French President Emmanuel Macron spoke of wanting to recognize a Palestinian state as part of a ceasefire deal as recently as June.

When comments like this coming from the French government, Oweida said, it's surprising that France has succeeded in getting students out of Gaza while Canada has not.

"I think it says volumes, even though we don't really understand what is going on at the level of the Canadian government, but the observations that we're seeing speak volumes and of themselves," he said.

"How could France, who's been quite critical of Israel, evacuate?"

... and, by extension, Canada not?

sigh

We're doing absolutely nothing to help Palestinians.

The whole thing is so frustrating.

Canada has always been in bed with the USA. USA funds Israel down to their universal healthcare.

Truth & Reconciliation wise... I think Canadians need to acknowledge that our quality of life was built on the very injustices we're waking up to.

Our gov't does nothing for Palestine because they know that Canadians will care more about the negative effects to their standard of living cause by a fallout with the USA, than Palestinians.

I don't know what Canada could do that would meaningfully benefit Palestinians, that wouldn't also aggravate the USA.

I think in the long term Canada undermining the USA's economic dominance is probably the only thing we can do unless we're willing to endure some suffering ourselves.
