    As a Canadian watching the Israeli government and state devolve into a fascist genocidal regime - one whose lobbyists have too much sway over federal and local politics - I will be pestering every government representative to expell all Israeli diplomats, agents, and cease any association with groups like CIJA.

    Fuck bibi.

      What are you talking about? It always was, this is not a Netanyahu thing. He was not prime minister during the nakba, he was not prime minister during the 67 war, he was not prime minister during Sabra and Shatila, he was not prime minister when the worst of the blockade on Gaza started. Fascism and ethnic cleansing is built into the very DNA of the country.

      I mean we don’t call them fascists because the concept doesn’t really exist here, but Arabs have known everything the West is now “discovering” about Israel for more than 80 years. None of this is new.

        Very true.

        This might just be the kick in the ass some people in some governments need.

        I do recognise that I am not as informed as I could or should be on certain things. And I cannot imagine the experiences many have endured.

        Is there a term similar used?

          Zionist. I’m not kidding; at least where I come from the word “Zionist” is used with varying degrees of seriousness to refer to someone who’s dishonest and untrustworthy or excessively cruel.
