I am so worried and fearful for the safety of our students. I am also so proud of them, for their principled and committed politics for justice. Shame on all the complicit enablers of state violence and dehumanizing rhetoric that has lead to this moment. Your hands are bloody.

The masks are coming completely off. This is about western powers that have a vested interest in a colonial project fuelling on ongoing Nakba but also their own domestic interests in the military industrial complex and a police state that doesn’t serve community wellbeing at all.

The police, the state, and its institutions are doing everything they can to maintain a system of dominance over students that want to see a world without genocide and apartheid funded by western settler colonial powers. We must protect our students.

About an hour ago, tents started to go up at #UOttawa Gaza sit-in (now encampment).

Despite the documented starvation deaths of dozens of children and the ongoing warnings about famine conditions created by Israeli policies, the issue of famine in Gaza has largely dropped from the headlines. Join us today at 11 AM for this talk about famine in #Gaza 👇🏽

We are witnessing a great bifurcation of western societies between (1)those who oppose apartheid, settler colonialism & genocide on human rights grounds & (2)those who defend these crimes on the basis of political ideology, ethno-chauvinism or personal benefit. #choose #Palestine

Everyone has a role to play in the struggle against injustice, oppression, and the dehumanization of others.

This is beautiful. Those whose land McGill sits on is give permission to the protesters to be on it.

One of the most profoundly beautiful acts of solidarity I've seen: the indigenous guardians of the land that the McGill University occupies have given the students the right to setup their encampments on the land in fighting for a Palestine free from occupation and genocide❤️‍🔥

“We grant the full right to those who are occupying McGill & other campuses throughout Turtle Island to be upon the said lands, with the expressed intent of engaging their administrations to divest from the colonial genocide of israel upon the Palestinian People.”

One of the most significant statements made by the traditional council of Kahnawake who have confirmed that students have the right to be on this land in accordance with the Two Row Wampum Peace Treaty

I am so ashamed of these spineless 'leaders.' They will go down in the history books as genocide enablers.

My retirement project will be to help expose each one of these despicable beings at Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa York University (schools I am connected with) and Canadian politicians and

The student demands of Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa. The ask is simple - transparency and accountability as a public university on investments, to not be complicit in genocide and apartheid with said investments, and acknowledge anti-Palestinian racism. Very decent and basic things.

Today I asked the University of Ottawa to divest any of its funds with links to military actions in Gaza.

Thanks so much to the students I met today on #uOttawa campus for their leadership. #onpoli
