Canada@lemmy.ca•Israeli official who ordered strike on World Central Kitchen that killed Canadian says he's not sorry, that WCK has Hamas links and is not really an organisation you can say is innocent.
8·2 days agoI’m sorry, I don’t prescribe to conspiracy theories and blanket statements.
It would be ignorant to not notice the imperialist aspects of western hegemons supporting an ethnostate that destabilizes the middle east, the feedback loop of that creating support and lobby groups in the imperial states, the amount of money involved in the lobby groups, the military industrial complex and oil oligarchs that are elbows deep in it, the growing christo-fascist ideology in the US, or the affinity amongst colonial mindsets.
And that’s just power dynamics. There’s also the social aspect and influences on different generations where the older generation empathizes with victims of WW2 while younger generations are far more removed and empathize with current victims; as well as the proliferation of information directly to the viewer instead of distilled through oligarchic owned media outlets - which is why there is a growing number of anti-Zionist Jewish groups breaking away from Israeli founding myths.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Campus Antisemitism Report Hid a Key Finding that Turns the Results Upside Down
15·3 days agoWhat a flawed report, and it’s used as the crutch by lobby groups to influence politicians.
For example, Dr. El Jones—an Associate Professor in political and cultural studies who is neither a student nor Jewish—was able to complete the survey, twice.

28·3 days agoNot sanctioned by Canada either. Simply “unacceptable” according to Anand, but no further push back.

Canada@lemmy.ca•[Video] Jewish Zionist in Montreal yells at a brown man that he is going to kill a lot of brown people. "I f**king killed a lot of motherf**kers like you... I'm going back to do more."
7·5 days agoWhether out of town or not, he should be put in jail for hate speech and then investigated further if he should be forwarded to the Hague.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Am I allowed to bring 5000 OMR in Canada upon visiting?
4·6 days agoYou can bring it in - it won’t be seized (unless illegal money) - you can exchange it at your typical exchange shop, though you should call ahead to see if that shop specifically accepts it (most do)

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian prime minister suspends trade talks with U.S., setting new 50% tariffs in motion
2·9 days agoOr sue Facebook and Xitter out the wazoo like other countries are doing.
And this coming week, we have a fanatical Israeli settler who encourages genocide coming to Canada to give a talk about it!
Right? Maybe he saw the poll and changed course?
Canada could stop sending weapons to Israel and disband the Israel/Canada free trade agreement
I don’t think you’ve been paying much attention to the many actions and statements of government. The current Canadian government has been twisting itself into knots to not hold Israel accountable.

Canada@lemmy.ca•12 international students at Calgary protest referred to CBSA office after status check
0·17 days agoI agree that the TFW is being heavily abused and that’s something that hasn’t been closed off since Trudeau and will continue under Carney.
However, I don’t think broke students were fueling the 3200/month condo studio crisis. More likely that they were shacking up 5 to a room in the burbs in someone’s non compliant basement unit.
Rent prices and development dropped because everyone is broke and holding onto their money during precarious times (it’s also more profitable to invest in stocks than real estate) - correlation of a drop in immigrants is not causation of drop in prices.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Petition for sanctioning Israel for their ongoing genocide of Palestinians
1·18 days agoTrue, but the framing of this legislation is about the illegal occupation in the West Bank. And Canada likes to claim that we follow international law. So we’ll see what traction it can get

Canada@lemmy.ca•Petition for sanctioning Israel for their ongoing genocide of Palestinians
7·19 days agoI don’t either, but I’m going to exercise my democratic right to do what I can and have this on the docket to be discussed.
Let’s see which MPs are openly supportive of genocide
Here, just to help you with some more info
Canada NOT putting sanctions on organizations that actually bankroll the settlers with YOUR taxes.

But go on and keep saying how Canada is doing all it can.


While I agree with you on all of your points, your below point doesn’t fit in this particular context
Because they literally reference the conspiracy very openly
