#but Canada is very firm about backing Israel in the most wishy-washy noncommittal please-don't-get-mad-at-us way possible

[taffywabbit]

this really shouldn't surprise me at this point but GOD the canadian government is such a bunch of fucking spineless losers. the response to the most recent petition just came back and literally nothing has changed since 3 months ago

they couldn't even extend the barest minimum amount of sympathy to victims of an ongoing genocide without first prefacing it with a whole big paragraph about how Hamas are evil murderous terrorists who are unfit to govern and how the Israelis are totally justified in attacking them. the hypocrisy in their accusations is inexplicable after everything we've seen, especially after everything the IOF have proudly bragged about and posted evidence of to social media. I swear it's like there's some alternate-reality version of all these events that's only visible to politicians and they're basing all their decisions on THAT instead, because I cannot imagine releasing such a cold and bafflingly inaccurate statement like this AFTER the ICJ ruling was already finished. genuinely how can anyone be this dense over and over and still be seen as capable leadership. this country is such a joke
