    And then what?

    Let’s say everyone in the world except the US recognizes the Palestinian state. Would that change literally anything at all?

    Meanwhile, Canada continues to send weapons to Israel.

      For the children dying of starvation and bombs right now? Not much of a difference.

      For recognition that their suffering is unjust? Huge difference.

      If anyone is sarcastic about Canada, France or any other nations about this issue and criticizing them about the lack of support , I sure hope as fuck that you put your money and your votes where your mouth is wherever you are located.

      Ffs, Palestinians, including farmers, inventors, and just general lovely folk have not had anywhere to turn for ages. Now there will be a generation of serious nourishment deprivation, where said they survive they will likely be diminished and devalued because of Israel imposing starvation and trauma upon them.

      Any support now is critical, and empty words of support are unfortunately more than the sheer genocide of both bodies and minds that is happening now.

        Empty words of support work to demobilize the masses. Canadians see this and think things are going to be okay.

        People need to understand that their government is still killing Palestinians.

          I 100% agree with you. We can say “yay good job government” bit then we need to keep our eyes on them, our voices loud, and make sure those words are followed by actions.

          Keep making noise for Gaza, this fight is not over. I wont forget the government’s complicity in all of this, but they can still make the better choice now.
