Nigerian journalist misleads on Trump’s ability to travel internationally

Some countries have laws that refuse entry to convicted felons. They can still allow entry to a felon with a valid reason. Canada, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom have already invited Trump.

Canada like many other countries lied about it.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/the-controversy-over-canadas-rules-on-military-exports-to-israel-explained/

It’s much more complicated than you make it out to be, in part because unlike sanctioned countries like North Korea etc Israel is in other senses a regular trade partner.

Canadian serving under the IDF

Under a hundred, presumably mostly all dual citizens in another sovereign nation hardly constitutes Canadian government policy.

Yes, I’d like the government to do more.

But, that is different from the government not following international law.

Nice excuses like usual . I don’t care how complicated it is. Israel is committing serious human right abuses almost every day against Palestinians similar to North Korea. I don’t want such a terrible trade partner for Canada

Under a hundred, presumably mostly all dual citizens in another sovereign nation hardly constitutes Canadian government policy.

Even if it was one. Canada is not respecting it’s own laws yet you still makes dumb excuses about it .

But, that is different from the government not following international law.

Lying about stopping selling arms to Israel, not imposing a single sanction on Israel for genocide and settler colonialism, not condemning Israeli abuses of the Canadian activists of the flotilla show the selective care of human rights abuses.

If Canada don’t want to care about it maybe it should simply drop sanctions on all the countries they have sanctions on that is not a direct and imminent threat to Canadian security itself

Yes, I’d like the government to do more. With all the excuses you spew I don’t think I can believe you on that

Lying about stopping selling arms to Israel, not imposing a single sanction on Israel for genocide and settler colonialism, not condemning Israeli abuses of the Canadian activists of the flotilla show the selective care of human rights abuses.

We seem to be talking about different things. I am pointing out that Canada is meeting its legal obligations. You are angry Canada isn’t doing more.

These are fundamentally different conversations.

Providing weapons from a genocidal state is meeting it’s legal obligation? Having a law prohibiting Canadian to serve under a foreign state and not applying it is not a breach of it’s legal obligation? You are not serious at all

Yeah your arguments was so weak that it is both frustrating and laughable at the same time. Frustrating because Palestinian lives are so cheap for western countries and Arab countries that collaborate with Israel and you. Funny because they are all terrible excuses

Wanting the government to do more does not make its actions illegal.

Read the article for an explanation on the arms sales.

I read the article. It doesn’t deny that Canada is still selling weapons to Israel . I don’t care how difficult or complex it is, selling weapons to genocidal state is being complicit about the most severe war crime ever. Canadians serving the idf when it is prohibited is also a breach of international laws and Canadian law. How hard is for you to understand such a simple logic?

Hell, Canada did even ignored the selling of lands in the occupied west bank in Synagogues. Canada claim to oppose settlements while allowing that.

I have no idea what you are trying to say, I’m guessing you’re fairly drunk.

Goodnight.

Fuck international law it’s the worst thing to happen to the world

Like in what way? Were you “just saying” or something else like that (eg: talking out emotions without the prerequisite logic to back it up and give it any actual meaning) cause thats for sure what it sounded like

the lowest bar of effort.

This feels a bit disingenuous.

We’re in the middle of trade negotiations that affect a huge swathe of jobs etc with an aggressively pro Israel leader. Considering donald’s capriciousness and willingness to punish allies for ideological disagreement, this actually feels like a bit of a ballsy statement.

If I were on the US relations file, I’d be praying no one related this to trump etc.

In today’s day and age, upholding the law presents itself as some remarkable competence.

Well don’t say it. Now he won’t go.
