gsumud.link/FreeThe10 to send an email asking your foreign ministry to act.

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous. Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream. Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering. Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs. At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas. This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity. What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.
