  1. '[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.'

  2. ‘This area has seen both war and #ecocide. The settler colonial consciousness aims for an empty land to control — but the resistant ecologies of this area keep defying those goals. The Israelis now know that alongside the military resistance they face here, they must contend with life itself.' - #MuniraKhayyat

  3. 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.

    Over the years, I've collected a lot of activist art graphics from Tumblr, Reddit & other sites where the artist wasn't always identified. I looked up who these artists were to identify them.

    The 1st is by Roger Peet.

    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.

  5. #Chinese #professor Jiang Xueqin condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying “the worst thing you can do in modern society is kill children.”

    He argued that #Israel has left itself no way out, describing its approach as “all or nothing” and accusing its leadership of provoking the world deliberately — “starting fights and shouting ‘death to Arabs’ to unite themselves by dividing everyone else.”

  6. "[A]ll of the most high-profile Western plans—not least Trump’s own—proceed from the same premises: that #Palestinians have no right to determine their future, that the best they can hope for is to exchange self-determination for construction projects and accept #apartheid in place of genocide." - Sara Roy

  7. "Trying to fathom the world-ending loss of the place that centered my ethnography of life and war in #SouthLebanon, I sent a voice-note to my close friend Ghida asking how she felt about the erasure of her beloved village. She responded, 'I don’t know. It is as if we have become numb.' "

  9. 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.

    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.

    Published by the #ITDC Central Offices in #Brussels and #Toronto. For more information write to [email protected] .

  11. #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.

  12. 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.
