Avi Lewis: "Do we only think that it's worth spending money on projects that have incredible lobbying power, powerful friends in cabinet, huge industries that benefit? Those are the projects we see going forward and the ones that benefit all of us get left aside and left out of the conversation."

A 14-year-old orphan in Gaza told me he wants to be a journalist. I asked why, expecting the usual reply about telling our story to the world etc...he says "because suicide is haram". Apparently he's not the only who made this decision for that reason. Congratulations world.

Just spoke to friends on the Global Sumud Flotilla. Israeli vessels & drones are harassing them off the coast of Crete. The Greek gvt is either complicit or incapable of defending our seas from Israel. So much for Freedom of Navigation & Int. Law

Our boats were approached by military speedboats, self-identified as “israel”, pointing lasers and semi-automatic assault weapons ordering participants to the front of the boats and to get on their hands and knees. Boat communications are being jammed and a SOS was issued.

UPDATE The Israeli court approved the extension of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s detention, without charges. The request for his immediate release was denied, despite the unlawful nature of his detention while carrying out his medical duties. He is held in Negev Prison in harsh conditions, without access to medication or medical care, as his health continues to deteriorate. We demand the immediate release of Dr. Abu Safiya along with 13 other detained doctors, as well as all medical personnel currently held in Israel. We call on the international community to intervene and put an end to this abuse.

Guess who got a perfect score on the psychology exam at medical school despite all the suffering in Gaza?
