...who are the semitic people, becaue aside from faith, they seem the same....aside from chosen beliefs they seem the same...aside from the clique, they are the same..

...who are the ant-semites?... history will tell

....anti-semitic means many things...

...anti-semites think that jewis folks are isolated...

...what is a semite?

are the palestinian people semites? are the israeli transplants from the expulsion of other regions semites? are we choosing a random affiliation to hate someone? no one is marginalised...what the actual fuck?...

-jesus probably

There's a lot of comments in this thread, with a LOT of up votes, claiming this is a nothing burger and isn't actually a change in Canadian foreign policy. I understand being annoyed at slow progress that should've happened long ago but claiming this is actually bad for Palestine is disingenuous.

Canada has never recognised a Palestinian government other than the Palestinian Authority (PA) which is an Israeli organisation set up to represent Palestine on behalf of Israel. Here they are clearly starting they have intention to do so which most likely will be the State of Palestine which is a Palestinian organisation that currently receives the most recognition in the United nations general Assembly.

Here they have declared their intent:

"Canada supports a two-state solution"

Here they have declared their current plans regarding recognition:

"Ottawa “will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week."

Here Isreal have denounced the move by Canada:

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the move,"

Here Hamas has declared support for similar plans for recognition that France has made:

"Hamas described the move as a positive step in the right direction towards justice for the oppressed Palestinian people"

If I were a paranoid person I'd say that the comments declaring Canada's plan to recognise Palestine are futile and meaningless are pro Israeli propaganda planted to look like a pro Palestinian stance. And when it comes to discussions about Israel online, I am very paranoid.

I am sorry, but nowhere does he say that.

The "we want a two state solution, but wont recognize a palestinian state until Israel agrees to it" has been the modus operandi of many Genocide supporting countries. They know Israel wont ever agree to it while they reject putting actual pressure on the Zionist project.

Wait, where does he say he's recognising Palestine?

This dosent change jack shit. UN memberships have to be approved by all the perminent members of the security council and the US is a perminent member of said council. And in the UN the US always does what Israel tells them to.

If I remember correctly last year there was a vote on palistine becoming a member and the only countires that voted no was the US and Israel but palistine is still not a member because Israel told the US to block it.

Weak

To be clear, Palestine needs to be recognized, I'm saying this is too weak (and very late) of a response.

Israelis and Palestinian citizens need to agree together that they have to oust their Hamas and Netanyahu regime oppressors. Without this, nothing will change.
