Not only did an Israeli border officer put their hands on a Canadian Liberal MP, Iqra Khalid, as has already been reported. But it turns out that, according to NDP Jenny Kwan, Iqra Khalid was shoved multiple times, by two separate Israeli border officials.
Israelis should not be welcome in any civilized country.
But they stand for so much... like real estate... and murder... and other fun things
Who hasn't murdered babies, and used dog rape to torture their enemies? That's just nazi locker room atrocities. Boys will be boys. Etc.
I think the bigger question mark from me, is just.... why are our taxes sending MP delegations of like 30 MPs + staff off to Israel?
Feels like a waste of money to me. We can see with relative certainty the conditions there, based on reports from EU sources and the UN. At this point, they're not tending to 'pretend' its all good. Like these aren't even majority-party MPs, but minority parties with very little say in the house, who represent ridings that have almost nothing tying them to Israel. Businesses/the economy is sputtering back at home guys, maybe spend some more of your focus there.
The trip was sponsored by a non-profit. Either way though, I'm fine with someone I voted for to represent me heading over there. It's not like the government as a whole is doing anything meaningful. Their trip is at least an effort at a humanitarian connection.
But to what end? They have no interest in actual outcomes, unless the outcome is the eradication of all that stands in the way of land
I don't believe that to be true of the MPs that made this trip. It's certainly not true of all of them.
Where is John Wick with diplomatic immunity when you need him?
Canada seriously needs diplomats who know significant levels of mixed martial arts and other forms of defence. And then we need to attach them to groups like this.
Officers like that desperately need to be made to eat their truncheons. Preferably sideways.
