Sign the petition! Stop Jailing Those Telling The Truth.
I signed a petition on Action Network telling the UK attorney general to stop imprisoning protesters telling the truth on climate.
The situation in Khin-U Township has spiraled into a crisis of unimaginable proportions. For four consecutive days, the military junta has unleashed a campaign of terror, systematically setting fire to villages and leaving devastation in its wake. Since September 2, eight villages in the northern part of Khin-U have been torched, displacing thousands and obliterating entire communities. insightmyanmar.org/burmadhammaโฆ
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.
How fragmented( dull) mind works- to travel from A to B is hard work, but when mind is lazy and want quick satisfaction, it says - stop funding the war or end the war. I have a question is is more stupid to share those stories and those words, or begin a war ?
Jacob, your comments are pretty cryptic; I can see you are a very philosophical person and I think your heart is in the right place, but your point is obscure and coming across as offensive in context.
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.
Rafat and Nurs shouted that they had blue ID cards, but the soldiers were not interested at any point. And when they asked to go from there to the Soroka hospital because they were wounded, one of the soldiers threatened that if they did so he would shoot them.
It's not an occupation, it's not an apartheid system, it's the only democracy in the region fighting to defend western values. It's their right to defend themselves.
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. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-renewablโฆ
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.

RiP: 19-year-old #Palestinian TikTok star Medo Halimy began making his "tent life" video series when he took refuge with his family earlier this year in a strip of southern Gaza that Israel has designated a humanitarian safe zone.
Turning his camera on the intimate details of his own life in Gaza, he reached viewers far and wide, documenting life's mundane absurdities and revealing a maddening tedium that's largely left out of news coverage about the war.
"If you wonder what living in a tent is actually like, come with me to show you how I spend my day," Halimy says in his first of many "tent life" diaries filmed from the sprawling encampment.
He filmed himself going about his day: waiting restlessly in long lines for drinking water, showering with a jar and a bucket ("there's no shampoo or soap, of course"), scavenging ingredients to make a surprisingly tasty baba ganoush, the Middle East's smoky eggplant dip ("Mama mia!" he marvels at his creation), and becoming ver

RiP: 19-year-old #Palestinian TikTok star Medo Halimy began making his "tent life" video series when he took refuge with his family earlier this year in a strip of southern Gaza that Israel has designated a humanitarian safe zone.
Turning his camera on the intimate details of his own life in Gaza, he reached viewers far and wide, documenting life's mundane absurdities and revealing a maddening tedium that's largely left out of news coverage about the war.
"If you wonder what living in a tent is actually like, come with me to show you how I spend my day," Halimy says in his first of many "tent life" diaries filmed from the sprawling encampment.
He filmed himself going about his day: waiting restlessly in long lines for drinking water, showering with a jar and a bucket ("there's no shampoo or soap, of course"), scavenging ingredients to make a surprisingly tasty baba ganoush, the Middle East's smoky eggplant dip ("Mama mia!" he marvels at his creation), and becoming very, very bored ("then I went back to the tent, and did nothing").
Even when recounting tragedies (his grandmother died, he mentioned at one point, largely because of Gaza's acute medication and equipment shortages) or fretting over Israel's bombardment, Halimy's friends said that he found salve in channeling his grief and anxiety into deadpan humor.
"Very annoying," he says with an eye roll when the buzz of an Israeli drone interrupts one of his TikTok recipe videos.
"As you can see, the transportation here is not five stars," he says when crammed between men in a pickup truck heading to the nearby town of Deir al-Balah.
"We proceeded to play, anyway," he says of his Monopoly game, when the whooshing of Israeli projectiles sounds in the skies above him and his friends. "Anyway, I lost."
Halimy produced diaries that captivated hundreds of thousands of viewers curious about what life looks like amid war. His videos went viral โ some amassing more than 2 million views on TikTok.
While hanging out with a close friend and collaborator at the local internet cafe, a tent with Wi-Fi where displaced Palestinians can connect to the outside world, Halimy was killed by shrapnel from an Israeli airstrike.
Tributes to Halimy poured in from friends as far afield as Harker Heights, Texas, where he spent a year in 2021 as part of an exchange program sponsored by the State Department.
Israel's campaign in Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians. It has also transformed legions of ordinary teenagers, who have nothing to do every day but survive, into war correspondents for the social media age.
The Israeli military said it was not aware of the strike that killed Halimy.
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.
#Lebanon: The Israeli enemy carried a wave of air strikes targeting the outskirts of a number of villages in the western sector (Tyre district), especially Zebqin forest
And the outskirts of: - Majdal Zun - Al-Jbeen - Sheheen - Alma al-Shaab - Hamoul - Wadi Hassan - Naqoura
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.
Labour4Palestine is calling on the CLC to honour its 2021 resolution to oppose Israelโs ethnic cleansing in Palestine, call on the Canadian government to end arms sales to Israel, and support divestment from companies complicit in the occupation.
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.
Zionists are again trying to force CUPE to make Fred Hahn resign. Last October, thousands emailed & prevented that from happening. Send an email to CUPE now! #CanLab
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.
