Curious (and beyond shameful) that @lapresse.ca would fail to mention that the store targeted with gunfire Sunday morning, Supermarché Mizan, is an openly Palestinian-owned business. Feels like a pretty giant detail to omit. #montreal #antipalestinianracism #doublestandards

"Perceptage agents have been accused of physically assaulting students while stationed at pro-Palestine demonstrations. According to a video posted on Nov. 22, officers were seen aggressively pushing students away from picketing actions and into the stairway of the Henry F. Hall building" #montreal

Katherine Franke: "While the university may call this change in my status 'retirement,' it should be more accurately understood as a termination dressed up in more palatable terms."

Note that #ConcordiaUniversity also shamefully has an official longstanding relationship with the Azrieli Foundation via their Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies.

Trudeau resigns, leaving a rotten political legacy that concluded with helping to fuel Israel’s genocide in Gaza. www.readthemaple.com/fuelling-gen...

Please join us this coming Thursday Jan. 9th @ 6pm for an artist talk w Palestinian-Canadian artist / filmmaker Rehab Nazzal. Rehab's work documents Israel’s settler colonial practices in Palestine + the resilience & resistance tactics of residents, primarily those in refugee camps. #montreal

Rachel Bendayan is a Zionist and should not be in any position related to public safety.

Human Rights Watch insists on using terms like ‘crimes of apartheid’ and ‘acts of genocide’ instead of straightforwardly saying, ‘Israel is an apartheid state that is committing genocide.’

Awful doesn't even come close to describing this tragedy. #endthegenocidenow

️‍🔥 "The Hive Café Solidarity Co-operative stands in solidarity with the movement for the liberation of #Palestine, and to all #ConcordiaUniversity students and community members who demonstrate against the complicity of our institutions at all levels in supporting an ongoing genocide."

More of this please: "Over 7,000 writers, editors, translators, illustrators, publishers, agents, librarians, and other book industry workers have now joined the boycott of Israeli literary institutions complicit in the dispossession of the Palestinian people." #pacbi #palestine #bds

"I can no longer ethically or morally consent to use my labor in any way that supports an institution that is explicitly manufacturing consent for the unrestrained, illegal, “apocalyptic” ongoing series of “calculated” genocides to destroy the people of #Palestine."

This is not good.

"[T]he response of universities, with their long standing reputations of creating space for intellectual engagement and dissent, stands out. Faculty at Columbia and other universities have described a growing climate of academic suppression."

Signed this recently as a Concordia alum. Put pressure on.

This photo is of remnants of a drone missile that melted a car in Tubas, north #WestBank, the passengers were sitting beside it, two were killed, and the third was severely injured and kidnapped from a hospital."

via Rehab Nazzal: Israel has been testing weapons in Gaza since '08. After each of the 5 onslaughts on the Strip between '08 - '23, [they] marketed weapons to international regimes as 'tested & proved'. Over the past 14months, new weapons have been used, the latest of which melts flesh and bones.

Gaslight, deny, repeat: "[ #ConcordiaUniversity ] has chosen to protect its financial interests, its partnerships with war profiteers and its complicity in global systems of oppression over listening to its students." #montreal #bds
