A pro-Israel student group in Toronto, Canada, says its event with IDF veterans was “stormed” by anti-Israel protesters, causing injuries.
Student Supporting Israel at Toronto Metropolitan University posts videos on social media showing the altercation between the pro-Israel students and masked protesters at the off-campus event at which former IDF soldiers were due to speak.
An anti-Israel activist chants, “We refuse to allow war criminals in our city,” while the pro-Israel students shout, “Get out,” and “Call 911.”
This story is so twisted. A Toronto student group hosted an event to celebrate literal members of the IDF (aka war criminals) and now they are claiming to be victims because they were protested.
It isn’t + never will be antisemitic to decry Israeli genocide or to hold those responsible accountable.

Fifa banned Russia from international football. Now it must do the same for Israel
As Israel inflicts untold misery on Palestinians, it is time for football’s governing bodies to stand by the principles they claim to uphold
In The Guardian, Jules Boykoff argues FIFA betrayed its human rights commitments by failing to suspend Israel over Gaza, citing UN genocide findings, illegal settlement clubs, racism, and the killing of Palestinian athletes like Suleiman Obeid.

El Jones: Halifax Regional Council has invested $50,000 into the Canada-Israel Davis cup match in order to “put heads in beds,” even as the heads of Palestinian children are being exploded in their beds in Gaza.

Shame on Tennis Canada - so embarrassing that they don’t realize that sport has always been political- it is a human invention after all!

Far too often National Sports Organizations succumb to this sort of hypocrisy. Some people's human rights are valued more than others. Some are accorded humanity, some are not. It's blatant discrimination.

By making Adam van Koeverden the Minister of Sport, the Carney government has done abuse survivors a grave disservice and put meaningful, sustainable change on hold. Poor start to the sport portfolio.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

Yes, elbows up and all that. But let's continue to work against racism and violence against all Canadians.
Because it doesn't matter how high your elbows are when someone's trying to light your hijab on fire.

As a human rights scholar, I've read countless reports where both Western media + prominent human rights organizations term this as an "enforced disappearance" when this happens in other countries. Wild (and completely unsurprising) how the same terminology is missing when it's happening in the US
