Netanyahu is set to announce plans to militarily invade and occupy the entirety of the Gaza Strip. What will it take for @MarkJCarney to impose sanctions to stop this genocide?
@PeruginiNic:
“Full occupation” is misleading. Gaza has been fully occupied for decades. What he has decided on is full annihilation, mass expulsion and colonisation. The world is supporting and watching. No embargoes. No sanctions. Only cosmetic food airdrops.
@4cdesai:
Netanyahu states “Israel will fully occupy #Gaza” & escalate. Their plan is clear:
1.Complete the #genocide and ethnic cleansing
2.Forcefully transfer the remaining survivors
Palestinian State recognition will not stop a genocidal state; sanctions, arms embargo’s & political action can

Instead of imposing sanctions to force Israel to lift the siege, Canada is participating in IDF-coordinated publicity stunts that are killing Palestinians.

Seing people say stuff like “oh was Israel supposed to just do nothing after 10/7???” with the implication being that Palestine was supposed to do nothing after decades of colonial violence. This is what we call racism

@EmmaVigeland:
The amount of handholding that liberal Zionists require to be led to a place of basic humanity towards Palestinians, beyond the “it’s awful” handwave, only to retreat to a belief in an ethnostate maintained by force, is a Sisyphean exercise enabled by privilege and whiteness.

I am Canadian, reluctantly so with traitor fraud extreme right wing Mark Carney, both Zionists and anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, voted PM, and so many worshipping him and seeing him saintly, unable to do wrong. I’ve never seen Hamas as terrorists, notably after AER filed in their 2013 court filing that I have no charter rights because, without any evidence, saying I am a terrorist too. Zionists are the terrorists, mass murdering thieving kid-raping terrorists. Hamas is the resistance. Watch Firefly.

As Edward Said said decades ago Palestinians don’t have permission to narrate their own destruction. It can only be told by someone with supposed “authority” and through a Western gaze. Now dead Palestinians clamoring “yes it’s genocide” 20 months ago weren’t “huge” enough

@James_JosephTDL:
Everyone should read @MarkKersten’s article. Mark powerfully underscores one the core misconceptions about genocide — the insidious, gradual nature of it, urging a deeper understanding and proactive intervention to halt the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and beyond. I’ve been questioned by Parliamentarians, lawyers, and ordinary folk when advocating for communities faced with atrocity crimes to be met with comments like “is it a genocide though?” Or “its not large scale enough” yet misunderstanding that these things don’t just happen in one foul swoop.
To understand Genocide in Gaza and elsewhere, we need to talk about it as a process not an event by Mark Kersten, Aug 2, 2025, Justice in Conflict MUST READ
A growing consensus of international and Israeli human rights organizations, editorial boards, Israeli Holocaust historians and former Attorney Generals, as well as figures like Romeo Dallaire, have all come to the same conclusion: What is happening in Gaza is a genocide. But it is clear there remains confusion about what genocide is and how it is perpetrated, which breeds misinformation and polarization. Given the atrocities being perpetrated in Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar and Palestine, it has never been more important to understand the nature of genocide precisely.
If I could impart one piece of knowledge from my decade-plus of researching and teaching about the topic, it would be this: Genocide is a process, not an event. That insight is critical to understand if we hope to prevent genocides and hold their perpetrators to account.
Genocide is not perpetrated instantaneously. It does not ‘just happen’. Rather, those who seek to commit genocide must prepare their population to either support violence or to turn a blind eye to it. They do so through a process of dehumanizing their target group, often through apartheid-type discrimination. They foster a narrative that the well-being of one group cannot bear the continued existence of the other, whose killing is justified by collectively reducing them to “cockroaches”, “savages”, or “terrorists”.
No genocide has ever been committed – whether it be the Holocaust, Rwanda, Srebrenica, or Gaza – without powerful actors investing tremendous political, economic and social resources into dehumanizing the people targeted by genocidal violence.
The 1948 Genocide Convention’s answer to this is to explicitly oblige states to prevent genocide, not merely react to it, a fact too often overlooked.
In part because human beings have an innate aversion to harming others and participating in atrocities, genocide also takes on insidious forms, what some call “slow violence”. While images of mass murder at extermination camps like Auschwitz or pyramids of the skulls of Tutsi victims during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide dominate collective memory, less immediate but no less lethal forms of violence are endemic to genocide. This lack of instant violence – often accompanied by continued births and parts of the population surviving – is often used to deny genocidal violence, despite the fact that the Genocide Convention makes clear that genocide means the intentional destruction of a group, in whole or in part.
Perhaps no method of extermination is more prevalent across genocides than starvation.
Sometimes, as with the intentional famine unleashed on Ukrainians by the Soviets during the 1932-33 Holodomor, starvation is the primary method by which populations are destroyed. In other instances, starvation accompanies direct forms of killing. In the Jewish Ghettos, the Nazis ensured that people would receive calories below what was required to sustain life. In Darfur, Sudanese forces not only bombed and raised villages but engaged in “genocide by attrition”: destroying communities by intentionally preventing civilians from accessing food or aid. That such violence also prevents women from giving birth to healthy children may likewise be genocidal.
While mass murder dominates our attention, the slow violence of genocide was captured in the Genocide Convention, which prohibits “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”.
It is this pernicious violence that also characterizes the genocide committed by Canada against Indigenous peoples – through the forcible displacement of Indigenous communities onto reserves (via threats of starvation), the Indian Residential School System (via its lack of sufficient food and exposure to disease), and the Sixties Scoop (via the transfer of Indigenous children to non-Indigenous families).
The Canadian example also teaches that genocide is not time-bound. It may be committed over several months (Rwanda), years (the Holocaust), or decades (Canada). The law of genocide is rightly silent on the requisite duration of genocide.
Returning to the point that people are generally averse to committing or witnessing mass atrocities, those who engage in genocidal violence try to create distance between the perpetration of genocide and their own citizens in order to create the comforting allusion that genocide is not happening: ‘if I can’t see it, how do we know it’s taking place?’
During the Holocaust, the aversion of Germans to slaughter inspired a move away from killing Jews and others with bullets (which traumatized the killers) to doing so systematically in extermination camps where camp prisoners were themselves used in the operations of Auschwitz, Dachau, and Treblinka.
Notoriously, media like the New York Times barely covered the Holocaust despite its editors being aware of the slaughter. Today, Israel refuses to allow any independent journalists into Gaza. Preventing coverage is an atrocity denial strategy.
A final observation: under international law, there is no hierarchy of international crimes. Neither war crimes nor crimes against humanity are ‘worse’ than genocide. One can believe, as independent investigators (and a Holocaust Survivor) at the International Criminal Court do, that a litany of war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in Gaza. Or one can believe it is also genocide.
But the focus must be on ending the atrocities and holding those responsible to account.
Mass atrocity prevention scholar Adrian Gallagher recently offered the following analogy: “Imagine Gaza was a forest. The world might get angry if you burn all the trees down at once. So, instead you just chip away at it. The first day you might kill ten trees, the second day 90 trees, the next day six trees. Meanwhile, you don’t water the rest of the trees, and you do what you can to drip feed as little water as possible. And if nobody stops you from chipping away… one day, all the trees are gone.”
Genocide or not, what will states do to stop Israel from chipping away at life in Gaza?

At the very least, remove the stupidity, misogyny hatred and rape of kids and women. Yes, it will take many generations to deprogram the masses, but it can be done, if life on earth lasts long enough
@TedRutland:
Nearly 400 weapons shipments moved from Canada to Israel since Oct 2023.

@SMohyeddin:
NEW: Leaked internal parliamentary report shows Canada was in fact exporting arms to Israel. This Includes rockets, bullets & torpedoes. See @CMPAConline statement.
This is damning evidence as @AnitaAnandMP keeps denying Canada’s shipments and arming of Israel.
The leaked internal parliamentary report explicitly details how Canada has been arming Israel during its genocide and importing Israeli weaponry also. This damning evidence flies in the face of Canada’s continued denial that it is arming Israel.
World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada:
As one of the authors of this report, we are deeply disappointed with Minister Anand’s statement today, which continues a pattern of deception. This statement does not deny that Canada continues to ship arms to Israel but instead tries to muddy the waters to mislead the public.
Anand hasn’t denied that Canada is still arming Israel—because she can’t. The evidence is clear: nearly 400 shipments, confirmed by government data and Israeli customs. Instead of confronting this, she cherry-picks, invents false claims we never made, and issues vague denials.
Anand seems more interested in lying to the public than protecting Palestinian children – but we are not fooled, and attempts to bury the story on an August long weekend will fail. We found nearly 400 shipments – Anand is responding to 3 claims, 2 of which we didn’t even say.
Minister Anand keeps talking about a permit ‘pause’ to distract you from the hundreds of shipments of military goods to Israel since Oct. 2023—including on commercial planes under civilian passengers. Minister Anand isn’t denying this—she’s just hoping you won’t notice.
While Palestinian children were being pulled from the rubble, Canadian-made weapons were flying out of Halifax, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto. Canada’s role in Israel’s war crimes isn’t theoretical—it’s logistical.
The Minister’s August long weekend press release proves one thing: this government is more committed to spin than to stopping war crimes. She denies claims we never made, like mortars being shipped to Israel—we didn’t report that.
She claims no explosives were on passenger planes—we never said they were. What we documented—and what she doesn’t deny—is that Canadian weapons parts flew on passenger planes to Israeli weapons companies. The lies must stop. It’s time for an arms embargo.
Minister Anand says the bullets we documented are paintballs. But that’s not what the Israeli government says. The bullets are listed in their customs system as military bullets—over 175,000 shipped in April alone. Stop the spin—impose a full arms embargo now.
If Minister Anand truly doesn’t know how to stop these exports, we’re happy to walk her through it—publicly. But she should stop hiding behind Twitter statements and start facing the truth: Canada is arming a genocide.
Every day, Israel kills with weapons made or shipped from Canada. The blood is on Canada’s hands.

The announcement of Canada’s intention to recognise the State of Palestine is a myriad of contradictions.
These conditions are incompatible with the rights of the Palestinian people and their pursuit for social, economic, and political justice.Of course they are, Carney is a racist, a pro genocide Zionist. His lies and actions indicate to me that he has no intention of recognizing State of Palestine. Carney is a catholic, many in the church are Nazis (e.g. nasty douche fuckers, Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei: “mafia operating within the church”)! I believe Carney is using Palestinians, and Israel’s starving and mass murdering them, as a Satanic game he’s playing with the vulgar kid-raping Orange Nazi King, to make Canadians bow down in silent compliance to him selling us out to the USA, corporations, tech and oil and gas billionaires, and stripping us of our rights and country.
Statement from ICJP – Canada.
Letter to PM Mark Carney by International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) – Canada
Canada’s Recognition of Palestinian Statehood Must be Unconditional
Prime Minister Carney’s announcement that Canada intends to conditionally recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly is a myriad of contradictions.
Conditional recognition is incompatible with the rights of the Palestinian people and their pursuit for social, economic, and political justice.
Canada claims it supports democratic governance in Palestine but insists on limiting who Palestinians can elect as their representatives.
Canada says it desires peace and security but insists on Palestine being a demilitarized state even as it struggles against genocide and annexation.
Canada says that the human dignity of Palestinians must be respected, yet it simultaneously exports arms to, and engages in military cooperation with, Israel.
The totality of these contradictions exemplifies how Canada disempowers Palestinians by sabotaging their struggle for autonomy.
Canada’s paternalistic conditional recognition of a Palestinian state is textbook anti-Palestinian racism.
The right of a people to self-determination is a cornerstone of international law.
Canada’s recognition of Palestinian statehood must be unconditional, and it must take all reasonable measures within its power to prevent Israel from carrying out its genocidal campaign Gaza.

@martinezdefence:
Canada’s recognition of Palestinian statehood is conditional on Palestine being demilitarized.
Requiring the demilitarization of a state actively resisting annexation and genocide is fundamentally at odds with the right to self-defence enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter.

Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in the same way they recognize Indian Act bands. They mean reserves.

Khalissee:
If there’s one thing you read today, please make it this POWERFUL statement from Hamas about how Israel “transformed food into a weapon of slow killing and aid into an instrument of chaos“
GAZA UNDER THE WEAPON OF STARVATION: A COMPLETE WAR CRIME AND SYSTEMATIC GENOCIDE:
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) affirms that the Gaza Strip is facing a catastrophic famine as a result of a comprehensive ongoing blockade, in the most dangerous phases of genocide, for more than five months, including the closure of crossings and the prevention of infant formula, food, and medicine from reaching more than two million people, including 40,000 infants threatened with immediate death, in addition to 60,000 pregnant women. The occupation has transformed food into a weapon of slow killing and aid into an instrument of chaos and looting, under the direct supervision of its army and aircraft.
The majority of relief trucks entering Gaza are subjected to looting and assault, within the framework of a systematic policy pursued by the occupation, based on “engineering chaos and starvation” aimed at depriving civilians of the limited aid and failing its safe and organized distribution.
While the Strip requires more than 600 aid trucks and fuel daily to meet the minimum of its needs, what is actually permitted to enter represents only a minimal percentage.
The catastrophe has reached such a level that mothers in Gaza have been forced to feed their children water instead of milk, and 154 Palestinians have been recorded as martyred due to hunger thus far, including 89 children, with hundreds of daily cases of malnutrition, amid an almost complete collapse of the health system.
Despite escalating international condemnations, the occupation promotes theatrical limited airdrops and ground aid, while most of it falls in dangerous areas that it had previously ordered to be evacuated, rendering it useless and threatening civilian lives.
In repeated criminal behavior, the occupation targets aid security teams and opens corridors for looting gangs under its protection, as part of a systematic plan to perpetuate famine as a weapon of war.
Hamas calls upon international institutions to expose the occupation’s behavior based on “engineering starvation” and to expose it legally and morally, as it constitutes a compound and deliberate war crime, no less dangerous than direct bombing and destruction.
Hamas affirms that breaking the blockade and opening crossings immediately and without conditions is the only solution to end the catastrophe in Gaza, and any delay in this means proceeding toward a phase of genocide, especially against vulnerable groups of children, patients, and elderly.
We call upon free peoples and human rights and humanitarian organisations around the world to escalate their movements and work to impose an independent and safe UN mechanism for the entry and distribution of aid, away from the occupation’s control and its criminal policies.

CANADIAN SENATORS CALL FOR FULL ARMS EMBARGO ON ISRAEL 15:34 Min. by ON THE LINE MEDIA July 30, 2025
Yesterday, a report by four Canadian NGO’s showed Canada has been sending arms and military armaments to Israel, despite telling the public it isn’t. More than 140 shipments. Today, 26 Canadian senators called for a full arms embargo on Israel. I had just wrapped up my interview with Senator Woo when the Canadian government announced its intention to recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th meeting of the UN general assembly in September. That recognition is contingent. Senator Woo has a lot to say about those contingencies.

Canada should Recognize Palestine, Now: My Speech to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs by Mark Kersten, Oct 29, 2024, Justice in Conflict
Dear JiC readers: I had the honour and opportunity to present my views to the Canadian House of Commons’ Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development on 29 October. A video of my testimony – and that of others, including Ambassador Jon Allen and law professor Ardi Imseis is available here. In case of interest, I have also shared the text of my speech below. – Mark
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There is no reason for Canada to wait to recognize Palestine. It is time.
Palestinian statehood is a legal fact. 146 out of 193 United Nations member states currently recognize Palestine. Our allies – Sweden, Ireland, Ukraine, Norway, and Spain – all recognize Palestine.
But not Canada. Why?
Let me take this opportunity to dispel some arguments that have been put forward against immediate recognition.
First, some claim that Canada should not recognize Palestine because doing so would go against our NATO and G7 allies.
But Sweden, Norway and Spain are NATO members. So too are Poland and Czechia. All recognize Palestine. G7 countries like Japan and France have likewise moved closer to recognizing Palestinian statehood. The only G7 state to oppose the May 2024 UN General Assembly vote on Palestinian statehood was the United States.
Second, it is said that recognizing Palestine as a state is a “reward for Hamas”.
This argument is duplicitous and dangerous. It relies on an assumption that Palestinians are all Hamas, a notion that drives the collective punishment of Palestinian civilians and is used to justify mass atrocities.
Recognition is not a reward. Nor is recognition a consolation for the relentless and well-documented war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against the Palestinian people. It is a basic, inalienable human right. It is the right of Palestinians.
The International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights – treaties Canada has signed and ratified – list the right of all peoples to self-determination. Both list it in Article 1.
Third, some say that recognizing Palestine as a state would undermine the prospects of a negotiated, Two-State solution.
There is no evidence for this proposition. What has undermined the Two State solution is the atrocities of Hamas andmostly the atrocities ofIsrael, neither of whom are interested in a Palestinian state existing beside Israel.
The argument that recognition can only be achieved if Israel agrees to it through negotiation is – in both intent and effect – a cover to permit the continued destruction and annexation of Palestinian land.
Recognizing Two States cannot undermine a two-state solution. Rather, it could jumpstart a new, better, more promising political solution to the conflict in the Middle East. Spain has said that recognizing Palestine is “the only way of advancing towards what everyone recognises as the only possible solution to achieve a peaceful future, one of a Palestinian state that lives side by side with the Israeli state in peace and security”.
Why can’t Canada do the same?
As the International Court of Justice has ruled, the right to self-determination is not conditional on a non-existent peace process. And so, Canada cannot condition the right of Palestinians to self-determination on the interests of a government openly engaged in the destruction and illegal occupation Palestine.
Finally, some say recognizing Palestine is wrong because it departs from long-standing Canadian policy.
But what justifies keeping the same policy in the face of mass slaughter?
Canada should depart from long-standing policy. Otherwise, it risks doing and saying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The status quo is not fit for purpose.
Recognizing Palestine now should be easy for Canada. Palestine exists. We’d only be joining our allies. There are no good arguments not to recognize Palestine. There is no reason to delay.
Let me leave you with an image.
It is fifteen years from now. The world is coming to terms with its inaction in the face of atrocities committed against civilians in Gaza. Canadian MPs stand in the House of Commons to recognize a day of mourning for the tens of thousands of lives lost. The Prime Minister apologies on national television for not doing more when we all knew – we all watched – the massacres take place.
What would you say to your children or grandchildren who ask you then: what did you do?
I join Canadians who are watching you now – today – to see what you do.
Canada has an opportunity to do something no Canadian government has done before, and something that is the legally, politically, and diplomatically right thing to do.
This Committee has voted to study the “quickest path” to recognition. The quickest path is the one that you take today.
The time has come to recognize Palestine. Now
@AlexNeve24 July 31, 2025:
A thoughtful, wrenching, necessary & timely read from @MarkKersten, especially for anyone still grappling with whether the unspeakable horrors Israel is inflicting on the people of Gaza amount to genocide. They do.
@mfproudman:
When Indian residential schools and even the adoption of native children by non-native families are “genocides,” then we know how seriously to take the accusations against Israel.
It remains a question why so many Western intellectuals hate Israel so much, and why a formerly serious paper like the Globe and Mail would carry this.
@stevenchase:
Canada intends to recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday.
@AmarAmarasingam 2025:
- Arc of the moral universe, etc.
Teachers, journalists, healthcare workers, and academics have been fired or suspended for expressing pro-Palestinian views. Some workers and students have been added to public or private blacklists (Canary Mission) for pro-Palestinian activism
- Students and professionals have had job offers or scholarships rescinded due to public or private pressure campaigns.
In countries like France, Germany, India, and Egypt, individuals have been arrested for waving flags, organizing protests, or posting pro-Palestinian messages
3. Foreign students, workers, or visitors have been denied entry or deported for past pro-Palestinian activism or social media posts.
- Students have faced suspension, expulsion, or disciplinary hearings for organizing protests or writing articles supportive of Palestine.
University administrations have come under pressure to discipline or silence pro-Palestinian faculty and students.
- Pro-Palestinian individuals are often portrayed as antisemitic in media outlets, regardless of their actual statements or actions.
Content supporting Palestine has been removed on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Activists report their posts being deboosted.
- And now I guess the tide is finally turning?
Good, but also go fuck yourselves.I agree about team Carney-Harper et al needing to fuck themselves with all the other vile hate-filled Zionists in Canada, but I don’t trust Con Carney for one second. He, like Harper, is a racist and a liar (one example, Bill C-5, 2nd example, he’s not a liberal).
I think Carney listed his impossible conditions knowing Palestine, bombed to pieces, is unable to fulfill them. That’s unforgivable cruelty Carney! And you think only Palestine must release their hostages, but not Israel’s 9,000 held without charge, including kids? Fuck that Carney, and Fuck you and your Harper Con Cruelty.
@infinite__jaz:
I maintain that one of the biggest reasons we can’t have a coherent discourse on I/P is the media’s refusal to cover Israel’s prison system—a network of torture camps holding 1000s of Palestinian men, women & children w/o charge—while breathlessly covering the hostages in Gaza.
@infinite__jaz:
Today I learned Israel is holding an American child hostage: 16-year-old Palestinian-American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim has spent 5 months in Megiddo Prison—long known for torture—over rock-throwing accusations. He’s lost 26 pounds and contracted scabies. Where’s the outrage?
Missing on the above excellent summary of Nazi Israel-USA’s crimes, is the hundreds of $billions Israel has stolen of Palestine’s oil and gas (which must be frac’d) and which Netanyahu illegally granted licences to numerous oil and gas majors to rape.
@backroads_linda:
It’s common knowledge Israel holds many Palestinian children in their prisons & many (all?) become victimized sexually.

Creepy as Fuck:Stephen Harper joined ex-spymasters in company investing in Israeli security tech, Former PM is a partner at firm that includes some of the world’s top former intelligence executives
Former prime minister Stephen Harper is working with former leaders of three major intelligence agencies — the Mossad, the CIA and MI5 — in a Canadian private investment company.
AWZ Ventures invests in Israeli cybersecurity, intelligence and physical security technologies.
Despite the many prominent individuals behind it, the company remains low-profile in Canada.
The head office of AWZ (pronounced Oz) Ventures is at 20 Eglinton Ave. West in Toronto, on the 10th floor of an office tower at the corner of Yonge Street.
… Former Conservative public safety minister Stockwell Day is also involved with the company.
AWZ Ventures has recruited former executives of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. They include Haim Tomer — who spent more than 30 years with the agency, serving as head of Mossad’s intelligence, counter-terrorism and international divisions — and Gary Barnea, a former deputy director of Mossad’s special operations division.
Richard Fadden, former director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and a former national security adviser to Harper, also works for the company.
Fadden sits on AWZ Ventures’ advisory committee. … Two major figures from U.S. and U.K. intelligence circles are also part of AWZ Ventures — former CIA director James Woolsey and former MI5 director general Stella Rimington. …

Stephen Harper’s firm behind spy tech Israel is using to target Gazans, Former prime minister’s fund controls and is the main investor in Israeli company that developed AI-based facial recognition tech being used by IDF on Palestinians by Tim Groves & Martin Lukacs, Apr 10 2024, The Breach
An investment firm led by former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper that is devoted to launching security companies in Israel has a new “success” story: helping that country’s military conduct secret mass surveillance of Palestinians in Gaza.
According to The New York Times, hundreds of Palestinians have been targeted by an “expansive and experimental” spying effort to “collect and catalogue” the faces of Palestinians.
At times, civilians have been “wrongly flagged” as Hamas militants and then interrogated and tortured.
The facial recognition technology the Israeli military is relying on was created by Israeli tech company, Corsight. Founded in 2019, the company officially launched after receiving a $5 million investment from Awz Ventures, the firm where Harper is a leading partner and president of its advisory committee.
Three out of five members of the Israeli company’s board of directors are Harper’s partners at Awz Ventures, meaning the former Canadian Prime Minister’s firm effectively controls Corsight.
Using Corsight’s spy tech, the Israeli military picked out Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha at a checkpoint in central Gaza in mid-November, as he was attempting to flee with his family to Egypt. He was separated, detained, and beaten.
The surveillance program that uses this technology is being run by the Israeli military’s elite cyber-intelligence Unit 8200.
A former commander of this unit, retired Israeli Brigadier General Ehud Schneorson, is another of Harper’s advisory partners at Awz Ventures. According to a report in Israeli outlet +972 Magazine, Unit 8200 has also overseen an AI-based targeting system that has marked tens of thousands of Gazans for assassination.
Harper’s ‘solidarity’ trip to Israel
Since October 7, the Israeli military has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians in Gaza and hundreds of thousands face famine as a result of Israel’s blockade of essential supplies.
A previous investigation by The Breach found that Awz Ventures has poured investments totalling at least $350 million into high-tech companies that support the Israeli security industry and military.
Harper, who was a hard-line supporter of Israel while prime minister, has promoted Awz Ventures in Israeli media outlets and has said that the company is a chance to “continue what I did in government.”
He made a “solidarity” visit to Israel in February, and was hosted at the Knesset by Knesset speaker Amir Ohana, who called him “one of Israel’s best friends of all time.”
He also met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel.
In an op-ed published at the same time in the National Post, Harper compared Hamas to the Nazis and said Israel’s attacks on Gaza “should end the same way our war with the Nazis did—by the unconditional surrender of its perpetrators.”
In late March, The New York Times reported that Corsight’s facial recognition technology was first used to search for Israelis taken hostage during the October 7 cross-border attack by Hamas. Corsight was then brought in by the military during their ground offensive in Gaza to create and use the facial recognition program.
After discovering that Corsight’s technology was faulty and had delivered false positives, the Israeli military supplemented it with Google Photos, the corporate giant’s free photo sharing service.
At Corsight, board member and retired Israeli major general Giora Eiland has advocated for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza in Israeli newspaper articles.
In October, he wrote that Israel “has no choice but to turn Gaza into a place that is temporarily or permanently impossible to live in,” and that “creating a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza is a necessary means to achieving the goal.”
Later, he wrote that “Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist.”
