Canada has denounced Palestine for failing to hold elections. How many eligible "voters" are still buried under the rubble isn't known. But the UN reports that Israel kills a child a day. This week this 8-year-old child was murdered by an Israeli drone copter. She deserved better.

wtaf @faberbooks.bsky.social ?! Faber is the most storied UK independent publisher. It publishes more high profile Irish fiction authors than any other publisher outside of Ireland If Faber's abandoning Sally Rooney, it is abandoning freedom of expression and losing the trust of ALL Irish writers.

One from the archives Sally Rooney in 2024: ".. we are witnessing an unfolding genocide.. the roots of this particular tragedy are in the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine & the apartheid system.. keep protesting.. it is the least that we can do"

Actual Cancel Culture of a significant cultural figure [unlike where far right extremists engage in hate speech & are held accountable]. It’s extremism like this, & the disinterest of the current UK Labour govt in stopping the shift to the far right, that’s deeply worrying.

@markgerretsen.bsky.social As long as the Liberals remain committed to Israel, they have no credibility. The party now represents Zionism, capitalism, rushed omnibus bills, AI, oil, weapons and touting dictatorships like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE as allies. It feels like polite fascism.

I’m increasingly convinced, watching his politics, that what motivates Carney the most isn’t brutally ~pragmatic~ economics. The pipeline shows he’s willing to make moves with no economic case, seemingly to be popular in Alberta. I think he’s motivated by his own legacy.

How Israel's relentless killing of over 1000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2025 can be called a "ceasefire" is beyond me- its brainwashing. Aljazeera noted: Israel attacked Gaza on 325 of the past 361 days, leaving only 36 days with no reported attacks, deaths or injuries.
