"I’m painfully aware that every time I talk about our shortcomings when covering Palestine...I lose 'credibility.' I silently agreed not to talk about Palestine in exchange for a 'viable' career in journalism. No longer." My Toronto Star op-ed today: thestar.com/news/insight/t…

Dozens of Canadian authors have called on the Giller Prize to cut ties with Scotiabank and other sponsors invested in the occupation of Palestine. In private emails viewed by the Star, the Giller's director described the campaign as "pure antisemitism." thestar.com/entertainment/…

I have written to the @gillerprize to request that my name, image and work be removed entirely from the their website and all related material and videos. My work will no longer be submitted. I thank them in advance for respecting my wishes.

legacy media refuses to write about the ways the culture sector is materially invested in Palestinian death, and has instead churned a year + of these asinine articles about "discord" and "division" in arts communities theglobeandmail.com/arts/article-h…

Dorgham Qreaiqea, a young artist in Gaza we've been talking to for an art show in NYC, was murdered last night with his family during Israel's genocidal bombing. Lets celebrate his life, artwork, and the aid work for children he organized so he can live on. Glory to the martyrs💔

The momentum is growing. Over 100 federal candidates have endorsed the #PalestinePlatform. Canadian politicians are understanding that it's time to concede to the demands of the people. Have your candidates endorsed the platform? VotePalestine.ca/candidates #cdnpoli

One year ago, I spoke to Sarah Polley, Wanda Nanibush and Ibrahim Abusitta about why it's imperative that Canadian artists to speak out about the dozens of poets, writers and painters killed by Israel's war on Gaza. (TOPalestineFilmFestival) thestar.com/entertainment/…

According to the latest official report, at least 45 writers and artists had been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, and 32 cultural centres and 12 museums had been destroyed. The actual toll is believed to be far higher. aljazeera.com/features/2025/….

Exactly this. It’s not just the abject racism and denigration of Palestinian life, it’s the demand for care and for the perpetrators and supporters of genocide so they feel safe and supported. What a travesty.
