Presumably because Canada is run by competent politicians and in politics a competent politician doesn't rage on about everything that comes to mind the moment it comes to mind. You get more done by being smart about where you target your priorities.
I am of course not a politician, so I made a comment where I just told the straight up truth of the matter and will likely be downvoted for it because it's not the popular thing to say.
There’s always a stupid excuse for genocide.
In what way did I "excuse genocide?" I'm pointing out that it's not the literal only issue that a country or a politician needs to address. We need to balance multiple issues or we lose our ability to deal with any of them effectively.
You’re making pathetic excuses for Canada’s legal obligation to oppose genocide. It’s always “we don’t have bandwidth” to deal with the people you’re racist towards. Stop acting like a spineless coward with no principles.
People like you have enabled Israel’s murder of at least 65k Palestinians. Saying useless crap to distract the public.
What legal obligation does Canada have?
So what you're saying is you're too stupid to be able to think about more than one thing at a time.
It costs our politicians nothing to say the truth - that this is the modern day Holocaust and that Israel should be boycotted, isolated and sanctioned. Your comment just makes excuses for cowardice and sells it as pragmatism.
Truth Canada has no international power anymore. And they don't want to weaken what relationships they already have.
Neoliberalism
Corporate-whorism
Because the only reason they recognize palestine is to distract us from their inaction and even complicity in this war of extermination
