For years, economic sanctions — one of the West’s most powerful foreign policy tools — have been controlled by insiders and special interests.

We’re here to change that.

Our coalition is pushing for meaningful sanctions against Israel’s most malign elements.

Join our movement.

I've been told Sameer Project is the "gold standard" for sending aid to Palestinians. Of many projects, this one is to keep Gazans warm this winter: shelter, warm clothing, blankets. Now they're in tattered tents w nothing, w/ Israel blocking aid entry despite ceasefire.

My latest -- the bigger story about the Canadian-built armoured vehicle purchase by ICE is actually how the war abroad and the war at home are, primarily, economic wars.

There isn't a single young Jewish kid protesting for Palestine who doesn't know which river and what sea...and I can't decide if she is really that ignorant and doesn't know this (which means she doesn't know any Jewish kids) or if she is straight up lying on a public stage

Hillary Clinton sassing off "young Jewish Americans who don't know their own history" in a way that is disgustingly antisemitic. "They say from the river to the sea...they don't even know which river and which sea!" Fuck off.

UPDATE: Instead of addressing the ample criticism against C-9, some MPs want to add a new offence as an amendment during the clause-by-clause analysis, which would further infringe on our rights & freedoms!

NEW: I created a database profiling Toronto institutions Canadian IDF soldiers attended to get a better understanding of how they portray the Israeli military.

The institutions, which all have charities, include schools, synagogues and summer camps.

The Gaza Health Ministry says more than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, with attacks continuing despite the ceasefire deal that came into effect last month.

Incredible project.

forensic-architecture.org/investigatio...
Since October 2023, Israel’s infrastructure of displacement in Gaza has consisted of so-called ‘warnings’, ‘evacuation orders’, ‘safe corridors’, and ‘safe’ or ‘humanitarian zones’. FA’s research has revealed these to be little more than performative displays of compliance with long-standing humanitarian and legal norms. In practice, these mechanisms of forced displacement sow terror among the population of Gaza, as unreliable and often uncontradictory orders issued by the Israeli military leave civilians with impossible choices, and surrounded by danger, even after the ‘ceasefire’ of October 2025. In this narrative study, Forensic Architecture documents the story of Nadia* and Ahmad*, a young couple from Beit Hanoun whose experiences tell an individual story of how this ‘humanitarian violence’ unfolds.

Daily bombings, hundreds of thousands of people living in tents, cell phones brought in by the entity instead of medicine and food exploding in people's hands, approval of another fucking infrastructure of settler colonial genocide, and Palestinians continue to support each others' survival.
from Sameer Project X: THIRD winter in a row iN GENOCIDE! Donate now: https://chuffed.org/project/149178-sameer-project-x-mass-displacement-campaign Let that sink in. Palestinians in Gaza’s body are malnourished, their immunity is low, they’re exhausted and they’re entering their third winter in genocide. This is happening with no adequate shelter for 1.47 million people, barely any tents and tarps coming in and zero caravans or building materials have entered. Disaster is an understatement for what’s about to come and even though it feels like a drop in the ocean, the Translating Falasteen ( @translatingpal ) x Sameer continues the Yalla Na’merha (let’s build it) campaign. We can’t shelter a million and a half people but for around $350, your donations can provide a waterproof tent for 7-8 people! Despair is a luxury that Palestinians in Gaza don’t have. This is why we need to rise and do whatever we can to end this genocide and for aid to come in. Disruption and direct action are crucial during this time. Simultaneously we ask you to continue to provide material support to Palestinians in Gaza. Donate today to the Return Home Campaign: https://chuffed.org/project/149178-sameer-project-x-mass-displacement-campaign Other ways to donate include: http://paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Winter") http://account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Ali (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Winter")
