If you listen carefully it’s a misplaced anger at his own parents for not making him feel worthy that turned into raging jealousy of other children who had parents that lifted them up and poured into them. He’s projected all of that onto white people. He needs to mend his heart before thinking about running for any office. White ppl haven’t hurt him. He knows exactly who did. Notice how he doesn’t get the satisfaction he was craving when the interviewer simply anchors himself & doesn’t validate that experience. We should all do more of this. Don’t validate anyone’s experience for the sake of temporary bonding.
It says Martyrs and its October 7. Some people are impossible.

Whatever your stance on Israel, it is not a genocide and stating truth can be something people are proud of.
Someone should call every ndp candidate and ask if they agree with Avi's vision of collective guilt on Canadian Jews.
Tonight Yom Kippur begins, the most sombre moment of the Jewish calendar. It’s a time of atonement - a time to grieve those who have been lost, a time to acknowledge and take responsibility for harms we have caused, individually and collectively. For Jewish people, the personal has always been political and the political always personal. This year I'm reflecting on the fact that we failed to do our part to stop an ongoing genocide committed in our name. There are many other fronts where I have to do the work of repair. But nothing on this scale.
This hit hard
I envy the director who called his own country's army something worse than any enemy ever called it, and then drove home.
I envy that he signed his name to it.
I envy that his face is on the poster.
I envy that the state's revenge was a press release.
I envy that the ministers who despise him can only threaten his funding.
I envy that his worst punishment is being hated loudly by people with keyboards.
I envy that Iranian propaganda spends millions and never reaches the accusation he made himself, unpaid, on camera.
I envy that he will be invited to debate his critics on television.
I envy that his critics want to argue with him at all.
I envy that his mother watched the ceremony from her living room.
I envy that his mother has a living room.
I envy him because forty minutes past the last checkpoint, outside his country and outside his law, the review arrives at night, on motorcycles.
I envy him because out there, men take you out in your underwear so the street remembers it.
I envy him because an hour from his editing room, but under a different flag, a film like that ends on a rooftop, with the director going over the edge.
I envy him because in that place, the director own people will drag the body through the market, so the next director understands the notes.
I envy him because 50 kilometers from the theater that screened his film, and past the border of everything he is accused of, they shoot the knees first, so the neighborhood hears the whole verdict.
I envy him because there, the sentence includes your brothers.
I envy him because there, the sentence includes the house your father built.
I envy him because there, a rumor that you spoke to a foreign journalist is the entire trial.
I envy him because there, nobody cuts your budget, they cut you.
I envy that the distance between his applause and that rooftop is shorter than his commute, and that no one confuses the two jurisdictions.
I envy that he says all of it from inside the country he is accusing.

The insufferable Hasan Piker, who has campaigned with NYC mayor Mamdani, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El‑Sayed, and several other Democratic candidates, claims that Jewish Americans who feel any affinity for Israel or support the Jewish state somehow invite violence onto themselves. He presents this as normal and even sensible. Many immediately condemned the remark as incitement and as an ignorant portrayal of Jews as responsible for the violence directed at them at a time when hate crimes are at historic highs. Others rushed to defend him, insisting he was not antisemitic and was merely criticizing “the Zionists,” even though the framing clearly targeted Jewish Americans as an entire group.
What stands out is the double standard applied only to Jews. Do Palestinian Americans or Muslim Americans who support Hamas, a Jihadist and fascist organization, invite violence upon themselves? Do Muslims who advocate for Sharia Law, including interpretations used to justify beheadings, mass rape, and other crimes against humanity, invite violence upon themselves? Do Chinese Americans who do not speak out against Beijing’s treatment of Uyghurs or Tibetans invite violence upon themselves? Do leftists or Iranians who support the Islamic Republic, the Cuban regime, or Maduro’s Venezuela invite violence upon themselves? Do Lebanese Americans in Dearborn, Michigan, who support Hezbollah invite violence upon themselves? Do Yemeni Americans who support the Houthis and their brutal, regressive ideology invite violence upon themselves?
The list can continue, yet one truth is unmistakable. There is a fixation on treating diaspora and American Jews as uniquely deserving of violence or hate crimes because of their perceived or actual views on a foreign policy issue. No other community is subjected to this logic. Never allow anyone to convince you that this has anything to do with the Palestinian people, their cause, or genuine pro‑Palestine advocacy.

After I raised concerns about anti-Palestinian racism at the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care at Sinai Health in Toronto in early 2024, Sinai brought a highest level professionalism complaint against me. I did not even know I was being investigated until there were findings against me.
Read @ShreeParadkar's in-depth investigation in @TorontoStar on alleged discrimination at @SinaiHealth over Palestine.
This was undoubtedly a massive piece of work – noting many documents were reviewed and former and current employees interviewed.
The Star investigation notes a physician who publicly advocated for Israel, called me a racist, and called politicians who showed Palestine solidarity "Nazis" seemingly received different treatment.
Two junior colleagues who had publicly advocated for Palestinian human rights had their contracts not renewed.
The Star investigation notes:
"Labour and Employment lawyer Jackie Esmonde, who represented Algu, declined to comment on the Sinai situation, but said that, in general, it was 'extremely unusual and procedurally unfair for a workplace investigation to make negative findings against an employee without giving the opportunity to both know about the allegations and respond.'
The documents the Star reviewed contained no examples in support of the findings. Sinai Health did not offer any details when asked about the specific concerns related to Algu.
A staff member who worked with Algu at that time, who did not support Israel’s actions, and did not want to be named for fear of losing their job called Sinai’s disciplinary threats 'dystopian,' and said that it 'created a chilling effect.'"
My story is not unique, but is one of many. Anti-Palestinian racism is pervasive in our workplaces and institutions across the country. It must be addressed.
Keep in mind that many of these same institutions maintain material links that support the genocide, occupation, and apartheid in Palestine. This takes many forms: research/academic partnerships, dual-use technology development, investments in Israel bonds, investments in weapons companies, commercial partnerships with business involved in illegal activity, etc.
And most importantly, the genocide in Palestine is ongoing - across the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank. It must be stopped. We all have something we can contribute.
Free Palestine - From the River, to the Sea.

@bvanhooker I like your article about superhero fatigue being fake but I think you put too much stock into critic scores and not enough into audience scores. Fantastic four was pretty bad despite good critic score it had a bad imdb score. Superman did very well domestic and bad
She says she doesn't understand then blocks replies
This coward blocked his comments but I support Israel.
Cowards love to encourage terrorists to attack children's schools but disable replies on their tweets.
This guy is the biggest pussy imaginable. Targets children schools and then cries when someone tricks him into exposing his IP address and then restricts comments. What a bitch.
A Canadaland employee allegedly assisted in surreptitiously getting critics’ IP addresses. We don’t know which one, so it could be any of them. I feel like they’re all OK with it, otherwise they’d say something.
A publication needs many people to function. They’re all helping.
