Yeah, there’s no chance that Canada can “fight the cause”. The only way to do so would be to declare war on Israel, and therefore the US, which would very quickly result in us no longer being able to even think about the symptoms we were previously trying to treat.
There’s absolutely zero fucking chance Canada gets involved on the side of Iran. Even without the fallout from the US, the Canadian public would be justifiably livid.
You might be suicidal, but the vast majority of the country isn’t. And even if the US wouldn’t just curb stomp us, I (and a lot of other Canadians ) would be furious with our government supporting any theocratic government. And yes, I do include the current Israeli government in that statement.
“No room for context or nuance allowed right! If the rule isn’t applied the exact same way even for oppressive regimes might as well not help anyone!” - you I guess
Being dead is a downside. Being taken over by the US is a downside. Wasting any and all global influence we may have had on a completely pointless flameout is a massive fucking downside.
If you want to share your ignorance loudly and proudly, then you’ll get corrected.
Canada is not doing anything to stop the systemic abuse by a fascist ethnostate, and then putting a bandaid solution of throwing money at victims who will keep dying with Canadian made weapons.
If you want to boiler plate it to “they’re not doing anything and then doing something”, then you’re full of it.
The by-the-books-written-by-imperialists non-imperial answer is a UN peacekeeping mission. Canada might provide the mission with troops, but they would be operating under a UN mandate, likely to enforce a two-state solution with hard-specified borders. All this would take is for the US, UK, and France to not veto a resolution to organize a peacekeeping mission.
The isolationist non-imperial answer is to stop funding Israel and see what happens.
The actual anti-imperial answer is to give land back to native people, replace capitalism with voluntary association, and decentralize military infrastructure, so people that live in Canada are resilient to invasion but their capacity to project force is limited to individual initiative with the support of a community.
Canada is already imperialistic in Palestine by cooperating with Israel and the US, which is its role in that imperialist project. Imperialism isn’t just “when big bad guy invades with troops” like in your Saturday morning Star Wars cartoons, it’s a system of power the functions to subordinate other groups of people to the benefit of a privileged metropole so that the resources on the land those people exist on can be extracted (as well as their labour). Or do you think it makes you sound like a pragmatic realist to pretend you’re too dumb to know that?
Canada literally hosts companies that are Israeli owned or contribute to Israels genocide campaign and the state invests in Israeli businesses, the fucking CPPIB increased its investment in Israeli businesses, which amounts to tens of billions of dollars; how fucking much of a performance does dedicating a fraction of that to “aid” seem to be to you now?
You aren’t a serious person, stop talking about serious topics.
No I’m saying they can fight the cause but they don’t.

Given our commitment to standing up for middle powers, it does make sense that we’d get involved in the war on the side of Iran/Lebanon.

Better than being on the US side.

I wasn’t the Canadian leader who said we need to unite middle powers to fight super powers when they get picked on.

We’re not helping our ally Cuba either.
Declare war, Expend more USA resources, further pulling it apart, be remembered as a nation who stood for justice, and with a valiant population.
0 downsides listed here.

Ok, we’ll just send troops to Israel? Or is that just more imperialism that people like you cry about?
Boycott Israel maybe

Literally already doing financial stuff
Not talking about symbolic sanctions against five people but actual sanctions against Israel as a whole.
Here, just to help you with some more info
Canada NOT putting sanctions on organizations that actually bankroll the settlers with YOUR taxes.

But go on and keep saying how Canada is doing all it can.
The conversation is thus

Edit also you responded to the same comment twice

So- I can agree it’s not enough. It’s not, “nothing”.
That’s useless - the settlers are sanctioned from Canada. These aren’t global sanctions like those the US puts on people.
Sanctions on the country or stopping armaments from getting to Israel and then into settler hands is more effective.
But no no, you’re more informed…you looked up “Canada Israel sanctions”.
