The Houthis are blocking ships in the Red Sea until needed food and medicine are allowed into Gaza. Canada claims to care about getting aid to Gaza, but hasn’t done anything to ensure that - and will now contribute to this military operation against the Houthis.

Days after demanding that Israeli settler extremists be held to account, the Trudeau govt yesterday voted at the UN against Palestinian sovereignty in Occupied Territories. 🇨🇦 voted with Israel, the US, and 3 US-affiliated microstates. All EU countries, UK, NZ voted against.

Palestine Action has forced the permanent closure of two Israeli arms sites and the cancellation of £280 million worth of contracts with the British Ministry of Defence for Israel's largest arms firm. Today, members were found not guilty on 12 counts.

An incredible turnout at today's Palestine rally at Polo Park: at least 100 people on each side of Portage with flags, signs, keffiyehs. Lots of supportive honks and waves. Huge thanks to the dedicated work of organizers making these actions happen week after week. 🇵🇸

Time is running out. Many children already face severe acute malnutrition in Gaza. As the threat of famine intensifies, hundreds of thousands more young children could soon be severely malnourished, with some at risk of death. We cannot allow that to happen.

🚨Israel killed 374 Gazan doctors, dentists & nurses (as if destroying hospitals wasn't enough). Becoming a doctor in Gaza is usually the most costly, difficult & time-consuming pursuit. Only the smartest & top scoring students are accepted into Gaza's medical facilities.

Children in Gaza are caught in a nightmare that worsens with every passing day. The world cannot stand by and watch. The violence and the suffering of children must stop. More here: unicef.org/press-releases…

CBC is well aware it uses sanitized language to describe Israel's killing of Gazans. They actually believe it's justified because Israel kills people "remotely" instead of face-to-face. We have an email from a CBC manager saying so: The Breach breachmedia.ca/cbc-palestinia…

Our dehumanization is baked into the media apparatus of Western world. This is what the people of Gaza are up against, unless we stop it.

As #ICJ is happening, my campus: Arij Al Khafagi will be appealing her suspension for criticizing Israel during a genocide. A vigil will be held for Afolabi Opaso, Nigerian student fatally shot by police a walk from campus. Fight against Anti-Black/Palestinian racism!
