@DNforHR Absolutely disgusting

Update from North Darfur 🔴 A New Crime in El Fasher – North Darfur The Rapid Support Forces #RSF committed a crime of killing against the citizen Ahmed Gandoul, from the Berti tribe, and the owner of a restaurant in the city of El Fasher. Due to the war, he was forced to move his restaurant from the main market to #Nyafasha market, where he was targeted and killed on the basis of identity. This crime constitutes a blatant violation of human values, customs, and international laws. #Darfur #ElFasher #WarCrimes #Justice.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me: “Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

The people in my home country of Lebanon desperately need our help. I've partnered with Islamic Relief to provide direct assistance to Lebanese people during this crisis, and I ask you to please join me by making a donation here - let's make a difference together: fundraise.islamicreliefcanada.org/campaign/moham… #attr=9509" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fundraise.islamicreliefcanada.org/campaign/moham…

@sandylocks @KamalaHarris @essencefest You deserve no respect

The shaming & targeting of Black women is a well-rehearsed tactic driving a reactionary, anti-democratic agenda. Sharing a few words w/@KamalaHarris @essencefest was not only an honor, but an encouragement to continue to do the work that Black women have done for decades.

@lowkey_idealist @larryislegend Sudan literally means "land of the Blacks". And remember...Kemet? Guess what that means?

@larryislegend Facts. No one really called people Black before America. There is a reason why Black Americans identify as Black while other people don’t. They just think they can copy and steal everything we do and we fight back it’s American exceptionalism.

The word “black” was created to identify ourselves in this country. Just like many other things we’ve created, it has been hijacked by other cultures and ethnicities. But “BLACK” is specific to black Americans who’s ancestors are former slaves.

BMI wants to hear from Somali health professionals and members of the Somali community in the GTA. See below for details!! 👇🏿👇🏿

@MarcMillerVM Not obscene at all. It's actually likely this is how u want to assist Zionists. You've displayed a horrible lack of concern for Palestinian life, revealed deep pro-Israel bias and revealed lack of integrity as Minister responsible for refugees. Ur full of it.

It’s obscene that I’d have to say this but at no time have I discussed with any member of the Israeli government the so called “voluntary transfer” of Gazans out of Gaza. Anyone pretending otherwise is full of it.

@RitchieTorres You are a manchurian candidate. Complete mouthpiece of your overlords...Your ancestors wildest nightmare and an embarrassment to Black freedom fighters.

A question for those calling for a ceasefire with Hamas. Would you have called for a ceasefire with Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, imperial Japan, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda under Osama Bin Laden? Are you typically in favor of keeping genocidal regimes in power? Or only when the target is the Jewish State?

As long as I have known @yipengGe, he has been committed to equity, anti-racism and justice. He has been unjustly suspended from residency, without due process, for supporting Palestinian human rights. Please tell @OttawaU this is not OK. change.org/p/reinstate-dr…

@davidfrum U can definitely believe the IDF and CIA.

First videos from inside Shifa hospital

@KevinVuongMP Kevin thinks this started on Oct 7. This is 6th time Israel invaded Gaza in recent history. They've killed 1000s of kids, detain 4500 Palestinians,decimate hospitals & made open air prison. Hamas is reflection of Israel's violence. But u cant condemn Israel.

You clearly don't know Vietnamese history and the infamous #TetOffensive, when the lunar new year ceasefire was violated and North Viet & communist Viet Cong soldiers committed unspeakable atrocities, like Hamas, on innocent civilians, many being women & children. Or do you celebrate the Tet Offensive like Hamas sympathizers celebrate the Oct. 7 massacre?

@CIJAinfo @JustinTrudeau He'd actually have way more support if he stopped allowing himself to be bullied by you. Afterall, u want @PierrePoilievre to win next election, right? He is unequivocally pro-israeli, no? JT would be wise to stand up against ur bully tactics.

The blood of dead babies - Israeli & Palestinian - is on #Hamas. Rhetoric like PM @JustinTrudeau's today enables Hamas to continue to cynically & criminally use the Palestinian civilian population as human shields to advance its genocidal goal. And, while surely not his intent, such assertions also fuel #Antisemitism at home here in #Canada. Unless #Israel destroys Hamas, Hamas will continue to destroy the hopes of Palestinians & Israelis alike to pursue a future of peace. If Canada wants to contribute to the goal of sustainable peace, it will stand firmly with Israel as it toils to remove the murderous Hamas regime from Gaza. Anything less condemns the region to perpetual suffering for all. Prime Minister - there can be no half measures in the struggle to rid the region of Hamas, as painful as that may be & despite Israel’s extensive measures to minimize civilian casualties that go beyond those required by international law. #cdnpoli

@KevinVuongMP Kevin, you've gone full hack eh?lol At first u thought kissing Israel's ring might get u back into the caucus & ppl would forget why u were kicked out to begin with. Keep going -- im sure AIPAC and CIJA are so proud of you! Good boy!

You must have me confused with another. My riding is one of the most diverse in the country with no singular ethnic community majority. While I’m here, let me educate you: “model minority” is a largely American concept.

@RitchieTorres U are an embarrassment to your ancestors

Not everyone calling for a ceasefire wants Israel to cease to exist. But everyone who wants Israel to cease to exist is calling for a ceasefire. Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic Republic of Iran are all calling for a ceasefire.

@kinsellawarren It's amazing how u intentionally conflate anti-zionism with antisemitism. Perhaps u should go to an anti-genocide rally and see for yourself that jews are also at the forefront of opposing the genocidal and theocratic lunacy of the Israeli regime.

Because Jews have always been an ally to every other minority seeking equality - women, gays, people of color. They're resolutely progressive. At the historic moment when Jews desperately need allies, those they helped have largely abandoned them. And it's a disgrace.

@VivianBercovici @JustinTrudeau Wow, now Trudeau is an antisemite?! Anyone that doesn't support the actions of the genocidal Israeli regime is antisemitic? Yikes. Stop trying to bully everyone with that rhetoric.

PM @JustinTrudeau is and always has been an antisemite. He refers to "protesters" in 🇨🇦 calling for the annihilation of 🇮🇱 and murder of Jews "peaceful." He emboldens #HamasISIS and their savage supporters. 🇨🇦 Jews are terrorized. Do not dignify this disgrace of a man with any "conversations". Enough.

@marty_morantz @JustinTrudeau That is how war criminals and religious maniacs sound

This is how a real leader sounds @JustinTrudeau

@KevinVuongMP The final act of colonialists is to make themselves victims & to question ethics of the colonized. Colonialists seek to wrest the moral high ground from those it seeks to disposses -- a slight of hand that distorts truth in hopes of valorizing its depravity.

You don’t have to be an expert in international humanitarian law or the Law of Armed Conflict to know #Hamas’ use of hospitals, schools & mosques as #HumanShields is illegal and a #WarCrime. #LOAC

I think it's important to contextualize this as an aspirational goal and not an explicit call to crush their entire existence.
