Israel has killed more than 200 aid workers in 6 months. Netanyahu: Stop murdering innocent people.

If you’re following the political manipulations on Canada’s carbon tax, don’t fall for the “parade of nonsense.” Watch and share this.
Why is calculus the default higher level math in high school and not statistics? Is there a reason I don’t know about? I feel like society would be way better off if they understood the basics of statistics. I’m honestly curious.
Festival season is back! I'm going to be highlighting all of our incredible local festivals this year, so be prepared. We added $100,000 to the Festival Investment Grant this year, plus the $1.3M Downtown Revitalization Fund, so it's going to be a good summer! #yyj #victoriabc

As the crisis in #Sudan worsens, I’ve written to 🇨🇦 Ministers to ask for action on sanctions, humanitarian aid, justice at the ICC, peace negotiations & delayed reunification applications. Canada can take several steps today to help save lives in Sudan. Read my letter below.
“The images of starvation in Gaza are unbearable and you’re doing nothing.” Michael Fakhri, UN rapporteur on the right to food, has called for imposing sanctions against Israel during his speech held at the UN Human Rights Council.
Insane.
There is no world in which the forced famine of 1.1 million people cannot be considered genocide. And that is exactly what we are watching unfold in Gaza now. We must enforce U.S. laws and halt weapons transfers to the Israeli government to stop an atrocity in the making.
Gaza is starving. The UN is trying to feed them. Yet many in Congress seem happy to be part of the starvation caucus – more focused on attacking the UN than getting desperately-needed aid to suffering Palestinians.

I call for a ceasefire, hostage deal, end of siege and political solution. I’m Jewish, I’m Israeli and whoever wants to delegitimize us works for authoritarian right wing.

In my new column, I outline what I see as three myths inflaming the debate about the Middle east. nytimes.com/2023/11/15/opi… I welcome your thoughts.
If you are heading out to a #CeasefireInGazaNOW protest, particularly if you are speaking, and you see any flags or signs that are antisemitic make sure they know they are unwelcome. Israel can align with the far right in their common goal of ethnonationalisms. We must not.
I want to speak to the massacre now taking place before our eyes in Gaza. We call for an investigation of the Netanyahu regime’s war crimes as well as the role of Biden and US leaders in aiding and abetting them. And above all, these crimes must stop now. #Gaza #CeasefireNOW
I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words. I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.

@AmiDar An inquest into the military, intelligence, political, and operational failures that led to the October 7 attack — similar to the Agranat Commission — should have also been launched immediately and transparently. Examining the attack rationally would have gone a long way.
