This is Atara, a 19-year-old American from Texas who moved to Israel six years ago. She now lives as a settler in the occupied West Bank and calls for all Palestinians to be expelled from Gaza or killed.
Journalist:: “Where should the Palestinians in Gaza go?”
Atara: “Any of the Arab countries. I don’t care. Except Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Because those are ours. Or we’ll kill them.”

⭕️ Al Jazeera Undercover investigation exposes UK and Canadian funding of illegal Israeli settlements
An undercover investigation by @AJ_Investigates says it has uncovered evidence that charities and donors in the United Kingdom and Canada are helping channel tax-deductible donations to Israeli settler organizations in the occupied West Bank, despite laws prohibiting charitable funds from supporting illegal settlements.
Posing as prospective donors, Al Jazeera’s undercover reporter was allegedly told by pro-settler organisations that donations could be routed through registered charities before being used to expand settlements, campaign for the demolition of Palestinian homes, and provide military-grade equipment, including drones, to settlers.

Think about what it means to order the killing of your own soldiers in order to prevent them from becoming part of a prisoner exchange.
It means that Israeli officials consider it a higher priority to keep detaining Palestinian men, women, and children without charge than to release some in exchange for those soldiers.
That logic is so obviously inhumane that Israel officially ended the Hannibal Directive policy on paper, yet obviously kept it in practice, because we now have many different reports of it being implemented on October 7. And we also know that the bombing campaign was organized through 2023 and 2024 in a way that many Israeli officials understood to be highly likely to kill captives Israelis in Gaza, as +972 has exposed.

The NDP forced the Liberals to pass federal anti-scab legislation. But corporate giants are now exploiting a loophole to use outside managers as replacement workers. The law must stop employers from using scab labour. Period. Today I introduced Bill C-284 to close this loophole.

Según la Universidad de Brown, solo en Irak, Afganistán, Siria, Yemen y Pakistán, EEUU mató a más de 4,5 millones de personas, desplazaron a 60 millones de personas y provocaron 7,6 millones de niños hambrientos.
El 81% de las guerras desde 1945 fueron provocadas por EEUU... estos son los verdaderos millones de muertos que no te cuentan, los del capitalismo.

Tara moved to Israel five years ago from Texas.
Her message to the Palestinians living in Palestine is simple: 'Leave or we will kill you!'
Perhaps this conflict isn't that complicated after all...

Prime Minister Goldman Sachs claims to have “deep concern for the continued humanitarian crisis in Gaza”, yet he refuses to sanction Israel while imposing vast sanctions on Russia and Iran.
This is the fraudster who told the Davos crowd that Canada would apply the same standards to everyone.
Prime Minister Carney spoke with the President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, where he expressed deep concern over the continued humanitarian crisis in Gaza and underscored Canada’s unwavering support for a negotiated two-state solution. pm.gc.ca/en/news/readouts/20…

3/ In other words, Norway uses industry profits to support the public good. Prime Minister Carney’s fund uses public money to support private profits.
Half of Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque. We need our government to step up and actually govern.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.
Media giants are now threatening to do this.
We can't let this happen.
Pass it on.
