it is a shame that Israel/Palestine has become such a sharply polarizing and divisive issue that we can almost automatically assume that anyone questioning anyone else on the topic is not doing so in good faith and is pushing their own agenda

It is a shame that anybody who oppose settler colonialism, genocide and palestinians rights is treated as a possible security risk.

Canada has decade of ignoring israeli human right abuses and can't even say the words occupation and colonization. They let orgs selling occupied lands in synaguoges, they never blocked canadians from joining the idf which is generally prohibited by canadian own laws etc

Hien? Not sure where this comes from.

This Foreign Enlistment Act only applies if Canada is at war with a nation. https://lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/F-28/FullText.html

While no isrealis specifically, I know a handful of dual citizens that have either served their conscription requirements to meet citizenship requirements, or joined the Canadian forces to get their national conscription checked off in lieu.

I also know one person who volunteered with the Ukrainian foreign legion. Their biggest hurdle was the days in Canada requirements surrounding healthcare access.
