Can we please stop with the "Israel has a right to exist"?
Let's put aside for a moment that countries are legal fictions and no country has a "right to exist" because rights are for PEOPLE. Right now, Israel exists. It exists so much that right now it exists in Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran.
Here is my conversation with Avi Lewis about why he wants to lead the NDP, and why he thinks you should vote for him.

sooo "Zoom Voice Communications, Inc." neat. So the cops will be able to see deets on who attended your teach-in and you won't ever know about it, then they can get a court order to get even more information on attendees. fun!
Absolutely horrific.
Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate.
C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation.
A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.
The Canadian embassy in Ecuador must recognize the widescale criminalization of rights defenders at the hands of Canadian mining in Ecuador and its responsibility to promote the protection of rights defenders. No FTA with investor protections over rights protection! @miningwatch.bsky.social
The Iranian Red Crescent Society says nearly 20,000 civilian buildings affected by US Israel attacks, along with 77 healthcare facilities.

Today, Liberals, Conservatives, & the Bloc voted to kill #C233. 🚫⚖️
They chose to keep a massive loophole open that exempts 50% of Canada’s arms exports from human rights oversight. The Carney Liberals talk about values, but their actions say otherwise. #cdnpoli #HumanRights
Ha. Yes, that tracks.
Also kinda curious as the US spends $1 Trillion a year on the military, which comprises nearly 40% of global military spending and more the the next 10 countries combined.
Iran needs to chart its own path toward a free, democratic society. Decapitation warfare and crimes of aggression by radicals in the West will only bring more chaos to the Middle East, says Judi Rever.
Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.
Iranians are not interested in zero-sum games, or in embracing Western values in a unipolar world. The West has no business imposing its political or economic systems on other countries.
Russia switched to daylight time in 2012 and then changed to standard time in 2014 due to increased car accidents in the morning, increased stress and health problems due to morning darkness, and public demand to change.

Monday is going to be a terrible day for the US & European "markets" and hence these economies.
The people of the West have been largely silent as Iran and Lebanon are attacked by the US & Israel.
The impact of this imperialist insanity is going to hit all in some way. Will we still just shrug?
idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet
The US-Israeli war on Iran is a regional and global disaster. It represents the exportation of the murderous Gaza playbook to a nation of more than 90 million people. In response, Canada has surrendered principle to imperial loyalty, writes Owen Schalk.
So Ukraine has too many weapons they can give some away?
The US striking an Iranian desalination plant on Qeshm Island could mark a disastrous precedent. The Gulf is highly reliant on desalination to meet its water needs. If Iran retaliates against plants in the region, water shortages could become catastrophic.
Exploiting farmers and workers is A-Okay though. Don't stop doing that.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney refers to the US navy sinking a defenceless Iranian ship and refusing to rescue the survivors as an "incident." He does not name the United States as the perpetrator of the "incident" which occurred in international waters.
Ghana has accused Israel of committing a war crime by bombing Ghanaian UN troops, injuring three of them.

"The context of Iran and how leftists position themselves has been the source of much movement debate. Weaving our Worlds has compiled a list of resources and diverse left perspectives from and on Iran."

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.
I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!
a note: the Third Reich actually did do this, *but* they started doing it after the USAAF attacked German and Italian submarines attempting to rescue the survivors of RMS Laconia
Look up the Laconia incident
The same police unit that arrested Wet'suwet'en land defenders and surveilled Fairy Creek demonstrators was monitoring the Palestine solidarity movement on BC campuses

To paraphrase:
"We are not currently participating in our imperial allies' attacks on Iran, but if their poorly planned invasion goes awry (for them) we are prepared to help them ensure that their imperial objectives are met."
Orientalism is a powerful drug.

This is also an act of war that the US is just casually doing with impunity (again).
The US doesn't play chess.
