Their ultimate goal is a land “cleansed” of Palestinians (in German, that already sounds clichéd). There is a direct line between the events of today and the violent takeover of Palestinian lands and springs by settlers in the 1990s and early 2000s. Similarly, there is a connection between the apathy back then and the fatalism of today, as if the rioters are a biblical swarm of locusts and we are helpless against them.

There is no real difference between the craven hypocrisy, the self-serving opportunism and unseemly servility of a Mark Carney (like Justin Trudeau before him), a Pierre Poilievre or an Yves-François Blanchet when it comes to bowing before the altar of the Jewish Supremacist State of Israel. Perhaps the greatest hypocrite of all is Yves-François Blanchet who plays at being so much more ‘moral’ and ‘progressive’ than his political adversaries in the Liberal (Zionist) and Conservative parties of Canada.

Zionism turned its back on the indigenous population that lived in Palestine from its early days – ever since the days of “the conquest of labor,” calling for Jews to work in agriculture and industry – the first Zionist dispossession. Long before the Arab riots of 1929 and the Holocaust, the movement sought to dispossess and expel the local population.
