Speaking of pissing off allies, Israel isn't ingratiating themselves to anyone right now. Maybe they should consider their actions if they want happy trading partners? I know, it's all really confusing.

Colour me shocked that you of course missed the point! Canada imports far more than Israel imports from Canada. Substantially more actually. It seems extremely short sighted and ill advised to piss off an ally whose technology you need more than they need yours. Israel does not need Canadian technology, Canada needs Israeli technology. Its a stupid diplomatic decision that could have long lasting consequences for trade between Israel and Canada.

That was a really unhinged post similar to a guy getting dumped and then the guy saying afterwards, "Ha! Ha! I don't need you anyway!", which is really just their way of coping. Then afterwards, go on to point out all the other ####ty things about the girl (e.g. rent is high, inflation is high, ha ha!).

A Canadian arms embargo on Israel is a symbolic gesture that will have zero impact on Israel’s military capability or actions. It’s like Singapore placing a food embargo on Canada.

I see, you are totally correct. We should probably lob some bombs on some Palestinian children ourselves to help out our ally, right?


News flash, not everyone thinks contributing to the murder of innocents is worth the trade advantage. Figure it out. Now, if Israel is concerned about this, they alone have the power to change it.

It isn't about impact. It's about Canada saying they do not agree with what Israel is doing to the poor Palestinians). The complete destruction of all their buildings, the killing of their mostly women and children population, the starving of their population. Sheesh, it's not that hard.

In this situation Canada represents maybe like a side fling who you call once in a while but has no actual bearing on your life or your happiness.

One would hope this side fling cares more about their poor economic trajectory than someone that does not care nor need them

Liberals and NDP wasting time accomplishing nothing. A tale old as time

I mean its just funny because I don't see people marching in the streets protesting when Canada sells arms to Saudi Arabia.

But when it comes to Israel, protests turn violent.

War continues to be a very hard concept for you to wrap your head around. There has been a simple solution to this war that Hamas started and that is the hostages being released and Hamas surrendering. If Canada wants to start making symbolic gestures maybe they should start with various islamic theocracies that surround Israel. Our Foreign Minister just had a nice luncheon and photo op with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates. The UAE provides military aid and support to the Rapid Support Force (RSF) and allied Arab militias in Sudan, who are currently ethnically cleansing towns and actually committing acts of genocide in Sudan. Why hasn’t Canada made any statements towards the UAE for literally funding genocide? Why is our foreign minister having photo ops with their leaders? Where are the protests? Maybe some statements could be made in parliament? Oh wait, No one cares. Not enough Jews involved maybe.

It’s funny how silent all the Israel supporters were over the last little bit while Israel was doing some pretty horrific things, but Canada pulls some funding and suddenly they have plenty to say (well, mostly just “what about ____” as usual, but still).

Pretty clear sign Israel is becoming indefensible.

Funny how no mention from anyone here of Hamas again using Al-Shifa hospital as their headquarters. Hiding behind civilians again and again but we know you have no issue with it!

Maybe the Hamas terrorists that use hospitals as human shields is just a made up Zionist plot! Maybe the evil Zionists actually built Hamas tunnels too. And actually maybe October 7th was just an Israeli plot to steal Gaza from the Palestinians!

All these have been said in this thread^

So indefensible!!

River to the sea right pepsi?

No one who is actually Pro-Israel wants to continuously engage with the blood libelists in this thread.

I find arguing in this thread pretty pointless and aggravating, so I avoid it. It has nothing to do with my views on current events.

Look at you zionists, trash talking your own country to justify the war crimes of your favorite foreign nation.

Canada, a NATO member, a G7 country, and the first Western nation to impose a full arms embargo against Israel is pretty huge no matter which way you cut it. Now voices are getting louder to follow suit in the EU, UK and even the US.

I wasn’t aware that Canadians cannot criticize their government? What is this? Gaza? Saudi Arabia? Egypt?

Oh I see what you are doing, replace Zionist with Jews in your statement and just say it with your chest Q. That you believe Jews are more loyal to Israel than Canada. Disgusting comment

[Johnny199r]

Surprised both sides haven’t been able to convince each other that they’re right in this thread.

Funny how no one called this out. Funny. Carry on with the anti-Semitic sorry I mean anti Zionist echo chamber

[_Q_]

Cry me a river Beninho. Calling people critical of zionism or Israel antisemitic is the oldest trick in the book and is a cheap, if not transparent tactic.

You as well as I know that you're being dishonest.

Are you actually that daft? Accusing Jews of having dual loyalty is literally classic antisemitism and has been around far before Israel existed. All you did was do what a 21st century antisemite does and replace Jew with Zionist.

Accusing me for being more loyal or favouring Israel because i am critical of Canadas embargo is ridiculous and classic antisemitism. Again, I wasn’t aware that being critical of a government policy should have peoples loyalty questioned. That’s exactly what you are doing and you know exactly what you are doing. But Ok senator McCarthy, maybe go report me as a double agent.

If Stephen Harper was in power and you were critical of his governments support for Israel and someone told you that you are more loyal to Palestine or favouring another nation to “trash talk” your own what would you call that?

I was discussing the embargo by Canada and you decided to lob accusations about my “loyalty”or whatever the #### you are trying to say. Congrats on your monumental win jackass. The cognitive dissonance you have is astounding

Being critical of canada is OK, but being critical of Israel or zionism is antisemitic somehow? The double standard would be breathtaking if it wasn't so tragic.

You're willing to defend Israel while they commit a literal genocide, but you belittle the importance of the country you live in for standing up to the genocide.
