It is farcical to suggest a distinction between settler and state violence: They are part of the same settler-colonial structure, and not only complement each other but depend on one another. — Fathi Nimer, The West Bank: Settler Colonial Spillover of the Gaza Genocide While Israel continues its brutal genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, armed […]

We Must Oppose Israel’s Dangerous Gamble Before It’s Too Late
Following World War II, Albert Camus posed a “formidable gamble” to those who had survived a tragedy of immense proportions. “We’re in history up to our necks,” he observed, yet we must wager that “words are more powerful than munitions.” “Leave or die” are the horrid words threatening largely unprotected Palestinian civilians in Gaza as […]

7 Ways that Canada Must Support the ICJ Decision on Israel
Earlier this month, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) finally concluded that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal and must end immediately.

Starmer learnt that the Price of Power was Support for Genocide
By a crushing majority, the 17 judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled more than five months ago that Israel was “plausibly” committing genocide in Gaza.

Refusing the Language of Silence
It’s an increasingly familiar contradiction: digital platforms that position themselves as an accessible alternative to corporate media emerge as new censors in their own right. Social media and the internet make it possible to disseminate material that would otherwise have been suppressed, thereby helping to bring alternative conversations to the fore of mainstream awareness.
