Another shameful article by the CBC, full of “Israel says” to downplay and cast doubt on “Israel does”. Just report Israel’s crimes without the hasbara. And nothing on CBC homepage for the ‘front page protest’ by >250 media outlets to highlight Israel’s killing of close to 300 journalists.

I have no idea if this is true, but that would be some poetic justice right there. Gaza has the most child amputees in modern history thanks to US complicity in Israel’s genocide. Many of those kids suffer amputations without anaesthesia thanks to Israel’s cruel blockage, which Trump aids.

Classifying famine means that the most extreme category is triggered when three critical thresholds – extreme food deprivation, acute malnutrition and starvation-related deaths – have been breached. The latest analysis now affirms on the basis of reasonable evidence that these criteria have been met

Don’t be on the side of Israelis who mock mothers whose children they starved to death; who destroy food destined for Gaza and block aid trucks; who bomb food warehouses and crops in Gaza; who shoot people trying to fish, carry water or access aid sites; who deny a live-streamed famine and genocide.

The pay gap increases dramatically even if cost of living increases are given to everyone. A 3.6% increase on $19 million is a $684,000 pay raise, and on $50k it’s $1,800. They can buy a new house, while you can barely make rent. Apply that over decades and CEOs are now making 300x a worker’s pay.

A first of its kind study has quantified the impact of colonization on indigenous food systems, and it is as horrifying as expected. In Gaza, with the equivalent in explosives of 6 Hiroshima Bombs dropped, and the evidence of mass starvation, it’s likely as bad or worse than 90% destruction.
