🤯 Journalist, Munk Debate member, U of T graduate, and recent (unanimously selected) PEN Canada Ken Filkow Prize recipient for her work advancing freedom of expression in Canada, @smohyeddin.bsky.social, is turned away from attending tonight's Munk debate in Toronto. Good grief 🤷

We condemn the raid on El-Hakawati and the shutdown of a children’s show—another systemic attack on Palestinian culture across the OPT and in Gaza. The international community must act to end the genocide and protect Palestinian lives and culture. lithub.com/israeli-forc...

A Turkish-German family of four who died while on holiday in Istanbul were likely poisoned by gas from a pesticide used in their hotel.

It has been wild to watch Canadian journalists launder Jivani's white supremacy. In this case, through his love of "gangster culture."

IDF soldiers should not be allowed to launder a genocide on Canadian campuses. youtu.be/Ya-auhpLKKY?...

NEW📍Israeli soldier hosted by Students Supporting Israel - a group at Toronto Metropolitan University - reshared a story on Instagram admitting he was the one who smashed the glass. He cut his own arm & then played victim. Instead of doing any investigating, Canadian media ran with his narrative.

Wearing the emblem of the Canada designated terror group, Kahane Chai (Jewish Defence League), 67 year old Gabrielle Bodis brought Ammonium Hydroxide with her to a protest. Toronto police arrested her for assault and threatening bodily harm.

This from the woman who told Israel to kill Palestinian journalists.

A journalist asked what keeps me up at night. Here was my answer, at a press conference yesterday on parliament hill with a Canadian Medical Coalition Against Genocide demanding that Canada end its complicity and active involvement in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

My interview with Greta Thunberg, somewhere off the coast of Sicily. youtu.be/puQOlAs9X4Q?...

In the almost two decade blockade of Gaza, there have been 38 attempts made to break the siege. This will be Greta Thunberg’s third attempt. There are a total of 46 boats with her this time. 🎤Interview to come … stay tuned.

A protective force must be sent into Gaza to protect the Palestinians from Israel.

Israel has killed 26 more journalists, this time in Yemen, @dropsitenews.com reports. Israel launched airstrikes at two newspaper offices in Yemen's capital city Sanaa on Wednesday, killing at least 35 people total and wounding at least 165. www.dropsitenews.com/p/israel-kil...

It really feels like the crescendo of Israel’s genocide. 142 states recognize Palestine. Netanyahu doubles down on there never being a Palestinian state. Media malpractice continues. Gaza’s decimation carries on unabated. More than a thousand Palestinian men abducted in Tulkarem.

What a treat to meet with @peninternational.bsky.social Writers in Exile: Siavash Mirzadeh and Ali Kamrani. PEN International held its 91st Congress in Krakow this year.
