Since the conflict broke out between Hamas and Israel I have been clear on my position.
I refuse to get involved in a conflict that has nothing to do with Canada.
Comment: I have just read about the recent call of the Liberał MPs , [ 2 ] (supported by the Canadian-Jewish MPs), to limit public and political debate on the situation pertaining to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This includes the call for cancelling the hearing and debate with CBC reporters who had voiced opinions different from the official pro-Israeli narrative. I wonder why? Are they afraid of a debate based on true history, facts on the ground, and international law? I am also disgusted with one-sided reporting of this conflict by the majority of the media, including some “alternatives”. In the wake of the liberał policies on the “pandemic”- related measures, I find it increasingly difficult to believe any of their statements as unquestionably true and objective. My opinion.

Comment: Cutting electricity, water, food, and other supplies to Gaza constitutes collectiva punishment, which is both illegal and immoral. I have heard long ago that Hamas was working for Israeli illegal expansion, providing Israel with a pretext to retaliate and use force on the population of Palestine. End goal – depopulation and annexation of the Pakestinian Occupied Territories and Gaza. However, today, I want to share with you some of the links to the history of this conflict.
Now, my personal comment: Twenty years ago, I ran a website focusing on the “Middle East Conflict”. I collected materials on the creation of the State of Israel, on the Six-Day War in 1967, on the UN resolutions pertaining to the occupation of Palestinian Territories, on the conflict between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, on the war on Lebanon in Summer of 2006, on the “bloody murder” of civilians in Gaza in 2008/2009, on the use of illegal weapons in densely populated civilian areas (white phosphorus bombs, cluster bombs, and depleted uranium munitions), on many other events that went in the same direction. After decades of occupation, after war crimes and inhumane treatment of civilians (including children), after illegal expansion achieved through terrorism, occupation, dispossesion, denial of the right of refugees to return, after economic blockades, after building illegal settlements, after many violations of UN resolutions, after illegal bombardment of targets in other sovereign states (for example, in Syria), … I am extremely surprised that many media outlets and many politicians are now seeing “half of the truth” or not seeing the truth at all. This is a great disappointment but also a great opportunity to discover who is who in this dirty, criminal, and hypocritical business.

If you’re like us, you’re probably heart-broken and frustrated. While the world is rightfully horrified by Hamas’ attacks on civilians, political leaders blindly cheerlead Israel’s vengeful violence against the entire population of Gaza, punishing innocent people for the actions of Hamas. Meanwhile, in Canada, extremist voices seek to silence support for Palestinians and their rights, equating any form of sympathy with support for violence against civilians. It’s easy to feel despairing, but we owe it to the Palestinians in Gaza and to international justice to stay in the fight.
If you have friends or family in Gaza, we extend our heart-felt support and sympathy. May they remain safe in the days ahead.

“There is a campaign under way to essentially destroy the public education system along with every aspect of human life and attitudes and thought that involve social solidarity. It’s being done in all sorts of ways. One is simply by underfunding. So, if you can make the public schools really rotten, people will look for an alternative. Any service that’s going to be privatized, the first thing you do is make it malfunction so people can say, “We want to get rid of it. It’s not running. Let’s give it to Lockheed.” — Noam Chomsky, The Progressive Magazine, September 1999, p.37
