Canada should immediately issue stringent sanctions against not only violent settlers in the #WestBank but the Israeli Ministers who have been calling for this violence & fueling these pogroms with compete impunity. It should also call on the ICC to investigate these atrocities.

Canada joins its partners in expressing concern about the death penalty law passed by the Israeli Knesset that, in practice, systematically targets Palestinians. This discriminatory law adds to a growing list of actions which enables illegal settler violence while dehumanizing

Every damned day. Do not look away. Do not grow numb. This is terror. This is mass murder by Russia in Ukraine. Every day. Europe could close the skies and give Ukraine the weapons it needs to defend itself and every day chooses not to.

While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon. 1,461 have been killed. 4,430 have been injured. 1.2 million have been displaced. Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon. Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.

Good that they included that ceasefire should also apply to Lebanon. " We call upon all sides to implement the ceasefire, including in Lebanon." But will Israel listen? And if not, what then?

There is no justification for the scale of bombing in Lebanon. None whatsoever. It’s is barbaric, inhumane and a violation of international law.

This is a very good Canadian statement, especially for including the last line about respecting #Lebanon's territorial integrity. Now let's see what can be done to back the words up while Israel continues to occupy Lebanese territory. Anita Anand Foreign Policy CAN

Instead of relying on pressure to change Tehran’s behavior, Washington should offer positive, credible incentives, argue Federica Mogherini and Sahil V. Shah. “Diplomacy is the only viable way to ensure that Iran’s nuclear energy program is peaceful.” foreignaffairs.com/iran/how-end-i…

Then President Biden made the ridiculous excuse that Ukraine could not join NATO because it was too corrupt. Well, should the US now withdraw from NATO? The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

There's no meaningful distinction to be made between the Israeli settlers in the West Bank who burn, pillage, and murder at will—in fact, actively promoted, aided, and defended by Trump pal Benjamin Netanyahu—and ISIS. Genocidal religious terrorists both. nytimes.com/2026/04/21/wor…

Good article by Jeremy Kinsman in Policy Magazine; "...the United States has adopted the hegemonic default posture that prioritizes its own sovereignty .., Trump recognizes no constraints on unilateral U.S. action based on international law, behavioural convention or moral code
