Greta Thunberg gives her first words after she was released from Israeli prison where she was beat and forced to kiss the Israeli flag. She says the story is not about them, the story is about Gaza.

On Wednesday, The Globe and Mail edited an article to remove the statement that there is “forced starvation” in Gaza.
Today, the UN declared “famine” in Gaza that is a “man-made disaster.”
Is the Globe going to listen to the UN or Israel lobby groups?

Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”.
This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate collapse of the systems needed for human survival. People are starving. Children are dying. And those with the duty to act are failing. As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law — including the duty of ensuring food and medical supplies of the population. We cannot allow this situation to continue with impunity.
No more excuses. The time for action is not tomorrow — it is now. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and full, unfettered humanitarian access.
BREAKING: At least 64 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn on Wednesday, including 19 aid seekers, medical sources tell Al Jazeera.

Canadian Jews say, stop sportswashing genocide! Halifax and Canada must refuse to host Team Israel, set to play at the Davis Cup in September. Israeli athletes representing a country committing war crimes are not welcome here.

Between his crypto ventures, real estate deals, and licensing agreements, Trump and his family have profited off the presidency to the tune of $3.4 billion.
The grifter-in-chief knows no bounds.
We must not become numb to this.

“I used to hear the sounds of your purrs louder in my ears than the buzzing of drones..”
A Palestinian child sobs over Leo, the third one of his cats who died amidst the Israeli war of genocide and starvation on the Gaza Strip.

Doctors fear that even if aid reaches Gaza’s starving children, it may come too late to save them from irreversible harm. The UN warns Israel has pushed Gaza to the ‘brink of full-scale famine’, as Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili explains.

“I'm breaking, just like Gaza is breaking now.”
Our reporters in Gaza are struggling to find food because of Israel's blockade on vital aid. Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud shows us what life in Gaza is like when he steps away from the camera ⤵️

Dear @CBCNews,
Canadians would love to hear about Bonnie Critchley who is running as an Independent in Battle River - Crowfoot. This is a highly watched by-election. We need to know.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's path back to the House of Commons runs through a rural Alberta riding that has become a hotbed for Western discontent and the independence movement. cbc.ca/news/politics/poiliev…

Does he look like a military target? What was his crime? Having been born in Iran?
6-year-old Yasin Molaei and his mother were killed in an #Israel airstrike on their car in Kermanshah, western #Iran.

Apparently Iran cannot be trusted with powerful weapons. Which totally makes sense since they haven't attacked a single country in 300 years and Israel has attacked five in one year

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!
For the public radio host in Brad’s actual home province who thinks it’s Mar-SHAND. If you don’t know something, look it up. Please.
Not messing with you. We do a "horse's mouth" pronunciation guide each season. This is how Brad Marchand wants his name pronounced: Mar-shond. We will honor that. It's his, his wife's, and his child's name.
See you tomorrow night on NESN.

Canada may not be leading this war on Iran, but it is complicit. And that complicity is precisely where our opposition must begin. #NoWarWithIran
