Did we all just forget that Israel's attack on Iran last week also damaged Canada's embassy

That Israel has come closer to attacking 'Canadian soil' than any other country recently?

Why is Iran (even if you oppose their attack) seen as the aggressor?

cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Two authoritarian governments are putting millions of people in harm’s way. Further escalation only serves these warmongering, corrupt politicians' interests.

We urge Israel, Iran, and all parties to de-escalate now before this escalates into a broader regional war.

Not a word from Canada about the event that triggered this retaliation — Israel’s illegal airstrike against the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which also damaged the Canadian embassy. Instead of pushing for de-escalation, Canada is giving unconditional support to a rogue state.

This applies to Canada too.

Everyone who has ever said that Israel has a right to defend itself will, I'm sure, understand now that Iran has a right to defend itself after Israel bombed their embassy in Syria on April 1st.

With the launch of Iranian drones towards Israel, we are in an extraordinarily dangerous moment that requires immediate de-escalation. Canada's failure to condemn Israel's illegal and provocative attack on Iran's consulate has allowed Netanyahu to drag the region into war.

In the context of breaking info released this week about where DND plans to build military facilities for remote piloting their new fleet of killer drones, here's a 🧵 explaining why their drone plans are horrifying, and how you can take action to demand #NoArmedDrones right now.

Won’t be secret for long 😉

You can’t make this stuff up.

Thank God Canada's new, top secret base for operating it's fleet of lethal, remote controlled flying machines will have Green Building Certification! Great reporting from David Pugliese ottawacitizen.com/news/national/…

Lady Chainsaw was a major part of the Wet’suwet’en resistance. She is part of our story. She was dedicated to the yintah and Wedzin Kwa and the matriarchs who held the front lines.

“When we find out there are weapons and parts traveling on highways or being made practically in our backyards…These are points of intervention. Direct actions to interrupt the flow of weapons to Israel have been happening en-masse from coast to coast” —WBW organizer Rachel Small

Basic transparency about the Canada-Israel arms trade is the absolute minimum we should all be demanding of the Canadian government right now. Thank you to Heather McPherson for doggedly pursuing this and holding Minister Joly to the promises she has made over the last few months.

Today, Canada's Hill Times prominently displays this flashy video advertisement from U.S. military contractor, Lockheed Martin.

The ad appears on the home page of the Hill Times website, and appears again when you click on an article in today's paper.

Israel isn’t the only reactionary regime in the Middle East to welcome Canadian weapons.

And in the meanwhile guess we’ll just have to keep showing up at their office…
