EXCLUSIVE: Hundreds of Jewish Health Professionals Say 'End the Genocide' in Gaza "To be silent is to be complicit," the healthcare workers write in an open letter.

News: Hundreds of Jewish healthcare workers from around the US and beyond are circulating a letter demanding an “end to the genocide in Gaza.”

They “reject the weaponization of accusations of antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel and expressions of solidarity with Palestinians.”

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

Footage has been shared on social media showing Israeli air attacks using ‘bunker busters’ to strike what the Israeli military said was an underground Hezbollah site. At least one person was killed and 20 people were wounded, say authorities.

U.S. Troops Are Being Attacked Every Other Day in the Middle East As Trump talks of a ceasefire with the Houthis, soldiers in the Middle East have faced steady and seldom discussed attacks.

"The attacks on Yemen have continued with Israel and the United Kingdom joining in the bombardment. More than a month after Trump’s bellicose boasts, however, the Houthis have continued to strike at U.S. military personnel, just as they and militant groups across the Middle East have done"

The truth is the election shows that Canada is incredibly conservative and right wing. “Lefts” will have to tell a better and more persuasive story if Canada is to survive not tipping over into authoritarianism next election. That is the story today for me.
