🚨British Activists Block Israeli Weapons Components From Being Transported
The group People Against Genocide blocked the road to the DSV’s distribution centre in Stoke-on-Trent, in attempt to disrupt the transport of Israeli weapons.

As the tide turns globally, I see the effort to pin the blame solely on Netanyahu. The strategy is to resurrect Israel's image in the process of toppling him. But genocide is not a one-man show; the whole system is culpable. Zionism must be abolished. There is no going back.

I’ll be looking today to see if media outlets point out that millions of Palestinians, living under Israeli military rule in the occupied West Bank, have no right to vote. Yet, Israeli settlers, living in settlements in the West Bank, are considered Israeli citizens and can vote.

The most immoral cowards in the world.. Heavily armed Israeli soldiers abducting a 5-year-old Palestinian child.

75 more bodies pulled from the rubble. Another mass funeral & it’s hardly a blip in the news. Bodies were in the rubble of buildings in Al-Daraj located in the northeastern part of Gaza city. Thousands are still missing as Israel continues to bulldoze its genocide away.

If she was Israeli and her mother burned to death in front of her, she would be on the front page of every single news outlet. But little Maryam is Palestinian and so, as Israel’s evil doing falls like rain, she hardly makes the news .

Can you hear the children crying?
The only reason anyone would still be talking about Jewish fear, Jewish feelings, or Jewish trauma is because you don’t see our babies as worthy of life.

For the first time, Public Safety Canada has stated explicitly that its definition of antisemitism includes opposing Zionism. As the Ministry that oversees enforcement agencies like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), this conflation is very alarming.
As acts of right-wing extremism rise, including the recent abhorrent attempted shooting of an Ontario synagogue full of congregants on Yom Kippur, the Canadian government must ensure the safety of all Canadians to practice their faith in peace and participate freely in society without fear. Incitement, threats and violence can never be accepted.
However, these incidents cannot be used as an excuse to repress legitimate political expression. Palestinian Canadians have the right to to participate fully in Canadian society, including civil and political discourse on issues that directly affect their families. They must be able to honour their relationship to their ancestral homeland and to name the political ideology that perpetuates their displacement and erasure, and they must be able to do so without fear of criminalization or discrimination. These are fundamental rights enshrined in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
We are steadfast in our legal efforts to protect the rights of both Palestinian Canadians and those who stand with them in solidarity, and are exploring our options for responding to this dangerous conflation accordingly.

Absolutely diabolical. National Post puts a bullseye on Avi Lewis through the rabid ramblings of Yoni Goldstein who invokes Halakhah and Leviticus on how to deal with Jews. Writing Lewis “presents a clear and present danger to the Jewish community” & other Jews are “duty-bound to step in.” This is so irresponsible. The National Post should be stripped of any government funding it receives from Canada. This is wholly negligent and irresponsible.
