Following the events in Iran, Alexandre Boulerice, NDP Foreign Affairs Critic, issued the following statement:

"The NDP strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran. This is a dangerous escalation that risks dragging the entire region into a major conflict. The oppressive and bloody regime of the Ayatollahs is reprehensible, but its nuclear program must be managed through the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In fact, its Director General, Mr. Grossi, recently indicated that he was working with the Iranian administration to resume inspections and reiterated that there could be no solution other than a diplomatic one.

The NDP deplores the Carney government’s decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump’s administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace, and international law."

    Saying that Israel controls the world’s governments is an antisemitic trope that is entirely unnecessary for condemning Israeli apartheid and the Gaza genocide. I brought up the recognition of Palestine not to say that Canada has a pro-palestinine policy, but to make the simple point that our policy is not controlled by Israel (if we were, we would not have done it).

    Does there exist a big pro-israel bias in western mainstream politics? Yes. But that is not *control". Control implies absolute power on the part of the controller and lack of agency on the part of the controlled.

      Saying that Israel controls the world’s governments is an antisemitic trope that is entirely unnecessary for condemning Israeli apartheid and the Gaza genocide.

      No it is not . Israel do not represent all jews and will never do. Let start for the start even before the creation of the state Zionists who create the state killed multiple jews they ever directly ordered the assassination of an anti Zionist jew journalist named Jacob Israël de Haan. Many jews at that time even rejected the idea of a Jewish state is necessary especially not one created by ethnically cleansing the local population . Israel did sterilize Ethiopian jews unvoluntary, you can also see how they call some other jews with the term self hating jews and you can see videos of Israeli police attacking anti occupation jews

      https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2013-01-27/ty-article/.premium/ethiopians-fooled-into-birth-control/0000017f-f512-d044-adff-f7fb92c30000

      So based on all of the facts saying Israel control a country is not antisemitic although I disagree with those people who believe it

      I brought up the recognition of Palestine not to say that Canada has a pro-palestinine policy, but to make the simple point that our policy is not controlled by Israel

      Words with no action and without acknowledging the nature of the conflict is called hypocrisy my friend. Everybody know that Palestine is occupied and the nature of occupation is a settler colonialism one so why did it take 78 years to finally pretend to support recognition of Palestine. It is a shame that many got fooled by politicians words. A state with not all it’s right that international laws give them is not a real state . Carney is saying that the victims of settler colonialism should not have an army to defend itself when it is free but Israel have just to return part of the west bank and nothing else.

      Netenyahu as the head of the government decided to put extremists like ben gvir in his government. Netenyahu as the head of the government is the one who is approving more settlements aka colonies so he bring more settlers that are harrasing, beating and killing west bankers so the sanctions just be on Netenyahu himself and the state of Israel. Carney did not ask to investigate the selling of west bank occupied land in Canadian synagogues All of this show that Carney is lying about opposing settlements

      Here 18 years of documentation of Israel crimes by an israeli human right organization

        Pretty presumptuous of you to assume that someone pointing out antisemitism to you needs a lesson on all the ways the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime is a genocidal apartheid regime.

        Beyond that I’ve nothing to add to what I previously wrote. It’s pretty clear.

          Don’t repeat Zionist propaganda, then. There’s nothing antisemitic about saying Israel controls the USA, although I disagree that it is the case

              I am educated. Your logic makes zero sense you agree that Israel don’t represent jews at the same time you are implying that saying Israel control the USA means jews control the USA. It effing doesn’t

                Sigh. Multiple things can be true simultaneously. Israel doesn’t represent all Jews. Israel doesn’t have to represent all Jews for people to ascribe to it classic antisemitic tropes. Calling out those antisemitic tropes because perpetuating them hurts all Jews is not spreading Israeli propaganda.

                It’s not that hard.

                • The Bloods and the Crips do not represent black culture. They don’t have to represent black culture for people to ascribe to them classic anti-black racist tropes. Calling out those racist tropes because perpetuating them hurts all black people is not doing gang propaganda.
                • TERFs do not represent all feminist politics. They don’t have to represent all feminist politics for people to ascribe to them classic sexist tropes. Calling out those sexist tropes because perpetuating them hurts all women is not transphobic propaganda.

                I can keep going. This is the kind of hair splitting you need to be able to do if you want to call yourself educated.

                  You are assuming that anybody who think Israel is controlling the USA are antisemite who really just means jews controlling the USA . It is you who hurt jews which your stupid logic and false accusations . You analogies has nothing to do and not comparable to the discussion .

                  You are not only uneducated you can’t comprehend basic logic.

                    A, a, a, a, careful there. Read what I actually wrote, I was very careful. I said “people ascribe tropes”. I didn’t talk about what people are, I talked about what tropes they ascribe.

                    At this point, I don’t think I have anything else to discuss with you. Toodles.
