A new Israeli government could enjoy the benefits of a diplomatic reset while leaving the occupation substantially intact. Canada should judge any incoming government by what it does to dismantle these structures. Replacing Netanyahu alone cannot justify a restoration of normal diplomatic relations.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Another delusional privileged white male👇 This is about human beings, and the loss of their human rights. Non-psychopaths must engage in fighting to protect human rights and the vulnerable members of their community, not act like an AI calculator tells them too.
I do listen. This is about math. The system is what it is and we must engage it for what it is. You want to change the system, great! But you have to win first.

While pundits on national television applauded Lorne Doerkson for running a campaign supposedly laser-focused on the economy, it appears white nationalists were paying attention when his campaign manager posted "fuck Islam" and when his relentlessly attacked Indigenous rights. Total media failure.
To be clear, this is sarcasm. It is a very bad sign that this election was taken as a signal by white supremacists!
