Shimmi Kelly

Shimmi Kelly participated in the pro-Hamas protest encampment at UofT in May 2024.

Shimmi Kelly is a law student who participated [slide 2] in the encampment on the evening of May 2, 2024. In an Instagram photo, Kelly was featured [slide 1] in the center wearing a keffiyeh around her shoulders alongside other activists.

The text accompanying the photo said: “When we say ‘one struggle one fight’ we mean it! / Liberation for ALL, from Turtle Island to Palestine…#freepalestine #stoptheoccupation #stopbombinggaza …”

The phrase “Turtle Island” or “occupied Turtle Island” is a name that some indigenous peoples use for North America. The call to “decolonize” Turtle Island, shouted at anti-Israel rallies and backed by major anti-Israel activist groups, is a call for the destruction of the United States of America and Canada. Similarly, the call to “decolonize” Palestine is a call for Israel’s destruction.
