@KimZandboer Great sunny pics and you’ve beat the crowds.

Another dream come true! So grateful to be vacationing in beautiful Rome Italy❤️🇮🇹

URGENT 🚨 Right now – hundreds of miles from their territorial waters, near the Greek island of Crete – the Israeli navy has suddenly surrounded the @gbsumudflotilla at gunpoint, demanding their surrender. Hundreds of humanitarian workers are now at risk of violent abduction.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Ford is seizing control of almost all of the land on the Toronto Islands. #ONpoli

“Open the road.” Palestinian children protest at barbed wire erected by Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank village of Um al-Khair—calling for their basic right to access their school, move freely, & live without occupation. Imagine your child facing this on the way to class

Piers Morgan just read the Haaretz investigation. IDF soldiers shot an unarmed old man and three boys. Their bodies were riddled with bullets. The battalion commander spat on them and yelled, 'This is what happens.' In another incident, a tank fired hundreds of rounds at five Palestinians crossing a line. Four were killed. A bulldozer buried them in the sand. Gideon Levy, the Israeli journalist, said: 'This is not exceptions. This is the occupation. You cannot occupy for decades and remain human. What will make people realize we are growing monsters in front of our eyes?

What if the person next to you is paying a different price for the same thing? An algorithm decided that. 🏷️💵 Watch to the end to find out how – then go to BanPredatoryPricing.ca and tell every Conservative MPP to vote YES to banning predatory pricing.

Makes good sense. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@Nannynannynanoo This makes me so happy. I really missed him.

David Cochrane will be back on Monday! So glad that he's doing well.

Please @MarkJCarney join @sanchezcastejon in calling for an end to attacks on Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank. Israel must be stopped.

Could the leaders of law abiding, democratic countries around the world please do something to prevent this from happening.

Many words have been written and spoken about Stephen Lewis and his great achievements and battles. Not too many have noted that the last cause for which he took to the streets to demonstrate was the rights of the Palestinian people. #canpoli buff.ly/4cpniLB

This is a powerful speech.

My father Stephen Lewis is spectacularly uninterested in social media, so I’m posting this myself (though he has read it and is prepared to suffer the indignity of all I'm about to reveal). When he was Canada’s ambassador to the UN from 1984-88, Dad was truly shocked by the regularity of open, vitriolic antisemitism in the cocktail parties and ambassadorial receptions that surround that crucial but flawed institution. For this reason (among others) he’s always been the one in our family with the deepest atavistic fear of antisemitism. He was sympathetic to the idea of Israel as a refuge longer than the rest of us. This is no longer the case. Like so many Jews who for decades adopted the dominant narratives of Zionism, he can no longer defend the current actions of the state of Israel. He now regards Israel as a rogue state, committing genocide and other crimes against humankind, which ought to be opposed by every tool and tactic in Canada's diplomatic arsenal. To return to the personal, seven years ago my Dad was diagnosed with a vicious cancer and was given as little as 3 months to live. It’s a sublime understatement to say that he’s a fighter - but he has persevered in life with a tenacity familiar from his political, diplomatic and humanitarian pursuits. Which brings us to this morning, when at 87 years old, he spent an hour standing at the side of the road in his old riding of Scarborough West. Standing up as a Jew against genocide. Standing up for justice for Palestine. Standing up on the right side of history, where the vast majority of humanity currently stands. I’ve never been prouder, never more humble before the stubborn principle and insistent moral clarity of the guy I’m so lucky to call Dad. People of Canada: don’t stop talking about Palestine. Starvation as collective punishment can never be forgiven. Burning and burying children alive can never be defended. Stand up against genocide until we make it stop! Thanks Dad. And special thanks to @CharlieAngusNDP for shining his spotlight on Ted Schmidt and the other excellent folks who gather every Thursday at 8 am at the corner of Victoria Park and Kingston Road in Scarborough.

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law. The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials. Read @UNHumanRights earlier statement and analysis about the death penalty draft bill: ohchr.org/en/press-relea……

This vile human being has reaffirmed Israel’s status as the world’s only remaining apartheid state, more brutal than even apartheid South Africa, according to Mandela & Tutu. If world leaders, who all claim to continue to arm Israel in order to maintain influence with it, do not prevent the execution of Palestinian prisoners, we will hold them equally accountable for the murders

That’s all very cozy and nice, but why aren’t you denouncing Israel and the US for starting this illegal war. Why aren’t you speaking out against the genocide in Gaza.
