Ontario’s universities have the lowest per-student funding of any province in Canada. The provincial government can address this embarrassing gap by funding our universities at $11.75 for the next 5 years.

Minister ⁦David McGuinty⁩ what gives? Surely the Canadian military has no interest in learning IDF lessons about waging genocide. We need confirmation no Canadian soldiers took part. And if they did, a whole lot of explaining & accountability. readthemaple.com/minister-cant-…

Today in Montreal, people of conscience gathered in the city’s busiest shopping district to remind Canadians that their tax dollars are funding Israel’s genocide. #montreal #genocide #palestine

It’s telling that Canadian authorities will interrogate former UN Special Rapporteurs yet, despite launching a structural investigation into the war in Gaza, we’re having a debate whether IDF soldiers who participated in the war, should even be interviewed about their service.

BREAKING: munkdebate is hosting a “debate” on the two-state solution, Israel vs Israel: Zionists Olmert/Livni vs. Zionists Oren/Shaked— while 🇮🇱 is 2+ yrs into its genocide of the Palestinian people. This isn’t a debate, it’s a PR operation for a genocidal regime in free-fall.🧵

No Palestinians. No genocide survivors. Just Israeli officials discussing how to manage, maintain, and cosmetically re-brand a system of domination. But make no mistake: only Palestinians get to define the future of Palestine, not the political architects of their dispossession.

The lineup (a real who’s-who of violence): -> Olmert: Annexation but make it “peace” -> Livni: Segregation to save a Jewish state -> Shaked: Open incitement against 🇵🇸, including kids -> Oren: Annexation hype-man The munkdebate didn’t stumble into this panel, they curated it.

And what exactly are they debating? Two-state solution? Dead. -> Settlements chopped the West Bank up years ago. -> Western governments cling to it because it serves Israel while they attempt to erase Palestinians. The Munk Debates is arguing over a corpse.

The Munk Debates is bankrolled by a foundation built on mining wealth & elite influence: branded as a 'public square' while functioning like a PR arm for establishment ideology. It’s not neutral, civic-minded, nor democratic. It’s elite-funded propaganda in debate-clothing.

And the timing? We are 2+ years into Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. Entire families wiped out. Universities levelled. Refugee camps bombed.

And the munkdebate decides now is the perfect moment to offer Israeli officials a polished stage to workshop narratives. This isn’t public discourse. It’s crisis management for an apartheid regime.

The Munk Debates keeps insisting it elevates “the world’s biggest ideas.” Apparently genocide apologia now qualifies as a big idea. Have you no shame? (Rhetorical. Obviously not.)

There is no “other side” to genocide, occupation, or ethnic cleansing. And there is nothing intellectual, courageous, or morally serious about debating Palestinian freedom without Palestinians. This is what happens when institutions mistake civility theatre for justice.

We demand: -> Public acknowledgement that 🇮🇱 is committing genocide -> An immediate end to fake, coloniser-only “debates” that attempt to define 🇵🇸 futures without Palestinian voices. Silencing the colonised while uplifting the colonisers is not neutrality, it’s grotesque.

To anyone who believes in liberation: apply pressure. Withdraw support. Call this what it is. And to the Munk Debates — from the bottom of our collective heart: fuck you! FREE PALESTINE!

Over 2 years into Israel’s genocide, expanded violence and land theft, munkdebate brings you a grotesque Israel vs. Israel debate to discuss if a “two-state solution” is good for Israel. Highly concerning information in the thread below 👇🏾

Say no to U.S. threats and interference in Honduran elections!! We recommend reading this communique from HSN

When governments flip direction every cycle, long term projects stall and public trust sinks. This is what first-past-the-post produces by design. Proportional representation creates stable majorities that support consistent long term policy.

Because we hate the poor and refuse to fund housing and social supports over cops
