Canada is shutting the door on Palestinian post-grad students while the rest of the world is competing to accept them. It’s short-sighted, cruel, and irresponsible. @LenaMetlegeDiab has failed to meet even the basic standard other countries have set. Canada should be leading, not blocking the futures of Palestinians.#cdnpoli

The White House shared this Washington Post oped written by an Abu Shabab gang member from multiple accounts. Post then replied with a gift link. The oped was pitched by a pro-Israel PR firm. Israel backed these gangs. The rot is so deep

The lack of pressure on Israel to release the thousands of Palestinian hostages (including CHILDREN) says a lot about what Peace that lays ahead, for the Palestinians. There cannot be peace without justice, human rights and dignity of ALL. Palestinian lives matter.

🚨 BREAKING: Israeli tanks stationed along Al-Rashid Street fired shells directly toward civilians waiting to return to their homes in Gaza City.

Tony Blair? Hell no. Hands off Palestine. Shall we meet in The Hague perhaps?

It is up to ordinary citizens in the West to do all we can to stop one of history’s great crimes. Italian workers have shown all of us how it can be done.

These harassments and violent threats are another sign of creeping totalitarianism. I am so sorry you face this Rachel, and thank you for your courage. 🙏🏼✊🏼

I officially ask EU leaders @vonderleyen and @kajakallas what demarches they have taken to set free Dr AbuSafiya and the other THOUSANDS Palestinian hostages who, like the Israeli hostages, have the sacrosaint right to return home.

PAY YOUR FLIGHT ATTENDANTS

Compete capitulation by the UN today. The backstory: 1. Israel accused Hamas of using SA as a weapon of war, demanding they be blacklisted, an official designation with diplomatic consequences. 2. The UN asked to investigate. Hamas agreed, Israel refused. 3. Israel instead invited Pramila Patten, with no investigative mandate, to visit and write a report. She did so. 4. Israel then produced its own report, through Patten’s friend and former colleague @KaddariRuth, by The Dinah Project (That’s a reference to the story of Dinah in the Old Testament. Dinah is a victim of SA and her brothers respond by killing everyone in the town. The title made clear the purpose of the allegation was to launch a genocide.) 5. Major reports emerge, with video evidence, of systemic SA of Palestinians in Israeli prisons and detention centers. 6. The UN announces it is blacklisting Hamas, per Israel’s demand, but does not blacklist Israel, merely warning them to do better. 7. In about 2 decades, if it still exists, the UN will apologize for this when it no longer matters

Even the BBC is now having to report evidence which points in only one direction: The Israeli army are deliberately shooting little children.

New: After Gaza aid flotilla volunteer & US citizen Christian Smalls was taken into Israeli custody, seven uniformed individuals beat him, choking him & kicking him in the legs, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Smalls is co-founder of the Amazon Labor Union.

1. A poignant open letter from the presidents of Gaza universities aje.io/66loh2 via @AJEnglish. This is an entirely legitimate & reasonable request. These individuals & their academics operate in the most trying & tragic of circumstances, & yet they persevere.

Well done Guardian, this is a headline. Now ask yourselves why you’ve seen such little coverage of a story this important…

I could not possibly be filled with more rage after seeing Texas Republicans blame the National Weather Service forecast for the unspeakable tragedy that hit the girls camp. You were warned this would happen if you fired everyone!

So much for elbows up

Israeli officers and soldiers have revealed they’ve been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians trying to get aid. That’s in Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Israel is deliberately massacring civilians it’s deliberately starving. There are few crimes more depraved.

It’s easy to feel like you’re going mad watching a live streamed genocide for a very obvious reason. You can see overwhelming evidence that the most depraved crimes are being committed every day, yet you’re treated as a hateful extremist if you say so.
