A fucking "just war". Shooting fish in a barrel is a "just war". It is so repulsive that Canadian media invites this bloodthirsty Islamophobic shitstain on it's shows.

I don’t know if this news matters to anyone in this world, but just a little while ago, a 6 year old child was killed while trying to collect firewood for his family to prepare food. The child was not carrying a weapon, not carrying a bomb, not carrying anything at all. He was completely visible in front of the soldier who killed him. His only “crime” was collecting firewood. Do you realize this? This is a child, innocent, posing no threat, and yet he was killed as if his life meant nothing. Killing has become easy, and innocence no longer protects anyone here. I saw his father in video clips, and I swear to you, he began to lose his mind; he could not bear the loss of his only child. Not a single day passes without more martyrs. Everything they call a “ceasefire” is just a trick for the world. Do not stay silent. Write, share, tell the world what is happening here.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons. Please share this far and wide... "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN. "Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman." "The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed." "Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you." It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless. “He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.” Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight. Please like and share.

If you’re rightfully horrified by what’s happening in the U.S., remember that this is daily life for Palestinians under Israeli occupation—funded by our tax dollars. The imperial boomerang is real. That’s why you can’t ignore what we do across the world as an issue “over there.”

While many Canadians watch with horror what is happening in the US & wake up to more threats by Trump, we MUST never forget "Captain Canada" AKA as @fordnation words, "God bless the president. I am a true republican."

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents murdered 37-year-old U.S. citizen Alex Pretti today in Minneapolis. This is the third U.S. citizen ICE has killed this year. ICE and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) are loyal agents of Nazis and white supremacists within the Republican Party. They are behaving as enemies both of the Constitution and of the American people and they must be treated as such. The United States is at a crossroads: Either the American people are able to wrest power from the current fascist leaders or those leaders will continue to radicalize, using violence and terror to dismantle democracy and commit even greater mass atrocities. History is clear about this. The American people are currently fighting alone in their battle for freedom and liberty. The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention admires their courage and expresses solidarity. We urge the U.S.’s powerful institutions, including the National Guard and the military, to uphold their Constitutional oath and come to the aid of the people immediately.

A doctor friend who came to Gaza with a medical delegation told me he wanted to offer a small act of support to orphaned children. The word small felt bitterly ironic in a place where even breathing has become heavier than people can endure. We decided to go together to a school that had recently reopened in Jabalia, in northern Gaza or what is still called a school, because the word itself can no longer carry the truth. When we arrived, it felt less like entering an educational institution and more like stepping into a chapter from a book about the end of the world. No walls. No classrooms. No blackboards. Just fewer than twenty tents erected over what was once a children’s playground, a place once meant for running and laughter, now repurposed as a shelter for survival, and a stage where education rises from ashes. Children sit directly on the ground, as their ancestors once did centuries ago, but while their grandparents learned out of curiosity and hope, these children learn out of sheer necessity to survive. Small faces scorched by sun and fear. Eyes older than their years. Fragile bodies carrying a fatigue no child should ever have to bear. We asked how many students were enrolled. The number struck like a bullet to the chest: 1,884 children !! I thought I had misheard. I asked again. The principal repeated it calmly (a calm that felt like surrender ) then opened a thick notebook filled with names. Names beyond what this space could possibly contain, and beyond what the heart could bear without breaking. 1,884 children in fewer than twenty tents. Three shifts a day. Three hours per child. Only three days a week. Even education here has been rationed, fragmented, besieged, as if knowledge itself requires permits, as if the mind, too, lives under blockade. Then we asked about the number of orphans. We expected a number we could emotionally withstand .. twenty or thirty … something survivable. But the number exceeded our ability to stand: 181 orphaned children, in this one school alone !! 181 hearts broken before they could fully form. 181 children returning to tents with no father, no mother, no real roof, no shoulder to lean on. 181 young souls forced to grow too soon, learning fear instead of songs. One out of every ten children here is an orphan. One out of every ten carries a void nothing will ever fill. One out of every ten begins life standing on the edge. Orphanhood here is not merely the loss of a parent it is the loss of safety, the loss of childhood, the loss of the right to grow slowly. These children will not grow as they should. They will grow carrying memories heavier than their ages. They will grow knowing the world betrayed them early. And they will carry with them a silent question: Why us? And why alone?! And the cruelest truth of all? This is only one school. And this is only a fraction of a catastrophe too vast to count. We no longer count students. We count orphans. We measure devastation by the number of children who lost their parents. We measure the future by the number of hearts broken in childhood. This is not an education crisis. This is not a passing tragedy. This is a crime being committed against an entire generation, an uprooting of dreams before they are born, a demolition of a future before it is allowed to breathe. When we left, there were no words in my chest. only a weight that felt like mourning, a sorrow unlike any I had known before, and the realization that we were not standing before a school, but before a delayed cemetery for children’s dreams. If 181 orphans exist in a single school, how many orphans does all of Gaza now carry in its heart? And how many more childhoods must be buried before the world understands that what is happening here is not a war, but a slow slaughter of an entire people’s future? #WoundedGaza

I think a lesson here, too, is to actually fucking listen to overpoliced communities. They live this experience long before it escalates to a point where the colour of your skin no longer protects you. The marginalized always live the cracks that exist in a democracy before those rip wide open. Listen to them!!
