Yesterday, @TheAtlantic published an article falsely claiming The Maple listed two specific synagogues in Toronto as being complicit in Israel’s genocide. The author did this by citing a quote from a September 2024 article I wrote about complicity in Israel’s crimes that did not even mention either of these synagogues, and then not telling readers where the quote was from or when it was published. This was seemingly intended to give readers the impression that it came from a December 2025 database of mine the author mentioned that did include public information about those two synagogues. It did not. Moreover, that database did not claim the synagogues are complicit in anything, nor did it even use the word “complicit” anywhere. The author of the piece was almost definitely aware of these facts when they stitched together the paragraph. The Atlantic editors/fact checkers should have caught it and edited it properly. I alerted them to this serious error yesterday, but they have yet to respond or make a correction. The article also didn’t link to or name either piece, so readers weren’t able to check the sources themselves. Here’s the September 2024 article: readthemaple.com/are-canadian-j… And here’s the December 2025 database: gtatoidf.com

ERASING THE WEST BANK. Israel is tearing through Palestinian towns with a mechanical fury, destroying everything. Making daily life impossible until people are forced out.

Israel has now approved a law: - Palestinians who resist (their legal right) are executed by hanging - only applies to Palestinians and not settler "terrorists" who continue to murder with impunity as they illegally steal homes The state of Israel needs to be deconstructed

Someone named Tony Dokoupil, married to an Israeli, angrily berated Ta-Nehisi Coates for his book about the repression of Palestinians in the West Bank, and Bari Weiss thought: "that'd be a great person to make the CBS News anchor and save the show." Just a few months later:

Palestinian children killed with their hands behind their back and dumped in a mass grave. This is Israeli army “morality.”

The footage shows real-time citizen video from a vehicle near the Negev's Rotem industrial zone (phosphate/chemical plants). It matches confirmed reports of an Iranian ballistic missile strike today hitting nearby, causing fires/smoke plumes. No injuries or major damage per rescue services. See: timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry… And related updates: haaretz.com/israel-news/is… (sirens/strikes ongoing).

Insane how it’s gone from denying to just matter-of-fact bragging that starvation is part of the Israeli way of war.

Canada outsourced its immigration policy to McKinsey which resulted in a chaotic mess of non-organization. Now, it's using generative AI to invent reasons to deny people's application for PR. archive.is/ELrCI

"Man in military fatigues" is a new one.

In a new major report, the World Bank conceded that its decades-long war on industrial policy was wrong, saying its old advice “has not aged well — it has the practical value of a floppy disk today.” But this is not an intellectual awakening. The World Bank's doctrine shifted because the means through which Western nations can maintain their dominance shifted — not because economists suddenly discovered new evidence. The world’s wealthiest nations are now pursuing industrial policy so openly that it can no longer be denied to the rest of the world. When the geopolitical winds shift, so does the ideology of institutions where wealthy nations' interests are deeply entrenched.

⭕️ Israel has not prosecuted a single killing of a Palestinian civilian in the West Bank since 2020, Guardian analysis finds No Israeli soldier, police officer, or settler has been charged for killing a Palestinian civilian in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian review of legal data and public records shows. At least 1,100 Palestinian civilians have been killed there since 2020, more than a quarter of them children, according to UN data. Dozens of former Israeli security chiefs, including two former military heads, five former Mossad and Shin Bet directors, and four ex-police commissioners, have signed a letter warning that "almost daily" attacks on Palestinians amount to "organized activity" by people "wearing uniforms, who shoot at innocent people and burn the property and homes of civilians." They warned that failure to address what they called "Jewish terrorism" poses an existential threat to Israel. This month alone, Israeli settlers and police killed 10 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, including a family of four shot in the head, among them brothers aged five and seven, as they returned from a Ramadan shopping trip. According to legal rights group Yesh Din, between 2020 and 2025: ▪️over 96% of police investigations into settler violence concluded without an indictment ▪️Of 368 cases, only eight ended in full or partial convictions ▪️Palestinians filed 1,746 complaints against Israeli soldiers in the same period, including over 600 related to killings. Less than 1% resulted in charges

Nice try.

🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️– Scenes in Tel Aviv; Massive flocks of crows circling the skies over Tel Aviv has ignited firestorm of online speculation with many users interpreting the sight as a "harbinger of doom", as it is often followed by a "Total Catastrophe" Some users online linked it to a biblical prophecy citing the Book of Revelation 19:17, which describes an angel standing in the sun, shouting to birds flying in midair to gather for '"the great supper of God."

🇮🇷⚡️– The Five official points under which Iran would agree to end the war; 1. A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy. 2. The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic. 3. Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations. 4. The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region. 5. International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz. "No negotiations will be held prior to that," an Iranian official told Press TV.

@manaman_chhina Like this war's really just a different brand of war Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you can't put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughin' their way to the bank m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwxzwb…

“He’s never held a rifle, never dodged a shell But he’s real good at sending other boys to hell”

That moment in 2022 when EU President Ursula von der Leyen was mocking Russia, claiming it was so desperate that it had to scavenge computer chips from dishwashers and that its industry was in tatters. Later,she insisted Europe must burn through 800 billion Euro's to defeat this supposedly ruined Russia. 😂😂😂
