Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada pledges $100M for Palestinians facing settler violence, humanitarian crisis
5·2 days agoMoney is great, but sanctions to prevent genocide is better, saves money, and penalizes the apartheid ethnostate.

World News@lemmy.world•Pro-Palestine activists sentenced as terrorists over damage at Israeli arms factory in UKEnglish
20·2 days agoAh, UK courts deciding to label people as terrorists even when that wasn’t the initial charge, and without a jury present (i.e. after they’ve already decided on criminal charges).

History Memes@piefed.social•The last time anyone changed their mind when confronted with evidenceEnglish
121·2 days agoI can only speak about Kennan - basically his reports and telegrams from his time in Moscow convinced the US government that the USSR was expansionist and a danger to the US.
His reports were the primary driving force that led the US to have a negative attitude towards the USSR and that they needed to contain it. That basically kicked off the cold war and we continue to feel the effects of until today.
He then eventually changed his mind and became very vocal against US foreign policy towards the USSR (basically the same policies that he recommended).
Edited: a word

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada Post announces nearly 500K addresses to lose home delivery
33·2 days agoWow, there it is…the dumbest comment I’ve read today.
Perfectly opinionated, shares a problem that’s easily solvable but blames it on Canada Post, and so moronically wrong.
🏆 Here’s your award, friend.

New Democratic Party 🍁 Nouveau Parti Démocratique@lemmy.ca•Keeping Money in Your Pocket | The Alberta Affordability Agenda
4·2 days agoI remember reading in the NDP Subreddit, by someone that tried, that even organizing at a local level and trying to do a ground up change within the provincial party is near impossible because of current incumbents or loyalists just tightening ranks to hold onto their position.

3·2 days agoGermany and Czech are some of the biggest arms suppliers and buyers to/from Israel
What is incredibly stupid is that, sure, the topic is brought up at the EU council, but then why don’t the individual states also apply sanctions?

Canada@lemmy.ca•UK, Australia and Canada launch $4 million fund for Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, advance two-state solution
1·2 days agoGlad that lifeline has been restored, but there is no two state with settlements and the settlements are purpose-built to not allow two states.
This funding just seems to be about changing attitudes, and I wonder whose attitude they’ll work on changing - the oppressed or the oppressor.

Canada@lemmy.ca•UK, Australia and Canada launch $4 million fund for Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, advance two-state solution
7·3 days agoDidn’t they pull funding from UNRWA after Israel did a massive smear campaign against it? UNRWA was literally the lifeline for Gaza.
The best way to encourage a 2 state solution is by sanctioning Israel for the genocide they’re perpetrating and the apartheid they’re enacting against Palestinians in Israel.
Not to mention that Israel’s settlements plan is literally to subvert the chances of a 2 state solutions. So good luck with “educational lessons” to bridge the gap of distrust.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland publishing book about Canada-U.S. relations
5·3 days agoThe person who kept on saying Canada needs closer ties to Israel while they were ethnically cleansing and killing medics in 2019?
She is very much the center to right liberal that we should not be listening to and she’s definitely not the one to listen to just because she was in a few discussions regarding the last USMCA deal that she quit from.
I don’t care much for money-grab books like the one she wrote praising her Nazi collaborator grandfather.

World News@lemmy.world•In Gaza, UN inquiry reports Hamas abuses against PalestiniansEnglish
4·3 days agoHere is the full report and definitely worth the read because the article cherrypicks what to report on
https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/coiopt/2606092E.pdf
What the article from Le Monde doesn’t mention is that the report is about both Israeli (state and settler) violence and crimes, Hamas and affiliates harm to civilians, and reinforces that Israel has perpetrated genocide.
Another thing that Le Monde mentions in the article while completely excluding Israeli crimes is that the refer to Israel for more info on Hamas.
The International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel gave a detailed account of violence perpetrated over the past two years by Hamas against Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•It's possible that the heat on Proton is a smear campaign.
111·3 days agoSmear campaign or hyperbolic criticism? It’s the age of outrage after all. But I also think Proton should be doing way better in general and are not above criticism.

“Uh…excuse me…Mr Hitler! Could you please explain what you meant by “the final solution”? We see that people are being shipped off on trains never to be seen, can you please expand more on that? We need your side of the story.”

World News@lemmy.world•[Opinion] Canada has its eyes wide shut in approach to strengthening China tiesEnglish
7·4 days agoThe amount of opinion pieces and fear mongering on Chinese EV cars stealing data I’ve seen - doesn’t look like eyes shut, but actually a lot more sinophobia and more scrutiny than I’ve seen applied to anything else.
US funding separatists in Alberta - opinion piece saying we need stronger ties with the US
Israel spyware known to track car systems and their phone hacking software used by RCMP - MPs drafting documents to diminish EV (specifically) data collection
The US abusing it’s extradition treaty to imprison Huawei CFO - opinion piece about how we need to watch out for Chinese influence and their international policing
And I’m not saying that these protections aren’t important, just that now it’s a big issue and harms our sovereignty all of a sudden.
I wonder who gains the most when we put up these barriers but to only one country instead of all others…

13·4 days agoIf we’ve been paying attention, then the US is a vassal state of Israel and likes to support authoritarians globally (like Russia).
