"There was a feast once, and it became the Last Supper of my people.
And the world, indifferent, learned, self-satisfied, did not attend.
But it must remember. Because if it does not, then we, the living, will have died for nothing, and the dead will have died twice."

This is the kind of poetry that should never have had to be written. Tweet from Gaza doctor Dr. Ezzideen (@ezzinggaza).
Two years ago, on a Friday that now stands outside of time, my father prepared a feast. It was meant to honor life, my graduation, my return, the promise of a future. The table was full, not only with food, but with faith: the quiet, unspoken faith that tomorrow would exist. How easily we believe in continuity, in the mercy of another morning. We gathered as one family, laughing, speaking over one another, breaking bread with careless joy, pouring juice into glasses as though it were the wine of peace itself. Each gesture was a prayer, though none of us knew it. My father’s hands moved as Christ’s once did, blessing the bread, dividing it among those he loved. And somewhere, though no one could name it, there hung in the air that same fragile foreboding that filled the upper room in Jerusalem, when love spoke its last words before betrayal. The air trembled with that kind of happiness which only later reveals itself as farewell. And then, silence. The silence that only the dead can teach. When I look now at the photographs, I see the faces of the condemned, though they did not know it. More than half of them are gone, devoured by what men call war and what truth calls murder. The homes that once contained our breathing, our prayers, our smallest tenderness, crushed. The gardens that smelled of oranges and evening, erased. I walk in memory as one walks through ruins, touching the stones of vanished laughter. October 7 was not the birth of a war; it was the death of illusion. On that day, history tore itself open, and the wound has not closed. It bleeds through every surviving soul. And in that blood I see not only the crime of one nation against another, but the crime of humanity against itself, the old, endless betrayal that men repeat while invoking God. If justice still exists, it must weep. If God still looks upon this earth, He must avert His eyes. This day should be marked forever, not as an event of politics, but as a revelation of the human abyss. Let every flag descend into silence. Let every tongue fall still. Because what was taken from us was not only life, but the very rhythm of being alive, the rustle of bread torn by a father’s hand, the sound of a child laughing before she learns what grief is. They took from us the ordinary, and left us with eternity. And yet, I remain. I, who ate with them, who still taste that bread in my mouth as though it were guilt itself. I live, and I do not know why. Perhaps only to remember. Perhaps only to tell the world that history is not written in treaties or speeches, but in the trembling of hands that once passed a dish across a table, in the laughter that did not know it was bidding farewell to the world. There was a feast once, and it became the Last Supper of my people. And the world, indifferent, learned, self-satisfied, did not attend. But it must remember. Because if it does not, then we, the living, will have died for nothing, and the dead will have died twice. #GazaGenocide

Still nowhere near enough anesthetics are available in Gaza because Israel is deliberately choking off medical supplies in open violation of the ceasefire — forcing patients to undergo surgery without anesthesia. Author’s father says he entered the operating room with his brother, and “couldn't stay by his side for even a few minutes, after his screams reached beyond the hospital walls from the intensity of the pain of the amputation without local anesthesia.” 👇 Ali Abo Rezeg @ARezeg Translated from Arabic My uncle is diabetic, and the doctors at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis decided to amputate two of his fingers, My father went to his brother's side to comfort him, steady him, and support him through this operation, which circumstances dictated would be the epitome of cruelty and complexity, Not only because it involved amputating half of his hand, but because there is no anesthesia in Gaza's hospitals—yes, as you have read and heard, the most basic right of any patient in the world, My father says: I entered the operating room with my brother, and I couldn't stay by his head for even a few minutes, after his screams reached beyond the hospital walls from the intensity of the pain of the amputation without local anesthesia, And this is just a very, very small detail from Gaza's daily details, details of health and education and rain and shelter and food and drink and sleep and waking and work or unemployment, and a thousand other details…! t See new posts Conversation Ali Abo Rezeg @ARezeg عمي مريض بالسكر وقرر الأطباء في مستشفى ناصر في خانيونس قطع أصبعين اثنين من أصابع يده، ذهب والدي عند رأس أخيه حتى يصبره ويثبته ويعينه على هذه العملية، والتي شاءت الظروف أن تكون منتهى القسوة والتعقيد، ليس لأن هناك عملية بتر لنصف يده فحسب، ولكن لأنه لا يوجد مخدر في مستشفيات غزة، نعم، كما قرأت وسمعت، أدنى وأبسط حقوق أي مريض في العالم، يقول والدي: دخلت مع أخي لغرفة العمليات، ولم أستطع المكوث عند رأسه دقائق معدودة، بعد أن وصل صراخه خارج أسوار المستشفى من شدة ألم البتر دون تخدير موضعي، وهذه تفصيلة صغيرة جدا جدا من تفاصيل غزة اليومية، تفاصيل الصحة والتعليم والمطر والإيواء والطعام والشراب والنوم والاستيقاظ والعمل أو البطالة، وألف تفصيل آخر…!

Ta-Nehisi Coates asks Palestinian scholar and writer Tareq Baconi “what is it about this genocide particularly” that has changed us? Baconi, who has written extensively on Hamas and the history of Palestinian resistance, points to three factors. It’s happening in full view of the world, yet still allowed to continue. The gaslighting by governments and major media creates a “dual reality” that denies what people can see for themselves. And at its core, he says, the genocide exposes the colonial foundations of Western power. Baconi stresses that the path between a fascist or decolonial future runs directly through Palestine. via @PalFest

Israel killed 13 Syrians this morning during a ground incursion into Beit Jin, about 30 miles southwest of Damascus — among them three women and three children. The village’s mayor, Abdel Rahman al-Hamrawi, told AFP the Israeli army entered Beit Jinn to “arrest three sons” of the community. He said “clashes took place between residents who tried to oppose the incursion,” after which Israeli forces “shelled the community with artillery and drones,” causing the fatalities. Syrian television showed families fleeing the area, L’Orient Today reported. Israeli media, including Times of Israel, reported that six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the fighting, three seriously, during Israel’s illegal invasion as residents resisted the raid. Quote Murtaza Hussain @MazMHussain · Murtaza Hussain @MazMHussain Although it has been the smallest of their 6-7 wars so far Israeli actions in Syria have been most revealing because no one in Syria had any interest in fighting them and they still aggressively attacked and started annexing their land at first opportunity. The plan seems to be to turn southern Syria into another living hell like the West Bank and then in a few decades suggest maybe it’d be better if everyone just leaves. "Israel kills 13 Syrian citizens during a bombing and ground incursion into Syrian territory." Israeli occupation forces carried out a two-pronged assault on the town of Beit Jann, combining a ground incursion into Syrian territory with subsequent airstrikes, resulting in the killing of 13 Syrian citizens, most of them civilians. Among the victims was the young man Hassan al-Saadi, who lost his life merely hours after his wedding. This operation constitutes a grave breach of international law, particularly international humanitarian law and the fundamental principle of respect for state sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is entirely legitimate to ask: Had any other state committed these acts against Israel, what would the Israeli authorities’ response have been? Persistent double standards in addressing Israel’s conduct remain among the most serious factors weakening the credibility and coherence of the international legal order. It is profoundly regrettable that Israeli attacks on Syrian territory are met with indifference or minimization, while attention is diverted toward overstating the significance of the peace agreement. The ongoing killings and bombardments, seemingly aimed at imposing a coerced form of peace on Syria, demand broad Arab and international solidarity with Syria.

Canada has never met any of its carbon reduction goals set since 1990.

In fact, Canada's greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 were still higher than they were in 1990.

Canada is the only G7 country whose emissions are higher now than in 1990.
