I agree completely. Keep up the good fight Charlie. Our collective future rests on those with leverage seeing the futility of allowing the Israel/U.S to continue their destructive paths without strong dissent.
The parade didn't work, the flagpoles didn't work, He needed an explosion to get the headlines. Yes, he is that simple and stupid and needy. A broken creature craving attention which he views as love and worship.
HAMAS formed in late 1987 at the beginning of the first Palestinian intifada (uprising). Its roots are in the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and it is supported by a robust sociopolitical structure inside the Palestinian territories. The Brotherhood emerged as a powerful political factor, challenging the influence of the PLO, and in 1987 adopted a more nationalist and activist line under the name of Hamas. Hamas was initially discreetly supported by Israel as a counter-balance to the secular PLO.
The Gaza war began on 7 October 2023 when Hamas launched coordinated armed incursions on Israel from the Gaza Strip. However, the Gaza–Israel conflict precedes the 2023 attacks. Hamas attacked Israel because of its occupation of the Gaza Strip.
ISIS, originally known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), emerged in its current form in 2013. The group, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was formed by merging forces in Iraq and Syria and initially calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
ISIS emerged from the chaos following the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the Syrian civil war precipitated by the CIA to topple the regime.
Hezbollah was founded in 1982 by Lebanese clerics in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
It seems all the terrorist organizations are a byproduct of American/Israeli hegemony. I wonder who is the real terrorist?
Hypothetically, if USA tried to topple the Canadian Government or invade Canada, the grassroots resistance would be labeled terrorists. I suppose this radical militant rebel group of terrorists could be known as “MapleAngusers”.
Iran has their Pearl Harbor Day, their 9-11. They have been attacked by religious fanatics and fascists. The rest of the world will rally to an alliance against the US
Iran has lied their way to where we are now and they are the foremost promoters of terrorists in the middle east and maybe the world. How many times have we heard them say publically that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth?
They are not making tea bisquits in Fordo.
I don't agree with your take on Iran or for that matter Gaza Charlie and I am no Trumper.
These death cult Islamic terrorists need to be exterminated, all of them.
Maybe soon the Iranian people can start living a life free from the tiranical reign of the unelected Mullahs!
Israel has brought about real change for the better in the middle east.
Iran has no friends there and the arab nations are all cheering in the background over the demise of Iran's influence!
Finally someone made the hard decision to take on Iran's nuclear ambitions instead of pushing it down the road for the next administration to deal with.
Speaking of Islamic terrorists, it’s time someone listed all the attacks/murders/ kidnappings that have been perpetrated on the west by these people. It seems all has been forgotten. Even forgiven. (Robert Kennedy was assassinated by a Palestinian.)
Let us be very clear that Mark Carney is, albeit a good investment banker, 'A BABY POLITICIAN' coping with things very seasoned politicians have, and handling it well. On top of Canada's many challenges-- enough right there--on top of Trump's war cries and tariffs--plenty there, Mark Carney is helping Zelensky for Ukraine, caught in an illegal, corrupt war--more than enough.
Canada 🇨🇦 could issue a statement to the effect that
Canada stands with the rights of Sovereign nations who require respect.
Kudos, 'baby politician with big boy elbows' for your tireless work on our behalf. And I'm pleased that Canada is home to so many Iranian people. I welcome them.
What are your thoughts on Bill C5 and Bill C2? Many of the provisions in both mirror the right wing antics of "seasoned politicians" in the US and our own Alberta.
How did inviting Indian PM Modi and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the G7 contribute to supporting the rights of sovereign nations who require respect?
Sounds good. But do I get to choose for whom, or against what, to rally? Does it even matter, as long as it keeps me busy? What practical political purpose could it serve, other than distraction? Should I care? Or is the old saw "Every man for himself!" -- cried the elephant as he danced among the chickens -- what our politics has become these days? Anyhow, that's what I often hear kids asking about. .
I’m so sick of rich men who are fueled by testosterone and think they are in a video game wreaking havoc on poor innocent people who just want to have a normal life. Are these men so bored they need to grab their boy toys and be the hero to their followers while jeopardizing everyone else??? Oh, we have the technology, why don’t we use it?!! Let’s grab our planes and bombs and just see what happens??? Redemptive violence is a MYTH. Violence only fosters more violence. Men need to stand down from their greed and the search for excitement. It’s not just about the money. It’s about the unleashing of EVIL. These men would not know GOODNESS if it ran over them.
Nailed it, Charlie. Thanks. I’ve spent this weekend looking for a voice of sanity. So, what exactly can we do? I’m tired of the drip drip drip of daily outrages from Trump and Netanyahu, but the worst part is knowing that our leaders and media don’t have the moral clarity or the guts to do what needs to be done. They compromise and delay and waffle and normalize. Are soon as the chorus of “Israel has a right to defend itself” started playing Saturday morning, I knew this was going to be a continuation of the shit show. Do they think we are stupid or are they counting on enough people to not pay attention? I’m ashamed of our Canadian government. Here are some things people
2)donate to the Hind Rajab Foundation which seeks legal prosecution of war criminals known to have specifically targeted Palestinian civilians. https://www.hindrajabfoundation.org/
Good evening Charlie. All I can say is WTF. Mango Maga has proven he has the intelligence of a practice puck. He is clearly being manipulated by the cabal surrounding him who have pushed the world into a perilous, destabilized state. Their backing of the increasingly criminal netenyahoo party will force Iran into a corner from which they could lash out disasterously. Unconditional surrender are fighting words... fat orange bandies them about with no conception of their context. But I dont think he knows or cares, others will take the fall. The latino soldier on one hand or the fancy lawyer on the other. Cheeto has so far emerged unscathed because he does not care. Golden showers or golden dome he blunders on.
Your strong, steady voice of reason is very appreciated. Thank you from those of us in the U.S. that believe in our strength united.
It is rumoured that Iran took 400kg of 60% U235 fuel someplace else, before the strike.
Some 2-bit psychoanalysis: Had Trump’s parade been a success maybe he would have skipped the bombing. Not that he would ever try to save face….

He is an abscess on the arse of the planet.

" It could be said that the myth of Western moral superiority died in the death camp that is Gaza." Not "could" but "should". It is the truth.

can DO RIGHT NOW to resist the genocide in Gaza:
1)follow and donate to Doctors Against Genocide, who have weekly Sunday updates from doctors in Gaza. https://doctorsagainstgenocide.org/nabqa-huna-%D9%86%D8%A8%D9%82%D9%89-%D9%87%D9%86%D8%A7.
2)donate to the Hind Rajab Foundation which seeks legal prosecution of war criminals known to have specifically targeted Palestinian civilians. https://www.hindrajabfoundation.org/
3)Let your MP's and our Foreign Minister Anita Anand (anita.anand@international.gc.ca) and Prime Minister Carney (email: pm@pm.gc.ca and also comment web site:https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/connect/contact) know that you don't think Canada should continue to support Israel's genocide in Gaza.
4)Almost every community in Canada has a regular march to protest the genocide in Gaza; find and join these events.
Please share ideas for ACTION.
