I Stand With The World

October 7, 2023. It’s a date everyone will remember. A story no one will forget. And with a year of harrowing genocide in the aftermath, we are left feeling angry, traumatized and filled with grief. While the Western narratives of a single sided story prevail, we recognize that there are global voices championing peace and justice for Palestine. We will unpack and challenge the lack of equity and lack of truth when we value one person’s perspective over another. We will outline the world’s response to the genocide unfolding including the South African case to the International Court of Justice. We’ll also bring the narrative within the borders of Canada, revealing what Canada has and has not done to be on the right side of history. When we feel small or when we feel our demands for justice as insignificant, we must remember that the world stands with us - for Palestine and for peace.  Episode SourcesOne Year After October 7 - Human Rights Lawyer and Activist Qasim Rashid2023: The Deadliest Year for Palestinian Children - Defence Children InternationalStripped, Beaten and Blindfolded: New Research Reveals Ongoing Violence and Abuse of Palestinian Children Detained by Israeli Military - Save the ChildrenThousands of Palestinians are Held Without Charge Under Israeli Detention Policy - National Public Radio (NPR)Israel Approved Plans to Build Over 12,000 Settlement Units in the First Half of 2023 - The New ArabTakeaways From AP’s Report on the Destruction in Gaza a Year Into the War - Associated PressEscaping Gaza’s War, Palestinians Find Little Solace in Egypt - The New HumanitarianIsrael - Gaza War in Maps and Charts: Live Tracker - Al Jazeera NewsLet us know what you think of this episode!
