“Oh you’re just advocating for Palestine and wearing a keffiyeh because it’s trendy.” Meanwhile this is me and @molly_kraft holding candles at a vigil organized by Jewish women against the occupation in 1990. Just because you’re new to this doesn’t mean we all are.
I'm proud to launch this project today: AntiPalestinianRacism.com An accessible resource for diaspora Palestinians and their allies, committed to developing shared language and understanding about Anti-Palestinian Racism and its manifestations. This is the first step of many.

Any government that purports to "recognize" a right, with no minimally believable plan to define, implement, or enforce it, is doing real damage to the concept. Trying to educate people about their actual legal rights gets a hell of a lot harder when you have to compete with this

I am truly struggling with what happened this week in the Ontario legislature. As a staffer in this place, as a Palestinian-Canadian in this place, and as someone who has compassion, I am disgusted and appalled. Thank you @SarahJama_ for being so strong.
Emory professor Nicole McAfee, chair of the university's philosophy department, was among those arrested amid the Atlanta school's crackdown on student protesters. Democracy Now! spoke to Professor McAfee about the protests, which she says were "peaceful" until police arrived.
Documents from Global News make it clear: the Conservatives have massively cut funding to affordable housing. This, as Ontario's waitlist for families to move into affordable homes balloons to more than 65k. Why are the Conservatives cutting funding when the affordable housing…
Brilliant, principled leadership from @OFLabour! The Ontario legislature doesn’t sit next week. So the labour and peace movements - and political forces across the country - have 10 days to build an unstoppable wave. Reverse this racist ban. ofl.ca/ontario-union-…

CCLA is calling on the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to lift his ban on the wearing of keffiyehs. Read more below. ccla.org/press-release/…
If the entire #NDP caucus followed #SarahJama’s example and wore #keffiyeh’s in the Legislative Chambers, the Speaker’s racist ruling would be in trouble. However, that would mean putting solidarity ahead of parliamentary niceties.
As a Mother, my heart breaks for the young pages watching this happen. It breaks for the young women watching. People need to see people like them in public life. They need to see they belong. They matter. Can be themselves. This sends the opposite message.

By stripping Sara Jama of her powers as an MPP for wearing a Palestinian scarf, Ted Arnott, Ontario's speaker of the Legislative Assembly, has behaved in a discriminatory manner. He must resign or be asked to do so by the Premier. Period.

Are these police officers, or are they fascist thugs? It’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference.

Queen's Park staff asked Sarah Jama to leave because she wore a keffiyeh. Sarah is an elected parliamentarian. Tomorrow, an emergency action will take place before Doug Ford's constituency office. When Black people and Palestinians are under attack, we unite and fight back.

Shame on the entire @OntarioNDP for having MPP Jama stand alone on this.

The ban on the Palestinian keffiyeh at Queen’s Park is a stain on this province. Everyone must be welcome in our democracy, without exceptions. Stop the keffiyeh ban now. #onpoli
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
If you wait for the oppressor to pave you a “legal” means (also defined by them) towards freedom, you will never be free. This is why oppressors will criminalize every attempt of the oppressed towards freedom.

CHARGE WITHDRAWN On January 7, 2024, my client, Maged Sameh Hilal Al Khalaf, was criminally charged with publicly inciting hatred for allegedly flying the flag of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine ("PFLP"). Today that charge was withdrawn by the Crown Attorney.

Authoritarianism is a virus spreading to every country in the world.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
We've apparently reached the "University arresting its own professors" stage of decline.
WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst

Many of us spent years involved in the theory and practice of anti-racism. Yet, anytime you talk about racism over the last seven months, you get an army of white people, aka trolls, educating us about what is or is not racism. Strange times we live in, and predictable.
Heading into my 50th oral argument today at @ONCA_en — time flies!
Are these police officers, or are they fascist thugs? It’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference.
@MiddleEastEye Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor” #Gaza #Protesters
Queen's Park staff asked Sarah Jama to leave because she wore a keffiyeh. Sarah is an elected parliamentarian. Tomorrow, an emergency action will take place before Doug Ford's constituency office. When Black people and Palestinians are under attack, we unite and fight back.
🚨Emergency rally at @fordnation’s Constituency Office 🚨 Tell Ford & the Conservatives: End the racist #keffiyeh ban at Queen’s Park! If Ford won’t end it, we’ll defy it. When: April 26, 5:30- 7 PM Where: 823 Albion Rd, Etobicoke RSVP: ow.ly/iriT50Rnzlc #EndTheBan #OnPoli
Shame on the entire @OntarioNDP for having MPP Jama stand alone on this.

The ban on the Palestinian keffiyeh at Queen’s Park is a stain on this province. Everyone must be welcome in our democracy, without exceptions. Stop the keffiyeh ban now. #onpoli
