Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the end of a situation assessment with the heads of the security establishment

"Israeli citizens,
Like you, I was shocked. I was shocked to see the terrible pictures following the murderous attack by Hezbollah on Majdal Shams.

Among the murdered, small children who were playing football, and also other murdered. Our hearts are all broken by these sights.

We embrace the families, embrace the entire Druze community in its difficult moment, which is also our difficult moment.

Since I was informed of the disaster, I have been holding continuous security consultations, and I have decided to bring forward our return to Israel. I will immediately enter the security cabinet upon my arrival.

I can say that the State of Israel will not go over this in silence. We will not put it on the agenda.”

🇨🇦 BDS VICTORY 🏆: Ontario Union Stands for Palestinian Rights, Supports Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions Against “Israel”

📢 Ontario Public Sector Labour Union Takes a Stand for Palestinian Rights:
OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union) showed solidarity with the Palestinian struggle by ratifying a resolution in support of the BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) campaign against Israel.

Key Points from the Resolution:

1) End to Israel’s Aggression: Calls for an immediate halt to Israel’s blockade, bombings, and invasions of Gaza, and the mass detentions and killings of Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.

2) International Arms Ban: Advocates for a global ban on arms deals with Israel.

3) Mobilization for Palestine: Encourages OPSEU locals and other unions to build public campaigns supporting Palestinians and opposing Israeli actions.

Despite these progressive steps, some Zionist members within the union have expressed feelings of betrayal and concern. They claim the union’s actions do not represent the entire membership.

Zionist Members Complain:

• Daz Salama: "I feel betrayed... to have them turn on me like this."

• Lindsay Gilbert: "It’s like getting kicked when you’re already down."

Union's Response: OPSEU maintains its stance, emphasizing its commitment to social justice both at home and globally.

They condemned the ongoing violence in the region and affirmed their support for human rights everywhere.

Broader Impact:

• Zionist members of OPSEU and other unions have filed complaints, accusing leadership of fostering a culture of discrimination and harassment.

• Critics argue that unions should focus on improving working conditions rather than advancing political agendas.

In Solidarity with Palestine: OPSEU’s decision to support the BDS movement is a significant step in the fight for Palestinian rights. It echoes their historic opposition to South African apartheid, reaffirming their dedication to global justice.
