Unlimited capacity for hypocrisy seems to be 'the way of the west'. Here's Canadian political reaction to the Iranian response, from the Epoch Times.

“Canada unequivocally condemns Iran’s airborne attacks against Israel. We stand with Israel. After supporting Hamas’ brutal October 7 attack, the Iranian regime’s latest actions will further destabilize the region and make lasting peace more difficult,” the Prime Minster’s Office said in a statement on April 13.

“In this difficult time, we stand with Israel, the Israeli people and Jewish communities in Canada and abroad,” Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly wrote on social media platform X. “These unprecedented attacks from Iran will only serve to further destabilize the region. It must stop.”

Mr. Poilievre expressed the Official Opposition’s similar stance. “I unequivocally condemn the brazen attack launched on Israel by the Iranian regime, ....”

How do those strong condemnations compare to their responses to the Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy, the numerous Israeli attacks on Syria, and most obviously, the ongoing utter merciless cruelty of Israel vs the Palestinians and anyone on the ground helping them?

I wrote this paper and got it out before I learned here that the Trudeau governments "stands with Israel" on this matter. I certainly don't stand with Israel right now. The Canadian government doesn't speak for me. The Canadian government has yet to discuss this matter with the Canadian people. Trudeau and Joly are clearly simply ignorant pseudo-Zionist pawns acting on the orders of their real bosses including the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, CIJA

On April 1 the Israelis blew up the Iranian Embassy which apparently was right next door to the Canadian Embassy.What does the Canadian PM have to say about this matter? Justin Trudeau is already stumbling over mountains of evidence pointing to his own violations of many criminal laws. Apparently on April 1st the Canadian Embassy had prior notice from Israel that neighbouring Embassy of Iran was about to be bombed. The Canadian Embassy was emptied of people before the bomb hit.

Did the Trudeau government help Israel with the planning and timing of the Israeli strike on the Iranian Embassy? Where is there any evidence that after April 1 the Canadian government protested the violation of the Vienna Convention as expressed in the Israeli bombing of the Iranian Embassy adjacent to the Canadian Embassy?

Eleni sent this interview with Michael Hudson about the conduct of the war against Palestinians, which is patterned as the war against the Vietnamese people was patterned during that war, based upon the systems analysis paradigm of Physicist, Herman Kahn, who was the inspiration for "Dr. Strangelove" in that movie, and explored the theory of "winnable" nuclear war, as well as the "Strategic Hamlets" initiative in Vietnam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn

Kahn was a founding member of the Hudson Institute, and also worked as a military analyst and strategist at the similar Rand Corporation. Michael Hudson was brought into the Hudson institute after the publication of his expose book, Super Imperialism in 1972. This was adopted as an operations manual for US global currency policy, as it portrayed the $US as being supported more by the necessity of buying oil and other trade items in $US, than by the gold backing, which had just been "suspended", as the US ran out of gold.

Hudson, therefore attended many high level strategic meetings with Kahn over a period of several years. He describes Kahn's analysis of the interventions necessary to destroy the system which supports people in a society. This included removing people from communities and putting them into tightly controlled compounds, "Strategic hamlets", which Israel has done with Gaza, and also the isolation of West Bank Palestinian communities from each other.

"Killing all of the journalists" was a lesson learned by the US during the Vietnam War, when diffusion of actual knowledge of the horrors of war ruined societal support for the war. ("Hey, hey, LBJ, How many kids did you kill today?") This is being carried out in Gaza and the Palestinian West Bank villages. Destruction of hospitals and of food supplies is critical. The message to humanitarian organizations to "go back home" was very effectively conveyed by the killing of 7 aid workers by 3 waves of drone attacks, until they were all dead and burned. Ships turned around. The mission closed down. Aid Workers, Hospitals and Doctors are at the "top of the target list" with Journalists.

The US promptly stopped funding for UNRWA, based on a few tortured confessions from UNRWA workers in Israeli prisons, and has blocked it until 2025, despite that background being revealed.

All of this is to make it impossible to live in Gaza, and to enforce death by starvation, which is less dramatic than bombing, upon all the Palestinians who will not leave.

Israel is the US/Western "aircraft carrier:" in the oil-producing Mideast, which LBJ (and others) have said "would have to be invented if it did not exist".

Hudson explores the threat to global oil supply and prices, if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, and how the US/Israel/West might be able to prevent that, such as by developing a pretext for massive attacks upon Iran, perhaps nuclear. Currently, Iran is being careful to avoid providing such a pretext for nuclear attack, after the provocation of the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus Syria last week.

The upshot is that this is the same coordinated policy as in Vietnam, and has been continuous in Israel/Palestine since the meetings Hudson attended during the Nixon administration in the early 1970s. The window-dressing for the American and western public is propaganda, and it is not effectively overriding the actual images people see, but it is delaying any real action to stop the genocide, while the starvation, bombing and destruction of all support-systems grinds forward.

Hudson points out that the only currently anti-war candidate running for POTUS is the Green Party Candidate, Jill Stein MD..

He discusses the plans to convert Gaza to an Israeli luxury development, with piers for yachts, installed by Americans. These purport to carry in food, but that is not happening.

Hudson reports Israeli deals with India for construction after the expulsion of Palestinians. He reports that the lack of money in supporting Palestinians helps drive the genocide.

The imperial project, as he lays it out, is the successful financialization of Genocide.

Seeing Gaza reduced to rubble both from the air and ground level its Deja Vu for me again especially the Al- Shifa Hospital. Deja Vu as in the ruins of Cologne Germany. No, there were no bodies around or the smell of decaying flesh when I came there two years after the war with my mother and sister. My father a German soldier had been located sick and not expected to make it for long after he was presumed missing and dead in Russia. I was born in Germany before the war began, my sister after. When the Russians got into Germany proper word of the atrocities committed by the red army against civilians especially women spread like wildfire. Sometime in 1944 my mother decided to go back to Denmark with us kids before the Russians arrived and the last trains in northern Germany stopped rolling due to constant air attack. By 1947 we were back in Germany as the unbelievable miracle of finding our dad alive happened. I know that our mother thought that that he was dead. Cologne was destroyed and looked like the worst parts of Gaza today. Little food a lot of it spoiled and no heat in the two rooms we had in the lower part of a building where the top half was bombed out. Our Mother made sure that every year in summer we went to Denmark to fatten up. As a German my father could not go to Denmark with his family at that time, besides as I found out later his whereabouts was strictly controlled by the Occupying Allies.

I often wondered why our Mother put us and herself through this awful time, she could have said "sorry" I am not going back to Germany.

But what is happening to those poor souls in Gaza in direct line of the worst atrocities one can imagine done to them by the Israhellies is worse than even Cologne at the height of its destruction. What was done to the German Cities and the civilians living in them during the war was mass murder period, just as it is now in Gaza with the added notice to all that we don't care, we hate you animals and we are going to kill all of you.

Unlike in WW2 where the reality of what happened comes much later we now have a front seat at the slaughterhouse.

There is something very very wrong sad and perverse with that.

16,000,000 Jews Globally... Supposedly 8,500,000,000 humans are living on earth. That represents around .0018823 or .18823% of humans on earth are Jews. Less than the half of these Jews are diehard Zionist Ashkenazy but I'll be generous and say the figure is .0009411 or .09411% are Zionists.

So a mere 8 million Jews are telling the other 8.5 BILLION human beings on earth that they do not like us, and that they want a world of their own without our presence. They insist that all Gentiles ( Goy ) are cattle to do with as they please.

How can it be that this tiny group of insane psychopaths are still around to torment kill and threaten non Jews with servitude and annihilation for centuries now. Brother Nathaniel / Real Jew News in his latest video describes the four ways of Jew Domination.

To me, these four way's can be successful only by the acquiescence of many helpers within the quarry being targeted. Every weakness is exploited. To around 20 million so called Christian ( they are not ) Zionists if videos surfaced along with credible witnesses of the Israelis roasting Gaza infants on open pit fires, it would be OK after all Israhell has a right to defend itself. I have talked to some of these people always talking about the book of revelations and it just sends an icy chill down my spine followed by a rage that I can just barely control.

Nietzche was correct in this simple statement "if animals are considered as stupid why is it that you must either bribe it with food or resort to force to do your bidding, while regarding a humans in general to achieve the same result all you need do is talk to them.

The gamut of gentile submissiveness runs from the Traitor and Criminal to the Weak and the Stupid. The day of dealing with these kinds of undesirables is highly needed.

I have no desire to leave this planet, so whatever world the Zionist seeks without me or my race being present.. its not this one.

Hitler.. tried to at least give the Jews a country and land on this planet, a place exclusively for Jews. Sure, he had an ulterior motive he wanted to get the Jews out of Europe because that had been a disaster for all concerned for centuries.

The times they are a changing... I dearly hope.

Perhaps I have a distorted sense of humour, or am jaded beyond repair, but a fine metaphor for the vacuous Zio-servomechanisms that our Western "Leaders" have become is this :

Classic Duracell Bunny Commercial (1979)

If you squint a little you can see Melanie Joly and Justin and Blinken and Biden et. al. among the little pink drumming toys marching along in formation under the influence of an external power.

Yes, I know - what a thought to have on the precipice of World War III!
