@Ravarora1 @globeandmail This is my story:

I’ve written for @globeandmail and I like several of their writers. But come on, guys. @nvanderklippe why does your piece in Canada’s leading newspaper still say the shooter is female with no mention of his transgender identity? The police have confirmed he was trans.

@Mark_Goldberg @globeandmail

What this shameful @globeandmail @nvanderklippe piece neglected to include: Her "freed brother" is a convicted terrorist, having organized a suicide bombing that killed 3 and injured more than 30 gov.il/en/pages/suici… Ask the victims' families if they are still struggling

@PublicMobile How do I reach a human to sort out a problem with activation? The chat doesn't work (No agents are currently available) and I can't see any other option.

I also spoke with Walid Khahlout, a dietitian in Deir el-Balah, who described what he is seeing: “their bodies are thin, their hair is falling out, their faces are pale and yellowish, and their bones are protruding.” Walid also told me about his own situation: "I have been living for nearly 5 months on the staircase of a school after our three-story home, which included my newly constructed apartment – still unpaid for – was destroyed," he said. "I'm a nutrition specialist treating thousands of people annually. Look at how my situation has deteriorated—my beautiful home destroyed, and I've lost my job and savings because of the war. All I want is to rebuild my home." If you want to help, he has set up a GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/gaza-war-hel…

In northern Gaza, some women are too weak to survive labour. “They gave birth to their children, then died,” neonatal nurse Ihdaa Jaber Ali told me. She has counted 10 such deaths on her shifts alone. theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

This one-word post from Itamar Ben-Gvir lamenting the Israeli counter-attack on Iran Friday uses a Hebrew word -- dardal'e -- that is tough to translate to English. I asked @thmr, and she was kind enough to put it out to some translators she knows, who came through in spades: -lame-o, wussy -meh -A dardal'e in soccer is a weak kick, most often a shot on goal that poses no threat to the keeper due to lack of power and pace, kinda sorta akin to a bunt in baseball, except that a dardal'e is not done on purpose. -Wishy washy -A dud ball -a whimper... -Half assed -Wet and weedy

“Biden told Netanyahu in their phone call tonight that the US will not support an Israeli attack on Iran. ‘You got a victory today. Be content with this victory,’ the president told the prime minister.”

With George Santos expelled a reminder that it was The North Shore Leader, a local, small paper on Long Island, that broke the story of his fraud before election. This is why local media is crucial and must be supported and not ignored

Desperate Gazans raid UN warehouses as Israeli troops push further into the strip and supplies of basic necessities dwindle. “They want to survive. That’s it.” From ⁦@nvanderklippe⁩ and me theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

On Saturday, at around 10 pm, two mortar shells hit a UNIFIL base in the vicinity of the village of Houla, resulting in the injury of one peacekeeper who was promptly evacuated for medical treatment.

“Anywhere we go war is following us” - the past year has seen an influx to Israel of Ukrainians fleeing war, and Russians escaping the draft. This month’s Hamas attacks brought sirens, shelters and death back into their lives. My report from Haifa theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

This evening, the Lebanese Armed Forces requested UNIFIL's assistance for seven individuals stranded near the Blue Line, close to Sheikh Abad's tomb, during a significant exchange of fire across the Blue Line.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry has replied to the partial-hostage-release-for-24-hour-ceasefire offer that Hamas co-founder Sheik Hassan Yousef outlined to me before he was arrested today: “Hamas lies in everything it says.” My updated report… theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…
