It will take more than an Oscar to stop Israel’s West Bank plans

Winning an Oscar won’t stop Israel from annexing Area C in the West Bank, as No Other Land co-director Hamdan Ballal brutally learnt, writes Leilani Farha.

Imagine @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social appointing Marco Mendicino as Chief of Staff. A rabidly anti-Palestinian Zionist. The Liberal Party forgets that Arab Canadians, Muslims, Palestinians + supporters vote and our votes make a difference. The recent U.S. election proves that. Starkly.
