Today, two dozen boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla Commentary carrying desperately needed humanitarian aid for Gaza, where Israel is deliberately deploying famine as a weapon of war and a mode of genocide, departed from Barcelona with >300 on board. Another cohort launches from Tunis on Sept 4.

As workers in Canada celebrate the Labour Day long weekend, Palestinians workers are fighting for their lives. Workers in Gaza are being murdered every day by the State of Israel, including five journalists on August 26th who were killed while reporting on an Israeli attack.

Brace yourself for the next stage of complicity, which will consist of a) we need confirmation from the ICJ, b) we didn’t know until now, c) we never said it wasn’t a possibility, d) we did everything we could, e) we need to focus on the future. All in the service of deniability

Over the past few months, BlackRock and other major investment firms have abandoned their commitments to green investments, saying explicitly that it's not profitable enough. Yes, renewables are cheap... but they are not nearly as profitable as fossil fuels. We need to

According to Vince Gasparro, opposing genocide is "contrary to Canadian values." We need to stop the influence of pro-Israel groups like CIJA who spends millions ensuring our government cares more about this than stopping the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

Canada's HMCS St. John's is presently off the coast of Portugal. Why won't Minister of National Defence David McGuinty and PM Mark Carney follow Italy's example and authorize it to assist Canadians aboard the humanitarian flotilla to Gaza?

Great to hear from Fórsa trade union member Donna en route to Gaza on the Global Sumud Flotilla Our members from Gaza's Healthcare Workers Union are calling on unions to build pressure on Israel to end the blockade and allow access for medical supplies. Solidarity!

The Gov't of Canada's pivot to self-congratulatory messaging is truly astounding when it continues to send arms to Israel, maintains normal diplomatic & trade relations w/ Israel, leaves Pal. students & family members waiting for visas, fails uphold international law, etc.🙇
