She was there to prevent militant settlers attacking and burning Palestinian homes and agriculture. She was shot in the head by Israeli soldiers protecting the settlers


Turkish American peace activist was murdered in cold blood by IDF with a shot on the head.

Do not expect Biden, Blinken or WH press secretary calling her an American hero and her murderers for barbarians and calling for sanctions of IDF for their criminal actions in occupied West Bank.

Not all Americans are treated equally. She didn't go there to kill Palestinian children. So her death will not be called "heroic" and the murderers to be held accountable.

On Tuesday Rafat and Nurs Abu Al-Kian, #Arab residents of the Negev with #Israel citizenship, made their way from their home to #Jerusalem, Dekal, Highway 60. Near the village of Khirbat Karma, soldiers stopped them and ordered them to get out of their vehicle while holding weapons to their heads, after which they were brutally beaten.

We will not lie


The Alberta government tried to claim the electric utilities had asked for their idiotic and harmful moratorium on renewable energy, but the reverse was true.

The CEO Mark Law who pushed back has now been forced out.

Before this moratorium which was followed by severe restrictions on solar and wind, Alberta was leading the country in renewable energy.

Two festivals in Edmonton Alberta Canada on Saturday


VegFest (vegan and animal rights lifestyle, tables, food, and speakers) and the Peace and Unity Festival (tables, song, poems, dance from different ethnic groups and supporters of migrants). The latter was forced to shutdown in the middle of the original event back in June when the community league called police claiming that their Palestinian and non-Zionist Jewish contributers were "hate speech". Outrageous but got little notice. This time in a different community hall it went without incident. Some very moving performers.

The Israeli army has attacked a queue of people buying bread in front of a shelter for displaced Palestinians in the Jabalia refugee camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, killing at least five and injuring several others.

Canadian labour leader pressured to resign for anti-Israel post


Fred Hahn, President of CUPE Ontario and a long-time supporter of Palestinian rights, has been slandered by pro-Israel groups and Canadian politicians as "antisemitic" following a post he made on social media criticizing the involvement of Israeli athletes who served in the Israeli army in the Paris Olympics.

Despite reiterating that his "intent was never to associate Jewish people with the violence enacted by the state of Israel," the CUPE National Executive Board has called for Hahn to resign from his position as VP.

Support Capital Pride in their solidarity with Palestine


On August 6, Capital Pride, the LGBTQ2S+ organization that organizes Ottawa's annual pride parade, released a statement expressing solidarity with Palestine.

Following their statement, Capital Pride was slandered by pro-Israel groups, who falsely claimed that the statement was exclusionary and antisemitic, making some in the community unwelcome.

Following their lead, the Liberal Party of Canada, the University of Ottawa, the Bank of Canada, and the Ottawa Hospital, among other institutions, have shamefully decided to withdraw their participation.

Basic Income study: What was the effect of giving 1000 poor people in Texas and Illinois an extra $1000/month?


I'm not usually a fan of Sam Altman, but this is something cool he funded.

This study gave 1,000 people in Texas and Illinois $1,000/month over 3 years and collected large amounts of data on employment, health, housing, schooling, time use, entrepreneurship, and more.

The results are remarkable, a very strong argument for universal basic income.

I'm at big name pharmacy, asking for a quick covid test because I have symptoms. The pharmacist tells me almost nobody has had any for a while...

Not even if you pay for it... Just unavailable. She tells me they treat it like something you take Tylenol for so no tests...

Outrageous
