Israel responds to Iran's retaliatory strikes by cutting off all aid to Gaza. This is a state which routinely collectively punishes civilians as a tactic of war. This is monstrous, and it is also a grave war crime.
🚨BREAKING: Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza and halted the entry of humanitarian aid following Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, cutting off supplies to roughly 2 million Palestinians in the territory. Israel has imposed similar blanket closures during previous periods of regional escalation, including immediately after the outbreak of war in late February, collectively punishing Gaza’s civilian population.

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Yes, the Ben-Gvir video is disgraceful. But that's not the issue. The (obvious) issue is that if that's how nonviolent European protesters are treated in public, any person with a brain can imagine how Palestinians are treated behind closed doors. *That* is the real scandal.

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia. Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

Around 1,500 patients in Gaza have died while waiting for permission to travel abroad for medical treatment, according to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Behind every number is a patient whose chance for survival depended on timely access to medical care.

If openly displaying Palestinian symbols or identity is deemed unacceptable, imagine how unsafe it feels to simply be Palestinian. This should upset all of us. The failure of leadership across Canada’s medical community and academic medicine to confront and stop anti-Palestinian racism is unacceptable.
I tried to attend the @OntariosDoctors annual general meeting tonight in Ottawa, and was removed from the room by members of their executive team Sandy Zidaric and Adam Farber because I wore my watermelon pin that I’ve worn countless times without issue in many spaces including on parliament hill. They cited the concern that the watermelon pin as a political symbol could possibly make other physician colleagues in the room “uncomfortable” or “unsafe”. All the while genocide continues in Palestine. When I asked if their policy of what could not be worn on the bodies of their members in their meetings have applied to any other political symbols or attire, they could not give me other examples. They asked me to remove the watermelon pin or leave the room, or sit in another room by myself to tune into the meeting virtually. I declined and left. I explained to them this is an incredibly disappointing and discriminatory policy for their meetings, and I hope it is revised. I know medical colleagues including medical learners who have been kicked out of clinic because they wore a watermelon pin. These are examples of anti-Palestinian racism. As a physician, I stand in solidarity with my Palestinian medical colleagues who have been killed by the Israeli military and continue to be subjected to genocidal violence. Over 1,700 Palestinian healthcare workers have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. Many Palestinian healthcare workers remain in Israeli captivity and are being tortured by the Israeli military, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a paediatrician who stayed to care for his patients in the hospital he was the medical director of. Shame on @OntariosDoctors for not only censoring what is allowed to be displayed on the bodies of their members, and even more so to be painfully silent in the face of attacks on our medical and healthcare worker colleagues in Palestine. Don’t look away from the genocide in Gaza. These acts of discrimination are forms of racism, and racism is a distraction from the real issue of ending Canadian complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

When medical care is attacked during conflict, communities are often deprived of lifesaving care. 10 years ago, states committed to protecting medical care. Today, attacks continue. States must respect their obligations under Resolution 2286: msf.org/attacks-healthcare-m…

Israel can seize boats in international waters, a thousand kilometers away, and detain civilians with barely a whisper from Western media.
Israeli forces have intercepted around a dozen Gaza-bound aid boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near the Greek island of Crete, more than 1,000km from Israel. Organisers call it an illegal attack on civilians in international waters.

In all of Toronto maybe 20 of these coffee shops/small restaurants/convenience stores grandfathered into residential corners. Always beloved. Of course illegal across nearly all of N America. Put small commerce in the neighborhoods, in the parks, and let families walk. Progress!

And what is called when a “law” applies to one group of people based on religious/ethnic identity and not another? Is there a word for that kind of system?
Breaking News: Israel passed a law that allows for the hanging of Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks. Critics say it likely won't be applied to Jewish extremists convicted of similar crimes. nyti.ms/4m8yeQI

Absolutely horrific depravity.
BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law. The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials.

This is a very inappropriate response to a protestor advocating for her community suffering from mercury poisoning. It gets laughs from all levels of government. We aren’t serious about reconciliation and Indigenous rights in Canada. #ShutDownDrydenMill
