I want those in Gaza to get all the support they can to survive this and I’m glad for them to get something rather than nothing from Canada, but I also see this as primarily just performative face-saving from Canada. We aren’t doing anything like as much as we could to apply pressure. Instead, we’re taking minor actions that won’t actually apply much pressure or change the course of Israeli plans while making us look humane. It’s government trying to relieve a bit of public pressure and maintain international image while not doing anything to really rock the boat.
Apply pressure. We’re selling them the fucking bullets to do genocide. We are active participants because of our government in the extermination of an entire people.
