Gaza is being starved to death!

The past few months have pushed our people to the edge — children are dying from hunger and dehydration, families are being wiped out under siege and bombing, and exterminated by a lack of food, water and medical care. This is a murderous genocide, and starvation has become an intentional weapon used by Israel. This inhumanity must be stopped through world protests and actions, we will honour our responsibility to bring this to an end.

"Primary and secondary #schools in #Ontario, #Canada, failed to investigate 49% of #antisemitic incidents reported to school officials, and more than 40% of #Jew-hatred instances involved #Holocaust denial or glorifying #Nazis, according to a government-commissioned survey on #Jewhatred in K-12 schools in the province.

The report, dated July 14, lists 781 instances of #antisemitism. “Several times a day on multiple days in September 2024, a 13-year-old #Jewish girl in #Waterloo was surrounded by five boys repeatedly shouting ‘#SiegHeil!’ and raising their hands in the #Nazi salute. On each occasion, she begged them to stop, but they persisted,” it states. “In October 2024, a 6-year-old in #Ottawa was informed by her teacher that she is only half human because one of her parents is Jewish.”
