A 70-year-old woman and her son were hunted down and killed by an Israeli quadcopter drone for crossing the unmarked “yellow line” in Gaza City.
They were “left to bleed to death” as the drone hovered overhead, preventing anyone from reaching them.

Despite fierce political opposition, cultural boycotts of Israel and institutions complicit in the occupation of Palestine have gone mainstream.

Scotiabank is certainly a valid target for the anti-war movement.
But @aliyapabani.bsky.social suggests that there are other economic targets that could yield more immediate, tangible results.

I sent the Gastro Guru an email asking him to correct his false assertions that I was fired from the CBC and repeatedly sued for defamation.
He said he would “consider holding back” if I stopped calling him a Nazi, “bad-mouthing” him on Reddit and “vandalizing” his Wikipedia page.
