Secretive steps toward privatization of health care in Alberta, Canada by United Conservative Party government
Early this year, the government opted to pause the long-awaited renovation and expansion of the Airdrie's existing urgent care centre while they reviewed an undisclosed proposal to add One Healthโa private partnerโto the public facility. After much public outcry, the government announced the public project would resume. But mere weeks later, they confirmed they had quietly provided an $85,000 grant to One Health to develop a business plan for a new private health facility which would include a second urgent care centre in Airdrie. The full details of this proposal have still not been shared with the public.
...It sure looks like Airdrie is being used as the test case of a new for-profit model of acute care, which would be a major shift in how we deliver health care.

The #UNRWA flag on the school made it a target instead of protecting it from Israeli bombardment.
โFrom the beginning of this genocide โฆ [UNRWA] has been a target by the Israeli government for what it represents.โ
โUNRWA represents โฆ the right of return for the Palestinians refugees who were kicked out of their homes in 1948. So UNRWA represents a cause โ a right of return for refugees โ and this is what Israel has been trying to eliminate.โ

Israeli raids destroyed water supply for 35,000 Palestinians in #Jenin
45 homes were left โcompletely uninhabitableโ by Israeli forces, displacing 297 people, including 102 children.
Israeli bulldozers and heavy machinery tore up approximately 25 kilometres of roads, around 70 percent of all the cityโs roads.
The destruction of the roads also damaged underlying water and sewage pipes, leaving approximately 35,000 residents without a #water supply since August 28.

โฒ @prplcdclnw@diasp.eu:A Debate Tip for the Candidates โ Thereโs a Correct Answer on Weapons to Israel
The correct answer is this: The United States will abide by its own laws and policies on any weapons sent to any ally.
hrw.org/news/2024/09/10/debateโฆSeveral of those laws, and the policies that derive from them, curtail American weapons going to countries that have violated or are violating the rules governing war. The federal Foreign Assistance Act prohibits security assistance to any government that restricts the delivery of U.S. humanitarian aid. The better-known Leahy laws, championed by now-retired Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, prohibits weapons from going to military units that have committed gross violations of human rights.

Israeli forces killed at least five Palestinians in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas on Wednesday, as it continued mass raids across the territory, including by detaining emergency service workers.
The five men were killed in an Israeli air strike at dawn near al-Tawhid mosque in Tubas.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said it received the bodies after Israeli authorities initially prevented ambulances from reaching the site.

The carnage paid for by our US tax dollars:
โThis WAS a shelter for displaced civilians that had 20 TENTS in Al-Mawasi Khan Yonis. This is a โdesignated SAFE ZONEโ.
#Israel bombed it using 2000 pounds American MK bombs. Everything is gone, leaving behind 10 meter deep craters.โ

These 9 metres deep craters used to be a refugee camp, dozens of tents housing hundreds of forcibly displaced human beings. All gone.
American bombs did this.

in reply to fionag11 • • •I don't know if it had anything to do with Gaza, if the background stories they share on so isl media is correct.
But one must reach a certain level of desperation and despair to commit such act of self sacrifice.

No, this is methodical, mechanical brutality and extermination. The human factor has been forsaken in favor of the same frame of mind which created the death camps.
