Wild new 'confidential' documents from BP.

Students camped at McGill to stop Israel's assault on Gaza have been smeared as “antisemitic,” “toxic,” and “violent.”

But what I’ve seen are Jews & Palestinians working together for the most profound principle of the Jewish tradition: liberation for all. breachmedia.ca/canadian-stude…

It’s important to talk about this distinction. It shows how people in power purposely create rules and laws that give them discretion, and they can use that discretion to harm you or even create a narrative of lawlessness or “breaking the law”. /4

Our reporters were gassed, assaulted and threatened with arrest. Myself and others were forced to vacate a building near the encampment after having been assured access by a vice chancellor so we could cover events safely. The same building was later used by police in their raid.

WE HAVE 48 HRS. PLEASE SIGN!!

Jewish Dartmouth professor Annelise Orleck (65) says yeah, I feel unsafe on campus.

But not because of my students and their Palestine protests, because of police who body slammed me on the ground and arrested me for protecting kids.

The most immoral army bombing unarmed innocent civilians- children being slaughtered
This is disturbing that western leaders continue to support this genocide
The suffering, displacement, starvation, carpet bombing destruction of hospitals schools homes
This is horrific #🇵🇸

As World Press Freedom Day draws to a close, we are taking a moment of silence to remember the 141 journalists and media workers killed by Israel as part of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Hala Rharrit is the first American diplomat to publicly resign over U.S. policy in Gaza.

In an exclusive televised interview, she explains to Democracy Now! why she could no longer work 'within the system' after her expertise was 'silenced' and 'sidelined.'

“I had never seen something like this.”

Experienced conflict zone doctors Ismail Mehr and Azeem Elahi have just returned from volunteering with Islamic Medical Association of North America at European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, where the healthcare system is barely functioning.

I just wrote a @CODEPINK letter: Tell 120+ University Admin to Divest From Israel!. Write one here: codepink.org/unisdivest?sou…

I visited the UBC encampment two days ago. It was calm and organized; students were practising de-escalation techniques. Thanks to students for protesting complicity of Canada and Canadian institutions in violations of international human rights law.

3) i believe in and actively want to see a free and liberated Palestine and believe Palestinian liberation is connected to our own decolonization as Indigenous peoples.
