Canada does not recognize permanent Israeli control over territories occupied in 1967 (the Golan Heights, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip).

As referred to in UN Security Council Resolutions 446 and 465, Israeli settlements in the occupied territories are a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

The settlements also constitute a serious obstacle to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace.

There Are No Rules

States and quasi-states are using extreme, uninhibited violence against civilian populations.

By Anne Applebaum

Extract

The russian invasion of #Ukraine and Hamas’s attack on #Israeli civilians are both blatant rejections of that rules-based world order, and they herald something new. Both aggressors have deployed a sophisticated, militarized, modern form of terrorism, and they do not feel apologetic or embarrassed about this at all

These people saying that, given enough time, they could write as well as Shakespeare is asinine. The idea that I could write plays or sonnets of the quality of Shakespeare’s is as ludicrous a proposition as Shakespeare thinking he could shitpost at my level.

When people say "Israel gets what it deserves" or when a Jew is saying that they're worried about a missing family member and the reply is "Free Palestine!", or when someone says "See, all religion is bad!", etc.

With >50 reports, my brain is fried.

I have coined a new term:

Spoon Eater.

For all those people who waste your time and energy, leaving nothing for the stuff that is important.

The current generation should not be burdened with guilt of the atrocities of the previous, it should however hold shame for the past. You can not build a mythic past if it is a shameful one. You can not idealize the past if you have felt it’s truth.
