In a month, I’ll be speaking alongside dear public health colleagues at the 18th World Congress in Public Health in Cape Town, South Africa. Looking forward to connecting with likeminded public health advocates who are committed to the work of collective liberation. 🇵🇸 🇸🇩❤️

A dear medical colleague and friend working in Gaza currently sent this photo to me. Canada is sending fortified biscuits into Gaza, but also still sending weapons to Israel to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Don’t be fooled by Canada’s “humanitarian alibi”.

I have been spending the past few days learning about the question of Cyprus. Discussing negotiation, reconciliation, and peace building. There are many lessons from Cyprus, and much the world can offer to build sustainable and lasting peace through self-determination and true reconciliation.

CANSEC is a conference of buying and selling weapons and technologies that fuel an industry of war, terror, and genocide. It is the complete opposite of what healthcare workers stand for. It is the complete opposite of humanity, dignity, and life for all peoples and the planet.

The university of ottawa previously hired this person as a special advisor- someone who denies both the genocide of Indigenous Peoples and Palestinians. Sounds about right for @uottawa.ca.
Tweet post from Artur Wilczynski: “Canadians need to know that the same hyperbolic libel of genocide thrown at Israel is being thrown at Canada too. Both claims are wrong. Both claims are meant to demonize. Both are used for ideological extremists and should be rejected.”

It shouldn’t be that surprising but I’m still shocked at people in Canada denying the genocide against Indigenous Peoples. Some of these people also deny the Israeli genocide against Palestinians who are indigenous to Palestine. Supremacist ideologies are one and the same. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A major win! The U.S. sanctions on Francesca Albanese have been suspended by a U.S. court. And in the judge’s words: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest". May the truth tellers prevail. May justice prevail. May Palestine be free and liberated.
