Navroz Mubarak. To an end to wars and occupation. May our faith give us the strength and courage to stand with the oppressed. Peace and justice, everywhere for everyone.

MULTIMEDIA: photos and videos of today's hearing in the case #Nicaragua v. #Germany held before the #ICJ are available here tinyurl.com/5n8r465p

The only reason to prevent the Press from being able to cover what is happening in Gaza is precisely the reason why we need unhindered Press access.

I appreciate everyone who continues to speak for Gaza and Palestinians. I appreciate all the words of support and amplifying Palestinian voices. Continue speaking for Gaza, continue to protest, advocate, and share . Much love from the north of Gaza 🍉🇵🇸

Imagine how much you must hate Muslims to choose this photo. One of the most painful moments in Canada’s history for Muslims, and you choose this smiling picture of the terrorist who killed the most beautiful family. Shame on the National Post for making this deliberate choice.

It is now 48 hours since @CIJ_ICJ ordered Israel to, "take all necessary & effective measures to ensure... the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services & humanitarian assistance." How has Canada pressed for compliance @JustinTrudeau?

PRESS RELEASE: the #ICJ indicates additional provisional measures following South Africa’s request of 6 March 2024 in the case #SouthAfrica v. Israel bit.ly/3IVfOjp

“Following nearly 6 months of unrelenting Israeli assault on occupied #Gaza, it is my solemn duty to report on the worst of what humanity is capable of & to present my findings: 'the Anatomy of a Genocide'.” — Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs at @UN Human Rights Council. #HRC55

Gaza child's dream at the moment is finding something to eat. Play and education are things of the past. Future for our children is a dim and vague concept. We are at this stage, what can be next?

UNICEF “described scenes of “utter annihilation”, with “nothing left” of what were once thriving and crowded cities in the territory. The depth of the horror surpasses our ability to describe it,” said James Elder, a spokesperson with UNICEF theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…

Nearly two months after Justin Trudeau and Mélanie Joly said Canada would sanction "extremist" Israeli settlers in the West Bank, the federal government has yet to provide answers on how or when it plans to do so: by ⁦@markramzyy⁩ thestar.com/politics/feder…

On behalf of three Canadian-Palestinians who have lost dozens of family members in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, the Coalition for Canadian Accountability in Gaza (CCAG) has issued a demand letter to Canada’s government. In our letter, we accuse the Trudeau government of violating its duty under the Genocide Convention to prevent genocide in Gaza, and infringing our clients rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The CCAG demands that Canada take adequate steps to comply with the Genocide Convention and the Charter by no later than April 3, 2024. If Canada fails to comply, the CCAG will commence legal proceedings against the government to enforce its clients’ rights. dimitrilascaris.org/2024/03/19/leg… #Gaza #genocide #Palestine #cdnpoli

Five months into Israel's military bombardment and siege of Gaza and children are starving at the fastest rate the world has ever known. Food, water and medical supplies are desperately needed. Donate now to help us deliver: donate.map.org.uk

This week has been huge in the campaign for an arms embargo on Israel. Here’s a breakdown of what happened, what we have and haven't achieved, the roadmap to a real arms embargo, and some key next steps for the Canadian government and our movements. 🧵

While the world celebrates Mother's Day, we remember the resilient Palestinian mothers, especially those in Gaza that have endured the genocide for 167 continuous days, while the whole world watches. A salute to every Palestinian mother, may you live in freedom and peace.

I just called on Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly to implement a full ban on military exports to Israel – will you join me? act.leadnow.ca/airtight-arms-…

How will MPs vote today? @CJPME @leadnowca and Climate for Palestine have generated more than 50,000 emails in support of a ceasefire and arms embargo, while @angusreidorg polling shows 66% of Canadians support an immediate ceasefire. More at pbicanada.org/2024/03/18/tod… #CeasefireNow

‘Humanitarian crisis’ is a euphemism that covers up and shields those responsible - in @newhumanitarian The people of Gaza are not caught in a humanitarian crisis, but the crosshairs of the Israeli military’s drone targeting systems and sniper’s rifles. thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2024/0…

For those in power now calling Gaza a “humanitarian” crisis, if you aren’t able to bring yourself to denounce or even name the perpetrator of the violence that led to this crisis, your talk of (much-needed) aid is just convenient, conscience-absolving, self-serving saviourism.

"The in case of @UNRWA, Canada’s decision to cut funding goes beyond reputational damage to perilous legal liability." Please watch this entire video by @avilewis, it was for @FacultyJewish, but there are lessons for all of us about a movement for anti-racism and justice.
