Curious (and beyond shameful) that @lapresse.ca would fail to mention that the store targeted with gunfire Sunday morning, Supermarché Mizan, is an openly Palestinian-owned business. Feels like a pretty giant detail to omit. #montreal #antipalestinianracism #doublestandards

Un commerce situé à une centaine de mètres de la station de métro Guy-Concordia a vraisemblablement été atteint par un coup de feu.

"Past and present Board members of the Azrieli network represent ties to illegal weaponry research (via Weizmann Institute), Israeli military intelligence, and efforts to ‘rebrand’ the image of Israel, donating $25k annually to Honest Reporting Canada."

"The Azrieli Group has holdings in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Azrieli Group also continues to profit from the colonization of the occupied Palestinian territories through its shares in Bank Leumi."

via Rehab Nazzal: Israel has been testing weapons in Gaza since '08. After each of the 5 onslaughts on the Strip between '08 - '23, [they] marketed weapons to international regimes as 'tested & proved'. Over the past 14months, new weapons have been used, the latest of which melts flesh and bones.

🔥 from The Link: #ConcordiaUniversity "refuses to address the real issues at hand—its complicity in violence, its financial ties to colonialism and war profiteers, and its silence in the face of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people." #montreal #bds
Gaslight, deny, repeat | Opinions
Students respond to the hypocrisy of Concordia University’s call “to denounce violence in all its forms” while the university still supports genocide in Palestine.
