“Oh occupier, the land is ours, history is ours and the roots are ours.”
This Palestinian girl in Gaza shares a powerful message to Israeli forces as she returns home after the ceasefire.
Robert Everett-Green retweeted
Once the ceasefire goes into effect on Sunday, millions in Gaza will try to return to their homes. This is what they’ll find: 50.8 million metric tons of rubble littered with unexploded ordnance, toxic waste and asbestos. Evil on a dystopian scale.

“The IDF is also issuing leather-free combat boots and wool-free berets to soldiers who register as vegan, so they can march into battle knowing that no living creature has been harmed in their provisioning.”

The full speech that Speaker of the Knesset did not allow me to complete
Robert Everett-Green retweeted
Wow @melaniejoly @CanadaFP and co. cancelled meetings with @FranceskAlbs, yet our government finds time to hear from the likes of Eylon Levy who was fired from his spokesperson position in Israel?
History will remember 🇨🇦 leaders and their support of the genocide of Palestinians. @JustinTrudeau @Rob_Oliphant @HonAhmedHussen @cafreeland
#AxisofGenocide #FreePalestine
Powerful address by @FranceskAlbs
- Why didn’t Foreign Minister @melaniejoly meet with her?
- What are the government and pro-Israel groups afraid of?
- Why is there such strong enthusiasm and excitement among university students for her visits?

These are not fighters, these are doctors and nurses , These are the medical staff at Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Tonight’s vote in Israel to ban UNRWA is disastrous and shameful. It’ll go down in history as the moment Israel voted to cut off an irreplaceable humanitarian pipeline to a humanitarian disaster zone.

Breaking:
This is a new evacuation order. This is genocidal.
They are telling people who are staying in hospitals and schools in North Gaza that these are military zones and no one should be there.
This is extermination.
Please amplify.

Wow. I can't believe they let her say this on cable news. Listen in full and share broadly.

Israel has killed at least 128 journalists since Oct 7, more journalists than have died in the course of any year since @pressfreedom began documenting journalist killings in 1992.

Beirut now; they are carpet bombing the city.
100,000 people fled to Beirut from the South in search of safety
Robert Everett-Green retweeted
Oh my my my. This is Lebanon just now.
At least 6 towering residential buildings have been leveled to the ground.
Filled with people.

To @nytimes: I’ve seen these apartment buildings. They housed hundreds of civilians..
You’re committing journalistic malpractice every day by accepting the Israeli military’s narrative that it is targeting Hezbollah by demolishing apartment blocks with 2000-pound US-made bombs.

They’re bombing Rafah again hours after apologising for bombing Rafah. There is no bottom to their depravity. They will tell the Western media whatever they want and it’ll be platformed unquestioningly while they do the exact opposite under cover of media spin.

Car bloat - the continually expanding size of the typical automobile - is killing our cities. Bloated cars and trucks are compromising our air quality, stealing space, contributing to congestion, making our kids and seniors unsafe - it's a disaster on wheels.
Changes to public policy - outlined in the article below - got us to this point. The fix: changes to public policy.
Restrict vehicle sizes in cities other than for commercial purposes, charge these road hogs higher taxes, and significantly restrict where they can park.
There are things we can do to take back our cities.

"The market value of the biggest US weapons manufacturers increased by over 23 billion dollars after the 7th of Oct. It is undeniable that the US profits from war. Throughout its entire history, there are only 15 years in which the US has not been at war with another country."
In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.
