🧵Crucial for Global Affairs Canada & Mélanie Joly to review damning evidence in a new Human Rights Watch report of unprecedented settler violence in the West Bank since Oct 7. Spoiler: the Israeli military either participated in or didn't protect Palestinians from attacks. hrw.org/news/2024/04/1…

I've been writing to him since 2023, in the hopes that, I don't know, he would hear something.
This is how that went: 🧵
