Hi George. I’m a Palestinian Christian from Gaza. The majority of Christians who left did so due to Israel’s illegal blockade. My family’s orchards were bulldozed by the IOF. My grandfather was expelled from Bir Saba’ in 48. My great aunt was sniped by a terrorist soldier in Nov.

Ever wonder why you can’t find many (if any) examples of attacks on our community after 2008? It’s because Hamas reigned in these renegade elements in their campaign to consolidate power after 2007. Just like they executed the Salafist murderers of Vitorio Arrigoni.

We went out in Toronto to say no to the illegal Israeli annexation. No to apartheid. Now is the time for meaningful action. Now is the time for sanctions. #StopAnnexation

Auntie Elham, you defied those who cautioned you to stay in the church. But they forget that that’s who you were. A shining example to women subjugated by Zionist oppression and the patriarchal standards of our society.

I can’t sit through another meeting with fake land acknowledgments and self-righteous expressions of indigenous solidarity while we turn a blind eye to the genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza before our very eyes.

The @NDP should distinguish itself form the Liberals by adopting a ban on illegal Israeli settlement products. It can’t win over the Palestinian vote without a more principled approach.

In the wake of the horrific genocide in Gaza, the PLO should revoke its formal recognition of the state of Israel. Recognition is meant to be mutual. How pathetic do you have to be to recognize an entity openly mass murdering your people before the eyes of the world?

Israel’s “independence” was Palestine’s Catastrohpe: What sort of independence is contingent on the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 people? Oh that’s right, a colonial-settler one.

Hey @theJagmeetSingh , now that the @NDP passed a resolution calling for a boycott of illegal Israeli settlements, maybe you could start by condemning the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem. #SaveSheikhJarrah

And when did you leave *our* families as Palestinian Canadians out of it, Kevin? My relatives are dead because of you. A protest at a politician’s house is nothing new. It’s well within our rights. If you can’t handle it, then perhaps this isn’t the job for you.

If you’re going to protest in front of the legislature or city hall, go ahead. If you’re going to protest our offices, have at it. But your right to peaceful assembly does not include protesting at Minister @melaniejoly ’s home. Leave her family—and our families—out of it.

A question occurred to me over Shabbat. It's for people upset about "cancel culture." When @canarymission creates profiles of college students who criticize or protest Israel, with the intent of making them unemployable after graduation, is that "cancel culture?"

Let me get this straight. Canada opposes an ICC investigation into Israel’s war on Gaza in 2014. And today we learn that it signed a contract to purchase from the same Israeli company whose weapons were used in that same assault on Gaza. This is why we need an arms embargo.

Projection is accusing Palestinians of inciting genocide while Israel carries out genocide. Projection is accusing Palestinians of wanting to “throw Jews into the sea” while Zionist forces literally drove Palestinians into the sea in 1948 (eg. at the port of Haifa, where many

It’s outrageous and repulsive to fine anti-apartheid and homelessness activists up to $100K. Hamilton authorities must be terrified to take such punitive measures against calls to defund the police and the IDF. It exposes a weakness that will only embolden us further.

Thank you @AliAbunimah , @norabf and the rest of the @intifada crew for having me on the livestream. There are Palestinian Christians in Gaza. Tonight, we’re preparing for Christmas under siege and mourning our dead. This may be our last Christmas in Gaza. Hear our story👇🏽
