"Sai Englert answers the question: What do you respond to the argument that the university cannot cut its ties with Israeli universities because that would mean severing their relationships with the critical voices in Israel?"
From the Rotterdam Encampment & Palestine Solidarity Rotterdam
The Israeli army bombed Gazans in their tents in the "safe zone" where it told them to go. Eyewitnesses told Mondoweiss most of the dead were burned alive or decapitated and dismembered, many of them children.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel Using bombs to kill terrorists is excesive use of force, knowing that they're surrounded by civilians. Crimes of war keep piling up. #boycottisrael
I just got kicked out of Tillicum Centre(Mall) in #Saanich. For slapping 4 #BoycottIsraelApartheid stickers on #Starbucks doors & windows. I'll just plaster other locations ✌️🍉🇵🇸🍉☮️
An #Ontario#university is the first major educational institution in #Canada to reach an #agreement with on-campus protestors and vows not to invest in companies benefitting from the war in #Gaza.
A poster was shared on social media to promote the protest. A description of the event said protesters were "delivering a message to #McGill administration that we refuse to stand by quietly while they remain complicit in #genocide."
We're currently looking for a new refrigerator because we're renovating our kitchen. The existing built in fridge has been there for the 16 years that we've lived here, and who knows how long before. It's awful: The internal temperature fluctuates between freezing and 8 C and it guzzles electricity - measurement suggests ~500 kWh per year.
For some reason all new built in fridges still have high energy usage, so we're only looking at free-standing models.
Most fridge/freezer combi models are absurdly large. It's a stretch to reach the top shelf inside.
All the A-rated refrigerators are huge and have apps. Linking appliances to the internet is IMO stupid and in any case white goods ought to last longer than mobile phones.
Some of the B rated models are only just behind the 'A's in energy usage but they usually have apps as well.
Then there's the problem of avoiding boycotted brands (#siemens linked to Israel and Russia, #liebherr and #samsung to Russia, #Beko to Turkey).
#Macklemore has his new #HindsHall#ProtestSong up on his YouTube now. It's age restricted but you can download from a stream ripper & upload it anywhere/everywhere.
Just a reminder to #BoycottEurovision, lovers. Don’t watch it or engage with it other than to condemn it for allowing genocidal Israel to be taking part.
Please don’t insult my intelligence by claiming Israel is anything other than a far right fascist, racist apartheid State.
It’s also one of the single biggest mistakes humanity ever made, kowtowing to the fanatically religiously delusional gifting them another people’s land.
