On the same day as the attack against Hezbollah, the Israeli cabinet had voted to expand its war aims to include the safe return of Israeli citizens who have been evacuated from the north of the country and to keep them safe from exchange of fire over the Israel-Lebanon border.

On Saturday, at a peaceful rally for Palestine held in Tomkins Park, Calgary police officers arrested three people, including lead organizer Wesam Khaled, charged with obstruction and “assaulting” a police officer. We demand that these ridiculous fines be annulled and the charges dropped against Wesam and his comrades!

We need to learn the lessons of 2012 if we want to build a student strike for Palestine today.

The NDP have no clear rationale for breaking with the Liberals, and no plan to differentiate themselves. What is clear is that the era of stability in Canadian politics is over.
