Beisan Zubi @beisan.bsky.social · 27/04/2025ICYMI: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...thestar.comThis election, I’m voting for Gaza. But please don’t call me a single-issue voterI would argue a politician’s stance on Gaza says volumes about their commitment to a range of domestic issues, and not just upholding international law. 060
Beisan Zubi @beisan.bsky.social · 27/04/2025My column on voting with Gaza in mind is in print in today’s election special for @thestar.com It feels notable that a major newspaper printed a Palestinian opinion piece in a Sunday edition. I doubt this would have happened even 5 years ago. Change is slow, but inevitable. #cdnelxn #freepalestine 2269

Beisan Zubi @beisan.bsky.social · 18/04/2025I think there has been some pushback. Niki Ashton is working to remove the charitable status given to several IDF- and Israeli-charities operating in Canada. And off the top of my head Ashton, Green, Desjarlais, Gazan and maybe a few others supported Sarah too. We should push for more I agree. 010
Beisan Zubi @beisan.bsky.social · 17/04/2025I just want to reaffirm that what happened to Sarah Jama was awful and never should have happened, but also to remind folks the Ontario NDP did that, not the federal NDP. Many fed NDP members spoke out against that bad call from the ONDP and @matthewgreen.bsky.social campaigned for her last fall. 140
Beisan Zubi @beisan.bsky.social · 15/04/2025The NDP is failing for a lot of reasons, but I agree they didn’t distinguish themselves enough from the Liberals (except on Palestine) 010
Beisan Zubi @beisan.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Palestinian Canadian election commentary in @readthemaple.bsky.social My take? Conservatives will never support Palestinians; they condone further harm against us. Liberals will continue to give us small tokens while also condoning further harm against us. www.readthemaple.com/is-there-a-r...readthemaple.comIs There A Real Difference Between The Libs And Cons On Palestine?Five Palestinians weigh in on this question and the importance of voting in the election more broadly 1129
Beisan Zubi @beisan.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Black Friday sales are starting and I need to remind everyone (myself most of all) that you don’t need more things. You have enough things. You have more things than the majority of other humans have. Probably too many things. Just be grateful instead. 060
