When i heard a zionist palestine i understand that he advocate for an ethnostate which is completely against canadian secularism.

Maybe? I think one thing is defending Canadian secularism because it's what we believe it's right for us. Another thing is a Canadian official claiming that a different nation should be secular. I don't think he's in a position to do that, even if, like me, he believes that secularism is the better and most humanitarian choice.

In the same they want iran to become a secular democracy. It's double standard.

Carney supported strike on iran because it's an autocracy then invite saudis who are as bad as Iran in this specific case

It is the zionism ideology that caused the nekba displacing 750k palestinian. It is zionism that was the motivation to occupy gaza and the west bank in 67, it is because of zionism that the illegal settlements are still build. You should understand why the term zioniat palestine is incceptable

Iran was developing nukes and Carney is against that.

Instead of watching clips of an interview intercut with someone telling you how you should feel about it and guessing at what was cut out, you could just watch the original interview where he explains his reasoning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-N0Vf9Djb8

And you could go further and read the report he's referencing from the IAEA: https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/statements/iaea-director-generals-introductory-statement-to-the-board-of-governors-9-june-2025

Israel has illegally built nuclear weapons for its self defense, why shouldn't Iran?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because the world isn't fair, and this isn't a sport.

In a fair world there would a nuclear exchange killing millions on both sides. Is that what you want?

Perhaps if Israel committed to giving up its nukes, withdrawing its illegal settlements, and giving Palestinians civilian trials instead of military trials, the Arab world would be open to cooperation

How about we start with the Arab world (and Iran too... they're not actually Arabic) just recognizing Israel exists? Telling a country they don't need weapons while also having no respect for their country existing probably isn't going to do anything.
