A year ago 6 year old Hind Rajab was murdered by Israeli soldiers. A couple of days ago two year old Layla Khateeb (same first name as my daughter) was killed in Jenin in cold blood. This poem is for Layla & for the thousands of children killed by the genocidal Israeli government

Why does every single narrative about any-effing-thing emerging from the US-pipeline have to be a 'war' trope, have to be about the 'win' US can score?
There are multiple other ways to relate to our world.

I have been appalled & disgusted by the silence of academic colleauges on the genocide in Gaza (but not surprised). So I expect little from them. For everyone else who cares about knowledge, humanity & truth, this is an powerful film on the scholasticide perpetrated by Israel youtu.be/G5MmIDc1LXE

Challenging Canadian Complicity in Israeli Apartheid πWednesday December 4 π«7pm-9pm (doors at 6:30pm) πSaint Paul University Amphitheatre, 223 Main St. The Education for Liberation Collective invites you to a popular education event designed to help us better understand the political, institutional, and corporate connections that sustain Canada's complicity in Israeli apartheid. The event will speak to the following key questions: - Why does Canada choose to maintain its complicity in Israeli apartheid? - What are concrete examples of complicity in the Canadian economy, arts and culture, and beyond? - What are some local strategies and opportunities to join together to collectively challenge this complicity?
Iβm co-organizing this event with some amazing people.
If youβre in Ottawa, weβd love to see you at the event in-person. You can also register to attend virtually/online.
