"israel-bombs-tent-camp-in-Rafah-killing-45-Palestinians
a)The Zionist carnage continues UNABATED --despite international condemnation
QUOTE: "International rights groups and leaders who for months have demanded a
cease-fire in Gaza expressed renewed horror as images emerged from Israel’s
Sunday bombing of a tent camp that had been set up by forcibly displaced
Palestinians in Rafah, with women and children making up the majority of the 45
people who were reportedly killed in the attack.
"Emergency workers told NBC News that the death toll was likely to rise, as
many people had been trapped in the encampment as it was engulfed in flames.
"NBC reported that the strike took place less than a mile away from a Médecins
Sans Frontières (MSF) medical facility, where at least 180 injured people
arrived on Sunday."

(...)
"Last night, Israeli warplanes, funded and supplied by the US and Europe,
pounded Rafah where 1.4 million Palestinians are sheltering. Israeli airstrikes
bombarded a supposed “safe area” where forcibly displaced Palestinians slept in
plastic tents, setting the entire area aflame, murdering at least 40 and
injuring hundreds more, mostly women and children. Many were burned alive.
"Former UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness called this latest massacre, 'the
crime of crimes,' stating Israel’s blatant disregard for the Genocide
Convention.
"Yet, the Western dominated international system continues to allow Israel to
inflict horror after horror, massacre after massacre on Palestinians, with zero
accountability. Not just throughout more than 7 months of the world’s first
live streamed genocide, but for 76 years."

Title: TOMORROW, Mon May 27: EMERGENCY VANCOUVER ACTION AGAINST RAFAH MASSACRE
Dear all friends and supporters of Palestine,
Today, the Zionist regime conducted another massacre in Gaza -- this time targeting displaced people in Rafah in tents around an UNRWA centre, an area to which they were specifically directed as a "safe zone." The genocidal military bombed displaced families struggling to survive, burning tents and beheading children.
Join us for an EMERGENCY RALLY tomorrow, on Monday, May 27 at 6 pm at Robson Square (South Side, Vancouver Art Gallery). Please share widely. Bring your friends and family. We must raise our voices and be heard.
Read the statement of the Masar Badil on the attack: https://masarbadil.org/en/2024/05/4771/
*** CALL TO ACTION - EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO THE RAFAH MASSACRE - ALL OUT FOR PALESTINE ***
Monday May 27
6 pm
Robson Square - Vancouver Art Gallery South Side
The horrifying images of the most recent Rafah massacre — of burning tents, martyred children, families displaced again and again hit by multi-ton US-made bombs — are a searing, unacceptable outrage. Join us to express our collective rage, grief, and commitment to action, to bring Canadian complicity in the Zionist massacres to an end and to hold the war criminals responsible for this massacre and all of the massacres they have carried out for the past 75 years. Let us act, organize, and speak NOW to end the genocide and FREE PALESTINE!

Dear friends,
On Friday afternoon, the University of Toronto administration issued an ultimatum to the peaceful student encampment on campus: clear out by Monday at 8:00 AM or be in violation of a trespass notice.
In response, the OFL issued this open letter to University of Toronto President Meric Gertler.
As trade unionists, we understand that the right to protest, along with freedom of _expression_, assembly, and association, are the foundation of strong and vibrant democracies.
We also know that our rights to free and fair collective bargaining, including the right to strike, are at risk whenever anyone else’s rights come under attack.
That’s why the OFL is calling on workers, students, community, and allies to join a solidarity rally to defend the students’ right to protest and demand that U of T rescind its trespass order.

Is it conceivable that a university president would speak out in support of
student protestors against Israel's killing machine? Well there is one at
the European University Institute. Read on. It's inspiring. Thanks to Roz
