This ridiculous guy’s only actual qualification for being the forerunner in the polls is …not having been in power for the last few years. The stupid Canadian custom of just voting for the other guy every other election is going to cost us dearly this time.
He has been in power in the last few years, just not as prime minister.
I mean, Canada doesn’t have much to do with the conflict and has a lot of its own problems but yeah, I guess PP being outrageous to get publicity is pretty on brand.
This dude falling into a wood chipper would be a gift to humanity.
'the fuck is this guy on?
Do you think The Ayatollas possessing nukes is a good thing for the world?
They actually don’t currently have nukes though.
Iran’s nuclear program is advanced although it lacks atomic-weapons capability, while Israel is considered an undeclared nuclear-weapons power.
This is just irresponsible warmongering from a dude who only has slogans and zero solutions.
Waiting for “Stop the nukes” to be added to his list of single-syllable talking points…
I’m getting flashbacks
Look, we all know the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence: https://youtu.be/2msQwpzatQc
I distinctly remember a nuclear deal. Whatever happened to it.
As bad as Israel owning it
Right because the following two things are the same:
- A radical Islamist regime that has openly expressed genocidal intent towards the Jewish state, and Jews worldwide, and sponsors Islamist terrorists around the world, and has destabilized the entire Middle East and destroyed countries; and
- The world’s only Jewish state with a total population of 9 million people that just wants to be left alone to live in peace but has been forced to fight for its survival since literally the day it declared independence.
If they want to be left alone, they should stop building illegal settlements in the West Bank.
You do realize this conflict predates the settlements, don’t you? By about 50 years. The settlements certainly don’t help the situation, but they are nowhere near a significant root cause of the conflict.
We don’t need to go back to Abraham’s time. Israel and Palestine came to an agreement 30 years ago. Palestine recognized Israel and in return there was supposed to be a peace process leading to two states in roughly the 1967 borders. But Israelis kept building settlements. At this point they have short of a million settlers living in places such that a contiguous Palestinian state is impossible. This has completely delegitimized the moderate Palestinians as any kind of potent political force and has lead to radicals taking over in Gaza. This is absolutely a significant root cause of the current phase of the conflict.
They spent 30 years building FACTS ON THE GROUND which are now just the facts they have to live with. They shit the bed, didn’t clean up and kept shitting. Now the rest of us are supposed to be empathetic when they act surprised they got sick.
You don’t have a grasp of the history. You make it sound like the Palestinians were actively working towards peace and only became radicalized 30 years ago, which is simply untrue. The Palestinians have been radicalized since Arafat became Chairman of the PLO in the 1960’s. The PLO carried out their first terror attack years before the 1967 war, before Israel even came to occupy Gaza and the WB. The 1948 war was literally a war of annihilation carried out by several Arab countries (and thankfully they lost).
Even Arafat’s supporters blame him for walking away from the negotiating table at Camp David. Peace was in sight and he rejected it. Abbas was offered almost everything in 2008 and again they rejected it. Do you know why? Because they have never been interested in peaceful coexistence with Israel. Never. They have rejected every partition plan and every peace deal because nothing less than all of it is acceptable to them.
“Israel wants to be left alone”
What an absolute load of horseshit, is that why they attacked the fucking UN today, got bored of easy targets like women and children? Sorry I mean Hamas operatives…
The person you’re arguing with is a Dark Lord of the Sith
Attacked the UN? WTF are you even talking about?
And yes, every single war has been started by Israel’s enemies.
At least be aware of current events if your going to chat shit.
He’s an 11 day old spam account.
LOL “attacked the UN”
Holy shit you people are insane
people that just wants to be left alone to live in peace
Youre exactly like a German in the 30’s drooling about Lebensraum.
Sick genocide supporting fuck.
Nice Holocaust inversion, idiot.
I support Jewish people, and the people of Israel. I do not support their ongoing genocide, landgrabs, and invasions.
If you support the genocide of the Palestinian people (note I did not say HAMAS, who can go fuck itself), and Israel seizing their land, then you might be the bad guys.
The only people “supporting genocide” are, ironically, the supposed peace activists who are screaming for intifada and cheering for Hamas and Hezbollah on our streets and college campuses.
Invasions? Do you mean when they retaliated against Gaza AFTER BEING INVADED on Oct 7? Or do you mean retaliating against Hezbollah, AFTER A YEAR OF HEZBOLLAH ROCKETS BEING FIRED INTO ISRAEL? Do you think that Israel should just sit back and let themselves be slowly destroyed attack by attack?
I think there’s a big difference between protecting yourself and your people, and killing 40,000 civilians while whatever the hell this is.
Love to see you have eaten the poised, miss-information campaign about the peace protests.
So, yes, Israel is absolutely committing a genocide. I for one am against genocides, Are you? How many civilians are allowed to death while defending yourself?
Its currently nearly 40:1. Is that ok? if so, what about 80:1? 200:1? 400:1? When is enough enough?
Do you know how many civilians died in WWII protecting the world from the Nazis and Imperial Japan?
And no, Israel is not committing a genocide. Claiming “40,000 dead civilians” doesn’t define a genocide. Besides, a large proportion of those “civilians” were actually Hamas fighters.
It’s frightening how many people just soak up terrorist propaganda. What are you going to bring up next? The alleged hospital bombing? The fake famine? The so-called “Flour Massacre?”
Haha, you have just discovered the strong anti-Western, anti-Israel streak in Lemmy politics. I had to unsubcribe from the news forums because of it. Lemmy politics is pretty much the opposite of Reddit politics, and consciously so.
I’m getting that sense…
Oh, they just wanna be left alone! That makes sense why they committed a genocide and have now instigated war.
What war did they instigate?
Left alone, as in “colonize” a bit more on the land they are stealing? Ah but we must understand Israelis, they just need a little Lebensraum to “defend themselves” from the people they stole land from.
Israel just need to “colonize” and expand on other people’s land by killing those already living there. They obviously just want to be left alone doing their “colonizing” and bringing civilization to otherwise barren lands.
I’d show you images of Israel expanding and taking more Palestinian land over the decades but you’ll probably say those are propaganda and that since Palestine is not recognized, killing their people and stealing their land is totally fine and in the line of wanting to be “left alone”.
What land are you referring to?
Its called an arms race, you build nukes I build nukes.
stfu pee pee
This vibes well with a country that’s the reason the Geneva Convention was made.
