I don’t know what to say anymore. As doctors, we can’t stop a genocide and we can’t end a famine. We provided a diagnosis - genocide. We provided a prescription to end the genocide - for Canada to end its complicity and direct involvement in Israel’s crimes now.

Yesterday in Toronto, activists protested FIFA’s inaction by still not sanctioning Israel. And fans and supporters of team Bosnia and Herzegovina chanting in solidarity with Palestine. Beautiful sights to see.

Yesterday in the UK, a judge ruled against four direct action activists who damaged Israeli military assets owned by Elbit Systems in 2024. They are facing years of jail time and were sentenced for an “act of terrorism”, for attempting to slow down the weapons production and movement from the UK to Israel where these weapons and technology are used in daily acts of terrorism and genocidal violence against Palestinians in Gaza. We live in a time where the people of conscience who try to stop genocide are labeled as terrorists and the war profiteers and politicians who make the laws to defend them enjoy full impunity.

Judge Jeremy Johnson has established a new precedent... "Any protest action that is now determined as trying to "change government policy" can have this applied. So today it's Palestine Action, but next it'll be immigration protests, farmers protests, NHS, tax etc etc."
You can vehemently disagree with Palestine Action activists goals, whilst simultaneously be horrified a judge can decide AFTER a conviction if it was terrorism related amd double a sentence. Being able to class an offense as terrorism AFTER conviction without charging them with terrorism should bother everyone. Any protest action that is now determined as trying to "change government policy" can have this applied. So today it's Palestine Action, but next it'll be immigration protests, farmers protests, NHS, tax etc etc.

Destroying private 'israeli' weapons used in a genocide gets you a longer sentence than child grooming in occupied Britain. For the first time, activists are sentenced as 'terrorists' for property damage. This will go down as one of the most unjust cases in British history.
🚨BREAKING -- The Palestine Action defendants have been sentenced for a combined total of more than 25 years. Charlotte Head - 6 years Leona Kamio - 6 years Fatema Zainab - 5 years and 8 months Samuel Corner - 8 years and 8 months

It is so powerful to watch tens of thousands of Bosnians – whose people survived genocide – marching the streets of Toronto, supporting Palestinians – who are currently fighting to survive genocide. #EndTheGenocide #FreePalestine

I'm so glad this beautiful march was massively bigger than the recent Toronto walk in solidarity with genocidal apartheid Israel.
Bosnia fans in Toronto. Wow 😮

On Monday this week, I was so grateful to have spent the day with folks in healthcare, and across various sectors, to better define the problem and impacts of anti-Palestinian racism and the strategies moving forward to build power to change and dismantle systems that reproduce oppression and racism. With @CanArabLaw. ❤️✊

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Israeli forces have killed at least 421 football players in Gaza since Oct. 2023. As the World Cup begins, we are sharing our 2018 visual on Palestinian footballers affected by Israeli violence. Fans call on FIFA to sanction the Israeli Football Association. #Palestine #FIFA

I keep thinking about this picture of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya from yesterday during a court hearing. He has remained in Israeli custody since this abduction from Gaza in December 2024. He stayed back to care for his patients and community as a paediatrician and as the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. And for this, Israel continues to punish and hold him in their torture camps.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s message to the court today as relayed by his attorney: “I am a pediatrician. I provide medical care to patients, the injured, and vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip. I have carried out my work in accordance with international law and humanitarian standards. My detention is unjust and arbitrary.”
