UNICEF: "Food, water, medicines, everything for a child to survive is being blocked, and in many ways boastfully blocked." "So the only thing entering Gaza right now is bombs." "This is ... a profound moral collapse. And no one is going to escape the cost of this indifference."

My interview at Open Book is now up!

Looking forward to this one, Lake Burntshore, a novel by Aaron Kreuter (ECW Press )

Since the early hours of the morning, Israel killed 115 people in Gaza. It’s still 3:40pm local time.

600 PALESTINIANS WERE KILLED OR INJURED IN THE LAST 24 HOURS IN GAZA.

Read this. It's remarkable. The UN is begging - literally begging - Israel to allow it to deliver to Gaza 160,000 pallets of food aid it has ready to go. Israel will not allow that. There is only one inescapable conclusion: Israel is deliberately starving Gaza to death.

As half a million Palestinians in Gaza face “catastrophic” levels of hunger, I can’t help but think of James Daschuk’s seminal work on how the Canadian government used starvation as a tool to ethnically cleanse the prairies of Indigenous populations. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/when-c…

Five days ago, Edan Alexander was released. It was widely covered. Since then, Israel murdered over 400 people, among them were eleven entire families. Yes, both parents and their kids. This is barely covered.

I just went back to count and found out that Israel murdered over 500 human beings in Gaza just in the past 72 hours.

My online convo with Jen Sookfong Lee is tomorrow at 7 PM EST. We'll be talking novels, publishing, antizionism, whatever comes up! Register here: eventbrite.ca/e/aaron-kreute…

The world has failed miserably today, every day.

In the wake of that bonkers AI-generated reading list that circulated last month, I asked Canadian authors, poets and illustrators to recommend one piece of fiction they recommend reading this summer. thestar.com/entertainment/…

You get the vibe that Silicon Valley is working very, very hard to abolish the human being. Whereas I like human beings, I like them a great deal.

Powerful piece from decorated journalist (and former Star columnist) Michele Landsberg, who has been protesting Israel's occupation of Palestine for almost four decades. She's 85 now and still organizing. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Can't wait for this.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).” Israel has dropped ~80,000 tons of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 8 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey.
