  1. "The line that the onslaught by #Israel against #Gaza, the #WestBank and #Lebanon is about Hamas and Hizbullah is undercut by a closer look at the indiscriminate nature of the killing and uprooting of Arabs whatever their religion. The Vatican has expressed its concern at the violence against Christian villages in Southern Lebanon and in Gaza. St Porphyrius Church in Gaza was destroyed by Israel in October 2023."

    On August 17, 2026, the military police and farmers launched yet another series of attacks against the Guarani-Kaiowá Indigenous people, this time at the Aratikuty reclaimed land in Dourados, in the territories occupied by the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

    On the 19th, the military police carried out an eviction without a court order. They attacked Indigenous people with tear gas, rubber bullets, and live rounds. They also arrested five people.

  4. "Today I speak with #ArabBarghouti about his father, #MarwanBarghouti, his arrest in 2002, the political trial that followed, and why his case has become central to the broader struggle for Palestinian rights. Arab also explains how the prison system has worsened since October 2023, and why he sees Marwan as a symbol of hope, legitimacy, and political unity in #Palestine." - #FrankBarat

  5. "Ceasing fire in #Gaza means continuing oppression by other means. Vocabulary is managed like territory, unilaterally. #Israel, once again, is making an ostensibly temporary situation into one of stable degradation – relative stability for Israel, further depredation for Gaza."

Among the descendants of the Palestinian families who own the site is historian #RashidKhalidi. He details his family’s nearly 30 year legal battle against the planned embassy — and reflects on whether the hundred-year war on #Palestine may finally be entering a new chapter..."

'[C]ontrasting today’s deepening dependence and the loss of heirloom varieties against the region’s storied past, said to be the birthplace of #agriculture itself, feels like rubbing salt in the wound. “Lebanon’s millennia-old agricultural heritage—one of the oldest in the world—is under imminent threat,” Salloum told me.'

  15. "The wars in southern #Lebanon and #Gaza are exceptional in the degree to which #Israel has been directly targeting medical infrastructure—not to strain it but to literally flatten it. In Gaza this pattern was noted early on: Israel dropped its bombs closer and closer to medical facilities, then switched to carrying out direct strikes with impunity." - #MaryTurfah

  16. Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
    On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

    We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

    I was a part of #StopTMX in 4 separate frontlines places across mainland BC & saw the ecocide, up close. BC NDP sent their CIRG goons in at remote areas of BC, where we had set up citizens watch stations. CIRG came to harass, beat up & eventually remove us. #RCMP protect corporate interests/profits, not citizens.

'#Gaza has thus become a symbol both of #WesternHypocrisy and of its victims’ recourse to #humanRights and #internationalLaw as a final forum of appeal for collective deliverance—the deliverance of the “wretched of the earth,” as Frantz Fanon famously called colonized subjects, whoever and wherever they may be.'

    About Murder by Decree

    Murder by Decree is an #uncensored #record of the planned #extermination of #IndigenousChildren in #Canada’s murderous Indian #ResidentialSchools. It is issued as a corrective #CounterReport to the miscarriage of #justice by Church and State known as the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” #TRC. Based on eyewitness #testimonies and #archival #documentation deliberately suppressed or ignored by the TRC, Murder by Decree proves that the #genocide of #IndigenousPeople began as a religion-led campaign and continues to be a deliberate governmental policy in Canada. This Counter Report reveals these startling facts: – Over half of Indian residential school children began dying the very first year these church-run facilities were opened – This huge mortality rate continued unabated for over a half century because of deliberate practices of germ warfare according to a prescribed monthly “death quota” – Evidence of these crimes and their intentional nature has been continually destroyed by the RCMP and the #Catholic, #Anglican and #UnitedChurch since at least 1960 – The same genocide continues today, is aimed at indigenous women and children, and is driven by foreign corporate interests hungry for #NativeLands and resources Murder by Decree is issued by The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC), an international #coalition of #jurists and #HumanRights groups. The ITDC was formed in December, 2015 to investigate the disappearance of people in Canada, prosecute those responsible and prevent a further #whitewash by Canada of its #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This report is an answer to these #crimes and an urgent summons to the world and to all #Canadians to live no longer under #genocidal #regimes.

  23. #ColonialCrimes : World #Map of #Justice Initiatives.

    “Don’t portray us as a band of beggars coming to demand reparation. […] I think the Europeans have obligations to us, like all the unfortunate, but especially to us for harms that they caused. That is what I call reparation.” These words of Aimé Césaire, renowned Martinican author of “Discourse on Colonialism”, still resonate everywhere in the world 71 years after they were published.

    The issue concerns 70% of the world’s population, either as a citizen of a colonizing country or as one of the colonized, according to French #history professor Bouda Etemad, author of the book “Crimes and Reparations, the West faced with its colonial past”. The colonized and their descendants, he writes, have the right to demand #reparation from the #European powers for the harms these States committed over a period of 500 years, from the “discovery” of #America by Christopher #Colombus to independence in the second half of the 20th century. Forced labour, slavery, persecution, executions, extermination, bombardments, looting and forced cultural #assimilation: the list is long of violent #abuses that accompanied #colonization in #Africa, the Near East, #Asia, the Americas, #Oceania and northern #Europe.

    This special focus concentrates on the period known as the “second #colonial empire” which from 1815 marked the new #expansionism of the Western powers until the wave of independence in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

    #Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.

    Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people

    In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.

  25. “ 'If the Democrats want the vote of Indian people, we want them to stand with us, not only on issues like the apology around boarding schools, but we also want them to stand with us in the solidarity that we have calling for a #ceasefire in #Palestine,' says #NickTilsen, founder and CEO of the #Indigenous-led #NDNCollective."
