Canada reverses UN stance on Palestinians in break with U.S. over settlements



Canada breaks with recent history by voting against Israel at the UN, signalling it disagrees with U.S.



Canada voted for a UN resolution on Tuesday in support of Palestinians' right to self-determination.


The vote marks a major departure for Canada, which has declined to support substantially the same resolution through 14 consecutive votes since Stephen Harper came to power in 2006.

Tuesday's resolution was opposed by Israel, the United States and three Pacific island nations that depend heavily on U.S. aid and tend to vote with Washington at the UN: the Marshall Islands, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia.

Speaking on background, an official at Global Affairs Canada said the vote sends a message that Canada does not agree with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's assertion on Monday that Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories are "not, per se, inconsistent with international law."....

Canadian left are anti Semitic, we have know that for along time. And this past election proved it again. Sad.

[Downinfloflo]

Israels current mode of operations is nothing more than state sponsored terrorism.

Pompeo is burning the house down before he leaves.

Israel needs to stop playing the victim card here, They're not, Criticism of Israeli policies on Palestine is not Anti Semitic either.

That's another victim card often played.

All the right wing trash you read has corrupted your brain to believe that anyone who isn't 100% pro Israel all the time is somehow anti-Semitic.

[ticatfan]

Get the Arabs on boards and great things will happen, but as long as the so called Palestinian is being used as a pawn by their Arab brothers nothing will change. Settlements are a major problem ,but a different approach is needed.

Well you don't have any idea what happened up here during the election with left wing candidates having anti jew propaganda on their social media sites, and I said anti Jew, not just anti Ismael. Anti Semitics are rising in the world. 1930's all over again.

So you think the settlements are a "major problem" and think the Palestinians shouldn't be used as pawns, but somehow the Canadian left is "anti-Semitic" because they don't agree with the US that the settlements aren't illegal and they're in favor of Palestinian self-determination?

That's completely illogical. This, to me, seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to oppose anything the current government does because you don't like them, even if it's something that's pretty damn close to what you agree with.

First off, anyyone can pretend to be something they're not and post on social media.

Secondly, you'd have to live in a cave to think it's the left that is anti-semetic.

It's not the left that has in the past shown up at Trump rallies with Nazi armbands. It's not the left going to protests waving nazi flags. It's not the left spouting white nationalist rhetoric. it's the right.

Israel's "settlements" have been illegal for over 50 years. Maybe the US should just take parts of Canada by building "settlements".

lol. the left calling anyone who doesnt agree with them as being nazzi, racist, uncle Tom,etc.etc. even if they are people of color.

No...we just call obvious racists (actually...there is hardly any of that particular designation "nazzi"...same with "Uncle Tom") racists.

It's pretty simple concept to understand. Even for you.

The FACT is that the right DOES call anyone who questions ANYTHING that Israel does "anti-Semitic". All the time. No matter what.

Yeah, that's actually the complete opposite of what happened in this thread and is just another poor "they do it too!" defense.

Most here have no clue what is going on over their . If they did they would agree with me. No peace till Hamas and is gone. And how did giving back the Gaza strip work out for Israel?

Canada has been trying to build a few settlements in Florida for years, so far so good. I'll keep you posted.
