Yea, I think it's worth the cost... it may result in a trade war with America, but the US response to this genocide is absolutely reprehensible.

Canada needs to stop being the U.S.'s puppy

I mean we sold the Saudis weapons to bomb the Yemenis, so I'm just surprised we haven't been sending Israel weapons to bomb the Gazans.

Did we? I know I'm being pedantic, but I thought we just sold them LAVs. The Saudis armed the vehicles themselves.

Let's say they didn't have the vehicles. What would they arm them with?

That's like saying we'll send the Israelis bombers but if they arm them with bombs, that's on them.

You're being pedantic but it's a stupid argument to make.

No, that'd be like arming LAVs with cannons and machine guns, but not supplying ammo. I won't argue that LAVs are anything but machines of war but they alone aren't weapons, and the distinction is important.

Bombers don't necessarily have to come with bombs. They could be used to dump water for example on a forest fire. The bombs are extra.

Water bombers are completely different than strategic bombers. The models are not interchangeable.

And the bombs are extra, but so are the armaments those bombs are launched from.

All my liberal/leftwing/queer folks support Palestine. Meanwhile people they voted for went in a completely opposite direction and support Israel. This will be bad for their future chance at being elected again.

It's almost like none of the parities in Canada actually represent the wants and needs of Canadians!
