Not a word yet from @MarkJCarney and @AnitaAnandMP on Trump’s genocidal threat against Iran. This rhetoric presents the ultimate test for Canadian foreign policy, asking just how much illegality Canada is willing to tolerate. Failure to act would itself be an unlawful omission.

🇮🇷 Make this Viral. Media won't show you this. Rabbi Younes Hammami Lalezar, leader of Iran's Jewish community, stands before the ruins of a synagogue in central Tehran destroyed by Israeli bombing. Jews practice Judaism, run schools and synagogues, and even have a seat in parliament.

🚩Belgium on strike against war and austerity Over 100,000 people took to the streets of Brussels against the anti-people measures implemented by the "Arizona" coalition. Social movements, trade unions and progressive organizations are opposing the plans that would finance militarization (to achieve the quotas demanded by Trump, of 5% for NATO) at the expense of the people, workers’ pensions and salaries.

In a normal world, Israel would have been held accountable for targetting hospitals and schools in Gaza but instead they are so incredibly emboldened by having faced absolutely no consequences that they are doing it all over again in another country - with support. It's sick.

🔴 BREAKING: Iranian medical authorities say 20 hospitals and emergency medical service stations have been hit since the start of the attacks, with parts of Gandhi Hospital in Tehran, including its emergency department, angiography unit, and infertility ward, completely destroyed. Officials added that more than 10 healthcare workers have been killed in the strikes.

Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East
We are alarmed that Prime Minister @MarkJCarney is refusing to “categorically rule out” Canada’s participation in the war on Iran, even after he acknowledged yesterday that the US-Israeli attacks appear to violate international law. It shouldn’t be this difficult. Canadians do not want to join this illegal war of aggression, and we refuse to let allow Carney leave that door open.

Your government explicitly endorsed illegal US-Israeli attacks that deliberately sabotaged negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. You can't pretend that you support a diplomatic and peaceful solution. Call for a ceasefire.

The rhetoric coming out of the government of Canada re Iran is nothing short of Kafkaesque. Your statement that Canada supports the U.S.-Israeli aggression is entirely incompatible with a commitment to the peaceful resolution of international disputes, per logic and law.
