Following the events in Iran, Alexandre Boulerice, NDP Foreign Affairs Critic, issued the following statement:

"The NDP strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran. This is a dangerous escalation that risks dragging the entire region into a major conflict. The oppressive and bloody regime of the Ayatollahs is reprehensible, but its nuclear program must be managed through the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In fact, its Director General, Mr. Grossi, recently indicated that he was working with the Iranian administration to resume inspections and reiterated that there could be no solution other than a diplomatic one.

The NDP deplores the Carney government's decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump's administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace, and international law."

I am sorry but it is you who started with the idea that Israel controlling the USA is just an antisemitism propaganda talking point. I don't think you can blame me when I keep hearing false accusation of antisemitism that in real life can cost someone job . You don't know the financial situation of those people

I posted the clip from the Majority Report above. I hope you'll watch it, because it shows how we do in fact broadly agree, but makes the distinction about the construction of "Israel controls the US" vs the other way around, which, again, is the point I was making this entire time.

I'll again concede that there is definitely ambiguity in the comment that we're discussing.

And I hear what you're saying about consequences of unfounded accusations - but luckily, we're on a pseudonymous forum where it's (hopefully!) possible to discuss how various words and phrases can carry unintended meaning, and discuss all this (hopefully!) without any of those dire consequences.

This topic is, to say the least, incredibly fraught. And I totally see why you understood my initial comment the way you did. I could have done much better with my phrasing, which is obviously ironic given the point I was trying to make.

But I do believe we're on the same side here. ✌️
