'In the report #BTselem has written, we tried to read these political languages together. The word we settled on to describe what these seemingly separate acts add up to is “elimination.” The logic of elimination does not require every Palestinian to disappear. It seeks to make Palestinian collective life increasingly impossible while securing permanent Israeli Jewish control.'

"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."

'[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.'

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.

"Imagine looking at a photo of an injured or killed child and thinking—at all, even subconsciously—that it makes you look bad. Now imagine that you see nothing beyond how it makes you look, and you have our #mainstreamMedia’s current approach concerning #Israel’s genocide, set to damage control mode until it becomes time to admit hard truths." - #MaryTurfah

Before I head out for the day ->
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.https://m.youtube.com/shorts/RtqZWMe0uig

Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.
River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.
"My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

#RecommendedReading for #Decolonial #Education. #Free #OpenAccess report.
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.

#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.
