This btw is the Israel of October 6th 2023
1. I love and will defend the state of Israel always.
2. Because I love the state of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu must go. He must lose in the October Israeli elections.
3. But no matter who the prime minister is, the Israel of Oct 6th is rightly never coming back. Ever. The rest of the world had better understand that.

If something similar to Israel's genocide of Gaza happened in America, scaled up to our population, it would have been the equivalent of 12,641,083 American citizens murdered โ more than the combined populations of WY, VT, DC, AK, ND, SD, DE, RI, MT, ME, NH, and HI.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:
If something similar to October 7 had happened in America, scaled up to our population, it would have been the equivalent of 40,000 American citizens being murdered in a single day.
It would have also meant 10,000 people being taken hostage, starved, raped, beaten, abused, and kept in the dark in tunnels for up to two years.
I couldnโt agree more. Carney demonstrates true leadership: vision over coercion, ambition over intimidation, and friendship over bullying. He builds alliances through trust and respectโnot threats and fear.
Hey asshole, @huckabeenews if you scale what Israel did to Gaza. More than 73k dead would equal roughly 12 million Americans killed. Oct 7 was an atrocityโbut it was never a blank cheque for mass slaughter, collective punishment and destruction of an entire civilian population.

He's made this point over and over and over...
But using this logic, every time a Pope dies it's a literal GENOCIDE for Vatican City ๐

Mark Carney, "In the heart of Germany, above Weimar, there is a wooded ridge called Ettusberg. And for decades, Goethe walked, thought, and wrote there. An oak on that ridge came to bear his name, a living monument to the highest ideals of European culture"
"As the 20th century turned dark, that same oak became trapped behind the barbed wire of Buchenwald. A silent witness to humanity's deepest moral failure. Goethe understood that ideals must be fought for, that values do not defend themselves."
"Indeed, at the end of Faust, the old man's last vision is of a free people on free ground. Nรถdvg, Vรคrdjรคn, Siegfreiheit. Wie das Leben, de taklik si eroban mus"
"Freedom and life must be earned every single day"
"Every day"
"Every day, not once in 1945 or 1956 or 1989. Every day, including this one."
My take: 1945, 1956 and 1989 are not distant history lessons: they mark Europeโs liberation from fascism, Hungaryโs uprising against Soviet rule, and the fall of the Iron Curtain. Carneyโs point is that freedom is never something Europe simply achieved and banked forever - it is a choice, a responsibility and, when necessary, a struggle renewed by every generation.
Forty thousand 2,000-pound bombs for a captive civilian population with nowhere to flee. America isnโt defending Israelโitโs financing genocide and enabling war crimes.
The Trump administration is planning to send Israel forty thousand 2,000 pound bombs, funded with $2.8 billion from U.S. taxpayers.
"Though described as a sale, the transaction is financed through a mechanism known as Foreign Military Financing, in which the United States provides the money that Israel uses to buy the weapons."

Disgusting hypocrisy: Trump whines about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize while sending billions in weapons and 2,000-pound bombs to fuel Israelโs genocide in Gaza. He doesnโt want peaceโhe wants destruction
The Trump administration is preparing a multibillion-dollar sale of 40,000 bombs that weigh 2,000 pounds each, including 20,000 MK-84s, one official said.
An MK-84 explosion can rip through metal and concrete, and can create large craters in the earth. wapo.st/4Ae8VTH
Trump wants unlimited power, endless praise and zero responsibility. Every success is his; every failure is someone elseโs. He isnโt a strongmanโheโs a spineless fraud.
Exactly. How can the words โFree Palestineโ be considered more harmful or offensive than 100,000 Palestinians being slaughtered? If the slogan bothers you more than the killing, your priorities are fucked.

Strip filmmakers of citizenship for challenging the state? Thatโs fucking authoritarianism. Citizenship isnโt a reward for obedience.
If a documentary is wrong, rebut it. Threatening the filmmakersโ citizenship is cowardly as fuck.
๐ฎ๐ฑ Israelโs Culture Minister Miki Zohar says filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor should be stripped of their citizenship over โNAZA,โ accusing them of โbetraying the state.โ
Their film, which accuses Israel of deliberately killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza, just won the special jury prize in Venice after a 24.5-minute standing ovation.
One film, with two verdicts.
In Venice, an award. At home, the question whether its creators should still be Israelis.

The IDF is shitting its pants over a film. If your defence is solid, stop bitching about the filmmakers and answer the allegations.
Values-based armyโ? Then show some fucking accountability. Face the witnesses. Answer the allegations. Let the world watch.
๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ธ๐ฌ๐ง The IDF just went to war with a film that isn't even out yet...
NAZA is a British film written and directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor.
It follows the killing of Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces during the Gaza war, through 24 interviews with anonymous military and intelligence insiders.
Spokesman Defrin says the promo for the film targets Israeli soldiers with harsh claims that are false, distorted, and disconnected from the ground.
He calls the army a "values-based" force bound by international law, and invites the filmmakers to show the full cut so the IDF can answer, point-by-point.
Until then, he says, the debate is running on slander...

While Trump is busy renaming lakes, posting memes and throwing tantrums, Canada builds, attracts global capital and forges stronger alliances. Relentlessly moving forward. ๐จ๐ฆ
When a โfriendโ bullies you, disrespects you and lies to your face, it tells you a lot...
Canada deserves partners who treat us with respect. Healthy relationships start with mutual TRUST โ not threats and tantrums.
Time to move on to healthier relationships โฆ
Canada spent decades building one of the closest trading relationships on Earth with the United States.
Trump decided that was leverage to threaten us with.
So Canada started looking harder at Europe and the rest of the world.
Now MAGA is furious about that too.
You donโt get to scream โAmerica Firstโ and then throw a tantrum when Canada says โCanada First.โ
Apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing
New maps from policy expert Frank Lowenstein show Israel now controls 92% of the West Bank and Gaza, leaving Palestinians just 8%. Since 2023, Israel has approved 104 new settlements, more than triple the total approved during all 8 years of the Obama administration.
Over 500,000 settlers now live on land promised to a Palestinian state since 1947. The two-state solution is not stalled. It is over.
Trump has turned the into an unreliable, bullying partner. Time to build stronger ties with Europe and partners who understand respect. Weโre building a future, not bending a knee. Let the danse begin.
