Watching Israel's UN ambassador shred the UN Charter is an important visual reminder that Israel has murdered 191 UN staff in Gaza since October.

Just now at the UNGA, Canada ABSTAINED on a resolution upgrading Palestine’s status at the UN and recommending full membership. The motion gives Palestine additional rights and privileges at the UN, but they still cannot vote. It passed 143-9. Canada should have voted 'Yes'.

Evoking memories of Abu Ghraib, CNN has exposed Israel's torture camp in the Negev where Gaza detainees are beaten, strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers, and their limbs are often amputated due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing. edition.cnn.com/2024/05/10/mid…

We condemn U Calgary and Calgary Police for their violent attack on the student encampment, terrorizing and assaulting peaceful protestors with batons and flashbang explosives. The university should listen to its students and divest from Israel's genocide.

Fifteen years ago, I and thousands of members from my community protested against Canada's complicity in the Tamil genocide of 2009 by blocking the Gardiner Expressway. Today, I join many others in my community demanding freedom for our Palestinian siblings.

From defending Israel’s assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh to supporting Israel’s shut down of Al Jazeera, CIJA is letting us all know that it is an enemy of the free press.

'I think it's appalling that people are not opposed to children dying but they are opposed to me speaking. I think it's appalling and I am not proud to be around those people.'

“A time is coming when the world will start to apologize for what is happening. And when that time comes, we will be asked,…’what did you do with your power?’ And I think tonight is a really good time to ask ourselves what the answer to that question is.”

South-African Canadian author Kagiso Lesego Molope was just asked to leave the Politics and the Pen event for speaking on stage about the death toll in Gaza. She was interrupted by yelling, then after, was escorted out.

This event hands out the award for best political writing.

In Canada over just the last 2 months, we've seen 1 major labour union, 2 student unions and 7 faculty associations vote in support of boycotting and/or divesting from Israel's genocide. The student encampments reflect a broader momentum toward divestment cjpme.org/who_supports_b…

BDS VICTORY: The Faculty Association at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) has voted to 'investigate the university’s academic and financial interests linked to the genocide of Palestinians'! 7th BDS vote from a faculty union in 2 months! BDS movement cjpme.org/who_supports_b…

You can find me on today's CBC Front Burner podcast speaking about BDS and the parallels with the South African anti-apartheid movement. McGill divested from apartheid in 1985, and students are asking for the same standards to be applied today. cbc.ca/listen/cbc-pod…

BDS VICTORY: CUPE BC, representing 100,000+ workers, has voted to 'support and participate in the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions ( #BDS ) campaign to end Israeli apartheid and oppression of the people of Palestine'! BDS movement cjpme.org/who_supports_b…

“With Israeli tanks moving into Rafah, we are now facing the horrific moment that everyone has been warning about for months ... It is now or never. Will Canada take concrete measures to stop this genocide, or will it stand idly by and watch?' Statement: cjpme.org/pr_2024_05_07_…

As Israeli tanks roll into Rafah, we are launching a joint campaign today calling on the Canadian government to impose a full and immediate arms embargo on Israel. Have your organization or union become a signatory: armsembargonow.ca
#ArmsEmbargoNow

In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Canada asked federal granting agencies to end academic partnerships with Russian research institutions & industry. With the total destruction of the education sector in Gaza, we are asking them to apply these same principles to Israel.

This is the kind of statement you make when you are about to be charged by the International Criminal Court

Please consider donating to help my friends Tyler and his wife get her uncle and family out of Gaza. They are trapped in Rafah in unimaginable conditions after Israel bombed their apartment building. 18 of her family members have already been murdered by Israel in this genocide.
