Following the events in Iran, Alexandre Boulerice, NDP Foreign Affairs Critic, issued the following statement:

"The NDP strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran. This is a dangerous escalation that risks dragging the entire region into a major conflict. The oppressive and bloody regime of the Ayatollahs is reprehensible, but its nuclear program must be managed through the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In fact, its Director General, Mr. Grossi, recently indicated that he was working with the Iranian administration to resume inspections and reiterated that there could be no solution other than a diplomatic one.

The NDP deplores the Carney government's decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump's administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace, and international law."

Don't repeat Zionist propaganda, then. There's nothing antisemitic about saying Israel controls the USA, although I disagree that it is the case

I'm not going to debate this silliness. Educate yourself.

I am educated. Your logic makes zero sense you agree that Israel don't represent jews at the same time you are implying that saying Israel control the USA means jews control the USA. It effing doesn't

Sigh. Multiple things can be true simultaneously. Israel doesn't represent all Jews. Israel doesn't have to represent all Jews for people to ascribe to it classic antisemitic tropes. Calling out those antisemitic tropes because perpetuating them hurts all Jews is not spreading Israeli propaganda.

It's not that hard.

The Bloods and the Crips do not represent black culture. They don't have to represent black culture for people to ascribe to them classic anti-black racist tropes. Calling out those racist tropes because perpetuating them hurts all black people is not doing gang propaganda.
TERFs do not represent all feminist politics. They don't have to represent all feminist politics for people to ascribe to them classic sexist tropes. Calling out those sexist tropes because perpetuating them hurts all women is not transphobic propaganda.

I can keep going. This is the kind of hair splitting you need to be able to do if you want to call yourself educated.

A, a, a, a, careful there. Read what I actually wrote, I was very careful. I said "people ascribe tropes". I didn't talk about what people are, I talked about what tropes they ascribe.
