NEW: Canada starved Indigenous children, and is now failing to prevent history from repeating itself in Gaza, writes Dr. Suzanne Shoush.

🚨Smotrich: Gaza Aid Is Just Enough to Avoid ‘War Crimes’ Charges While We ‘Annihilate’ the Strip
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich gave a speech Monday defending Israel’s strategy of mass devastation in Gaza, saying humanitarian aid is only being allowed in “so the world does not stop us and accuse us of war crimes.” The goal, he insisted, is to “conquer, clear, and stay” until Gaza is dismantled beyond recognition.
▪️ On aid, Smotrich said only the care minimum will be allowed: “A few bakeries distributing pitas… a daily portion of cooked food. Citizens in Gaza will get a pita and a plate of food, and that’s it. That’s exactly what we see in the videos—people standing in line, waiting for a plate of soup.” The purpose, he admitted, is not relief but optics: “It allows the world to continue providing us with international protection.”
▪️ “We are annihilating everything that remains in the Strip,” he declared, “simply because it is one big city of terror.” He described the new military strategy as one of permanent occupation: “No more raids with ins and outs… we are conquering, clearing, and staying until Hamas is destroyed.”
▪️ He welcomed the shift toward targeting Gaza’s civil infrastructure: “The IDF is finally conducting a campaign against the civilian rule of Hamas… eliminating ministers, officials, money changers, and figures in the economic and governmental apparatus.”
▪️ Boasting of the scale of destruction, Smotrich said: “We are dismantling Gaza, leaving it in ruins with unprecedented destruction, and the world still hasn’t stopped us.”
▪️ He added that, personally, he would prefer a total blockade: “Until the last of the hostages returns, we should also not let water into the Gaza Strip.”
▪️ Smotrich endorsed ethnic cleansing as official policy: “The population will reach the south of the Strip, and from there, God willing, to third countries, as part of President Trump’s plan.”

An event featuring a panel of Israeli soldiers is scheduled to happen in the Toronto area this week - the second such event in as many months.
@ICJPalestine-Canada has filed a complaint with @CanBorder requesting that the soldiers be denied entry to Canada. Here is why. 🧵 1/7

“israel” was not “singled out” — this radiologist is lying. Zionist racism and exceptionalism has allowed him to completely erase atrocities committed on the African continent (eg 🇸🇩🇨🇩)
Anti-Palestinian racism amongst medical experts in Canada has been highlighted all month,

The impunity afforded to Israel has atrocious consequences for the people of Palestine, but also to human rights everywhere. We are seeing the same crimes perpetrated at an alarming rate in other countries. Just look up trends in attacks on healthcare, journalists, schools. Act!
The tiny bodies of children in Gaza, hollowed out by induced starvation, are testimony of the worst humanity is capable of.
It is time to impose an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel, and urgently deploy a protection presence made of friendly soldiers (not from states who have supported the genocide).
It is time for the UNGA to act under "Uniting for Peace" resolution.

When it comes to the genocide in Palestine, the silence of most medical and academic institutions has been appalling. Heartfelt support to these students who are engaging in their work with courage and integrity.

After endless efforts by @UofT @UofT_dlsph to censor and cancel this event, these students of conscious are finally presenting their research on the silence of 🇨🇦 public & global health schools during the genocide in 🇵🇸
Kudos to these courageous students for continuing to speak even when their school has tried to silence them. ❤️
I wish these schools would put as much effort into respecting academic freedom & human rights & ending their involvement in genocide as they put into silencing their students’ and faculty‘s speech on Palestine.
Follow @UTPH4P for updates and register for their presentation here 👇🏾

Unity Health is one of the largest hospital networks in Canada. Unfortunately, it has been complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza by suppressing anti-genocide voices, and promoting misinformation and anti-Palestinian Racism.

This Gaza Emergency Water Relief Project is organized by Glia and sponsored by HAP.
In Gaza City, clean drinking water is dangerously scarce.
There was an emergency call for water, and
12000 litres have already been provided by this project.

I reflect about this often and think about how the global medical community generally, and children’s hospitals specifically, have been silent and even complicit in the mass murder and maiming of children and the systematic targeting of healthcare the past 15+ months. One day…
As an Italian, this is one of the most important realisations of having grown up educated about the horrors and crimes of the Holocaust. Never again starts with not dehumanising the Other. No one, ever. Thank you @omarelakkad for putting this into words.
