I just got kicked out of Tillicum Centre(Mall) in #Saanich. For slapping 4 #BoycottIsraelApartheid stickers on #Starbucks doors & windows. I'll just plaster other locations ✌️🍉🇵🇸🍉☮️
An #Ontario#university is the first major educational institution in #Canada to reach an #agreement with on-campus protestors and vows not to invest in companies benefitting from the war in #Gaza.
A poster was shared on social media to promote the protest. A description of the event said protesters were "delivering a message to #McGill administration that we refuse to stand by quietly while they remain complicit in #genocide."
Reminder that one of the most impactful, but also simplest, individual actions you can take is to check whether your retirement savings, or any investments, are supporting the genocidal regime.
And then move them to a fund that doesn't.
It worked against apartheid South Africa.
It will work again.
#AntiWar#activists in #Canada warn that the procurement also directly helps to fund Israel’s #WarIndustry, which equips the Israeli military in its ongoing war on Gaza.
This reminds us that #policing - in #SettlerColonial societies like Canada - has always been a central force for dispossession, displacement & containment.
Some of the connections are longstanding, but have been the subject of very little public scrutiny. For example, 32 [#Canadian chiefs of police travelled to Israel in 2005, to attend events hosted by the #Israeli#Police and the Israeli Ministry of Internal Security. A few months later, 39 police chiefs made another trip to #Israel.]
#Ontario contingent was headed by #YorkRegionalPolice Chief Armand LaBarge, #OPP Commissioner Gwen Boniface, Emergency Management Commissioner Julian Fantino & representatives of #OntarioPoliceCollege. While in #Israel, they attended police field units, #Israeli border police, #AntiTerrorist units & a rehab centre for injured police officers.
Flimsy Lindsay faces fury after buckling to Starmer’s demands to allow debate on Labour’s motion on an SNP Opposition Day in an attempt to upstage the SNP and see off a rebellion from Labour MPs disgusted by Starmer’s pro Israel genocide position.
Leader of the House Penny Mordaunt making hay with Labour’s schisms lambasting flimsy Lindsay for inserting himself into the internal rows within Labour — propping up a weak Leader of the Opposition who hasn’t got a clue what he stands for.
Declares that the Government will withdraw its amendment and from further participation in this debate on the SNP’s Motion for a ceasefire in Gaza because Hoyle has made a mockery of the process.
A seismic change in US policy towards Israel — brought about by millions of ordinary people around the world rising up against Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Never ever doubt the power of protest — this kind of change is why conservatives (both small and large C) feel compelled to crush all protest.
If #Israel's goal in mass-murdering #Palestinians was to turn the entire world against it, then I'd say they've been wildly successful. 🤨
And in case you aren't aware, most of Palestinians' dead are not Hamas militants, but children & other non-combatants. And they are dying at a rate of 22 to 1 compared with those killed by Hamas's attack on Israel.
Israel is a murderous terrorist state. Has been since the world made the huge post war mistake in caving to Jewish terrorists and allowing Palestinians to be dispossessed and murdered in their millions ever since.
A six-year-old girl who was recorded begging rescuers to save her after an attack in Gaza has been found dead with five of her relatives and the two ambulance workers who went to save her
