I Spoke to Families in Gaza's Largest Tent Camp. Here's What They Told Me. Opposite experiences in two different tent camps in Gaza show how the world could be caring better for displaced people.

"The tents are overcrowded, each family clings to the next, there is no space to set up a new tent, not even for water containers or a toilet."

"These are just a few stories out of thousands who continue to suffer in Gaza's tent camps."

With West Bank under Israeli closure, settlers seize the moment Israeli settlers have killed two Palestinians and raided dozens of villages amid the war with Iran, as the army restricts movement and backs up the attackers.

"Israeli settlers, backed by the army, are seizing the opportunity to try to expel more rural" Palestinians.

"[O]ne of the soldiers threatened his mother, saying: 'If your son does not come, I will burn your house and send you to Gaza.'"

Tasneem's three children.

Tasneem's three children.

Another message from my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza:

β€œMy children woke up terrified in the middle of the night to the sound of shells fired by the occupation at our area without any reason or warning.”

Please give to Tasneem. No amount is too small. And to others. πŸ’•

β€œCanadians deserve to have a clear statement from the prime minister in this House, to be accountable not only to parliamentarians but to the Canadian public, and to clarify what the position of Canada and his Liberal government really is,” Davies told reporters Monday.

He added the NDP believes there have been β€œnumerous, repeated and continuing war crimes” in the conflict to date, citing the bombing of hospitals, desalination plants and schools in Iran.

The NDP is calling on the government to clearly state that Canadian troops and resources will not be used β€œin the prosecution of this illegal war,” Davies said.

It's not just a pattern of avoiding parliamentary work, it's a pattern of avoiding Canadians, too. The world is in a bad moment but unless you are a member of the political or corporate elite, apparently you're not worth the PM's time.

This is not how a leader behaves in a crisis.

Nearly 700,000 people – including about 200,000 children – have been displaced in Lebanon in just 10 days of war in the Middle East, according to UNICEF

I think people believe the point of progressive politics is to try to convince malicious, bad-faith bigots to not be violent, instead of defanging their movements and making them politically irrelevant.

It's not about "saving the souls of the lost". It's about making sure their harm is mitigated.

i’m not a historian but you know, i was married to one for over 20 years, and if there is one thing I have learned from spending time among historians (and reading the books they’ve recommended to me) it’s that historians know how to contextualize basically everything

It's early days, but Mark Carney's decision to wholeheartedly support the US and Israel's illegal war on Iran could go down as the worst foreign-policy decision in Canadian history.

I can't think of another decision in my lifetime that goes so hard against Canadian interests.

Why international law is still the world’s best defence Should we permit the foundations of international law to erode, the world would slip once more into anarchy and chaos.

"Perhaps the greatest threat to international justice is not just outright opposition from ill-wishers but indifference and arbitrary application... We must never allow the law to fall silent, for it stands as humanity’s foremost defender."

Poilievre accuses PM Carney of β€˜trying to pander in all directions’ with Iran conflict response Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says PM Mark Carney took β€˜four different positions’ when responding to the war in the Middle East.

While PM Carney's lack of clarity on the illegality of Israel and America's war of aggression deserves criticism, the position of Poilievre - the law and order guy - is reckless: to outright support violations of international law & dismiss the UN Charter.

Every atrocity, every abomination, every war crimes, every breach of international law practiced in Gaza and tolerated, or worse still, aided by the rest of the world is now being perpetrated in Iran and elsewhere.

Did you think it would stay in Gaza?
