2026-03-20T16:35:52Z

A newly announced group calling itself the “Earthquake Faction”claimed responsibility for setting fire to a facility linked to Israel’s Elbit Systems in Pardubice, Czech Republic.

The group described the site as part of a broader network supporting the expansion of Israel’s arms industry in Europe, saying it targeted the facility, damaged its equipment, and set it on fire while it was empty, with no injuries reported.

That Jews are like "Blacks" and Palestine supporters are like the KKK is one of the more warped and distorted views (to put it mildly) I've seen, and that it comes from such a prominent figure as Michael Geist is an excoriation of Canadian society in general.

From "Hamas did take out a couple of very very bad gangs", to threatening Hamas for "killing people", there was an incredible about-face from Trump, likely due to pressure from Israel, who, it is claimed, have been surreptitiously supporting these criminal gangs in Gaza in order to sow violence and instability.

2025-09-30T15:40:25Z

Ontario premier Doug Ford is talking a lot right now about not being "radical left or radical right", and it's a great example of "moral equivalence", a logical fallacy that we're all probably guilty of, but is especially common in liberalism.

Radical right: "let's build a White Christian ethno-state."

Radical left: "gee, maybe we shouldn't have homelessness."

These are not the same, lol.

Canada, Australia and UK recognize Palestine. My $0.02 (for what it's worth lol), is it a powerful symbol? Could be, I'm no expert. What will change for Palestinians? For Gazans being exterminated? Very cynically, I would say the English-speaking world is *so* Zionist that this is actually about trying to save Israel from itself with the "2-state solution" that Israel itself rejects! As much as it includes the word "Palestine", is it really about Palestinians?
