This morning at the debate on Toronto's proposed bubble zone bylaw, Councillor James Pasternak presented this video as an example of the type of activity he would like to prohibit in our city. I was protesting being denied entry to my childhood synagogue for wearing a tshirt.

Activists blocked the Ontario Food Terminal early morning may 25. The truck lines resembled the aid trucks held outside of Gazaz preventing the needed delivery of life saving supplies. They demand real action and sanctions from the Canadian government instead of lip service.

❌BREAKING ❌— 🇮🇹 Italian lawyers take legal action against Italian government for ongoing collaboration with Israel, including its legal defense. Under int'l law—and Italian Constitution—Israel must suspend the MoU. Italians must make sure their gov acts accordingly.

Video from the blockade of the Ontario Food Terminal, which has millions of dollars of Israeli produce come through it each year. Canada must cut ties with and sanction Israel to ensure it upholds the principals of international law we claim to hold dear.

While genocide rages on in Palestine , Toronto’s Casa Loma hosted Gilad Erdan (former UN ambassador) and called him a “beacon of moral courage.” Protestors were shoved, injured, and mocked. Some attendees laughed at photos of murdered children. The world must not look away.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately. Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived. They are demanding action from Mark Carney. Their testimony is our failure.

Hey Mayor @OliviaChow, this is clearly ridiculous and needs to be immediately repealed. Protesting the sale of real estate in the occupied West Bank cannot be shielded because it is held at a place of worship. The lobbying that caused this to happen clearly over reached. This

As health care workers worldwide risk arrest or their career to end 🇮🇱 brutality, Mark Carney and Anita Anand still havent sanctioned any politicians, or ended diplomatic relations. Time for action is now.

If past atrocities had taught us anything, it’s that the problem is never just "the leader". Look at those who follow him. The hands that clap. The mouths that incite. The bodies that obey. And above all, those who could stop it—and choose silence instead.

Last week, we protested the so-called "dementia-focused event" with the Israeli Consulate, and it was a spectacular failure for its sponsors. Our silent protest exposed the moral rot at the heart of this "health diplomacy and science-washing" charade.

📍NEW: A York Region DSB elementary school teacher is wearing his Israeli army uniform to the Elementary Educators annual meeting — Golani Brigade patch is on it. His name is Ellie Morin. This is outrageous. How can Palestinian families feel safe sending their kids to his classroom? #ONpoli
