At a Thanksgiving gathering with voters, another candidate in the same race fielded questions about affordability but also about moral leadership when it came to Israel's war in Gaza. A third candidate vying for the same seat devoted much of his campaign's launch video to lambasting the current member of Congress representing the district over the funding he's received from the pro-Israel lobby.

I feel electric, I feel amazing. I feel like being uncompromising in your values, whether it be about touching that third rail of speaking out against Israel or primarily focusing on affordability in your campaign strategy, turns out very effective. Piker added: It's something that I know you know, it's something I have spoken to every f*cking Democrat about. Can I curse on Zeteo? I am sorry.

Adnaan and Tor Stumo, the two Massachusetts men who were detained by Israeli forces while aboard a volunteer flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza, were released earlier this month. The same day they returned home to the United States, a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas officially came into effect. The brothers, who grew up in a political family, aren't new to activism, especially not for Palestine. Ralph Nader, a lawyer and political activist, is their great uncle.

Toronto police say eight people have been arrested after they allegedly broke into the office of a member of Parliament and refused to leave as part of a protest Thursday morning. Police say they were called to the protest near Bloor Street W. and Dorval Road around 11:30 a.m. They allege that about 30 to 40 people forced their way into the common area of an MP's office, and a lone staff member called 911.

While the petition failed to have an impact, a louder protest outside Microsoft's headquarters kickstarted a wave of public activism. Two of the organizers of No Azure for Apartheid - Abdo Mohamed and Hossam Nasr - were fired for disrupting colleagues with "bullhorns and speakers." They've been recruiting Microsoft employees, other tech workers, and community members ever since. The group has since made headlines for interrupting Microsoft executives during a 50th anniversary celebration and at the company's Build developer conference earlier this year.

A proscription would make it a crime to be a member of Palestine Action, carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.
