Report: Israel Lays Siege to Jenin Hospitals
The Israeli siege of the occupied West Bank is the largest Israeli military offensive there since the Second Intifada.
When Israeli forces invaded in 2002, the northern city of Jenin was subject to some of the worst violence, with the Israeli military killing dozens of civilians & destroying hundreds of homes.
Many of the same tactics are being repeated in this latest assault.

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.
Stand with Fred Hahn - Send a Message to CUPE Now!

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.

Sam Altman’s Basic Income Study — What The Facts Actually Tell Us
Basic income ended poverty, with minimal impact on work beyond single parents. People took risks to find better jobs, retrain, and escape abuse.www.ubiworks.ca
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

in reply to P Regina • • •ccing outline (last point is the answer, imo):
* Britain &, later, US created Israel for their own imperial interests;
* ww2 victors created the UN for their own interests & can veto UN decisions. US vetoes protect Israel;
* The UN relies on members to act on majority decisions, eg, sanction Israel;
* but many are client states of US, ie, won't sanction Israel - out of fear of retaliation via ISDS lawsuits.
