How To Get Canada To End Its Support For Israel's Genocide of the Palestinians

 

We already know the answer.  It's the same answer for any and all revolutions.  Meet up in large (or small!) numbers somewhere, and chant moronically for a couple of hours.  Make sure not to damage any property or anything.  Then go home and await the fruits of your victory.  And if doing that once didn't have any impact, then keep doing it.  And doing it.  And doing it.  As people die and die and die and die.

Never stop to reflect that your "activism" hasn't stopped Canada from continuing to ship weapons to the Israeli nazi regime.  Or to stop Canada from continuing to disgrace us all by providing diplomatic cover for Israel's nazi war criminals.  The only thing keeping Palestinians alive is the material limitations of Israel's ability to slaughter them.

Don't open your eyes to the reality that your strategy and tactics are garbage.  Because that might cause you to have to actually THINK about possible alternatives.  And, since we're all brain-dead, that's a non-starter.

At least you can pat yourself on the back that you "did something."

Canada's Disgusting Culture

 

Look at it this way.  The Israelis are insane.  And they're very thin-skinned.  Even though they've been openly conducting a live-streamed genocide for over a year, they refuse to accept criticism for their nazi-level barbarism.  I'd say that anywhere between 80 to 98 percent of them are sincere when they label criticism of their racist sadism as "antisemitism."  These self-pitying, coddled idiots can't see that it's the genocide that has turned the world against them.  It's "antigenocidism" not "antisemitism."

The whole time though, the "rules-based international order" has aided and abetted them.  The USA has funded them and gone into overdrive to re-supply them with weapons.  The vermin occupying power in the UK, France, Germany, Greece, etc., attack pro-Palestine protesters and keep the trade and weapons and funding going for Israel's murder machine.  Canada assisted in punishing the Ansar Allah in Yemen for their defense of the Palestinians' humanity by assisting in the USA's "Operation Rough Rider."  Canada has also been instrumental in "training" the kapos in the "Palestinian Authority" in the West Bank to beat-down protests against the racist brutality of the Israeli occupiers.

That's what we do.  That's who we Canadians are.  Perhaps half of Canadians gleefully support the slaughter of Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, because of decades of brainwashing by a propaganda system that masquerades as "journamalism."  Most of us don't care one way or another.  It's happening to people out of their immediate zone of interest and so it might as well not be happening at all.  But the decent, sane minority are becoming increasingly disgusted and and then angry.

And so that's when our idiot leaders decided to pretend to visit an "aid site" (where starving Palestinians are shot by US and Israeli nazis for showing up to get food) and the Israeli Child-Killing Force ICKF supposedly fired "warning shots" over their heads.  And it was this shooting at privileged foreigners (rather than the mass slaughter of innocent Palestinian civilians) that empowered the cynical stooges in the West to issue strong words criticizing the Israelis and to implement token sanctions against Israeli inviduals.

And this weak sauce was apparently enough for a significant number of Canadian progressives who desperately want to believe that their culture isn't entirely irredeemable.

 Addendum to my last post: Biden would say he was "working tirelessly" to get the hostages returned.  He was lying because 1) He didn't give a fuck about the hostages because Netanyahu didn't (and doesn't) give a fuck about the hostages.  and, also 2) Because he was VERY tired and he gave in to his weariness by taking multiple naps and sleeping 10 or 11 hours a night and all the other things that a dying, senile man does.

But when he was AWAKE he did (to the degree that he was able) try to do all of the racist, imperialist, scum-bag/shit-for-brains stuff that he'd dedicated his life to.  Like destroying Social Security, exploding the prison population (especially with Blacks and Latinos), and approving wars and illegal sanctions thereby killing millions around the planet.

I guess I finally understand where Hitler's fans come from.  The same sort of filth who would feel a twinge upon hearing of Biden's cancer diagnoses.  "Except for the mass murders of entire peoples of innocent men, women and children, he was a good guy!"

Not the Brilliant Argument They Think It Is

 

I'm in a weird mood this morning so I looked at Driftglass and then Lawyers, Guns & Money.  

"Evil and Stupid" Driftglass refers to those "centrists" and "moderates" who advocate for a third political party between the extremists of the left and the right as "grifters."  As opposed to his preferred Democratic Party USA, comprised of  vermin who sell-out the lives of their countrymen to oligarchic parasites (most notably private health insurance, Wall Street and the military-industrial-coplex) and who traumatize and slaughter millions around the world, and earn a pretty penny for it.  (Clinton's net worth:  $120 million.  Obama's net worth: $70 million.)

But don't call THEM "grifters"!

But the L, G & M post is about people (like the stupid Jake Tapper) talking about Joe Biden's infirmity.

I've noticed a few Democratic Party cult sites working this meme recently; "Why are people talking about Joe Biden when the fascist threat of Donald Trump is standing right before us?????"

It's astonishing how fucking stupid these assholes are.  Let me try to explain it to them.

You see, a couple of books have come out about the last presidential election.  (One of them by Jake Tapper.)  The one that Donald Trump actually won.  They've come out NOW because now is most likely the best time for such books to come out.  Timely.  Recent history.  So, whatever one thinks of Jake Tapper, it's understandable that he would want to talk about the book he's trying to sell.

And, if you'll remember, the Democrats, seeing the FASCIST threat of Donald Trump, in their infinite wisdom decided to put Joe Biden up against him as the incumbent rival.  They did that even though they'd had been deliberately hiding Joe Biden from everyone due to his advancing senile dementia.  They'd been doing that for pretty much his entire presidency.

So, they had FOUR FUCKING YEARS to anticipate the fascist threat of Donald Trump and they decided that Biden was going to be their (and everyone else opposed to Trump) man.

Well, okay, ... Biden probably wouldn't have been their first choice.  But if the Democratic Party of the United States of America's power-brokers had really pushed for someone else, the increasingly addled octogenarian Biden would've gotten VERY UPSET.  And, for four years I guess, the power-brokers inside the Democratic Party of the United States of America felt that if there was ANYTHING worse than fascist Donald Trump, it would be the ire of a befuddled, 80-something-year old narcissist being turned on them.

Here's some further levity:

BTW one thing that isn’t appreciated nearly enough is that the Democrats handled an absolutely horrible situation last July basically flawlessly under the terrible circumstances.

So, in other words, when their disastrous decision to go with the senile incumbent inevitably blew-up in their faces, they anointed the senile incumbent's unpopular, untalented, insincere, air-head VP to carry their banner.  And when she lost against the monstrosity of Trump due primarily to her own lack of appeal, including her disgusting adherence to the Biden policy of GENOCIDE, zombie-like Democratic Party hacks like the LG&M blog say that the whole thing was handled flawlessly.

[Much of that post is quoting someone else who decries the ignorance of US-Americans about Trump's perfidy.  And the LG&M writers blames "journalists" like Tapper, and right-wing propaganda outlets like "FOX News" for that.  Conveniently forgetting their own discrediting of themselves with the "Russiagate" conspiracy theory.  And their continued discrediting of themselves by continuing with the absurd denialism and covering-up of Biden's infirmities that they started in 2019 and are still at it as of today.]
