It’s a relief to hear the Prime Minister express some moral outrage over Ben-Gvir’s brutish behaviour, outrage which has been missing during Israel’s attack on Iran, bombardment of Lebanon and ongoing genocide in Gaza.
But strong words must be followed by strong action. Sanctioning individual ministers is not enough when this cruelty is mirrored in Israeli state policy. Close the loophole on arms sales, cancel the free trade agreement and use every tool in Canada’s diplomatic arsenal to end Israel’s impunity.
“None of us carries any weapons.”
“We carry nothing but kindness, goodness, love and prayer.”
This Easter, we remember the words of Father Pierre El Rahi.
Israel killed him in South Lebanon.
A priest with prayers. Murdered in broad daylight.
Trump and Israel just bombed one of Iran’s largest and most prestigious universities in Tehran.
In Iran, public higher education is widely state-funded.
Iran prioritizes education.
Something that clearly enrages the criminal Trump‑Israel alliance.
BREAKING:
Trump and Israel dropped bombs on one of the oldest scientific institutions in the region.
A medical research center in the heart of Iran’s capital, Tehran.
They’re not bombing a battlefield.
They’re bombing science.
They’re bombing medicine.
They’re bombing history.
Trump and Israel are bombing civilian bridges in Iran.
Not military targets.
Bridges that let people escape.
Roads that let ambulances reach the wounded.
Food, medicine, water: all blocked.
We saw it in Gaza, then Lebanon, and now Iran.
This is systematic assault on civilians
