Israeli forces killed 11 members of the Abu Shaaban family in Gaza on Friday—the deadliest single violation of the fragile ceasefire since it took effect eight days ago. This is what 'ceasefire' means under necropolitics.

Today is Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I in 1918. The official commemorations never mention what actually ended the war: the mutinies and revolutions which swept Russia and Germany, as well as in Bulgarian, French and British forces stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1096...

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

#OTD November 10, 1975 the UN General Assembly passed resolution 3379 which “Determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.”
It is true, but of course much of the “western” world, incl Canada, voted against it. It was rescinded 16 years later with a US motion from GHW Bush.

Israel is heading towards legalizing the murder of Palestinian detainees, including children as young as 12 years old. They’re already torturing to death and stealing their organs, so I guess they plan to kill even more hostages. It’s not blood libel if it’s true.

Israel’s ecocide of Gaza

Umm Hisham, pregnant and displaced, trudges through the foul water with her children. They have nowhere else to go.”

Increased spending on “defence” and cutbacks on international aid.

In #Budget2025, Canada describes $2.7 billion in cuts to international assistance as “savings.”
But let’s be clear Mark Carney: aid cuts aren’t savings.

Israel wants us to believe that they were just peacefully blooming in the desert on Oct 7, and were attacked out of the blue. Israel is, and has always been, a terror state.
#OtD 3 Nov 1956 the Israeli army massacred hundreds of Palestinians in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in Gaza during the Israeli-France-UK invasion of Egypt. They lined up men aged 16-50 and machine-gunned them. Between 275 and 1200 were killed stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1245...

Israel is forging ahead with a new way to murder Palestinians. 1000s of these hostages are detained without charge under “administrative detention, and hundreds are children. They secretly torture and kill them, but now they are making it “legal”.
Israel must be forcefully stopped.

According to Israeli Channel 12, Israel has approved in its first reading a law allowing the death penalty for Palestinian hostages. The report stated that the bill passed the National Security Committee’s initial reading and is expected to be presented for a full vote in the Knesset on Wednesday.

Canada’s few actions against the genocide in Gaza have been performative acts to appear non-complicit. Meanwhile, Israel is repeatedly violating a precarious ceasefire, while also escalating violent settlement of the West Bank.
