Canada

Was it the genocide?

Good article that clearly outlines how Israel has exploited the steadfast support of allies like Canada to commit crimes against humanity.

Even Holocaust survivors don't get a blank cheque from the international community to commit crimes with impunity.

And before supporters whine about human shields and existential threats, the article outlines how there are many examples of abuses from the IDF. The problem isn't just that these abuses were committed, but the defensive rationalization being provided by the Israeli government to excuse these actions and attitudes, thereby ensuring they will continue to happen under the guise of self defense.

Committing and supporting genocide is against international law. I am glad to see Canada starting to pull it its head out of the U.S./Israel's ass and start to take their legal obligations seriously.

European opinion was further alienated in March of this year (North Americans were distracted by other events)

this North American is guilty as charged, it's the first I heard of the part below...

when Israeli forces broke a two-month ceasefire and, five days later, attacked a convoy of ambulances in Gaza, killing 15 paramedics and aid workers. When the bodies were discovered in a shallow grave days later, the IDF claimed they had approached a checkpoint with lights out, and the deaths were the result of a tragic confusion.

The IDF was forced to change its story after it was contradicted by a video on a mobile phone recovered from a first responder's body that left little doubt that the soldiers knew whom they were attacking.

If the free world isn't planning an intervention right now, I don't know in what circumstances that we should.
