Allies and critics alike have bought into the narrative of Israel as a hub of high-tech military "innovation." But, as the scholar Rhys Machold explains in his new piece, this story obscures the true motor powering Israel's violence: Western backing. jewishcurrents.org/the-myth-of-...

"The idea...is to retell the story of #Oman’s modern economic development from the perspective of #labor instead of oil... 'The story of Oman’s history and of development is the story of living and working. You want to understand the Omani story? Follow the workers.'" - @crystalennis.bsky.social

Canada has recognized Palestine. Finally. It feels like a tiny victory. But let's also put it in context. 140 other UN member states already recognize Palestine. It is meaningful in Canadian FP terms & represents a shift. Canada has been more than a holdout, it has even been an obstacle at the UN.

Yes! I just spoke to a librarian and they are spending time trying to find fake citations - they are being given pages of fake references to find via inter-library loan Again, digital asbestos - quick to produce, but so much cost and labour to clean-up.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Nothing to add.

This must stop. Israel must stop this mass starvation. Our lawmakers must do more. “Since AFP was founded in August 1944, some of our journalists were killed in conflict, others were wounded or made prisoner, but there is no record of us ever having had to watch our colleagues starving to death.”

The masks are coming off: human values and international law seem to count for nothing anymore. This was already evident when the world did nothing to stop the genocide in Gaza.

Israel’s war on Iran has killed hundreds of people. Each has a face, a name, a story. Parnia Abbasi is one of them. She was a 24 year old poet and English teacher. Until an Israeli missile hit her home in Tehran, killing her and her entire family. This is one of her poems, translated to English

600 days in the genocide

I read & watched this & sobbed. You should read it too. Then I grew angry. It took the BBC this long to report on Gaza properly? 19 months later.. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Do people understand how many people have been killed in just these recent days?

Still true. Can you still not say the word, even now? How will your grandchildren remember you?

The king has landed, get this, for Canada to assert its sovereignty 🤣 #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

The Gaza genocide is nearing its final, most brutal phase, and Israeli universities are providing intellectual, logistical, and technological support. The academic boycott of Israeli institutions is the minimum that justice demands. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/stud... #Palestine #Israel

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal. And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.
