How can anyone, anywhere in the United States be okay with this?

CUPE joins the urgent call to @mark-carney.bsky.social & ‪@anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social ‪: Canada must act to stop the genocide in Gaza and end the war crimes and crimes against humanity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Prof Heidi Matthews & I have done 25 cross-Canada CBC Radio morning shows discussing our #Gaza letter to @mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social: www.alexneve.ca/blog/prime-m... I was asked repeatedly: do you think the government will act? Answer: there is no other choice.

An important step. Ben-Gvir & Smotrich should have been sanctioned ages ago, but have spewed their genocidal hate for 20 months. Other ministers & Netanyahu himself must be next, as per June 9 Open Letter to @mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social: www.alexneve.ca/blog/prime-m...

412 🇨🇦 leaders in human rights, diplomacy, social justice, labour, civil society, etc. are pleading with Carney and the Liberals to end complicity in the genocide against Palestinians. - Ceasefire - Humanitarian access - Support international justice - Arms embargo/sanctions - Recognize Palestine

Such a gift & opportunity, humbling honour & daunting responsibility. Still don't quite believe that I will be delivering the 2025 Massey Lectures this fall, but announcement is out today, so must be real. You can even preorder the book (not to worry I have written it). www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/...

In our Open Letter to @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP, 412 legal, human rights, diplomatic, international affairs, social justice, civil society, faith & labour leaders & experts make it clear: Canada must act to end genocide in #Gaza. 🧵1/10

War crime on top of war crime.

10 Years of Rohingya Refugees Stranded at Sea

Such an important legal challenge. The obvious course of action would be to scrap the #STCA. At a minimum we need transparency as to how the federal government can possibly consider DT's USA to be a safe country for refugees.

Hey DT, how’s that peace thing going with your buddy Putin? Is he even returning your calls?

Everyone. Everywhere. Scream at the top of your lungs. STOP THE GENOCIDE!!

My article, "Israel/Palestine and Canada's Empty Support for International Law," has just been published in the International Journal. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

Tragic, chilling and heartbreaking news. Condolences to all who knew and loved Sarah and Yaron. There must be justice for their murder.

This racist, lying, demagoguery, on top of the demeaning, lying, demagoguery inflicted on Zelensky. Every world leader of conscience should show solidarity and boycott all White House visits. Don't give this narcissist the platform he craves.

I know nothing is unbelievable in DT's America. But truly, this is unbelievable. Illegal deportations of migrants from Vietnam and Myanmar to, wait for it... South Sudan.

Amidst this mayhem, suffering & injustice, it is long past time, @mark-carney.bsky.social, @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social and Gary Anandasangaree, to repatriate all remaining Canadians (& mothers/siblings of Canadian kids) illegally detained in NE Syria, to safety & justice in Canada.

"UN warns 14,000 babies could die in #Gaza in next 48 hours." ACT NOW @mark-carney.bsky.social & @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social to stop this genocide. Stop at nothing: recognize Palestine, cut trade, impose sanctions, stop all arms, lay criminal charges...

The UK has suspended trade talks with Israel because of #Gaza. Follow & build on that lead @mark-carney.bsky.social, @manindersidhu.bsky.social, @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social: suspend the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement (which disgracefully benefits illegal West Bank settlements). Do it today.

Much needed, strong (if overdue) statement from @mark-carney.bsky.social, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer. Now, as it is clear that #Israel will not comply, it is time to demonstrate that "we will take further concrete actions" means something. Sanctions. At the very top. Now. #Gaza

The notion of Israel's military assault "intensifying" & being more "extensive"? Intensifying & extending beyond genocide? Towards complete obliteration & annihilation? And the world looks on.

Better headline: Trump administration readies to obliterate international law & complete genocide by moving 1 million Palestinians to anarchy & violence in Libya.

"At least 115 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in a wave of Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip." #Nakba77.

The Palestine Exception alive & strong at NYU. Disgraceful infringement of free expression. One cannot help but wonder if he would not be facing sanctions if he had spoken about some other situation of mass atrocities in our world.

This is fraught terrain Mayor Sutcliffe. Police already have ample powers to restrict protests at schools, hospitals & places of worship when needed. Anything further needs very careful study. Court challenges elsewhere already pending. Don't rush this.
