"Are these the instances of “hate and “antisemitism” she responded to with “messages of peace” that read, “Our love is stronger than your [star of David] hate” painted in blue and white?

"Opening your news segment with such a sentence implies a bias against the action of the protesters. It undermines the intentions behind the protest, which was to push the Canadian government to implement an arms embargo on Israel, because of Israel’s genocide in Gaza." Continue reading

"According to reports starting in January, when they began accepting applications, there has been constant criticism related to Canada’s 1,000-person quota and the application’s stringent demands, like incredibly invasive and detailed questions.

To read about those small details that are particularly dehumanizing is helpful to understand the flagrant atrocity that is Israel’s occupation of Gaza." Continue reading

"Although popular Canadian media has vaguely alluded to the rising levels of starvation in Gaza, Dalia Al Awqati provides the full breadth of context needed for an audience to know the full scale of starvation, dehydration, and malnutrition in Gaza, as well as Israel’s unilateral responsibility for these outcomes."

"Bushnell’s statements echo his message incredibly clearly: “I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all.” He yells, “Free Palestine,” until he falls to the ground, overcome by the flames."
