MODERATORS
 

Amid a lack of precise information about Canadian military goods being sold to Israel, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have repeatedly claimed that only “non-lethal” goods have been authorized for export since October 7.

“Non-lethal” is a legally meaningless term that arms monitoring groups have repeatedly noted could apply to components of deadly weapons.

We're at least having the argument. America and the EU are just shipping the weapons, business as usual. It's perhaps more useful to support efforts to clean up our arms export system rather than imply it doesn't matter because "historical human rights offences". Every nation has darkness (more or less) but export reform feels like progress.

Not all of the EU. I understand Ireland is very vocal about doing the right thing.

Germany on the other hand seems wholly in capable of being on the right side of a genocide.

Germany has some experience with this sort of thing.
