Remember when Canadian Prime Minister @markjcarney told Davos that the rules-based order was a fraud? What Carney omitted to say was that the rules-based order will continue to define Canadian foreign policy.
Aaron Maté@aaronjmate

Canada has blocked European MP @RimaHas from entering the country. Rima was slated to speak at events on the topic of Palestinian freedom, including one in Montreal with me and others this Monday. Her visa was approved until the last moment, when it was suddenly revoked. By contrast, Israeli officials complicit in the Gaza genocide and related crimes have had no problems visiting Canada. The anti-Palestinian hate group @bnaibrithcanada lobbied against her visit and his now taking credit for her denial. Solidarity with Rima Has, who I know won't be deterred by this blatant act of political censorship, and shame on the Canadian government for caving yet again to anti-Palestinian bigotry.

WHO DID IT?
Anita Anand@AnitaAnandMP

We condemn the killing of three #UNIFIL peacekeepers which constitutes a grave violation of international law. All parties must respect the safety and security of UN personnel and fully comply with UNSCR 1701. Canada reaffirms its strong support for UNIFIL’s essential mandate and commends the courage of its personnel.

There is a special kind of naivety that believes U.S. soldiers die for strangers. They die for oil fields. For shipping routes. For markets and minerals and maps scribbled in think tanks. The speeches are written for you. The missions are planned for shareholders. Every time they say "intervention," read "investment." And every time they say "stability," ask yourself: stable for whom? Because it is never the people who end up under the rubble.

He is a psychopath. We are right to hate everything he stands for. We are right to reject anyone, and everyone who supports these draconian, racist laws, passed by an apartheid, terrorist state.
Prem Thakker@prem_thakker

The Israeli official and convicted terrorist who just yesterday declared his support for a military unit that assaulted a CNN crew & killed a 78-year-old Palestinian-American is now today drinking champagne to celebrate a new law to execute Palestinians.

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known. Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.
Dyab Abou Jahjah@Aboujahjah

Israel has now become the first state to codify a death sentence that applies in practice to one ethnic group, while another is effectively shielded from it.

BREAKING: Spain just blocked US war planes targeting Iran from flying over its territory. Airspace closed. Military bases denied. No participation. The entire country is now off-limits. Spain is refusing to be complicit. All other European/NATO countries need to follow suit.

Rima Hassan
Rima Hassan@RimaHas·
Le député Alexandre Boulerice, a expliqué en entrevue à La Presse canadienne, qu'il trouvait “suspect” ce revirement de situation, qui pourrait cacher une décision émanant tout droit du gouvernement Carney ; “on semble vouloir accorder une punition politique à Rima Hassan pour des positions qui sont très fortes, très fermes, très claires, sur les enjeux palestiniens et la question du génocide à Gaza”. Le député solidaire responsable des relations internationales, Andrés Fontecilla, a pour sa part appelé Ottawa à faire toute la lumière sur cette situation et sur les motifs qui ont mené à cette décision. “Si Mme Hassan a bel et bien été empêchée d’entrer au Canada en raison de ses positions politiques, cela poserait un sérieux problème de censure et soulèverait de réelles inquiétudes pour le débat démocratique et la libre circulation des idées”. L'Agence des services frontaliers du Canada, Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada et Sécurité publique Canada n'ont pas encore répondu aux questions de Radio-Canada. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/22423…

That's called being family. South Vietnam was a puppet. A misbehaving child handed candy and weapons by a foreign power and told to fight its own siblings. But when the war ended, Hanoi didn't disown them. It absorbed the debt. It reunified the country. It said: you are still Vietnamese, and this is still our house to clean up together. That's what parents do with a child who went astray. You don't abandon them. You pay the bill, you bring them home, and you rebuild. America created the mess, left the debt, and flew off in a helicopter. Vietnam stayed and paid it. Tell me again which side actually cared about the Vietnamese people.
Goo the Imperishable@VologasesI

@nxt888 Vietnam also had to absorb and pay-off the debt of the former American puppet state of South Vietnam

"Move on." The country that has kept a global military footprint across the planet since 1975 is telling us to move on. The country that sanctioned Iraq into a humanitarian catastrophe, then invaded it on fabricated evidence, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, is telling us to move on. The country that ran drone assassination programs across multiple nations, that overthrew governments in Libya, that fueled proxy war in Syria, that has strangled Cuba with sanctions for more than six decades, is telling us to move on. I want to ask you something directly. Did America move on? Because from where I'm standing, the same logic that sent B-52s over Hanoi is still at work in Caracas, in Tehran, in Havana, in every capital that dares to tell Washington no. The tactics have better branding now. They call it "democracy promotion" instead of carpet bombing. They freeze assets instead of dropping napalm. They fund opposition media instead of running Phoenix Program assassinations. But beneath every intervention is the same question America asked in Vietnam: Who gave you permission to choose your own path? You didn't come to save us in 1965. You came to punish us as an example. And when the example failed, when we won, you didn't reflect. You didn't change. You just found smaller countries to make examples of next. As for profiting from hate: The chemical companies that manufactured Agent Orange are still profitable today. Still have shareholders. Still pay dividends. Off a product that is still deforming Vietnamese children in 2026. Tell me again who's profiting. And most Vietnamese have moved on, forward. We rebuilt. We grew. We thrived despite your nineteen-year embargo. But moving on doesn't mean pretending it didn't happen. It means knowing exactly what happened, and exactly who did it, and making sure the world never mistakes power for righteousness again. That's not hate. Phil. That's memory. And memory is the one thing empires have always feared more than any army.
Phil Boro@pjcboro

@nxt888 Pretty uncool to try to stir up anti US hatred based on the tragic war which was bigger than your beautiful home country. Most Vietnamese have moved on. You should too, unless you just want to profit from hate.
