We saw more empathy for 40 imaginary babies that never even existed than any of the children torn apart by Israeli delivered/American supplied bombs. Infants and children we have seen the most horrific photos and videos of.

Lebanon counts 62 Israeli violations of the ceasefire deal since it entered into effect last week, including 10 breaches on Sunday alone. These include airstrikes in the south of Lebanon and machine gun fire in areas where the Israeli army hasn’t withdrawn yet.

via Regards Palestinens on the importance of #PACBI: "Regards Palestinians supports the removal of ‘Rule of Stone’ from RIDM (Montreal International Documentary Festival)'s program. We believe this step was necessary in light of the film’s partial funding by Israeli state-supported institutions."
1 of 4 - Slide description: mauve background with black text that reads: Regards Palestiniens supports the removal of 'Rule of Stone' from RIDM's (Montreal International Documentary Festival) program. We believe this step was necessary in light of the film's partial funding by Israeli state-sponsored institutions. 2 of 4 - Slide description: brown background with white text that reads: Regards Palestiniens endorses and supports adherence to the guidelines of The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). PACBI specifically targets Israeli institutional funding in the arts which serves to culturally whitewash and legitimize the Israeli state. While Rule of Stone is critical of the state of Israel, its funding from Israeli institutions contributes to the cultural normalization of Israel as a democratic state that upholds freedom of speech. This narrative stands in stark contrast to Israel’s systematic killing of journalists covering the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, its forced closures of Al Jazeera offices in Jerusalem and Ramallah, its sanctions against critical Israeli media outlets like Haaretz, and its leveraging of social media data to surveil, censor, and target Palestinian activists and their allies. 3 of 4 - Slide description: brown background with white text that reads: PACBI calls for the boycott of cultural infrastructures that fund, produce and distribute cultural products—such as films— that normalize the Israeli state, regardless of the creators’ identity or the content of their work. This approach targets systemic complicity rather than individuals, aligning with international law and rejecting all forms of discrimination based on identity, nationality or personal belief. The deplatforming of Rule of Stone shouldn’t be understood as a response to the filmmaker’s nationality or the film’s content, but to the film’s institutional funding. 4 of 4 - Slide description: white background with black text that reads: PACBI is not a boycott of artists or individuals based on their nationality, ethnicity, or religion, but is a refusal to engage with projects that support or are supported by the Israeli occupation, either explicitly or implicitly. Adherence to PACBI would entail: - Boycotting all cultural products sponsored or funded by the Israeli state, regardless of whether the sponsorship is partial or full. - Refusing to host or promote any events that create a false symmetry between oppressor and oppressed, particularly when they involve normalization efforts. - Refraining from cultural collaborations with complicit Israeli institutions (such as Docaviv International Documentary Film Festival).

via PYMmontreal: "We call on everyone - Arabs, Muslims, workers, students, and solidarity allies - to join our coalition on Friday November 29th to make it clear that the people stand with Palestine." #palestine #montreal #freepalestine
Image description: an English beige, red and black event poster for a Palestine solidarity protest in Montreal on November 29th, 6pm. Meeting point will be at Square Victoria, 525 Viger West. The poster reads: 'The people stand with Palestine' and 'international day of solidarity with the Palestinian people' The text from the original instagram post reads: November 29th is commemorated as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. It was that day in 1947 in which the United Nations’ General Assembly adopted resolution 181, which came to be known as the “Partition Resolution.” 77 years later, Israel continues its brutal genocide in Gaza and escalation with bombings and ground invasions in Lebanon. We call on everyone - Arabs, Muslims, workers, students, and solidarity allies - to join our coalition on Friday November 29th to make it clear that the people stand with Palestine. ••• 🚨🇵🇸MONTRÉAL : JOURNÉE INTERNATIONALE DE SOLIDARITÉ AVEC LE PEUPLE PALESTINIEN🚨 Le 29 novembre commémore la Journée internationale de solidarité avec le peuple palestinien. C’est ce jour-là, en 1947, que l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies a adopté la résolution 181, connue sous le nom de “Plan de partage”. 77 ans plus tard, Israël commet un génocide brutal à Gaza depuis plus d’un an et escalade avec des bombardements et des tentatives d’invasions terrestres au Liban. Nous envoyons un appel à tous - Arabes, Musulmans, travailleurs, étudiants et alliés solidaires - rejoignez notre coalition le vendredi 29 novembre pour montrer clairement que le peuple se tient aux côtés de la Palestine.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Justice for all the Palestinian healthcare workers who have been detained without charges, and have been brutally tortured, sexually and psychologically abused, and murdered by the Israeli forces. Justice for Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh.
A sign that reads “workers against war - our hands won’t make the tools of war” and “in loving memory of Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh. Bravery in blood. A hero. A martyr.”
