And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands, time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide.”

Senator Woo is a courageous parliamentarian. I wish more of his colleagues would open their minds to the evidence showing Israel is committing genocide.

“I really do find the use of this word “genocide” - this language - offensive. I don’t think a genocide has been established.” Senator Wallin objecting to Senator @ypwoo.bsky.social‘s speech.

The West may now be finally waking up to the full enormity of the horrors Israel has inflicted in Gaza. It is time we started listening to Palestinian voices, while there are still Palestinians left alive to speak truth to power.

A graveyard of liberal illusions

The West may now be finally waking up to the full enormity of the horrors Israel has inflicted in Gaza. It needs also to wake up to the evils it has nurtured not just for the last two years, but for o...

❗️Senator Woo courageously raising inconvenient truths in parliament about Israel's genocide & the Government of Canada's failure to abide by international law. Please take a few minutes to listen and share. This is important.

I rose in the Senate to remember the horror of Oct 7, 2023 and to confront the horrors that followed. #cdnpoli #Gaza #Israel

Saskatchewan is so much better than this.

Now is not the time to expand trade with Israel -- a country that is committing genocide, deliberately starving civilians, carrying out forced displacement, expanding occupation, etc.

‼️ Sources told CBC
that “institutional resistance from the start” & not wanting to “spend diplomatic capital with Israel” primarily account for low number of Palestinians entering Canada from Gaza. Can’t help but think that entrenched anti-Palestinian racism is at play.

These three things can be true:
1. Antisemitism is increasing
2. Anti-Palestinian racism is increasing
3. Weaponization of antisemitism is increasing

From my work email inbox (re: yesterday's action at MP Will Greaves' office).
Advocating for the right of Palestinians to have access to education is NOT antisemitism.

Israel has intentionally destroyed most of Gaza's education system, killing tens of thousands of students, teachers, professors & other educational workers. Calling on UVic prof. & MP @wgreaves.bsky.social to intervene & support university students in Gaza. Education is a human right.
