This Israeli military strategy, referred to as the Dahiya doctrine, was developed by Gadi Eisenkot, the ex-general who is seen in Israel as the alternative to Netanyahu. Google it. It involves using massive, disproportionate force and targeting civilian infrastructure to pressure hostile governments or non-state groups. This massive, disproportional force against innocent civilians, as in Gaza, Lebanon and elsewhere, will continue as long as the U.S., Germany, UK and other external powers that arm and finance Israel allow it. @IndJewishVoices @jvplive @NaamodUK
Replying to @RabbiMivasair
The reality: if you attack Israelis, dozens to hundreds of innocent people having nothing to do with the attack lose their homes and often their lives.

"There is no majoritarian ethnographic project that we can endorse that is not racist. There was no good slavery. There was no good segregation. There's no complexity. Zionism is racist. The state of Israel is committed to the extermination or ethnic cleansing of Palestinians..these are facts " #tanehisicoates #EndGenocide

This Diwali, you are still allowing military equipment to go from Canada to Israel to kill Palestinian families in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Canada's sanctions regime against Russia includes a comprehensive two-way arms embargo. But Canada applies no comparable measures against Israel – even in the midst of an ongoing genocide. To the contrary, Israeli arms manufacturers like Elbit Systems are free to acquire Canadian companies whose technology can be used to entrench Israel's unlawful military occupation of Palestine. This is yet another example of Canada failing to fulfill its obligation "not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by the continued presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory." (ICJ Advisory Opinion, July 19, 2024)
Elbit Systems has completed the acquisition of International Submarine Engineering (ISE), a Canadian company specializing in advanced autonomous underwater and remotely operated systems for the maritime domain. Together, our combined capabilities strengthen a comprehensive maritime portfolio spanning autonomous surface and underwater platforms, mission systems, C2, sensors, communications, and electronic warfare. The addition of ISE is expected to expand capabilities in underwater ISR, Mine Countermeasures (MCM), and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). Read more: tinyurl.com/2va465m4

It should be illegal for Israel’s top arms producer to purchase a Canadian company. Elbit Systems is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. Cancel the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, enact sanctions and a two-way arms embargo now.

Anand refers to Israel’s responsibilities “as the occupying power”, entirely omitting the unlawfulness of the occupation itself. There can be no meaningful accountability or civilian protection so long as the occupation and associated racial segregation and apartheid continues.

Some of you may not know this, but the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author S. K. Ali is my sister. And yes, I’m a proud brother! She’ll be speaking at the Silk Road Literary Festival on Saturday, October 17, at Meridian Arts Centre in Toronto. It’s a wonderful lineup: 📚 3 p.m. — S. K. Ali: Muslims in fiction and Golden Flight. 🌎 4:30 p.m. — Dr. Saeed Khan: Muslim Americans and the changing American political landscape. 🎬 6 p.m. — Farah Nabulsi: Cinema, Palestinian representation and telling our own stories. 📖 7:30 p.m. — Omar El Akkad: Witnessing and our responsibility. A special mention of Omar’s One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This—a powerful reckoning with Gaza, Western complicity and the distance between our professed values and our actions. A book whose title alone demands that we examine where we stand today. If you’re in the Toronto area, please go support these voices and be part of these conversations. Share the posters and help spread the word!

A Black mother with a stroller was reportedly subjected to racist abuse on the TTC by a woman wearing Sunnybrook-branded clothing. Sunnybrook says it's investigating her identity and affiliation. As a health care professional, I have questions. Racism doesn't disappear at hospital doors. Black patients deserve dignity, safety and respect. Video credit: 6ixBuzz TV

"12 October | The memory of the martyrdom of journalist Saleh Al-Jaafari. A scene that brought together the martyr journalists Saleh Al-Jaafari and Anas Al-Sharif, on the day of the ceasefire in Gaza, when the families returned from the south to the north after a year and a half of displacement. An encounter captured by the camera, and its memory remains a witness to a moment that the people of Gaza had long awaited… and to journalists who carried their pain to the world, so their voices remain present despite their absence. May God have mercy on Saleh and Anas, and on the living Anas… and his voice endures."
12 أكتـ ـ وبر | ذكرى استـ ـ ـ شهاد الصحفي صالح الجعفراوي . مشهدٌ جمع الشهيـ ـ ـ دين الصحفيين صالح الجعفراوي وأنس الشريف، يوم وقف إطلاق النار في غزة، حين عاد الأهالي من الجنوب إلى الشمال بعد عام ونصف من النزوح. لقاءٌ وثّقته الكاميرا، وبقيت ذكراه شاهدةً على لحظةٍ انتظرها أهل غزة طويلًا… وعلى صحفيين حملا وجعها إلى العالم، فبقي صوتهما حاضرًا رغم الغياب. رحم الله صالحًا وأنسًا، وأنس حيّ… وصوته باقٍ.

Listen to brother @omarsuleiman regarding the dressing up of language around the holy Al-aqsa mosque as "interfaith dialogue"- leading to more theft, occupation by Israel genocidal forces. Great historical context with Hebron mosque massacre by Baruch Goldstein-rewarded by the Israeli state Highly recommend listening Https://piped.video/OQAzl9vQfOY…
