An entire family of 23 people was wiped out in an #Israel’i airstrike on the north #Lebanon christian village of Aito yesterday. They had fled the bombing in the south, taking refuge here. Two of them were babies. Only pieces of these human beings are left.

Presse Internationale has been on Bloor St W for almost two decades. It’s a small business that helps to create a thriving main street, but next month it is closing because of an unaffordable $4,000 rent hike. It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s time to look into commercial

A friend asked “why now” on the Samidoun ban. Samidoun is one of the most prominent organizations getting information about Palestinian prisoners’ conditions in Israeli prisons out and to the public. There is a hope that silencing them will curb criticism of Israel.

The State Department itself has publicly referenced Samidoun’s reports as reputable in their own human rights policy documents as recently as two years ago.

The State Department didn’t consider Samidoun a “terrorist organization” in 2022. Someone ask Matthew Miller about this.

The once welcoming community of Kitchener-Waterloo has seen a disturbing rise in hate, particularly against people of colour. Here’s a personal account of what I experienced today: A random woman gave me the finger & spewed hate while I was out for a walk at Erb/Avondale 🧵 1/n

Sami Baaj 🇨🇦🇫🇷🇸🇾 Thanks for your support Sami, what usually happens to you online is happening more and more often in real life to me and it has to STOP! First few times I was shocked and shaken, now since its a recurring occurrence I can be composed and record such incidents 😢

BREAKING: Ahmed Kaheil, the mayor of the city of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, has been killed along with five other employees of the municipality in an Israeli airstrike targeting the headquarters of the Nabatieh municipality.

Something about how the NYer review of the Coates book might make a lot of good and valid points about the book--I haven't read it, so I can't say--and yet doesn't quite earn, or explain, the dismissiveness with which it disposes of the book's author.

After 13K likes and 5.4K retweets, I guess Mister Free Speech had enough and his website locked me out of my account, claiming that sharing this horrifying picture, which is going to be on the covers of history books even as it is being ignored by the media now, is “gratuitous”

The objective in Lebanon is the same as in Palestine. Complete pulverisation. This is the village of Mahbib, in southern Lebanon. Filled with explosive and detonated by the Israeli military. A village in its entirety.

Recall: We reported last year that Indian officials — apparently including Modi — did not deny these allegations when pressed in meetings by Trudeau. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

And not to put too fine a point on it, but the New Yorker did not review Isabella Hammad's novel *Enter Ghost* when it came out in April of this year. The reason they did not review it (or "Recognizing the Stranger") was not that Ta Nehisi Coates' face "filled up the screen."

"I wonder where UNESCO is as Israel destroys ancient monuments in Gaza and Lebanon."

NEW: The number of Palestinian children in administrative detention has dramatically increased over the last year as Israeli forces intensify arrest operations in the occupied West Bank. ow.ly/IfYC50TMBx9

Al-Najda Hospital in Nabatiyeh ( secours populaire libanais) is in a dire situation due to the exhaustion of their medical staff. They are requesting our support in: Neurosurgery. General surgery. Orthopedics. Anesthesia & ICU

Looks like Noah blocked me for pointing out that his racist, evidence-free tweet about how "Palestine people ... lie all the time," in regards to Gazan children being shot in the head, was proved entirely wrong. Looks like he still has the tweet up.

Line in The New York Times piece about roads. "Israel’s government has encouraged Jewish civilians to move to settlements in the enclave, which most of the world considers illegal under international law." They are illegal under international law. It's not a matter of opinion.

Trudeau says he has the names of Conservative parliamentarians who are involved in foreign interference. In explosive testimony before the foreign interference inquiry today, Trudeau said he has instructed CSIS to warn #CPC Leader Poilievre and protect the party's integrity.
