It's laughable when police in Canada claim that "they don't police political views, only behavior."
Multiple examples in this article clearly show the coordinated and systematic effort to suppress and marginalize support for Palestine.
We’re exposing the full scope of a Toronto Police operation targetting pro-Palestine activism.
Night raids, surveillance, cultivating informants, crashing university lectures, and trumped-up “hate crime” charges—all to "incapacitate" a growing movement.

Instead of fixating on misplaced questions (such as "who is the pure original owner of the land"; for starters, ancient societies didnt have the same concept or practice of ownership, sovereignty, or state, we have today), it is important to instead remain focused on the...

They showed a 12 year child a video of them killing in cold blood a 9 year old and a 15 year old child. And told him they would do this to him if he threw stones.
These are the "democratic values" you support?

Karim is 12 years old and lives in the occupied West Bank.
Earlier today he was detained by the Israeli forces and during his interrogation they showed him a video of children being shot and killed and told him they will do the same to him if he throws stones.

Until that moment, which can only arrive with the complete dismantling of the settler colonial structures, Zionists will always remain violent settlers, no matter where they live in the settler colony of Israel.

These people are so racist and dumb. I don't know what else to say anymore.
BBC presenter says the 'Israeli forces are not discriminating between those who are Palestinian and those who are Christian.'
They're all Palestinian.

What
@selinarobinson
needs is anti-Palestinian racism training. And then she can resign because this wasn't a "mistake". What she said is what she strongly believes.
NEW -
@selinarobinson
says she will take anti-Islamophobia training, in a statement from NDP caucus. There is no mention of resigning from cabinet, as some have called on her to do. NDP faces protests at its caucus meeting this morning and a ban on campaigning in certain Mosques.

This is critical. Do not expect institutions to save the day. They didn't today. One institution took a small step forward and an uncertain step at that. Only the people working from the grassroots level can achieve justice. Keep struggling for Palestine and all oppressed people.
Im grateful to South Africa for taking Israel to the ICJ. But let’s not be complacent. Keep boycotting, keep agitating, keep striking, keep protesting.

Once you understand that, you understand, among other things, that only the Palestinians have the moral authority to welcome Jewish refugees and migrants, whether they came from Europe or parts of the Arab world and Africa, into the land and share it with them.

Zionism is about 150 years old; it begins to gain prominence about 100 years ago; the idea that anti-Zionism is antisemitism is Israeli state propaganda that started in the late 1960s and began to spread in the last 2 decades.
Rich and diverse Jewish history is 3000+ years old.
I can’t believe it needs to be said, but Zionism is not merely a political ideology. It is also an inherent, integral and indispensable part of Jewish identity. So when many are criticizing Zionism, they are merely trying to mask their own antisemitism and Jew hatred.

When your ideology leads you to attack the most oppressed groups in society in order to "free" yourself, you have a delusional, violent, and hateful understanding of reality.
This racist & violent ideology is more widespread than most people think, and it appears in many forms.

In March, CBC News Toronto approached me to ask about the incident when cops crashed my lecture at York, which was about Palestinian decolonial liberation. I spoke to the CBC. The story was never printed.
I wonder why they backed out .....
Journalists at CBC say a Breach exposé last week resonated in their newsroom
@brish_ti
reports that they say anti-Palestinian bias is rampant, with one calling CBC’s denials “ludicrous.”
