Israeli govt leaders vow to conquer, cleanse and annihilate what is left of Gaza including its people. Genocidal intent repeated over and over, sending incase you needed more evidence.
@MarkJCarney sanctions are long overdue.
Enough is enough.

We were out yesterday marching and representing dozens of members across Canada. @cjjpmedia continues to grow as mainstream media’s obfuscation of Israel’s genocide does. We cannot allow Israel to be the exception when we report. Our craft and credibility are on the line.

Unifor’s @Lanampayne warned the federal government at yesterday’s Toronto rally supporting CUPE #flightattendants: forcing workers into arbitration attacks the right to strike—and there will be no labour peace until a fair deal is reached at the bargaining table. #canlab

Solidarity with Sally Rooney. Also, it's crazy how #they believe they're victims of a global conspiracy, yet they regularly collaborate w/ the State and deploy its institutions in service of their depraved and frankly delusional crusades. You're not David, you're Goliath.
We have reported Sally Rooney to @TerrorismPolice.

.@TennisCanada should never have been put in this position.
Israel should be banned from @DavisCup much like Russia has been banned.
Now that you are forced to act, you must #BoycottIsrael @TennisCanada
#BoycottApartheid
#BoycottGenocide
413 Canadian signatories calling on Tennis Canada to cancel Canada's Davis Cup tie with Israel in Halifax this September.
Canada must not let sport be used to wash war crimes.

The Liberals are weaponizing the Canada Labour Code to weaken unions and override Charter-protected strike rights.
Air Canada workers aren’t just fighting for wages—they’re fighting back against a government that bends laws to satisfy corporate bosses. canadiandimension.com/articl…

This isn't just about tennis.
Going on business as usual with Israel sends a clear message that genocide is normal and okay.
All decent people in Canada should be supporting a full severing of relations with Israel in all sectors, and that includes sports.

We stand firmly with the 10,000 @AirCanada flight attendants on strike who refuse to work for free and are bravely defying @MarkJCarney's undemocratic back-to-work legislation. The flight attendants’ struggle is the struggle of all workers. #Solidarity #StopWageTheft✊
CUPE National President Mark Hancock makes it absolutely clear (while tearing up the CIRB order):
“This strike will end when we get a Collective Agreement that works for our members.”
Not before.
Workers decide.

When religious symbols, dress, and prayer are used to terrorize and oppress another, this is supremacy. When I am given undeserved privileges by virtue of my religion, that is Jewish supremacy. Don’t feel scared or awkward to name it. Call it out. Say I told you to.

They were on strike for less than 48 hrs
Governments over the past few decades have created a moral hazard where there’s no incentive by management to solve grievances. The government is the teacher corporate cries to when they’re demanded accountability
Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government had no choice but to impose binding arbitration on Air Canada flight attendants this weekend because negotiations were not ending the dispute. trib.al/0pRNPCH

Al Jazeera's Hind Khoudary reports that what is happening in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City is exactly the same scenario that took place in Rafah, where everything in sight was entirely levelled to the ground by Israeli forces.

Awdah’s murder is devastating, shows state-sanctioned system of impunity for settlers as they continue to wage violence against Palestinians. At least 1,010 Palestinians have been killed & 7K+ have injured in the West Bank by Israeli settlers and soldiers since October 2023.
SURJ Toronto - Defund Toronto Police retweeted
Awda's murderer, Levi, is at-large, returning to the community he’s terrorized. The risk of arrests in Umm al Kheir remains high. Israel’s abuse of Palestinians in prisons is well-documented and reflects its apartheid system that must end.

Update: Awdah Hathaleen’s body was returned Aug 7 after 70 women in Umm Al-Khair, ages 13–70+, ended a hunger strike. Hundreds mourned but many blocked. Canada must sanction Israel’s state-backed settler violence & ongoing genocide. buff.ly/wwN1xTr
Beloved teacher, civil resister Awdah Hathaleen was murdered by Israeli settler Yinon Levi. IDF stole his body, jailed mourners & raided his village. Support 70 women on hunger strike. Tell Canada to end complicity in Israeli apartheid & settler violence: actionnetwork.org/letters/ca…

we are yet in another heatwave. the city finally got water to orgs after the civic long weekend, but people are still with no options. the one 24/7 space at metro hall is embarrassingly bad. seeing so many downtown outside.
can’t we at least have water fountains?!
