Me when I saw Carney say “zionist Palestine.”

Carney saying that Palestine could only have a state if it is zionist is like saying Ukraine can only have a state if it is Soviet. That’s how offensive that was. #cdnpoli

Zionism is not canadian. Mr. Carney, if you want to difference yourself from the far-right, cut all support to Israel. Racism, fascism and genocide support are not canadian WAKE UP MR. CARNEY. THE PUCK IS THERE @mark-carney.bsky.social #markcarney #zionist #zionism #Palestine #genocide #liberal

We proudly signed on to this group's open letter campaign in 2024 and wish them great success. Israel has killed nearly 200 journalists since 2023 (www.ifj.org/war-in-gaza), making 2024 the deadliest year for journalists in the last thirty years. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues.

Outside Toronto's Israeli consulate, a group of journalists launches Canadian Journalists for Justice in Palestine.

"There is nothing Israel has not done to silence the journalists on the ground in Gaza," says Mohyeddin, who emphasizes that "they are our colleagues."

They also observe that Canadian media has sacrificed its own credibility in the way it has covered the conflict, such that the weaknesses of institutional media have become increasingly apparent to a whole lot of people.

"An offense to Palestinian journalists is an offense to journalists everywhere," Roy says she'd tell those journalists who aren't here because they think it's unimportant. She also acknowledges many journalists aren't in attendance because they might face professional repercussions for doing so.

Women in Black mobilized against genocide in Toronto. They credit Michele Landsberg with getting it started.

Hundreds gathered for the second time on June 20, joining millions around the world calling for an end to the genocide and starvation of Palestinians. Deborah Barndt: "For me, it's a broader call for peace not war in the Middle East, as tensions rise, and more innocent people lose their lives."

Today Canadian journalists for justice in 🇵🇸 (@cjjpmedia on ig + X) was launched in several cities across Canada. At the Toronto launch press conference, @smohyeddin.bsky.social read Hossam Shabat's last statement, which was published after he was assassinated by the IOF last March.

Canadian media workers should care because an attack on journalists in Gaza is an attack on journalists everywhere, says @royinori.bsky.social. The Canadian Journalists for Justice in Palestine launched today. Follow @cjjpmedia on Instagram for more.

Zohran is a sign that the 25 years of uninterrupted Islamophobia and decades of pro Israel propaganda is cracking. Containment is broken. For most normal people, especially new yorkers, this blatantly racist agitprop will have the opposite of its intended effect.

What is sometimes disappointing in the museum education world is when these dioramas aren't used as a metacognitive reflective opportunity to peel apart colonial thinking towards history.

The Committee to Protect Journalists reports that this targeted strike on Iran state television comes amid a wider escalation between Israel and Iran. [1/2]

It also marks a disturbing extension of a deadly pattern: the CPJ says Israeli forces have killed at least 186 journalists and media workers since the Gaza war began—the highest number CPJ has ever recorded in a single conflict. [2/2]

Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi mopped the floor with his opponents in the Edmonton-Strathcona by-election Monday. @djclimenhaga.bsky.social writes. #abpoli

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

Spoke with CTV News about Israel’s attack on Iran.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A reminder that you can go from person of the year to anti-semite of the week if you want to feed starving children. Welcome to zionism.

Truly an honour to be part of the Toronto Women in Black vigil today. Indeed kudos to Michele Landsberg for organizing it. The great news is that there will be more of these! Thanks so much for this wonderful photo, @citizentalin.bsky.social

Read my full message to my dad on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DKSxNYLzVLv/

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding. As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

We must work to put an end to this unimaginable scale of human suffering and work towards peace. Read the statement here: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

NEW: The Maple spoke with 13 former Jewish-school students about the “brainwashing,” “indoctrination” and inculcation of anti-Arab racism they say they endured at the schools. They claimed the schools play a crucial role in Canadians joining the IDF. www.readthemaple.com/youre-litera...

Believe it or not, you can directly help families in northern #Gaza get #water. My friend's father there has a small well. He needs $$ for fuel to run the pump to get the water. Without $$, he can't get the water. Please send any amount you can to bit.ly/fund-gaza-well.

UREGENT ACTION: If you are Jewish, plse join me in signing this new petition which has just been launched: www.foodaidforgaza.org @ijvcanada.bsky.social @ijvnbvji.bsky.social @jews4tikkunolam.bsky.social @mivasair.bsky.social

Be heard: Join our emergency campaign in calling on the Canadian government to drop food aid into Gaza, where 1.1 million people are facing starvation.

Jeff Bridges opens up about his battle with Covid/Long Covid, and states he thinks he got the virus in a healthcare setting where he was receiving chemo for cancer. If the rich & famous can’t get healthcare workers to mask… what chance do the rest of us have? Masks in healthcare now!

Next week, the Prime Minister will unveil his new cabinet. After an election where women's equality and 2SLGBTQIA+ issues were sidelined & deprioritized, we need him to show his commitment to women's rights, gender equality & 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Send him an email: www.momentumcanada.net/wage

I want a law passed in Congress that FORBIDS ANY law enforcement, ICE, DHS, or CBP from hiding their faces.

PM Carney’s face is all of us right now.

these press conferences are a lot like Festivus - the airing of grievances

Carney to Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale ... having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."

Watching JD Vance desperately try to chime in, get ignored, and be reduced to laughing at Trump's shitty jokes is truly, astonishingly bitchless behaviour.

JD Vance isn’t allowed to talk, it’s good

"Old Man yells at Biden"

Mark Carney is obviously about a billion times smarter than Trump, but has to be careful not to let Trump's predator lizard brain realize that

He goes on to say, "I just want to be friends with Canada. Regardless of anything, I just want to be friends with Canada." Then he shouts out Wayne Gretzky and talks a bit about hockey.
