"The handwringing is just another bit of stagecraft, little different from the ... talk about Israel’s “right to defend itself”. And it is to the same purpose: to buy Israel time to “finish the job” – that is, to complete its genocide and ethnic cleansing of Gaza." open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Mizrahi says that the genocide now in Gaza can't be explained politically, it is evidence of an insane, psychopathic society—and that includes Israel and all of its Western "slaves". + when Israel has finished with the Palestinians, it will target another group. open.substack.com/pub/alonmizr...

On Oct 25th 2023, within weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad tweeted: “One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” I think that day is dawning.

Fixed it

No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

Yeah, I heard about this through someone on Signal. The flotillas invariably get torpedoed by Israel. Israel gets away with murder… for now.

What's up?

If want the NDP to prioritize proportional representation, they need to hear from us now! fairvotecanada.good.do/proportional...

It looks like Israel is imploding. And it's the end of the American Empire. reason2resist.substack.com/p/is-trump-f...

We are seeing a resurgence of disaster capitalism, and that is disturbing. It gives new meaning to Carney’s boast that he is an expert at managing crises. It is almost as if Trump and Carney are working together to trick us into accepting measures that we would never accept otherwise.

"We are, [whether] we like it or not, part of an artificial country with very little meaning called Canada," - Y-F Blanchet I agree, and I think less patriotism and more humility on the part of nations like Canada, the US and the EU would make the world a safer place. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In 2024, Canada spent 30.5 billion $ on militarism, which is 1.37% of GDP. Imagine what leaps we could take in terms of housing, education, healthcare, addressing climate change and reducing poverty if we were to defund the military and free up that 30 billion dollars.

The tariff war is heaven-sent for billionaires-it is perceived as a crisis, people are thrown off balance, so govts can take actions that citizens wouldn't normally accept (Naomi Klein’s "shock doctrine"). A bonanza for oil&gas, militarism etc. Carney, a self-proclaimed crisis expert, can’t wait.

LOL 🇨🇦

In Montreal outside of the English federal debate, we are here again to remind party leaders that they can’t hide from Israel’s genocide in Gaza. By arming Israel, Canada is complicit. saygenocide.ca

Watching the debates now. Canadian military spending has doubled since 2019, to 44 billion dollars, but no one is talking about that, even as they puzzle over where to find money for housing, groceries, and cost of living. 🤷‍♀️

Don't let Carney ignore genocide. Tell Canada’s next parliament to stop arming Israel. saygenocide.ca

The dangers of climate change should be front and center but this election has been one that pays the least attention even as we run out of time to address a monumental crisis. A crisis that makes tariffs look like only a mild headache in comparison www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

loving this one i saw on another site #handsoff

Video obtained by the NYT confirms Israeli soldiers executed 15 paramedics and emergency workers in cold blood, and its story that the vehicles were ‘advancing suspiciously’ without flashing lights was a lie. Who knew? States committing genocide lie. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

While NATO claims to exist to ensure the security of Europe, the true goal of this alliance is to militarily unite the U.S. and European countries to serve the interests of U.S. imperialism. youtu.be/0ci_zwNgd_E

Every day that this barbarism is committed, and let to pass, further destroys our collective humanity.

Since Oct. 7, 2023, Israel in its war on Gaza has killed more journalists than the US Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan combined, according to an analysis released today by the Costs of War project.

David Hartsough was my hero. He dedicated his life to peace; Someone who truly lived as he believed.

This young man had more dignity and integrity in his short career than the thousands of comfortable Western journalists who have remained silent as their governments have armed and funded a genocide.
