I try not to get too up and personal about identity — humour is my happy place. But something that happened in Dubai at my work, ~3 years ago, has replayed in my head many times.
So I finally decided to write about it.

“If we shall not end the occupation, we shall not have security,” warns Ami Ayalon, former head of Shin Bet, “and if we shall not end this occupation, we shall not have democracy.”
In an extraordinarily candid interview, Israel’s former internal security chief condemns what he calls Prime Minister Netanyahu’s “toxic leadership,” and argues that as the war continues, “we are losing our identity as people, as Jews, and as human beings.”
Watch our full conversation here.
This kinda feels like breaking news to me. Canada advises travellers to the UAE to exercise a high degree of caution 'due to the threat of terrorism.'

I'm normally a lurker on here but watching the collapse of ethics and standards of mainstream media this week w/ NYT's Anat Schwartz debacle and the coverage on Aaron Bushnell, it's absolutely enraging. Like how @CBC has not even covered Bushnell. This is our public broadcaster

Today, he has become an Arab for money.

B.C. Premier David Eby @Dave_Eby has removed Ms. Selina Robinson from her post as Minister.
We appreciate the engagement with his office and the decision to take action.

BC NDP Minister Selina Robinson using First Nations as a metaphor for Israel and Palestine:
“If there was a conflict between the Tsleil-Waututh and the Squamish Nations over a piece of land, would we weigh in?”
Wow, there’s a lot of unpack in that statement. 😲
