This holds for the @liberal_party of Canada and most Western countries. If they won't - we MUST. Pressure the political class - they love stasis. This is how Apartheid in South Africa was dismantled.

איך זה מתקבל על הדעת שיו״ר ועדת החינוך של הכנסת פורץ לבית ספר בירושלים המזרחית ומשחית אותו רק משום שיש בו דגל פלסטין? תארו לעצמכם שיו״ר ועדת החינוך של כל מדינה אחרת היה נכנס לבית ספר יהודי ומשחית אותו רק משום שמונף בו דגל ישראל. העולם כולו היה מזדעזע. ובצדק! בית ספר הוא מקום שבו ילדים אמורים ללמוד ולהתפתח, ולא זירת התפרעות של פוליטיקאים ונערי גבעות במצוקת קמפיין. וכשאלה האנשים שאחראים על החינוך, כולנו משלמים את המחיר, גם הילדים שלכם, ולא רק הילדים שלומדים בבית הספר הזה.

Church of England votes overwhelmingly to engage with Palestinian Christian document accusing Israel of genocide. Decision came despite warnings from Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis that it risks "undermining decades of careful relationship‑building" between Christians and Jews.

Ro Khanna: “They’re just lying. I guess the people who lied about the genocide are going to lie about the detainment of Americans. Israel needs to be treated like an occupying power that is engaged in apartheid in the West Bank and has committed a genocide. Those are just the facts on the ground”

Stand up please! Do your job as Canadian Leadership! @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP The ONLY option for Cdns wanting a Main St. voice in Parliament is to vote and create a strong Federal NDP! @NDP
Mark Kersten || @markkersten.bsky.social@MarkKersten

Canada is standing aside as the US seeks to destroy the #ICC, a court 🇨🇦 helped create, & ruin the lives of those who have dedicated their life to combating the worst atrocities. Forget elbows up; where is our spine @AnitaAnandMP @MarkJCarney? We must urgently defend the ICC.

Listen to this disingenuous shrew @YvetteCooper - now she's saying @UKLabour didn't act fast enough in calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. This viper was one of the Zionist cheerleaders who has done everything Tel Aviv has ordered her to do. She's bought and owned by lobby groups like @_LFI - too little too late Yvette and there are tens of thousands of us who will remind you of how you trampled over the babies of Gaza to endear and ingratiate yourself with Tel Aviv. We remember. We see you. Your lies will undo you.
Sangita Myska@SangitaMyska

Labour’s rewriting of history is quite something. The main problem was NOT that Labour was “too slow to call for a ceasefire” as Andy Burnham & Yvette Cooper now say it is. The problem was Starmer, a human rights lawyer, saying Israel cutting off water and electricity was acceptable - and taking 9 days to correct the record. Ongoing UK intelligence, military & trade co-operation during a genocide Ministers refusing to listen to surgeons trying to advocate for killed/maimed children Backing Trump & Netanyahu without question for almost two years. The list goes on and on and on….

The only thing ABC does well is using administrative process to destroy democracy. Today they canceled the meeting for opposition councillors to bring forward important motions, finding a way to squash dissent without a public voting record. A nightmare from start to finish

This is nonsense. Attacking the ICC means that we will aiding those who commit mass atrocities around the world while undermining the historic effort since Lemkin and Nuremberg to deter mass murder and mass rape and provide accountability afterward.
Secretary Marco Rubio@SecRubio

The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law — empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty. We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve.

Congressman Greg Casar
Tomorrow, the House will vote on an amendment to block the $3.3 billion in taxpayer funding we send to Israel's military. I will vote yes. It is past time for us to end aid used to commit genocide in Gaza, kill innocents in Lebanon and beyond, and help drag us into war with Iran.

No one died because of decriminalization, and no one died because of safer supply. Elenore knows that because, like everyone else, she can read the BC Coroners Service reports, they're public. People are dying because of the toxic, unregulated drug supply. In fact, we're seeing more overdose events but fewer deaths because harm reduction interventions are preventing fatal overdoses. That's what the data actually shows.

You are lying @havivrettiggur. The Jerusalem Post, which leans right, concluded that it was not a closed zone & vigilante settlers had no right to detain Americans. Stop gaslighting Americans. jpost.com/israel-news/ar…
The Free Press@TheFP

“It’s a shame to have a congressman invent out of whole cloth an event that. . . simply doesn’t represent what happened.” @HavivRettigGur disputes Ro Khanna’s account of his West Bank encounter, arguing that all available evidence tells a very different story.
