PM pushes step towards his ‘Zionist Palestinian state’ - Yves Engler

Mark Carney is doubling down on a colonial force in the West Bank with barely a peep from pro-Palestinian forces. In fact, some are supporting a security initiative that highlights the scope of Canadian Zionism and liberal/left naivety towards “aid”. At the UN last week, the prime minister announced new funds to bolster a security

    Yeah, he gave an interview basically blaming the Palestinians and saying that they should just agree to live under a Zionist state. The dumbass literally told an oppressed people to live under apartheid and be happy about it.

      Every single thing must be about Palestine. Palestine must be the sole litmus test for any and all people forever.

      No.

        Apartheid and genocide are two of many litmus tests and, given the context of the post being about apartheid and genocide in Palestine, Mark is failing it badly

      A human position on Palestine wasn’t on the ballot. We have to take that to the streets, to BDS and any other avenue. That’s true voting or not.

      What was on the ballot is women’s rights, lgbt+ rights and many more things we take for granted that the Cons try to take away.

      You can’t vote for a change in economic systems.

          And PP would have done better? Please. Fuck off with this shit.

          You vote because there are vulnerable people who have their rights removed or WORSE under conservative and fascist leadership. You vote in solidarity with them.

          Voting doesn’t mean you support someone or believe in them. It’s a 1 hour activity you do because you have a duty to those directly harmed by fascism.

          For those directly harmed by neoliberalism and settler colonialism there was never a candidate for that. That’s what the other 8765 hours in the year are for. That and surviving our late stage capitalist society. This is true whether or not you vote.
