Canada closer to recognizing Palestinian statehood, envoy says
-
The Palestinian ambassador to Canada says she feels Ottawa is on the brink of officially recognizing statehood for her people, as she also takes note of tougher language from Canada on Israel’s actions in Gaza.
At this point, it should be clear that mirroring the US’s stance won’t get Canada any benefits anymore. So we should just drop the appeasement and speak for world order instead of for genocide.

Yes but also not really. The two state solution is a band aid at best, and a stalling tactic at worst. Without a full return to at the very least pre 1967 borders, there’s no way this is going to be any sort of morally justifiable. You truly think Israel is gonna get those settlers out? Ain’t gonna happen. Let alone the right of return of Palestinian refugees or reparations.
Probably not.

Being officially recognized as a state would grant Palestine numerous protections and rights that it currently does not have as an Observer state in the UN.
I was thinking along the same lines but then I thought about other neighbouring countries like Lebanon. Being recognized states didn’t stop Israel from doing whay they did to them. Not saying there’s no difference, I’m just not sure what the practical difference is. I’m probably ignorant.

About damn time. Personally I’d like to see the UN plan from 1947 put into place, but I doubt that will ever happen. Also the UN Security Council must not have control over Jerusalem. Period. Full stop. Needs to be the General Assembly or another body.

This would be great if they did it. However, Canada is still providing weapons or vital weapons parts that are being funneled to Israel through US trade. We are still providing weapons to Israel and just taking their word for it that they aren’t being used for murder. Words mean nothing if we continue to provide the means for genocide.

Is as Europe and the US, despite their supposed protestations.
But Israel are close to Christianity, so they are the good guys, as per human logic for thousands of years.
