Rabble Rants: Deadly Distractions I Rafah

Topic 1: Toronto Mount Sinai Hospital becomes a major distraction to Canadian Media

Rather than talking about the hospitals in Gaza under attack, Canadian media chose to focus on the erroneous statements of Canadian politicians to again smear peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors.

Host Santiago Helou Quintero was at the Hands Off Rally in Toronto, and has much to say on how the narrative was stolen from the organizers.

Topic 2: Rafah Under Attack

Updates on the situation in Gaza, and the stories of Hind Rajab and Sidra Hassouna.

Topic 3: Egypt Building a Wall

With a second Nakba happening in Palestine, reports were coming in about a wall being built by Egyptian authorities near the border with Gaza. Satellite images have confirmed this developing - which confirms the fears that the displacement of Palestinians to the Sinai desert is imminent.
