  • Iran says the deal to end the war with the US requires Israel to withdraw from Lebanon

    Jump

  • Because drumpf can't reign in a rabid dog that is supposedly the US's closest ally.

  • Fighting the symptoms instead of the cause

    Jump

  • If you want to share your ignorance loudly and proudly, then you'll get corrected.

    Canada is not doing anything to stop the systemic abuse by a fascist ethnostate, and then putting a bandaid solution of throwing money at victims who will keep dying with Canadian made weapons.

    If you want to boiler plate it to "they're not doing anything and then doing something", then you're full of it.

  • That's useless - the settlers are sanctioned from Canada. These aren't global sanctions like those the US puts on people.

    Sanctions on the country or stopping armaments from getting to Israel and then into settler hands is more effective.

    But no no, you're more informed...you looked up "Canada Israel sanctions".

  • Fighting the symptoms instead of the cause

    Jump

  • That's a false premise argument you just made - The OP isn't stating that money shouldn't be sent. It's that Canada should treat the primary issue on why the aid needs to be sent in the first place instead of support it with military armament.

    Hope that helps clear it up.

  • Interim US-Iran peace deal sparks anger among Israelis, who lash out at Netanyahu

  • Canada pledges $100M for Palestinians facing settler violence, humanitarian crisis

    Jump

  • Money is great, but sanctions to prevent genocide is better, saves money, and penalizes the apartheid ethnostate.

  • Pro-Palestine activists sentenced as terrorists over damage at Israeli arms factory in UK

    Jump

  • Ah, UK courts deciding to label people as terrorists even when that wasn't the initial charge, and without a jury present (i.e. after they've already decided on criminal charges).

  • Canada Post announces nearly 500K addresses to lose home delivery

    Jump

  • Wow, there it is...the dumbest comment I've read today.

    Perfectly opinionated, shares a problem that's easily solvable but blames it on Canada Post, and so moronically wrong.

    🏆 Here's your award, friend.

  • ‘Condemnation, condemnation, condemnation’ of Israel, but no sanctions at next EU summit

    Jump

  • Edit: nevermind, he's a shit poster

  • ‘Condemnation, condemnation, condemnation’ of Israel, but no sanctions at next EU summit

    Jump

  • Germany and Czech are some of the biggest arms suppliers and buyers to/from Israel

    What is incredibly stupid is that, sure, the topic is brought up at the EU council, but then why don't the individual states also apply sanctions?

  • UK, Australia and Canada launch $4 million fund for Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, advance two-state solution

    Jump

  • Glad that lifeline has been restored, but there is no two state with settlements and the settlements are purpose-built to not allow two states.

    This funding just seems to be about changing attitudes, and I wonder whose attitude they'll work on changing - the oppressed or the oppressor.

  • UK, Australia and Canada launch $4 million fund for Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, advance two-state solution

    Jump

  • Didn't they pull funding from UNRWA after Israel did a massive smear campaign against it? UNRWA was literally the lifeline for Gaza.

    The best way to encourage a 2 state solution is by sanctioning Israel for the genocide they're perpetrating and the apartheid they're enacting against Palestinians in Israel.

    Not to mention that Israel's settlements plan is literally to subvert the chances of a 2 state solutions. So good luck with "educational lessons" to bridge the gap of distrust.

  • Former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland publishing book about Canada-U.S. relations

    Jump

  • The person who kept on saying Canada needs closer ties to Israel while they were ethnically cleansing and killing medics in 2019?

    She is very much the center to right liberal that we should not be listening to and she's definitely not the one to listen to just because she was in a few discussions regarding the last USMCA deal that she quit from.

    I don't care much for money-grab books like the one she wrote praising her Nazi collaborator grandfather.

  • [Opinion] Canada has its eyes wide shut in approach to strengthening China ties

    Jump

  • The amount of opinion pieces and fear mongering on Chinese EV cars stealing data I've seen - doesn't look like eyes shut, but actually a lot more sinophobia and more scrutiny than I've seen applied to anything else.

    US funding separatists in Alberta - opinion piece saying we need stronger ties with the US

    Israel spyware known to track car systems and their phone hacking software used by RCMP - MPs drafting documents to diminish EV (specifically) data collection

    The US abusing it's extradition treaty to imprison Huawei CFO - opinion piece about how we need to watch out for Chinese influence and their international policing

    And I'm not saying that these protections aren't important, just that now it's a big issue and harms our sovereignty all of a sudden.

    I wonder who gains the most when we put up these barriers but to only one country instead of all others...

  • Israel puts Palestinian doctor in solitary confinement after 17 months held without charge

    Jump

  • I think you mean the Gestapo

  • US destroys Iran reservoirs, leaving thousands without water in searing heat

    Jump

  • If we've been paying attention, then the US is a vassal state of Israel and likes to support authoritarians globally (like Russia).

  • Proton has respond on reddit

    Jump

  • While I agree that the response is heavily AI generated, I have to disagree that he's pro-Maga. He reached out to both democrats and republicans to talk about the importance of privacy and the democrats turned him down (or entirely ignored him) while the republicans met with him.

    He then went on Xitter to shame the Dems and said that the Republicans seemed to be the party caring about privacy.

    He's definitely a dumbass for trying to play it that way, but he did not come out in support of Maga.

    Have your say! The Government of Canada launches public consultations on the future of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

  • Lebanese president accuses Iran of using his country as a bargaining chip in peace talks with the US

    Jump

  • I'm not sure what your argument is.

    We can talk about the marginalization of the Shia and also their forced migration from central parts of Lebanon to the South all day long. Yes, it happened. I'm not denying that. But the primary reason that Hezbollah exists is as a resistance group, otherwise they wouldn't need their weapons.

    You'll also notice that even in the article you quoted, issa mentions that the South was also unstable with the influx of refugees and skirmishes between them and Israel, AND the marginalization of the Shia.

    The problem was not simply poverty, according to Issa, but government abandonment under the conditions of permanent threat.

    So what's your argument exactly?
