This is total bullshit.
If speaking out against genocide in Palestine is now classified as being antisemitic, than count me in as being the biggest antisemite in Canada. Sorry, but
being quiet is what the Germans did.
Fuck that!
Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism! Public Safety Canada has described anti-Zionism as a form of antisemitism.
This sets a dangerous precedent for Palestinian rights.
Send an email to tell Canada’s Minister of Public Safety to retract this statement.

Super unpopular opinion:
A lot fewer people would be struggling with their mental health if they had:
A safe place to live, food in the fridge, and enough money to pay the bills.
It’s hard to work on your mental health when every day is about survival.
Money may not buy happiness, but poverty sure as hell buys stress.

You'd think it would be bigger news that a US owned national newspaper in Canada is publishing violent threats towards the only Jewish leader of a major political party in the country
Avi Lewis is a Jewish politician refusing to be silent about Israel’s genocide—and now he’s being threatened with violence.
@judyrebick writes that the lack of uproar reveals just how powerful the pro-Israel consensus remains among Canada’s elite.

Benjamin Netanyahu is three weeks from an election he cannot afford to lose, because if he does, he goes to prison.
He is still on trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, and he WILL end up in prison unless something BIG happens to stall proceedings.
Something like a major escalation with Iran. A real Iranian strike gives him the one thing a courtroom will not, a reason to freeze the country, rally the base, and postpone the election.
Watch and see.

Who is the 'hostile subversive' now, Secret Agent Man Andrew McGuinty?
Ya snooling little spooks.
Incompetence from top to bottom.
When CSIS was given the opportunity to break the law, why would we be surprised that they would break the law?

None of the problems Canadians face are caused by Indigenous people. None of them. Almost every single problem Indigenous people face in Canada is because of the Canadian state. Any Canadian harassing or blaming Indigenous people is a stooge of the lowest quality.

Note: I don't vote in Settler elections.
So don't come at me with your ASSumptions.
This is chilling - and wrong.
The National Post recently crossed a dangerous line by publishing call for violence against Canada's federal NDP leader.
"Avi Lewis is not the threat that needs to be dealt with, Postmedia is."
NEW from @SMohyeddin who breaks it all down:

when you materially benefit from exploiting a group of people, you tend to dehumanize them, so that you feel less bad about what you're doing. It's similar to how landlords shit-talk and nitpick their tenants or how westerners villify immigrants from the global south

Niigaan Sinclair calls out shallow national newspaper commentary and says real conversations about issues facing Indigenous people come from those who live and work on them every day.

Andrea Dworkin, 1983:
Cornell university is a liberal university.
Liberal men think women are public property (Cornell 7 gang rape)
Conservative men think women are private property (trad wife bangmaid).
Misogyny exists on a spectrum. Men, as a class, dehumanize and exploit women.

Students at St. Francis Xavier University here in #Antigonish giving out 'Cornell vibes' as they hang a massive banner asking rival team to 'bend over - we're gonna give it to ya'.
It tracks though, as this is a Predator Training institution.

Who is 'we'?
I'll tell ya - "we" is the so-called 'Western' world. Euro cultures....whyte even.....
Capitalism has normalized the idea that it’s okay for humans to lack basic shelter, food, or medicine if they don’t have money.
That’s not natural human behavior, that’s learned greed sold as ‘personal responsibility.’ When did we accept this as moral?

Não entendo os estadunidenses. Se querem lítio da Bolívia, o que custa negociar com o governo boliviano? Por que precisam matar, corromper, roubar o lítio dos bolivianos? Que gente horrenda gasta bilhões fazendo o mal quando poderia simplesmente serem honestos e dignos?
