Well, he did it. The airhead, former pretty-boy prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, has decided that slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent human beings with bombs and rockets, cutting-off all their access to food, drinking water and medical care, and saying that you are engaging in collective punishment and that you want them all to move somewhere else, doesn't constitute "genocide."
It is not beyond the realm of possibility that stupid Justin has managed to cram his tiny brain with enough stupid, incoherent rationalizations and delusions that he has genuinely confused his stupid self into actually believing the swill he's saying. But such rank stupidity is itself an indictment. An indictment as damning as if his aiding and abetting genocide is the product of cowardice, self-interest, or racism.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government's support for the International Court of Justice as a key institution of international law does not mean it backs the premise of the genocide claim brought by South Africa against Israel.
...
"Canada has long been a tremendous supporter of the international rules-based order and processes and structures that have been put in place over the past decades to be able to actually ensure that international law is respected and enforced," Trudeau told a press conference Friday in Guelph, Ont.
"And the ICJ, International Court of Justice, is a key part of that. Our wholehearted support of the ICJ and its processes does not mean we support the premise of the case brought forward by South Africa."
In a statement released Friday afternoon, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly echoed Trudeau's remarks and said Canada will watch the case before the ICJ very closely.
"Under the UN's 1948 Genocide Convention, the crime of genocide requires the intention to destroy or partly destroy a group because of their nationality, ethnicity, race or religion. Meeting this high threshold requires compelling evidence," said Joly.
"We must ensure that the procedural steps in this case are not used to foster antisemitism and targeting of Jewish neighbourhoods, businesses and individuals. At the same time, we will continue to stand against Islamophobia and anti-Arab sentiment."
In the statement, Joly went on to say that Canada remains deeply concerned about the scale of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and supports urgent international efforts to secure a sustainable ceasefire.
"This cannot be one-sided. Hamas must release all hostages, stop using Palestinian civilians as human shields and lay down its arms," she said.
Except for stupid North American and European "progressives" (like "Cathie from Canada" some writers at "CounterPunch" and "Jacobin") the vast majority of human beings on the planet know what the Israelis and the USA is doing. That is why, on this topic, imperialist propagandists haven't been yammering about how "world opinion" is on Israel's side. This is worse than the situation with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On that subject, the world's governments are inherently opposed to the idea of one sovereign state being invaded by another, but on the other hand, they are well aware of the USA's many provocations, of Russia's multiple attempts to avoid a war, of the stupidity and the recklessness of the USA's puppet nazi government in Ukraine, and of the USA's own serial invasions and meddlings around the world in past decades. The majority of the world has condemned the invasion itself but disregarded the Biden administration's hypocritical shrieking about the need to punish the Russian aggressor. On Israel's genocide in Gaza there is no such conflict. Israel is an illegal occuping power; an apartheid state; and it has been engaged in illegal ethnic cleansing for decades and it is currently committing an active genocide in Gaza for which there is no defence.
Meanwhile, the CBC considers to disgrace itself by putting out this dreck:
Hamas carried out an attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing an estimated 1,200 Israelis and taking more than 200 people hostage. Israel declared war on Hamas in response, unleashing months of heavy air bombardments and a full-scale invasion of Gaza. The Hamas-run health authority says more than 23,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 58,000 Palestinians have been injured in Gaza since the start of the war.
As I said just recently, any "journalist" who writes something like that should find another profession. The CBC itself has reported elsewhere that over 2,000 Palestinians are being held completely without charges in Israeli prisons with thousands more being held in military detention to be tried before military courts with garbage standards of testimony and evidence, where there is a 99% conviction rate and where psychological and physical torture are routine. Therefore, anyone but a shit-head would understand why Hamas would want to take hostages to attempt an exchange.
Secondly, it is no longer any question but that hundreds of the Israelis killed during that attack were killed by the Israeli military operating under their so-called "Hannibal Directive." The IDF provided a case-study of its membership's insanity and cowardice when, on December 15th, they shot and killed three unarmed, shirtless (therefore no suicide vests) young males waving a white flag who were trying to surrender. Apparently the racist, cowardly monsters in the IDF didn't know that the men were escaped Israeli hostages. Apparently these sickening, racist, cowardly monsters thought they were Palestinian civilians who it is permissible for them to murder.
THAT is the Israeli Defence Forces. THAT is the nature of the entity oppressing the Palestinians. But the nauseating Justin Trudeau, and the nauseating CBC, and the nauseating Pierre Poilievre are all racist, shit-for-brains cowards and war criminal scum. And so they support them.
Supporting genocide is about as bad as it gets. There's really nothing worse that a society can do. There is no further depth for it to sink to. I remember watching the harpercons getting away with torture in Afghanistan. Now it's the Trudeau Liberals (and pretty much every other mainstream politician) making excuses and rationalizations for Israel's mass-murder of tens of thousands of Palestinians through bombings and perhaps what might turn out to be a million more via starvation and disease.
Talking about "uniting Canadians" when some of them oppose genocide while others are racist, deluded, hypocritical, self-pitying, whining scumbags is stupid. Do these zionist nazis not remember that their soul-mate Adolph Hitler likewise believed that Germany was "under attack" by the "Jewish menace"? That he had his own witless, deluded, racist persecution complex? These fucking Israeli zionists and their friends abroad would be quite well-suited to be skipping hand-in-hand with Hitler through fields of daisies. That's how disgusting, stupid and evil they are.
