A must watch.
Here on Israeli TV we have blatant racism and extreme dehumanizing rhetoric against Palestinians.
And exhortations for more war crimes against civilians to 'finish the job'.
But western reporters and politicians still refuse to use the term "genocide". Or take action to #StopIsrael.
Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social
These young people are going to Gaza to try and stop the murder of children.
That they have to put their live on the line reflects the absolute failure of the west, the G7, Canada.
Call the Israeli embassy and warn them not to harm these children.
The world watches.
Absolutely. The world watches. There are reports now that a drone is seen circling above them. The threats against them are real.

We provided a diagnosis - genocide.
We provided a prescription to end the genocide - for Canada to end its complicity and direct involvement in Israelโs crimes now.

Then they came for our funding, and there was no one left to stand up for us.
Trump makes it clear that the tariffs are about annexation.
Have no illusions. This is not about tariffs, it is about our sovereignty. Vimy or Vichy ๐จ๐ฆ, choose.

Better air quality = fewer illnesses = fewer school staff and student sick days = cost savings and better learning.
Better air quality = better focus = higher test scores.

I think some people hear โgrantsโ and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

Remember ahead of this snap election that Doug Ford promised to fix #LTC after the horrific military reports were leaked in 2020 and instead, he just passed the MOST HARMFUL & EXPLOITIVE STAFFING REGULATION TO DATE.

Great reporting. The Israeli army said that most people killed in bombing a Beirut apartment block were Hezbollah. The BBC found that nearly all were in fact civilians, and a third were children. www.bbc.com/news/article...
