🚨 A large Zionist organization at @YorkUniversity is hosting Israeli soldiers who genocided Palestinians in Gaza this year and teaching Israeli military combat tactics to students. 🚨 1/ On September 22, Hillel York hosted THREE Israeli soldiers, boasting in a now-deleted Instagram post about how two of them served in the 'elite' units Ezog (terrorizing Palestinians in Gaza & the West Bank) & Duvdevan (imitating Arabs to monitor & kill Palestinians). 2/

Yesterday on a panel hosted by @SURJto & @JewsSayNo, Ghassan Najjar, a Palestinian based in Burin, explained that Israel destroyed over 16,000 olive trees in this one village, just in the last 20 years. And Israeli settlers have a new method of poisoning land. 1/ Ghassan added that Israeli settlers destroyed over 1000 olive trees in Burin, which is located in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, just in the last month. Normally, Palestinians can replant olive trees in 3 years. But now settlers are poisoning our land to drive us away. 2/

I can't tell you how devastating it is for me as a Palestinian to run into people who vaguely express sadness over the killing of kids & "war", center Israeli "progressive" voices, & regurgitate Zionist points like "Israel is surrounded by threatening Muslim countries". 1/ Almost 11 months into a genocide perpetrated by Israel against a colonized, occupied, and besieged population, killing over 200,000 Palestinians, and people still perpetuate Israel's racist and deceptive narrative. It's demoralizing and soul crushing. 2/

🚨 Yesterday, about 100 of us protested against a Filipino church in "Scarborough" for hosting an event celebrating Israel & its ongoing genocide against Palestine, sponsored by the Israeli Consulate. The police brutalized & arrested three of us anti-colonial protestors.🚨 1/5 We chanted across the Zionist church. Outside it stood Hindu supremacist Ron Banerjee (who openly advocated for the killing of Muslims and Sikhs), former head of the FBI-listed terrorist group JDL, Meir Weinstein, and other bigots. God-loving church? 2/5

HUGE HUGE victory for Palestine today! The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is the most Zionist organization in the world and is the precursor to the settler colony of Israel. It is the focus of my doctoral research and it just had its charitable status revoked by Canada! 1/

JNF was founded by the World Zionist Congress in 1901 Switzerland explicitly to buy Palestinian land for European Jewish colonization. It used deceptive tactics to purchase from Lebanese/Syrian landowners resulting in the first ever expulsions of Palestinians. 2/

Just published this Instragram post, expanding on a Twitter thread I wrote last year on LGBTQ+ rights from an Islamic perspective. 1/

It's no surprise that Hezbollah rocket fire is igniting huge forest fires in "Israel" bc Zionists converted Palestine into a tinderbox. They claim to have planted over 250 million trees since 1948, but the vast majority of them are invasive pines. Let's discuss Birya Forest. 1/ As Israeli scholar Ilan Pappe writes in "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine", Birya Forest is Israel's biggest man-made forest, strategically planted over the ruins of the 6 🇵🇸 villages of Dishon, Alma, Qaddita, Amqa, Ayn al-Zaytun and Biriyya to hide them. 2/

In 2021, this Zionist activist on campus filed a SLANDEROUS complaint against me with the Equity Office of McMaster, accusing me of harassment & discrimination. After the university hired a private law firm to investigate me for a YEAR, all his complaints were dismissed.
1/ I never mentioned this story before because I felt unsafe, but clearly my "progressive" Zionist harasser Max Lightstone wants to shine light 🤭 on this story in 2024 to drag my name in the mud again, so let's talk about it. 2/

When the British colonized Egypt, they specifically began designing villages to have mosques on the outskirts rather than center, not just bc they hate Islam, but bc mosques were places where Natives could freely gather & plan around resistance. Similarly, encampments... are being heavily policed & suppressed not only bc unis hate 🇵🇸
but bc they're anti-democratic. Camps are accessible places for progressive students, faculty & staff to connect and exchange ideas to mobilize for change, threatening the uni/state's oppressive status quo. 2/

As someone who was elected into my university's Board of Governors in 2020, I cannot stress this enough to all the beautiful Palestine solidarity student movements rising: Do NOT trust your administration. They will lie, manipulate, gaslight, and hurt you. 1/ I served less than half my term as BOG Graduate Student Representative bc I suffered a panic attack after realizing how corrupt & heartless our administrators are. They're no better than politicians. They are often White male CEOs who will happily kick you while you are down. 2/

On Tuesday, @CBCNews @CBCQueensPark journalist witnessed the Parliament blocking my entry because I wore a keffiyeh. He asked if he could interview & take pictures of me. I agreed. He then decided not to even mention me or any other Palestinian in his article. 1/





He chose a White female politician as the cover photo who's anti-🇵🇸 herself. He whitewashes the genocide as "the Israel-Hamas war". Instead of quoting any Palestinian, he cites the Canadian Muslim Lawyers Association, perpetuating our erasure as Palestinians. 2/

We have TWO videos, showing how Ontario's Parliament enforced its racist keffiyeh ban against us this week. Even after I explained how the scarf is a key part of Palestinian heritage, we were asked to remove it unless it was worn as a hijab. We WILL be launching a lawsuit. 1/ This video shows the bigotry & absurdity of the keffiyeh ban. Muslim🇵🇸 & female bodies are policed to decide if a keffiyeh constitutes a hijab & can actually enter parliament. Queen's Park effectively constitutes an apartheid checkpoint now. 2/

Today, I walked into the Ontario Parliament as an unapologetic 🇵🇸 woman, wearing my keffiyeh, even after the Legislature banned it. My beautiful comrades & I managed to enter with a bit of creativity, wearing it as a hijab, colourful shawl & scrunchie. 1/



The keffiyeh is not only a symbol of 🇵🇸 resistance but a heritage piece. Yet, when police at the Parliament saw me with my keffiyeh, they barred me entrance. It wasn't until I said I was wearing it as a hijab that they spoke to management & allowed me to walk in the building. 2/

🚨🚨🚨
Last night at the @YorkUniversity Alumni Show in Toronto, Indigenous Judge Harry LaForme gave a speech calling Zionists Indigenous, demonizing 🇵🇸 anti-colonial resistance, erasing the ongoing genocide, & asserting the moral superiority of Indigenous people here. 1/ Here are quotes from his speech, provided by another Indigenous traitor whom he cited @karenrestoule: “As an Anishinaabe, I am troubled by the hatred, the hatred against Jews, and the disappointing ignorance, fueled by misinformation emanating out of university campuses."

* PLEASE READ*
A highly trusted source tells me that the journalist brother of the woman who reported seeing other 🇵🇸 women raped by the Israeli army in al-Shifa Hospital was pressured to later recant & claim she was exaggerating. 1/ I want to remind folks of the brilliant analysis of female scholar Dr @el_sabawi from Gaza. Local political (including 🇵🇸) leaders likely feared loss of morale & uprisings in solidarity with 🇵🇸 women if news broke of Israeli rape against women. 2/

I want to point out three major problems with Motaz's post:

1. When 🇵🇸 women were harassed by the IOF in the West Bank it was the resistance (which Motaz condemned) in Gaza that defended them.

https://twitter.com/azaizamotaz9/status/1771935665577460154

2. Generalizing that fellow Palestinians are failing the people of Gaza is absurd, especially as Israeli snipers are firing at Palestinians in the West Bank for merely stepping outside their homes. Meanwhile, Israel's occupation is facilitated by the PA which Motaz supports.

Like many Palestinians right now, I'm angry. I'm hurt & I feel betrayed by Motaz. When he shook hands with Mahmoud Abbas recently, I stayed quiet. But then he covertly slandered 🇵🇸 resistance. Red line. And now I see his Facebook from 2017 where he glorifies Abbas. 1/ Abbas is not a 🇵🇸 president but a hated dictator. And he doesn't really control the West Bank. How can he when it's under Israeli occupation?? Rather, he collaborates w Israel. And what I'll never forget or forgive is how he waived his right of return. 2/

A story that gave me goosebumps:
On Thursday evening, two comrades & I were walking back to our car after protesting against colonial land theft at BAYT synagogue. A Zionist suddenly ran towards us from across the road & my brother began recording him just in case. 1/ There were two pro-Palestinian men walking behind us in the dark &, when they noticed the Zionist, they immediately sped up & walked in front of us. I asked my brother, "Warn them a Zionist is stalking us" & so he did but they didn't respond. 2/

There Is Nothing Kosher About Genocidal Sales of Stolen Palestinian Land Being Made By Zionist Activists Under the Cover of Synagogues

FROM: @JewsSayNo Toronto 🧵 Once a Synagogue Allows Itself to Be Converted Into a Real Estate Showroom It Loses Its Religious Exceptions

Toronto Jewish communities are deeply troubled that Zionist activists across the GTA are...using Jewish houses of worship to...give cover for genocidal activities. 2/

I've been wanting to share a story from a recent Toronto protest I attended against the genocide in Gaza as a reminder of the power of white male privilege & how it can be leveraged to end oppression: We as protestors were outnumbered by cops who were physically harassing us. 1/ It was a small but mighty protest. We chanted & called out the cops for their violence against us & complicity in the genocide. All of a sudden though, two white men on our side began powerfully yelling at the line of cops. Most of us people of colour went silent, shocked. 2/

The Canadian Minister's comment that Palestine was "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it" is mainstream among Zionists. Here's a screenshot from the website of the JNF, which is the most important Zionist group worldwide & was founded in 1901 as a precursor to Israel. 1/

https://twitter.com/seanorr/status/1753152000840388964

JNF/Israel claims that "The first Jewish pioneers who came to the land of Israel towards the end of the twentieth century found a desolate land that provided no shade whatsoever," because like other settler colonies, it erases Indigenous peoples/defames them as neglectful. 2/
