Baraa, 23, faces a dilemma: Canadian authorities won’t issue him a study permit until he submits biometrics — fingerprints and photographs — but to do so he must leave the Gaza Strip, which is virtually impossible without already holding a travel visa.

Two men who occupy prominent positions in Canada’s media landscape just travelled to Israel, where they received a briefing from the Israeli government.

Yeah. What are journalism ethics anyway?

Those men were TVO’s Steve Paikin and Global News’ Ben Mulroney:

The UAE has successfully used Canada to launder its image. With trade deals they ensure you won’t say anything about their human rights record or that they’re funding a genocide in Sudan 🇸🇩

During our visit last week, the UAE committed to invest $70 billion into Canada.

Herut Canada was initially registered as a charity in January 2021, its roots with the pre-Israeli state Irgun terror group. They market themselves as a proud Zionist organization. Their long list of activities includes support for the IOF and "practical Zionism" (aka settlement)
Dark teal background with bold title: BREAKING: CRA revokes the charitable status of Herut Canada, a proudly Zionist organization. Photos in the bottom show four people standing facing the camera, and another shows four people with their backs to the camera. In the left photo we see the Toronto Police Chief beside Herut Canada's National director who along with two others are in full tactical gear. hose with their backs to the camera are wearing Magen Herut Canada t-shirts.

🔴 BREAKING: Israel Launches New Wave of Strikes Across Southern Lebanon The Israeli military has unleashed heavy airstrikes across various parts of southern Lebanon in what Al Jazeera described as the most serious escalation since the ceasefire that ended the 2024 war with Hezbollah. Israel’s security cabinet convened today to assess the escalating situation in Lebanon, Israel’s Channel 12 reports. The outlet earlier said that Israeli officials are preparing for a potential new confrontation with Hezbollah, aimed at weakening the group and pushing both Hezbollah and the Lebanese government toward what they describe as a “stable agreement” with Israel. Lebanon’s Army, L’Orient Today reports, submitted its second monthly report today to the Cabinet outlining operations carried out south of the Litani River to locate and dismantle Hezbollah weapons depots and other military infrastructure in the border area. 📸 Israeli airstrike hits an iron workshop and a sawmill between the towns of Tura and Al-Abbasiyeh in south Lebanon.

He has four children Muhammad, 11, Jana, 10, Yazan, 8 and little Adam who is only one and was born during the war. He needs help
