After Israel slaughtered several Al Jazeera journalists, I asked the foreign affairs minister's office whether Canada intends to take action. Their response made me, as a journalist, feel sick. They pointed me to a tweet repost. One with a grammatical error. It didn't even name Israel:

And the human spirit cries out to fight against it. And what the state of Israel and the United States of America have done, will be remembered for as long as humans are able to authentically record history. ↓🧵 (8/8)

But that's not going to happen. The vast majority of Palestinians and their growing numbers of allies are always going to be speaking. We are going to get louder. We are going to act harder. We have seen the tyranny, and we all understand now the nature of evil. ↓🧵 (7/8)

I think they want us to get disheartened, despondent, give up, move on, and finally allow the state of Israel to complete the genocide and grab more land just as that state has been doing since it's horrific and bloody inception in 1948. ↓🧵 (6/8)

Millions of Palestinians in Gaza are literally starving to death and the world is unable to act, entirely because of the America and the American bloc of countries which includes allies like Canada and governments propped up by the US like those of Egypt and Jordan. ↓🧵 (5/8)

But I do, because of the depth of evil of the Zionist, apartheid, genocidal state of Israel as the people of Gaza enter this terminal stage as was completely predicted when the State of Israel blocked aid on the 2nd of March 2025. ↓🧵 (2/8)

“It was a nightmare.” “(The guards) tortured us physically and psychologically.” “We were like chickens or rats locked up … and they shot us with rubber bullets.” Words from Venezuelan migrants sent to a prison in El Salvador. Unimaginable cruelty. www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/a...

‘It was a nightmare’: Venezuelans deported from US describe conditions in Salvadoran prison | CNN
For months, they say, they were beaten by prison guards, shot with pellets, deprived of adequate medical care and denied any due process inside El Salvador’s Center for Terrorism Confinement.

Anyway thanks @moderation.bsky.app for answering my lifelong question of how the US so easily turned away my family fleeing the camps. Turns out you just call them scammers, say they're annoying, and shoo them back where they came from. There's no way you could know what would happen to them amirite

Canada is 0.5% of the world population. We produce 5% of the oil & 6% of the methane. Canadian taxpayers subsidized the fossil fuel industry ~$30 billion in 2024. We subsidize global oil & gas users to help burn the planet. We are the problem. #EndFossilFuels environmentaldefence.ca/wp-content/u...

It's an ugly one sided justification that no other country in the world gets, because well, what about the Palestinians right to 'not live in fear' Mark? (9/9)

Canada lives in fear of a US invasion, Finland leaves in fear of a Russian invasion. It's an unavoidable and permanent part of contemporary human society. And Carney's stated worldview directly means that Israel's permanent fear justifies Israel's permanent war. ↓ Continue reading (8/9)

Secondly, insisting on the right of Israel to not live in fear is a straight up insidious and evil condition to put on peace. And the reason is, that every country lies in fear of its neighbours. This is why they have militaries. ↓ Continue reading (7/9)

This is ridiculous and paternalistic right at the base of it, but requiring Palestinians to adopt an ideology that, as we speak, is justifying not only using starvation as a weapon of war against them, but weaponizing aid distribution as well is heinous. ↓ Continue reading (5/9)

Are you wondering about Sharia because of recent events? Maybe you'd like to read a novel that's set in a Sharia compliant Muslim Matriarchy? "Under The Full and Crescent Moon" is my speculative take on history that has a young woman writing fatwas to fight the patriarchy! Coming this fall!
Book cover of "Under The Full And Crescent Moon" the title is in gold letters and shows a young woman in a hijab under a full moon kneeling in front of a pool of water at night, the reflection shows the woman without a hijab and the moon is a crescent instead. The frame of the cover is reminiscent of Islamic architecture and surrounded by flowers and lily pads. At the bottom is the name of the author Aamir Hussain in white letters.

The book is set on a natural feeling background at the logo of the publisher Dundurn Press is on the bottom.
