Kick their ambassador out and bring home ours.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Formally summoning the ambassador is the first step in that process.

Earlier this week, Carney joined British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron in threatening to impose sanctions on Israel in response to its "denial of essential humanitarian assistance" in Gaza.

The Western leaders' letter followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying his country would control Gaza despite mounting international pressure to lift a blockade on aid supplies that left the enclave on the brink of famine.

Netanyahu condemned the joint statement in a social media post and called it "a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7," referring to Hamas's attack against Israel in 2023 which ignited the war in Gaza

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also took aim at Carney's joint statement.

"The Hamas terrorists have just thanked Mark Carney for his recent statement on Israel," he posted online Tuesday.

The IDF said it "regrets the inconvenience caused."

I betcha they are also regretful of the inconvenience caused by killing World Kitchen Aid workers and destroying a Canadian-made water well. The inconvenience of it.

Israeli troops fire ‘warning shots’ at 25 diplomats visiting occupied West Bank: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/21/israeli-troops-fire-warning-shots-25-diplomats-visiting-occupied-west-bank

Shots force delegation representing 31 countries, including Italy, Canada, Egypt and UK, to run for cover

The cognitive dissonance here in the US is intense, but the damn has broke, the only way this would have worked out was if the silencing of voices was endlessly exhaustive and complete in the US but also among its critical allies (not that it means shit but personally I have always considered Canada to be a critical ally, our economies and history are, were? deeply intertwined for one) , even tiny "meaningless" nerdy Fediverse communities evading enforced destruction of empathy in a culture pose a beautifully existential threat to the continuation of the machines and more importantly narratives of senseless, indiscriminate violence.

This is one of those communities.

Isn't that a very clear declaration of war?

Soldiers shooting at civilian representatives of other countries is both war crime and a war.

Time for Canada to request a clear explanation and draft a notice about trade and sanctions.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, they attacked a warship owned by the world's greatest superpower and then only after being caught they gave a laughable explanation causing the superpower to say "We accept your apology but not your explanation" with no further action taken. How Israel continues to get away with it is a question for the ages.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

No, it's very definitely not a declaration of war to shoot near or at diplomats.

There is no place in war for this sort of intimidation. What you're referring to is a war crime.

It is not an act of war.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

Israel had a long history of attacking foreign diplomats.

In 1948 they assassinated a UN mediator from Sweden

Since the very beginning, up until today, they saw no issue with murdering international peace keepers who might be sympathetic to the people who owned the land that they wanted to steal.

Evict Zionist scum from East Palestine.

Israel hasn't existed in thousands of years. Time for the world to get over it.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Why not evict them from all of Palestine? From the river to the sea?

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

That tracks.
