The story is basically this 1⃣Israel asked Canada to end #UNRWA funding. It did. 2⃣The United States asked Canada to resume UNRWA funding. It did. So, who makes Canadian foreign policy? This debacle seems to make clear that it isn't actually Canada. #cdnpoli #cdnfp
There is no world in which the forced famine of 1.1 million people cannot be considered genocide. And that is exactly what we are watching unfold in Gaza now. We must enforce U.S. laws and halt weapons transfers to the Israeli government to stop an atrocity in the making.
Let's say the fighting stopped tomorrow. How many more deaths are we looking at from lack of routine medical care in the near future? (Source: WHO, emro.who.int/images/stories…)
I know this isn't the first time people have bragged about complicity in international crimes on social media, but like...the amount of "saying the quiet part loud" that's going on is mindblowing.

This is only one data point though - what were the numbers like earlier, before the policy?
Is Warren Kinsella okay? Like, has anyone checked on him? Because yesterday he tried blame an MP...who *fled* his country as a *child* and a *refugee*...because that country did something antisemitic a decade before the MP was born. Is...is it satire? What is happening?
Is it giving in to the mob to correct an injustice and restoring aid to millions of people, which never should have been cut even if 12 UNRWA employees committed crimes?🤔 (0.04% of the organization)

This genocide is changing history. Longstanding narratives are being laid to rest, buried in the rubble of Gaza. ⛔️Israel guarantees Jewish safety 🙅🏻♂️The IDF is "the most moral army in the world" 🚫Canada is an honest broker My thoughts from a recent @FacultyJewish event:
For five minutes yesterday I thought Canada was going to be an adult about this...

South Africa has returned to the @CIJ_ICJ seeking further or modified provisional measures due to "situation of widespread starvation" in Gaza. Meanwhile in Canada, press conference meant to announce resumed @UNRWA funding cancelled at last minute and no explanation yet offered.
Prospective attendees would like to know whether any member of "Lawyers for Secure Immigration" will be invited / are participating. Many see this group as a covert collaborative of senior members of the bar intent on advancing racist policies.

In 1933, Jewish and Italian-Canadian youth actively fought against fascists in what we now call The Christie Pits Riot. In 1938 Mussolini enacted the Racial Laws, targeting primarily Italian Jews and African inhabitants of his empire. Do you think Meloni reflects Canadian values?

It is well documented—take a listen⬇️
CIJA standing up against aid to civilians. Civilians being starved and murdered by a country on trial for genocide. CIJA fuels antisemitism. CIJA makes Jews unsafe.
As @CIJAinfo's general counsel, let me make something clear: We are planning to challenge this decision in court.
Reinstating #UNRWA aid is line w calls from every major humanitarian aid org in the world. Women & children are starving to death in Gaza. Yet a Conservative MP uses International Women's Day to call 🇨🇦 restoring #UNRWA aid "vile". There's a word for doing that. Oh, yeah: vile.
On International Women’s Day, while our closest allies are calling for the UN Security Council to convene about the brutal rape and torture of women by Hamas terrorists — Justin Trudeau and his Liberals announce a reinstatement of funding to UNWRA. They never cut it off. They…
@bnaibrithcanada Where is this "substantial evidence" that you speak of?!
I get this question regularly, and I acknowledge that Israel faced a difficult challenge: It was hard to target Hamas without risking civilians. But my answer is: what I would not do is kill 31,000 people in Vancouver, including 12,500 children, and starve the entire population.
@BenjAlvarez1 @NickKristof Imagine Nick, if you will, terrorist rockets were fired from Vancouver, WA into Portland, OR. What would you do?
Sec 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act: “No assistance shall be furnished … to any country when it is made known to the President that the govt of such country prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of US humanitarian assistance.”
Miller admits what is preventing aid getting in to Gaza:"You have...ministers in the Israeli government block the release of flour...You have seen ministers of the Israeli government supporting protests that blocked aid from going in" despite this Biden hasn't used any leverage
In case it's not obvious, 🇨🇦 recognizes that settlements in the West Bank are illegal under int'l law & a breach of the Geneva Conventions. Those seeking to profit by selling "real estate" on illegal settlements are therefore engaged in illegal activity and should be prosecuted.
Joe, the event at BAYT is advertising real estate sales in Ma’ale Adumim, an Israeli West Bank settlement which is unequivocally illegal under international law. Do you support this event?
Which one of these cities is in the West Bank? Tel Aviv? Eilat? Bat Yam? The answer to all is no. Is there any limit to the lies deployed to justify harassing Jews?
Blaming Hamas for every Israeli atrocity is the argument of an abusive partner: “Look what you made me do!” Hamas bears responsibility for Oct 7. Israel bears responsibility for its indiscriminate assault on Gaza. Neither justifies the other.
Senior members of 36 global news outlets, including Haaretz, issued an open letter on Friday affirming their support for Palestinian journalists in Gaza, 89 of whom have been killed in the war since October 7 haaretz.com/world-news/202…
💡Understanding the complexities of #gender issues in #asylum claims is crucial for reaching fair and just decisions. Our Special Issue explores this topic, providing invaluable insights for legal professionals and those interested in #refugeerights.
A reminder: encouraging civilians to evacuate matters, BUT it does NOT absolve 🇮🇱 of its obligations under IHL. Civilians who do not leave or who cannot leave, can never be targeted. Yet they are. Constantly. Don't let propaganda get in the way of the basic rules of int'a law.
Northern Gaza is still a war zone. It’s an area we urged civilians to evacuate from four months ago after 10/7 because Hamas is so deeply and deliberately embedded in the urban battlefield. There’s still intense fighting, and there is greater access to aid in the south.
Just a guess, but right now they’re probably too busy trying to save lives and save children from starving to care what someone with your horrific record on Gaza wants them to do.
If #UNRWA wants 🇨🇦 to reinstate funding, come to Ottawa and answer questions on the alarming allegations on how 🇨🇦 taxpayer dollars may have funded terrorism. The @NDP should be the loudest voices calling for this. What does @UNRWA and @UNLazzarini have to hide? #cdnpoli
When is the federal govt introducing legislation for a foreign agents registry? This propaganda is next level.
The details of what transpired have been out for hours. That a political party leader would tweet this now is entirely irresponsible at best, or purposely misleading at worst. As reported, aid trucks were swarmed by crowds which led to attempts to disperse them with warning…
@CitImmCanada Why do you never prepare in advance for the inevitable? You know how many people will be affected, you can project the crushing demand coming with this announcement. I get the need to make changes, but seriously?…you’ve had since Dec 1, 2016 to make these changes.

A swear jar for lawyers, but instead of for swearing, it's for the excessive use of the phrase "in my respectful submission".
The racism in the immigration bar is not something @CBA_Immigration @CBA_News and @OBAlawyers can ignore forever. A policy needs to be put in place for speakers/panelists who hide their racism behind a cloak of secrecy or the reputation of these organizations will be harmed.
