“They have a container that acts like the beating room, and when you pass through it, you just get beaten,” he said. “Some people got their ribs broken; I suspected a collapsed lung.” “I would go back again if needed,” he said. “I feel relieved to be back with my family, and privileged that I didn’t get to go through so much pain and horror that Palestinians had to go through every day of their lives.” “I feel privileged that I get to see my family and my family gets to see me alive, which most Palestinian children do not get to see.”

Israel brutalized Canadian citizens then posted a video bragging about it. Instead of apologizing, the Israeli FM launches an attack against the activists and Canada. This is what happens when a state faces no consequences for its criminality.

Nowhere in this cascade of empty rhetoric does @MarkJCarney say Canada will impose consequences on Israel for its relentless and unspeakable crimes. There's literally nothing Israel can do that will cause Canada's government to sanction Israel. #cdnpoli #palestine #genocide

Canada is using borders to police Palestine solidarity, with pro-Pal advocates increasingly facing interrogations, visa revocations, denials of entry. Weaponisation of immigration law, surveillance powers & institutional pressure is becoming normalised. aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…

Le suicide est la 3eme cause de mortalité dans l’armée, les soldats en service ont représenté 78 % de tous les suicides en Israël. Des drogues sont administrées à des milliers de militaires au retour de Gaza. Le professeur Shaul Lev-Ran estime qu’entre 30 % et 50 % des Israéliens sont sous l’emprise d’une substance addictive. Une société coloniale finit toujours par tomber malade des crimes qu’elle commet et cautionne. orientxxi.info/Israel-la-drug…

There's a video on the timeline today of a Palestinian man weeping over the body of his dead 6-year-old daughter. She was killed in an Israeli attack on a tent. There is no ceasefire. There was never a ceasefire. And they have never stopped slaughtering the children of Gaza.

The Gaza blockade is extraordinarily criminal: a form of collective punishment, it is a war crime in itself, and the enclosure behind which genocide has unfolded. Cooperating with Israel under these conditions may entail complicity. All this must end and be accounted for.

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism. And we’d never hear the end of it. Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.
Hala Jaber@HalaJaber

Israel killed 9 paramedics in roughly 72 hours. Let that sink in. These are some of their faces. According to Lebanon’s latest health sector figures, now updated after the killing of additional paramedics in the last 48 hours: • 125 healthcare workers killed • 273 wounded • 149 attacks on the healthcare sector • 142 ambulances targeted • 32 medical centres destroyed • 16 hospitals forced out of service • 221 ambulance crews attacked Lebanon’s emergency sector is not collapsing accidentally. It is being systematically dismantled. Israel is committing war crimes against Lebanon’s medical services.

Canada is still arming Israel, aiding in the genocides in Gaza and Lebanon. Not even the mass detention and assault of Canadian citizens by Israel seems to make a dent in our posture. Mind boggling. #cdnpoli

Israel’s ambassador admits Canada is still sending weapons to Israel: “Mr. Moed cited the recognition of Palestine, some restrictions on arms sales to Israel from Canada …” Some restrictions is not an arms embargo. Canada is still arming Israel. #cdnpoli theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

Israel is bombing Gaza, killing children, stealing more land in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, destroying southern Lebanon, damaging hospitals, killing medics, and the media tells you this is a ceasefire. They’re changing the meaning of words to launder a list of war crimes.

As seen in the comments, people do not trust your sincerity. If you are sincere, impose sanctions on Israel.
Anita Anand@AnitaAnandMP

I have just received information from my officials which details the appalling abuse of Canadians who were detained in Israel. These Canadians have now arrived in Türkiye. Global Affairs consular officials on the ground are ensuring that they receive urgent medical care as required so that they can return home as soon as possible. Canada unequivocally condemns the grave mistreatment of Canadians in Israel. Those responsible for this egregious abuse must be held accountable. We will continue to provide additional information as it becomes available.

Woo-hoo!! Another statement from Carney 🤣 I'm sure the Israelis are really impressed -- not. David Ben-Gurion, the first PM of Israel, famously said, "It matters not what the goyim say but what the Jews do." The people annihilating Palestinian life don't care what we say. The only language they understand is force. Canada has many tools at its disposal and is using none of them: - a real two-way end to any military sales* - suspend the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement - revoke charitable status of orgs that violate @CanRevAgency regulations and send tens of millions of tax subsidized dollars to Israel - investigate and prosecute Israeli war criminals in Canada - support South Africa's case at the ICC and ICJ - deploy the Canadian military to protect Canadian citizens in international waters * Israeli weapons dealers are coming to CANSEC, North America's premier arms show next week in Ottawa @AdvocatesJust justpeaceadvocates.ca/shut-down-cans…

I have huge respect for people with the courage to join the Global Sumud Flotilla. They put their bodies at risk because they do not believe their lives are more valuable than the lives of Palestinians. It is shameful that government ministers express indignation for Canadians when they have utterly failed to show it for Palestinians, who have endured untold cruelty for the better part of a century. But that’s the world we live in, and the bravery of the flotilla participants shows the glaring double standard, and helps build pressure to rein in the rogue state of Israel. It’s an extreme tactic in response to extreme impunity. And the goal is to stop the genocide and dismantle Israeli apartheid.

Good news. Things are moving. Ireland is considering similar ban. @amnesty and others are insisting the ban should include services as well.

The Dutch government has just approved import ban on goods from illegal Israeli settlements. Third EU government after Spain and Slovenia. Some more underway. The ICJ made clear this is a legal obligation for all states under international law. nu.nl/politiek/63967…

Today, Canada, alongside a number of its allies, published an important statement condemning the numerous and continuous violations of international law by Israel. We note, for the first time in our view, that Canada clearly spells out that any Canadian construction projects or business operations in Palestinian territories, including on land in which illegal settlements currently stand, can be met with legal and reputational consequences. This is an important step in the right direction. It is further imperative that the government clarify what steps Canada will take to ensure that no Canadian businesses will have continued or future involvement in illegal settlements on Palestinian land, including in the sale of settlement products or projects.
