"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

'[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.'

“The last grievance in the Declaration of Independence is about 'merciless Indian savages' [...] According to our founders, in their own words, the thing that they were most angry about was Native people.”

#Yemeni #cartoonist - Kamal Sharaf is unapologetic about his bold #political beliefs & #ArtActivism to illustrate his support for the resistance against past & present #ColonialViolence #genocide. He had been targeted, arrested & jailed for his resistance art activism before.

Most of his strongest #PoliticalArt pieces are targeted at illustrating the collaborative colonial land grabs driven #terrorism from #Israel & #Zionists in #USgovernment - both who blatantly violate #InternationalLaws. Both are guilty of multiple #WarCrimes & both aren't to be trusted. Bigoted buddies in ethnic cleansing genocide of Arab peoples. Best friends in pathological pitiful lying.

Recommended #documentary film.

Between 1952 and 1960, Britain fought a vicious war in Kenya against the anticolonial Mau Mau movement. It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides. For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden. Piecing together survivor testimonies and expert analysis from British and Kenyan historians, this film tells a complete and detailed story for the first time of how Britain was involved in systemic torture – including accounts of murders, rapes and forced castrations.

A Very British Way of Torture is a film by Ed McGown and produced by Rob Newman.

A #delegate from #MERC #Indonesia, a #MedicalRescue committee, says they received “two warnings” from the #Israeli army to evacuate Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern #Gaza, forcing the delegation to cease their #medical assistance operations.

Hossam Abu Safieh, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, said Israel conducted several strikes on Friday that hit the facility, one of the last functioning #health centres in the area.
"There was a series of air strikes on the northern and western sides of the #hospital, accompanied by intense and direct fire," he said, adding that four staff were killed and no #surgeons were left at the site.

Atta Jaber’s family has farmed the Baqa'a Valley in the illegally occupied #WestBank for hundreds of years, but since Israel’s 1967 occupation, their land has been confiscated piecemeal by Israeli settlers, and their homes and ancient farming terraces attacked and demolished. “The sound of the bulldozer is the music of the occupation,” says Atta - yet he preaches love and peace. Uniquely spanning 25 years in a farmer’s struggle to stay steadfast, this film is a moving #testimony to the depth of one man’s #humanity in the face of intensifying settler violence and intimidation. Rooted in the West Bank is a documentary by Bruno Sorrentino and Uri Fruchtmann.

#RCMP issued an #apology on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of #StreetChecks and other harmful interactions with members of the #African #NovaScotian community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.

In his 2019 report, written for the #NovaScotia #HumanRights Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by #police and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the #Halifax region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.

It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of #Black #SocialWorkers.

Building the #SettlerColonial Order: #Police (In)Actions in Response to #Violence Against #IndigenousWomen in #Canada

Abstract:

In this article we focus on missing and murdered #Indigenous women, girls, and #2SLGBTQQIA people in Canada. We theorize narratives that police employ to respond to this violence. Using a broad data sample of #testimonies across Canada, this article contributes to understanding how police (in)actions make sense of, justify, and dismiss violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. We draw from 48 in-depth semi-structured interviews with Indigenous peoples in Toronto and other Canadian cities and 219 testimonies from the Canadian National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (NIMMIWG). The #analysis finds that police repeatedly use similar frames (topics), styles (linguistic and behavioral strategies), and storylines (narratives) to respond to violence against Indigenous peoples. While framing Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people as deviants helps police make sense of and explain violence against them, the use of verbal and behavioral strategies (indifference, callousness, and lack of information) and storylines (“they were [insert pathologizing frame]” and “there’s nothing we can do”) allows police to dismiss and justify acts of violence. We argue that the frames, styles, and storylines employed by police perpetuate violence. Police (in)actions are fundamental to achieving settler #colonialism’s ideological and material dimensions.

According to a new report by the #Israeli newspaper #Haaretz, the number of Israelis #relocating to #Canada has increased considerably during the Israeli aggression on both #Gaza and #Lebanon.

Almost 10,000 #settlers moved from Israeli #OccupiedTerritories to Canada this year, as per the report. The newspaper reported that 7,850 Israelis filed for and were given work visas in Canada in 2024, representing a fivefold increase compared to the previous year.

For context, 1,585 Israelis were granted #WorkVisas in Canada in 2023.

The report revealed that the key reasons for the #migration were "Israel's" precarious #political and security position, heightened conflict, perceived #socioeconomic inequities, and the Israeli occupation's unwillingness to address crucial concerns.

According to the most recent data from the #Canadian Ministry of #Immigration, 3,425 temporary work visas and 4,424 regular work licenses were awarded to Israelis between December 2023 and September 2024.

Privatized ethnic cleansing by Israel.
Sponsored by USA.
Allies in Geopolitical Genocidal Evil Terrorism.

After a year of genocide, Israel is ready for the next stage: outsourcing the military occupation of Gaza to foreign firms. What can Palestinians expect in these so-called “gated communities”?

This is an #educational video for international audiences on #geopolitics of Zionist terrorism #MediaManipulation tactics.

He ensured I was medically OK - AFTER shitass #RCMPCIRG CO - SGT JASON CHARNEY(Google him) sent my #BCAmbulance help away - telling them no one needed medical assistance. #RCMP tried to lie to me & try to force me into using their corrupt & unaccountable RCMP #medics.
Same kinda 'medics' caught on cameras, pepper spraying non-violent protestors & threatened more than 8 journalists who also got pepper sprayed & assaulted.

The notion of #police being there to #ServeAndProtect in times of need often does not apply to #Indigenous, #Black or other #RacializedMinorities in #Canada. The notion of “help” more often resembles harm.

This leads to the question, why does #PoliceBrutality against Indigenous and Black people continue to happen? Because it is a symptom of the structural #racism that exists within #Canadian society.
