I really think Israel went to far on this one;I hate Jews as much as the next red blooded European but if the Gazans didn't want to witness any atrocities they probably shouldn't have provoked the Juden on October 7th. You cannot smack someone and then claim to be violated by the response. Furthermore, Muslims protesting in the West should either be deported or sent to the showers of Dachau.
but yeah- I agree with you entirely. The Gazans aren't total victims either, and had their own autonomy in this.
When they dislike Hamas, its also not because they attacked the jews, but because their tactics were so batshit stupid, it blew back on them immediately. If not Hamas, they'd enthusiastically support whatever organization was sending kids over as suicide bombers, like the PLO, etc.
When Oct 7th happened, I immediately thought it was going to be like 9/11 and the war on terror, and was right. It gave Israel a clear mandate to take out Hamas and prevent such an attack from happening again-
but like 9/11, the path they took, the level of destruction, the lack of planning, and the hijacking by the extreme right in Israel to use this as a settler project, it has so many parallels to Iraq that history basically is repeating itself once more.
Overnight, Hamas ironically destroyed and disabled the left wing in Israel (emboldening the right), which would probably have more restraint on how the war was fought. You see this thing repeating itself a few times in history, even with 9/11 or the assassination of the Tsar by nihilists in Russia. Its such a braindead tactic and I don't understand why so many terrorists do it and think anything good will happen after. 'If we kill a bunch of peace activists and rape them, surely the rest of the country will come to the negotiation table'
Carney outed himself on live TV as someone who understands even the basics of the issue as poorly as the average CBC boomer when he's trying to pitch himself as some kind of diplomatic super-genius.
I might consider a banker to be a good prime minister during times of economic crisis- but for Carney in particular, theres three major points I dislike.
A) Hes from the old liberal elite. He is and had a leading role in the same regime that basically damned this country over the past decade, green lit key decisions, towed the line, and if he 'wants to solve a problem', he was there when it was caused
B) Hes a neoliberal banker, when it comes to the UKs economy not working- I don't believe his economic planning has anything potentially good for the middle or lower classes. I'm sure that all he has is refinancializing the economy and things like trying to invest in big tech, lowered banking tariffs, etc. Great for GDP- does shit all for the average person
C) For diplomacy, hes not a diplomat. Hes a banker. He has some connections, I'm sure- but hes not the guy to actually do diplomacy with Trump, or any serious big global player now- frankly. Hes more of an administrator, than anything else. This is government by the 'deepstate', just with a more naked face, plain and simple
To be fair, I don't think Pierre is that good of a diplomat either, but with these key things, even he's a bit better potentially, to be honest.
