Help my friend's father in northern #Gaza give water from a small well under his workshop to hundreds of people near him.
He needs to buy fuel to run the pump to get the water.
Please donate. Your dollars will translate directly into water for desperate people.

"Today, civil defense teams and ambulances stopped, because Israel did not allow gasoline to enter, so people are transporting the wounded to the hospital by pulling a donkey cart." - Rizek in #Gaza, who we have been helping for years.

One of the men we're sustaining in #Gaza sent us this video.
Please send funds to help his family and others buy the minimal, scarce food that exists.
Without us, they have nothing.

What do we make in Canada that can replace Manischewitz for kiddush -- no longer available at LCBO?

The Crown claimed there is "no evidence of engagement" with the IDF even tho we demonstrated that Sar-El's recruits all live and work on IDF bases, must obey IDF officers, wear IDF uniforms, eat IDF food, etc, etc.
Preposterous to claim "no evidence of engagement".

Palestinian-Canadian artist Rehab Nazzal and I succeeded in having charges laid against Sar-El Canada for recruiting for the Israeli military in Canada.
The Crown shut down the case.
Our appeal was denied this week, but our fight for justice continues. tinyurl.com/nazzalmivasair

“Shabbat with Sarah” by Jews4Jama in #HamOnt was absolutely beautiful.
About 25 sweet souls came together for candles, kiddush & sacred song.
Sarah gave us a very deep, thoughtful talk about being an elected official whose hands won’t be tied by a party.

Conscientious objectors Tal Mitnick and Einat Gerlitz both spent time in jail for refusing Israel's compulsory military enlistment.
They're speaking in #HamOnt on Mar 15 thanks to a Canada-wide speaking tour by @ijvcanada.bsky.social

"After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw my candidacy in this provincial election," NDP candidate Natasha Doyle-Merrick for the greater good of her community and our province.

I hope Robin Lennox in #HamOnt is taking a long walk in the snow tonight.

Jews say NO to ethnic cleansing.
I'm one of 350 rabbis who signed a full-page ad in today's NYT.
Palestinians have been expelled from their homes and their land for nearly 80 years. Time to make it stop. #Gaza

The Zionist lobby arrogates to itself sole authority to speak as "the Jewish community" even as it excludes & suppresses Jews who oppose the #genocide of Palestinians.
Here it stokes fear of "antisemitism" to enforce its support for Israel. #ONpoli

Check out what a neighbour just sent me ⬇️. The @ontariondp.bsky.social is paying an out-of-province call center to get ppl in #HamOnt to vote against @sarahjama.bsky.social -- and pretending it comes from the ONDP office.

No wonder why. ONDP has money but no volunteers. Please share.
