While the discourse changing is good it’s sad that It took a whole genocide and the mass murder and starvation of people who have been having their homes stolen and been under occupation over 75 years for some truth to come out.
Little known facts are that hundreds of thousands of Christian’s were expelled from Israel in just the year 1948 alone. (750-800k Palestinians expelled & 25% were Christians, do the math, less than 2 percent of Israel is Christian’s now).
Land theft has only increased since then, year after year, decade after decade Israel has driven out non Jews from their ancestral homes (Bethlehem is occupied).
Israel has blown up churches like the 1600 year old Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius. Snipers killed a woman and her daughter sheltering in a separate church, their tanks fired on nuns in a convent. (Pope Francis was called an antisemite online for speaking about it) They have bombed that same Catholic Church just 2 weeks ago and Pope Leo spoke out.
I’m sure most Canadians have been well informed of these basic facts. And discussing them is encouraged not just in the political realm but also throughout the media.

IMO Canada’s position is incoherent. We’re saying we will recognize statehood on conditions the Palestinians can’t and won’t meet and after the UK and France made their recognition unconditional. It’s also worth reiterating such recognition is merely symbolic and does not change conditions on the ground whatsoever. Finally, Trump is now threatening our trade deal based on this announcement. Will Carney cave again? Was it a misstep to make this announcement prior to the trade deal being agreed to? We still have 6 weeks before the UN meeting in September so Carney had plenty of time to make it.

Canada will put out a nice statement or say they’re sorry, or recognize a state , that’s an apartheid state atm. But won’t do much else, pandering to morals without real action or divestment
